Now it can be told: Obama has “Muslim roots”
posted at 8:08 pm on June 2, 2009 by Allahpundit
I guess this means the “Hussein” comment that O’Reilly smeared us with last week wasn’t so offensive after all. Ah well. Enjoy talking about it now because, come 2012, it’ll be safely verboten once again.
You can imagine Tapper writing the headline to his post, thinking, “I know Drudge is going to love this. I know it.” And sure enough. That’s the mark of a smart blogger, folks. Anyone can wring big traffic from a big story. Wringing big traffic from crap is where we separate the men from the boys.
Which reminds me. We’re overdue for an atheism post.
During a conference call in preparation for President Obama’s trip to Cairo, Egypt, where he will address the Muslim world, deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications Denis McDonough said “the President himself experienced Islam on three continents before he was able to — or before he’s been able to visit, really, the heart of the Islamic world — you know, growing up in Indonesia, having a Muslim father — obviously Muslim Americans (are) a key part of Illinois and Chicago.”…
Since the election, however, with the threat of the rumors at least somewhat abated, the White House has been increasingly forthcoming about the president’s roots. Especially when reaching out to the Muslim world.
In his April 6 address to the Turkish Parliament, President Obama referenced how many “Americans have Muslims in their families or have lived in a Muslim majority country. I know, because I am one of them.”
This should give U.S. diplomats a handy conversation-starter with the “death to America” crowd we’ve invited to celebrate, um, America’s birthday. Exit question: Whose Obama cultists are more devout, ours or Egypt’s? I’d say it’s a close call.

You know what’s scary? I could really see Dear Leader doing that. He’d talk about a false choice between “those who say blahblahblah” and how HE says yaddayaddayadda and so on, and then he’d announce he’s a Muslim, and the crowd would cheer. Honestly, I don’t think the Obamabots would give a crap what he says. Obama could come out and say he talks to Mr. Happy the Purple Elephant every morning, and the next day they’d praise his wonderful imagination. We are so screwed.
TheQuestion on June 2, 2009 at 9:03 PM
It’s a bit more complicated than Obama just being a proud and strongly-rooted “former Muslim” or whatever he wants to portray in the 57 states.
Notice for instance the specific location of Cairo University.
Hint: Obama as Pharaoh, Sun God, Osiris Rising, etc.
Obama even has his own Winged Sun-Disk of Ra logo
“And the meaning of the winged Sundisk is this, – It is the symbol of perfect Aspiration towards the Divine, of Purification of the lower nature, and of final ascent into union with the One.”

That’s one of the characteristics of the demoralization phase of ideological subversion. People who have been systematically demoralized by a pervasive system rooted in communist ideals are not able to see truth even when it stares them in the face. Yuri Bezmenov says they could be shown a concentration camp and would still deny it, and that they will only see it when the boot hits them in their own fat bottoms.

But Obama wasn’t one bit worried. He cruised on to victory because of the crisis, aided by money he will never have to tell us the source of.

ted c on June 2, 2009 at 9:27 PM
PLEASE NOTE how slyly Obama migrates any questions about who he is into one of “many Americans” and that empathy-thing “for Muslims”.
HE’S PROVING HIMSELF TO BE THAT WHICH HE IS TRYING TO DISCOURAGE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HIM OF…
His entire life story is fantasy as stated in his books, perhaps written by William Ayers if not certainly edited by him otherwise, or, manipulated toward an Ayers-end by Ayers, in other words, and any defining documents about Barack Obama and associations and affiliations are blacked-out from public access (birth, academic and medical records, all forbidden information about Obama).
There are reasons why Obama will not release that information, not in any genuine form. He and the DNC have been hoping to coast on through with just the “rendition” by Ayers/Obama about this fictitious character, “Obama,” who they’ve created, as becoming truth-known by the public, the supplanting of reality with theatre or fiction and calling it real instead.
One thing overwhelmingly accurate about both Barack and wife (as also with Ayers and wife) is that these are not disadvantaged people (nor is Sotomayor, to bring her into this issue). The Left USES this tear-jerking rendition of a story (“oh, woe, I was disadvantaged, look how I rose to overcome my disadvantages, or, the disadvantages placed upon me and my family by the [White man/Rightwing/Republicans/United States], etc.”).
None of these were disadvantaged, all enjoyed a far above average education, lived in privately owned homes with (most) two parents present at least some of their lives if not all in some cases, were never starved, abandoned, abused, neglected…

To the Left, apparently, being “disadvantaged” means you didn’t get your Cadillac every other year, no magazine covers featured you that month or someone abused you by not feeding you Kobi beef, caviar and gin martinis every night of the week. Oh, woe, to be so disadvantaged.

This information — Frank Marshall Davis was a communist (and not only a communist but a big ole’ radical, agitating communist of international-connections-proportions, many of which are in/of/associated with Chicago, Illinois, and the Black Panther movement, to name but a few) — was all over the internet last year for anyone who might care to read it and learn but it was largely either ignored or ridiculed by the Left. I don’t think it bothers them, is my point, just that it bothers them when anyone points out that Obama is a communist as were his grandparents, mother, father/s and ugly, perverse Frank Marshall Davis, his mentor.
Davis was also a convicted pedophile…Obama’s mentor, pedophile communist ugly man.

A lot of Americans value safety/comfort above freedom, and that is actually the culture this generation has been raised in. I looked at “Current Communist Goals”, found at http://www.crossroad.to/Quotes/communism/communist-goals-congressional.htm and the thing that hit me for the first time is the attack on the family. It occurred to me that intact families are the competition for communism.
The Judeo-Christian worldview has the family as the basic unit of society. The family provides, teaches, perseveres, treats in sickness, etc. Communism wants the government to do it. So what communists have done is whatever it takes to destroy the family (look at the list and see what I mean). That way, they can say, “It would be nice if every family could provide for itself. But families today can’t do that so we need to step in and take care of them.
Then those people who go on welfare breed like rabbits so the working families have to be taxed more and more to pay for them. That will contribute to the breakdown of even more families. In the meantime, those with families are minding their own business raising their kids and don’t have time to do the “community organizing” that the “rabbits” are able to do.
This summer our public elementary school in town is offering free breakfast and lunch to any school-aged kid, no questions asked. Paid for by a federal grant. When did the schools become welfare offices? But who is going to stand up and say, “Why aren’t these families taking care of their kids?” – especially now that Cloward-Piven has broken our economy?
