Obama Threat Not Islam, but Socialism and His Civilian National Security Force
Yeah so the New Yorker Magazine put out this issue with a caricature of Obama and his wife dressed up like an Imam and an Angela Davis clone, AK-47 and all.
The Obama folks are livid and are eagerly expressing their outrage over this horrible affront to their "Fearless Leader."
In response, the New Yorker claims that their cover is a satirical expression of all of the rumors being spread by Obama's opponents on the extreme Right.
Okay New Yorker...whatever you say...I just find it interesting that this drawing appears not on the cover of any Conservative magazine, whether the old, long established magazines like National Review or Reason, of the newer "movement Conservative" magazines like the Weekly Standard or Frontpage Magazine, but on the cover of an the New Yorker, which has an old, long established, very Left-wing bias.
My problem is, I am not concerned as to whether or not Obama is a Muslim or a Christian. I am not concerned with whether of not Obama was "raised and educated in a Madrasa." I am not concerned about the "Muslim" problem at all...and you shouldn't be concerned either...it's a non-issue.
Whether or not Obama actually is a Muslim, will be determined in due course if he becomes our 44th President and the American electorate will reject such a threat in short order.
American voters are sometimes gullible, but they are not stupid and they are unlikely to surrender control of their fiercely guarded individualism simply because some hip, slick and cool character comes along and seduces them. If he was to attempt to institute Sharia Law, or began courting Muslim extremists, he would be rejected out of hand.
Unfortunately, American voters are very susceptible to the siren's song of Socialism and Marxism. Those two imposters are usually presented as high minded, noble, and compassionate alternatives to the "dog-eat-dog" world of capitalism and free market economies. The truth is, they appeal not to our nobler nature, but to our baser envious, greedy, and slothful nature.
Socialism/Marxism tells us that "the government" will take care of all our needs and they will do so by making those "evil rich people" pay for it.
Democrats and Obama, in their arrogance, still hold on to those failed models. "This is America," they say, "shouldn't we be able to succeed where others have failed?" This statement is a perfect summary of the combination of arrogance and naiveté embodied by the American Left. They eschew the hard realities and lessons taught to us by history for their faith in an unachievable ideal.
That arrogance is what makes those on the Left dangerous and it is what makes Obama dangerous.
If you believe that you are right and everyone who disagrees with you is wrong and by inference too ignorant to know what is best for them, then it becomes very reasonable to adopt an attitude of, "If the people don't want to do what is best for themselves, we must force it upon them."
Thus we have Obama's call, last week, for a a civilian national security force.
Now that's a scary idea. Adolph Hitler also had a large well funded civilian national security force composed of young idealistic youths. They were called the "Hitler-Jugend" or Hitler Youth.
In 1930 the Hitler-Jugend was comprised of 25,000 males from 14 years old and up, by 1932 there were over 108,000. By 1936 there were 5,000,000 Hitler-Jugends and membership was mandatory.
Obama's plan is to expand Americorps from its current funding level of 75,000 volunteers to 250,000. If he does what he is promising, how many of our youths will wind up being inducted into this program? Remember, "just as powerful, just as strong and just as well funded" as our military.
In his speech at the University of Colorado campus, Obama said:
We don't want government to tell us who our doctor is or what services we have access to. We don't want to hand over our nation to you and your new civilian paramilitary organizations.
Will the Department of Homeland Security be turned into the American equivalent of the G.D.D.R.'s (East Germany) Ministerium für Staatssicherheit (Ministry for State Security)?
Our nation was and is founded on the belief that individual freedom and liberty is of paramount importance. To further that belief, our Founding Fathers set severe limits to the power of the state to control the people.
You will not find in our nation's charter (the Declaration of Independence) nor in our nation's founding document, the Constitution of the United States, any mention of a "civilian national security force."
For a man who claims to have taught "constitutional law" at the University of Chicago Law School, Mr. Obama sure has a strange view of what is and is not provided for in our constitution.
We all would do well to recall the words of George Washington, posted at the top of my web page. It is a stern warning from our first and greatest president. George Washington maybe the only leader in history to walk away from the offer of becoming King of a nation and his words are as powerful and meaningful today as they were 200 years ago:

- Tired of that "other guy" making more than you? Don't worry; just let "the government" set salaries..."equal pay for equal work"...gives you instant "social justice."
- Afraid of the future and retirement, but don't want to save for it yourself? Don't worry, "the government" will provide retirement benefits for you, pay "just a little more" in taxes.
- Can't afford housing? Don't worry, "the government" will provide you with low cost housing...all you have to do is pay "just a little bit more" in taxes.
- Can't afford Medical Insurance? Don't worry, "the government" will provide you with inexpensive, single payer insurance...all you have to do is give up your right to choose your doctor and your procedure...and, of course, pay "just a little bit more" in taxes.
- Don't want to work, but lack the income to live? Don't worry, "the government" will set a minimum income level to provide you all of your necessities...just let your fellow hard-working citizens pay "just a little bit more" in taxes.

Thus we have Obama's call, last week, for a a civilian national security force.
"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded."Imagine a large civilian force "just as powerful, just as strong, and just as well funded" as our military...answerable to whom, the President?

"Loving your country shouldn't just mean watching fireworks on the 4th of July. Loving your country must mean accepting your responsibility to do your part to change it. If you do, your life will be richer, our country will be stronger.Mr. Obama, there are many of us out here in "fly-over land" who don't want the changes you want. We like our nation's culture and economy just the way they are.
We will ask Americans to serve. We will create new opportunities for Americans to serve."
We don't want government to tell us who our doctor is or what services we have access to. We don't want to hand over our nation to you and your new civilian paramilitary organizations.Will the Department of Homeland Security be turned into the American equivalent of the G.D.D.R.'s (East Germany) Ministerium für Staatssicherheit (Ministry for State Security)?
Will you create an American "Stasi" to report on those who don't want to go along with your "change?"
How expansive will this new order be? What powers will be vested in them ultimately? Will they be used to report "minor" offenses like non politically correct speech? Perhaps they will serve as the Left's thought police, determining whether or not a "hate crime" is being committed.
For those of you who believe I am stretching the point, I will remind you of the words found on Obama's Presidential Campaign webpage:
“We must build a world free of unnecessary barriers, stereotypes, and discrimination .... policies must be developed, attitudes must be shaped, and buildings and organizations must be designed to ensure that everyone has a chance to get the education they need and live independently as full citizens in their communities.”Sorry Barack, I don't want or need my attitude "shaped" by the likes of you and your Democrat Party. I don't want the youth of our nation organized, propagandized and sent out to "assist" their fellow citizens.
Our nation was and is founded on the belief that individual freedom and liberty is of paramount importance. To further that belief, our Founding Fathers set severe limits to the power of the state to control the people.
You will not find in our nation's charter (the Declaration of Independence) nor in our nation's founding document, the Constitution of the United States, any mention of a "civilian national security force."

George Washington maybe the only leader in history to walk away from the offer of becoming King of a nation and his words are as powerful and meaningful today as they were 200 years ago:
"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action."It is a lesson that Democrats would do well to heed, but which seems to fall on deaf ears. Rather than worshipping government, our forefathers feared it. They chose to place power in the hands of free citizens, not government, because they had seen first hand what an all powerful government was capable of.
I'll take my admonitions from President George Washington, not candidate Barack Obama, thank-you very much.
Remember, government is a means to an end, not the end itself.
Long Live Our American Republic!!!

Nice work Mr Malven...and the hit's just keepon comin'...but!!..
..and now that obomba is over-sufficiently vetted for the concious...this now becomes a long-awaited and long-lasting full-vetting of mainstream media. obomba is fast-becoming 'old news'.
For liberals, they should be careful, as their gluttenous endulgence of multiple-orgasms might put them into bed on the morning of Nov. 3 when they should be getting up to vote!
For Conservatives, why should we be surprised about anything that comes out of the mouth of this 'child'...so lets do something productive!..not critique the scene of a car-crash and say it's a mess. How challenging is that?
But...nice insights. In what way do the things that obomba says will help us conservatives really be heard? I don't think even John McCain can yet hear us or he would be giving the 'listened-to' proper response.
Until the election is closer, we are hearing mostly the clumsiness of both candidates handlers. That's why it's the voters that need to be speaking now...and not about the candidates.
my apologies..but what else would one expect a highly-indoctrinated socialist running for president to say? There will be more coming (however veiled in the next few months)...there has been enough already. The only thing analysis of obomba's comments is good for in the future is for comparison on his future flip-flops in an effort to drag 'unfortunates' over to our side of the line, quick, before they vote for him. ..and he (and his wife) are a veritable factory of precluding-evidence that has already put out its best product.

Your articles provide some more of that amusing right-wing, hare brained analysis of the world. No wonder there are so few conservative intellectuals, it becomes obvious you guys detest analysis and rely on the Biblical, bronze-age notion of black and white.
Your site, however, does provide a great time capsule. In this times capsule Mccain is a viable candidate likely to win and Obama is the next Hitler. And they say you Conservatives have no sense of humor!!
For the ultra Liberal at the bottom.
Either you are an Idiot. I suspect that to be the case. What's your IQ anyway?
Something less than the square root of your shoe size?
Or are you are an enemy of the state.
I would love to meet you in private somewhere.
Socialism has destroyed every society who has had enough ignorant Welfare minded idiots to vote it in.
This country is a Republic, not a Democracy.
Democracy is a design for failure.
Democracy in about 200 to 250 years always leads to socialism, leads to Communism and eventually complete collapse of any ordered society.
If you don't know what a Republic is then learn to read.
Of course reading and comprehending are two really different things. Aren't they?
I see you can read and write, but you are never the less an idiot or an enemy of my country.
