Obama's True Colors Lie Beneath Radar Screen

Over the past few days I have been literally sickened by the the chorus of supposedly 'conservative' voices lauding Barack Obama for his 'moderate' Cabinet choices.

Larry Kudlow of National Review is pleased. Peggy Noonan is pleased. George Will is pleased.

And to add insult to injury, the 'Beltway Boys' on Fox News, Fred Barnes and Mort Kandracke, actually stated with a straight face Saturday afternoon that Obama was 'moving to the right.'

I hate to rain on your parade, boys, but balderdash. I see Murdoch and Ailes have gotten to you as well with his 'lay off of Obama' directive.

Obama is clearly NOT moving to the center or the right, despite how things appear with some of his Cabinet choices. There are more than enough wild-eyed Leftwing ideologues around to more than make up for the so-called 'centrists' in the Cabinet.

Obama's true colors are shining through in his under-the-radar screen selections of personnel who will form his White House Staff and political advisers.

He has chosen a hatchet man of the Left, Rahm Emanuel, for his Chief of Staff, and ultra-liberal gun-grabber Eric Holder as his Attorney-General.

But perhaps one of the most telling and disturbing actions of all on the part of Obama is the recent re-hiring of rabid anti-Israel demagogue Samantha Power.

Power had resigned from the Obama campaign after she referred to Hillary Clinton as a 'mobster.'

She has also called for the U.S. to invade Israel to force a settlement with the Palestinians.

Darkblog has much more on the thinking of Power and her boss, Barack Obama, HERE.

Needless to say, the Leftist radicalism inherent in the Barack Obama phenomenon is flying beneath the radar screen, but it is still there. While the media and the public focus on the 'centrist' and supposedly 'brilliant' Cabinet choices, behind the scenes Obama is loading up his White House staff and political advisory positions with the extremists who have defined his Leftist political ideology the entirety of his career.

What Is An 'Anti-American?'

An anonymous poster in the comments section of this blog took me to task over referring to former Democratic Presidential candidates George McGovern, Michael Dukakis, and John Kerry, and the present candidate Barack Obama, as anti-American.

I stand by the charge.

Thus, what is the definition of an 'anti-American?'

An anti-American is one whose political ideology is diametrically opposite of that which is embodied in the Constitution of the United States.

The Constitution is our final authority in all matters of law and governance.

Thus, one cannot be for robbing citizens of their right to own, bear, and use firearms for defense and protection, and then claim to uphold the U.S. Constitution. The two are mutually exclusive.

One cannot promote measures that limit free speech, free exercise of religion, a free press, or the freedom to assemble, and claim to uphold the U.S. Constitution. The two are blatantly incongruent.

And it really doesn't matter how much time such persons may have spent in the military. Some have even gone to war. While that is admirable, such acts of service to one's country do not automatically make them pro-American if they turn around and trash the Constitution in their political beliefs.

This is why in the United States of America one can be a true patriot even if they never served in the official, government-sanctioned military. And serving in that military does not automatically make one a patriot.

It is all about beliefs, ideology, political philosophy.

And this is precisely why I will fight tooth and toenail against those who self-righteously claim to be 'patriots' who love their country but who nonetheless work to rob citizens of their Constitutional rights, condone the killing of unborn infants and even those who survive attempts to kill them (this is barbarism every bit as dangerous as the Nazis and Communists), and who in the name of religion seek to steal from ordinary citizens through taxation to pay for programs that government has no business implementing in a free society.

In short, I don't give a damn what your military service has been if your views are more in line with Fidel Castro, Joseph Stalin, and Karl Marx than with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Patrick Henry.

As the old saying goes, 'Just because a mouse gets into the cookie jar doesn't make him a cookie.'

The Colorado Model:How Leftists Plan a Takeover

Leftists who now control the Democratic Party in America can point to a successful model which they can use to take over the country.

It is called 'the Colorado Model,' a highly successful experiment involving rich liberals who funnel big bucks into a state to bury the GOP and insure that liberal/Leftist Democrats are elected to office.

So successful the model has been in Colorado that Democrats are considering implementing the same plan nationally.

Contrary to popular perception, liberals are clearly NOT those who 'empathize with the poor' but are elitists who believe the masses should live by a different set of rules than their own.

Most of them are affluent and prescribe a very Spartan manner of living for average citizens while they themselves drive the largest limos and live in mansions, spewing carbon based trash into the air like no 'average citizen.'

They have no intention of giving that up once they force the rest of us into serfdom with limited choices as to how we control our own lives. Had they had honorable intentions they would have already given up the lavish lifestyles.

But Al Gore, Barbra Streisand, Susan Sarandon, and thousands of other rich liberals continue to demand the best of everything the world has to offer while lecturing the rest of us about driving SUVs, running our air conditioning, or even using Albuterol to control asthma--one of the latest casualties of the false 'global warming' hysteria.

One of the worst offenders is Democrat elitist operative George Soros, the billionaire who has pumped multi-millions of dollars into the Democratic Party for the single purpose of first controlling the Party, and then controlling America.

The details of the plan for a national takeover read like a scene from a futuristic science-fiction novel. Barack Obama has even spoken of a large, well-trained 'citizen army' that would not only function along side of the U.S. military but possess all of the equipment to be just as powerful.

So don't look now, but liberal storm troopers may be on the way!

What If Jackson's Off-Mic Remarks Were Planned?

Did Jessie Jackson sacrifice himself in order to help Barack Obama's campaign? What if Jackson's off-the-microphone remarks were planned? What if he wanted everyone to think he despises Obama so much that he wishes to 'take him off at the nuts'?

Remember that one of the central staples of the Hillary Clinton campaign was to scare white people away from Obama. Bill was usually the 'bad cop' in this ploy as he stated again and again that Barack never does well with key Caucasian groups he needs to win and that he does well only in those states with large African-American populations.

The express intent of this political strategy is to create fear in the minds of Caucasian voters, particularly white women.

But the thing is, the one nationally-known Black figure that Caucasians fear and detest outside of Al Sharpton is Jessie Jackson. And if Jackson of all people hints that he despises Obama because Obama isn't 'talking the talk' Black folk like to hear, then what better way to scare white people, not away from Obama but toward Obama?

If Caucasians are led to believe that Obama is unacceptable to people like Jackson, then perhaps some of them would not be so reluctant to support him.

Make no mistake, people like Al Sharpton, Spike Lee, and Jessie Jackson would LOVE for a Black Man to be President, despite any personal jealousy they may have.

The issue, however, is not race primarily. The issue is the type of 'hope' and 'change' Obama would usher in--a total revamping of the nature of this country from top to bottom. This has been the goal of Leftists all along, and a bad case of personal jealousy is not going to prevent them from doing anything possible to secure a victory.

And thus, don't count out the possibility that Jackson planned the whole thing.

A Marxist Because of Religious Faith?

Seen on a bumper-sticker today, along with other Leftist propaganda--'A Democrat Because of My Faith.'

Since when did Marxist-Socialist-Communist ideology become part of one's religious faith?

It has always been assumed that since Marx was anti-religion and since Communism always mandated atheism, religious faith has been antithetical to the principles espoused by those whose political ideology leads them to embrace the concepts affirmed in Marxist Socialism.

Just as Democrats for the last 30 years have wrapped themselves in the flag to hide their unpatriotic and outright anti-American sentiments, including a disdain for our military, it appears that this year they are going to wrap themselves in religion to hide their disdain for traditional Christianity and conservatism, using their faith to justify their embrace of radical, extremist schools of thought.

A Commie is still a Commie no matter how 'religious' they claim to be.

I Smell Another Liberal Hollywood Smear

A film will be released three weeks before election day in November entitled 'W'--another of Oliver Stone's supposed 'biographical' pieces about political figures, this time, George W. Bush.

Given Stone's political views and his history in political film-making, there is no reason to believe this movie will be anything other than a Bush-bash, released just before the election, in tandem with liberal efforts to claim a John McCain presidency will be simply a 3rd George Bush term.

Not only that, but the President is being played by none other than Josh Brolin, son of actor James Brolin, who, along with wife Barbra Streisand are two of the most partisan, liberal, Democratic activists in America.

This is no accident. It is to be remembered that it was James Brolin who played Ronald Reagan in a very controversial film about the former President, which was forced to be removed from the CBS lineup due to an overwhelming public outcry against the movie.

Getting known Hollywood liberal activists to play Republican Presidents is a typical Hollywood ploy. No matter how supposedly 'fair' or 'balanced' the script may be, the very fact that an extremist activist gets to interpret how the role is played automatically makes the performance skewed.

The actor is going to make sure that his/her subject comes off looking as much like a buffoon as possible.

It's not so much that I am coming to the defense of George W. Bush. I have regularly taken Bush apart on this blog for several months now, and thus, this has nothing to do with my views concerning him. Rather, my objective is to expose the Hollywood sleight of hand, as well as its hypocrisy.

The practice of Hollywood in claiming innocence in these matters, while at the same time pulling stunts that show to alert observers that the movie business is a bastion of extremist liberal activists who will stop at nothing to smear those who get in their way, is proof positive that Hollywood uses its movies as a tool to spread Leftist propaganda.

Alec Baldwin Verbally Abuses 11-Yr.-Old Daughter

Washington, DC (TLS). Alec Baldwin, the Hollywood Leftist elitist who stated he would 'move out of the country' if George W. Bush were elected President, has been caught red-handed engaging in severe verbal and emotional abuse of his eleven-year-old daughter.

I am still waiting for Baldwin to make good on his word to move out of the country.

It's been seven years now. Perhaps it is time for us to usher him out.

Baldwin referred to his own flesh and blood as a 'pig.' And this is not the worst of it. At the end of this article you will find a link to a site where you can hear each and every word of Baldwin's violent rage against his daughter on a voice mail message he left for her.

Warning! This taped excerpt contains vile language and should not be listened to by under aged persons.

So, why do we publicize such things on The Liberty Sphere? Simple. You have a right to know what the self-righteous, particularly the bleeding-heart Liberal hypocrites, are actually doing and saying behind closed doors. They hold the rest of America to a standard they are not willing to abide by themselves.

Baldwin is a despicable human being. And when you hear what he said to his own daughter, you will in all likelihood agree.

Pressure Groups Shape Media Bias

Washington, DC (TLS). Pressure groups have found a way to gain access to news rooms all across the country, particularly those of the four major mainstream networks (ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC). These groups raise millions of dollars each year from their partisan supporters, and thus, they exert an enormous amount of influence on the manner in which stories are presented.

Hints of this came to light last Fall as it was discovered that Democrat billionaire operative George Soros was meeting on a regular basis leading up to the November 2006 elections with network execs, editors, and reporters to discuss how news stories could be presented in such a manner as to help Democrats and hurt President Bush.

As it turns out, this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Scores of Leftist pressure groups are doing the same thing on a regular basis all across the country. In some instances, these special interest groups have convinced reporters that there is no need to present an alternative view, that in essence the spin of the story dictated by the special interest group is the ONLY valid point of view on the issues.

A perfect example is ABC News and its presentation of global warming. According to ABC News reporter Bill Blakemore, there is NO alternative point of view on the subject. And thus, 'striving for balance' would be ludicrous.

The problem is that it has not occurred to Mr. Blakemore that there is nowhere near a consensus in the scientific community concerning the CAUSE of global warming, as MIT professor Richard S. Lindzen so eloquently demonstrated yesterday in his eye-opening article on the flaws of present computer models in predicting future changes in climate.

Blakemore, however, would like for viewers to believe that there is no such dissension in the scientific community and that the contention that mankind caused global warming is an open and shut case and not subject to question.

Such is the influence of the special interest pressure groups that have gained access to news rooms. Their money and their lobbying influence have essentially bought off reporters, robbing viewers of having the issues reported to them in an objective fashion.

Reader Blasts Liberty Sphere for April Fool's

Washington, DC (TLS). A most interesting comment was received today to highlight April Fool's. Fortunately, I moderate the comments section, meaning, I have the final (and only) word as to what gets posted.

I began that process when I discovered that there are too many spam artists out there who were taking up my cyber space for their unsolicited ads.

However, I have also discovered that being able to moderate one's comment section prevents one's blog from being overwhelmed by less-than-desirable verbiage, much of which can be downright insulting and even threatening.

Today a most interesting comment came my way--from one of the Commie-Nazi Leftists, no doubt--who stated that he could think of no better poster-child for April Fool's Day than me.

This brilliant assessment was interspersed with various and sundry profanities and insults, one of which disparaged my heritage, which was capped off by a vague reference to my Mother.

The writer in question, however, made one glaring mistake. He mentioned that today was his birthday.

Stating that he could think of no better way to celebrate his birthday than to deliver a scathing and profane attack on one of the so-called 'purveyors of right-wing hate,' he proceeded to claim that knowing I would 'squirm in emotional languish' would be an even better birthday present than season tickets to the New York Yankees.

Interesting. My attacker was born on April 1--which has been traditionally known as 'All Fools' Day.'

As one preacher told a congregant who confessed before an entire congregation to having sex with his brother's wife, 'Brother, I don't believe I would have told that!'

Sometimes being attacked is a blessing in disguise, in this case, the source of much merriment--so much so that I briefly considered calling the paramedics for some extra oxygen. Having the last laugh can be so wickedly delightful.

I once knew a man personally who was born on All Fools' Day--one of wisest men I ever met. Very few people knew that his birthday was on April 1. But each April Fool's Day he went around wishing people 'Happy Birthday.' When they protested, 'But, this is not my birthday,' he would immediately look puzzled and say, 'But, isn't this All Fool's Day?'

My friend knew that the beginning of wisdom is not taking oneself too seriously.

Oh, and Happy All Fools' Day.

This Could Happen Here

Washington, DC (TLS). Germany persecutes parents who homeschool their children. Although homeschooling is allowed in most of Europe, under heavy government regulation, Germany on the other hand requires all children under the age of 16 to attend its state-run schools.

The German regulations on education date back to Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime when the Third Reich feared that citizens may teach their children anti-government views if allowed to teach them at home.

Apparently the Nazi mindset on education is still very much alive in Germany.

And woe be unto you if your reasoning for wishing to homeschool your children has anything to do with religion!

This mindset exists in the U.S. among the Leftist elites who view European Socialism as the model for American government. At least two of these sorts are running for President--Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama.

Conservatives Get Death Threats at Georgia Tech

Atlanta, GA (TLS). Does the name Ruth Malhotra mean anything to you? Probably not. But it should, and perhaps after this story makes its rounds, it will.

Malhotra is a student at Georgia Tech in Atlanta who has been the recipient of numerous death threats, including threats of rape, after she joined up with College Republicans to oppose the so-called 'gay pride' day at the school.

So far, administration officials at Georgia Tech have engaged in excessive foot-dragging in conducting investigations into the threats. Atlanta police officials say they have no leads into who is behind these despicable acts of domestic terrorism on the college campus, in spite of the fact that some of the messages contain the signatures of the persons who sent them.

The Liberty Sphere has become increasingly aware in recent days of a massive problem brewing just underneath the surface on college and university campuses across the nation. Conservative speakers such as Victor Davis Hanson and Ann Coulter have been heckled into silence. Ex-Jihadist Nonie Darwish was not allowed to fulfill a speaking engagement at one university due to threats by Muslim students. College Republicans at Michigan State University were the target of Congressional investigations due to a party they sponsored called 'Find the Illegal Alien,' in order to highlight the nation's explosive problem with illegals invading our country. The highly respected conservative student organization, Young Americans for Freedom, was designated as a 'hate group' by the Southern Poverty Law Center for its support for enforcing the nation's immigration laws, for the definition of marriage as being that between and man and a woman, and for the desire to end affirmative action as a racist/sexist program that places merit in a subservient position to race and gender.

These examples are only the tip of the iceberg, however.

Take the case of Ruth Malhotra at Georgia Tech. Her problems began when she complained about a course taught by Georgia Persons, who told her that because she attended a meeting of the Conservative Political Action Committee, which necessitated her missing one class, that she would fail the course, in spite of having an 'A' average.

It was all downhill from there.

Milhotra reports that conservatives on campus are thwarted by the faculty and administration in every move they make, while Leftist groups are given a green light.

But it was campus conservatives' opposition to a gay pride day and their protest of 'the Vagina Monologues' that seemed to mark the beginning of the death and rape threats against Malhotra. She was even summoned to a meeting with the President of the School, during which she was told that her involvement with the College Republicans was 'distasteful' and violated the spirit of civility they wanted to foster on campus.

Malhotra then presented the President with a litany of examples that Georgia Tech is anything but civil when it comes to the overt support of Leftwing politics. Stating that the College Republicans were muzzled on every hand by administration, Leftwing groups on the other hand were given free reign in violently condemning President Bush, the War in Iraq, and Christians on campus. Malhotra contends that Christians, such as herself, are often targets of vile and demeaning insults on campus by fellow students.

To this, Molhotra was given the brush off.

In fact, it appears that the series of death threats and rape threats have ALSO been given the brush off by Georgia Tech officials.

Yet a lawsuit filed by Molhotra against the school resulted in a major legal setback for Georgia Tech. A Judge found that Tech's regulations on speech and its selective manner of enforcing those regulations was unconstitutional.

Molhotra's victory in court against Georgia Tech brought forth even more death threats. One stated, 'So you're not dead yet? You will be soon.'

Another threat stated, 'Don't even try to protest our National Coming Out Day. If you do you will regret it. You are already hated on campus, and you should fear for your life.'

The shocking aspect to all of this is that in spite of the fact that some of these threats contain the signatures of the persons who wrote them, Georgia Tech officials and the Atlanta Police have yet to do one thing about it.

If something happens to this courageous young lady, steps should be taken to investigate every single member of the Administration of Georgia Tech who, through their silence, have been co-conspirators in the intimidation and criminal threats against a student.

In fact, if something is not done about the obvious clowns who run this Leftist, communist organization that fronts as a university, then steps should be taken to shut it down. They are a disgrace to American academia.

The Dick Cheney Factor

Washington, DC (TLS). Despite assurances from the U.S. military that Vice-President Dick Cheney was not the target of an assassination attempt yesterday during a trip to Afghanistan, the Taliban wasted no time claiming that the Vice-President was, indeed, a target. Cheney himself has made it clear that he believes that he was a target and that the attack occurred in close proximity, so close in fact that Cheney says he heard an extremely loud boom. This is all in spite of the military's official statement that Cheney was 'well out of danger when the attack occurred.'

Taliban leaders stated late yesterday that they had full knowledge of the Vice-President's itinerary and his whereabouts.

I will make no attempt to prove or disprove an assassination attempt against Cheney here. I simply take the Taliban at its word. It is no secret that both the Taliban and Al Qaeda would consider the assassination of either Cheney or Bush to be a great triumph of extremist Islam. Thus, we can be thankful that Cheney narrowly escaped the murderous clutches of one of the most dangerous terrorist organizations in the world.

Not everyone in America shares those sentiments, however.

In November of last year, the Huffington website posted a poem in the form of a prayer. The subject of the poem was a man who was praying for the death of Dick Cheney, the result of a massive heart-attack. Numerous conservative columnists and bloggers screamed to high heaven about the despicable display, and Huffington eventually took down the poem from her site.

Yesterday, however, various and sundry extremist Leftist bloggers began their verbal carnage once again, lamenting the fact that Cheney did not die in the assassination attempt in Afghanistan.

One such blogger wrote that he could not ascertain whether it would be better for Cheney to be assassinated, since obviously conservatives would use his martyrdom to sing his praises, or for Cheney to live so that he can eventually be brutally dragged through the mud in the wake of charges of 'crimes against humanity.' The mere fact that a blogger would even be musing about such a dreadful and inhumane subject is a chilling example of just how far into the abyss the Left has fallen.

There was a time in America when treason and sedition were vigorously prosecuted.

Those days are no more. America seems to have as many enemies among its own citizens as it does among terrorists overseas.

Has it occurred to all of you as it has to me that each and every outrageously hateful and extremist position that is taken by terrorists seems to be echoed by the far-Left in this country? With some of our own citizens writing on the Internet that they are sorry that Cheney was not assassinated, apparently we have as much to fear from them as we do the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

Therefore, this column is dedicated to the honor of Vice President Dick Cheney, the man that most of us conservatives wish were President. If ever there were a consistently brave, patriotic voice in this government, it is that of Dick Cheney. He has stood his ground in the face of stinging opposition. He has been a bold soldier in the fight for liberty and justice in the face of terrorism. He has not hesitated to point out the irrationality and hypocrisy of Leftists in Congress, pointedly at times.

I for one am proud to call him my Vice President, and The Liberty Sphere is thankful that his life was spared in the wake of an assassination attempt by some of the most despicable human beings on the planet.

And the Leftists in this country who hailed the attempt on Cheney's life fall into a category even lower than the terrorists. They are ours, and yet they say such things. They are scum-bags who are to be loathed.

Renewed Calls for Assault Weapons Bans

Washington, DC (TLS). The Salt Lake terrorist attack by Bosnian Muslim Sulejmen Talovic has resulted in renewed calls for assault weapons bans. As always in cases like this, the usual suspects among the gun-grabbers and Leftist ideologues seize incidents such as school shootings, mass murders in shopping malls, and the like, in order to attempt to capture public sentiment at a vulnerable moment to advance their subversive agenda. That agenda is the disarming of law-abiding citizens in the name of keeping criminals from using guns.

Of course, the apologists for the Left will predictably claim that since Talovic had no history of violent activity, then the only way to address tragedies such as the one he perpetrated is to pass legislation restricting access to weapons among the general population.

Naturally, the Liberals will never acknowledge that it was a concealed weapon carried by a citizen who happened to be a cop off duty that stopped the killer. Had this hero not been present, had he not used the concealed weapon in his possession, then the carnage wreaked by Talovic would have been infinitely worse.

But let's cut right to the chase for a moment, shall we? Instead of making law-abiding citizens pay for the actions of a criminal minority, why don't we go straight to the source of these problems and acknowledge that extremist Muslims are intent on carrying out this type of attack and others like it, and we had best be getting ourselves ready for urban warfare against terrorists--warfare that will require citizens to carry and use their guns.

The same can be said for school violence. Administrators and others within school systems across the country need to be allowed to carry concealed weapons. A teacher armed with a gun would have stopped most mass murderers in schools long before they were able to get off a single shot in most instances.

Instead, in our politically-correct 'gun-free zones' we have left these areas wide open for criminals who don't give a flying flip about the law to bring in their weaponry, leaving ordinary citizens as sitting ducks.

Frankly, I am growing very impatient with these grand social designers of the Leftwing and their grossly illogical proposals for more anti-gun laws. These laws do not work, and two major studies by the CDC and the American Academy of Science prove it.

What DOES work is profiling. It is time to ditch the lame-brained politically correct approach to not identifying likely suspects for the fear of offending CAIR. The attack in Salt Lake was part of the Jihad. The young man who carried out the attack was more than likely a victim of Sudden Jihad Syndrome, which is growing rampant among Muslim young men around the world after they are exposed to the extremist rhetoric of Islamic Jihadists.

Here is a better proposal. Just as the cop in Salt Lake was allowed concealed carry, so should the citizens be afforded the very same right. In the absence of law enforcement personnel at crime scenes, the citizens need the right to defend themselves against the onslaughts of violent criminals. If anything, the Salt Lake case is an example for the need for the citizens' right to concealed carry.
