Barak Hussein Muhammad Obama's Red Roots

The word is that Barak Obama is a mainstream
politician who sometimes attracts fringe leftists. The
record tells a different story ‹ that he has sought out
radicals. What does that say of his agenda?
It's natural to be skeptical of excessive claims about
Obama's radical associations. After all, there are so
many. But one bears attention ‹ because it helped him
get his start in politics. In 1996, he won an Illinois state
senate seat on a "fusion" ticket of the Democratic Party
and leftist group called the "New Party."
The New Party, founded in 1992 with 7,000 members
at its peak, had been an explicitly anti-capitalist party
of ex-Communists, socialists and activists from
ACORN, the hard-left group that's constantly in trouble
over voter fraud. The New Party didn't ask for Obama's
association; he asked for the New Party's endorsement.
Blogger Rick Moran of the American Thinker has
found disturbing particulars. First, the New Party didn't
give its sup****t and campaign volunteers to just anyone.
Obama actually had to audition for it. According to a
September-October 1995 update on the New Party-
aligned Chicago Democratic Socialists of America Web
site:
"About 50 activists attended the Chicago New Party
member****p meeting in July. The purpose of the
meeting was to . . . to hear appeals for NP sup****t from
four potential political candidates."
Anyone wanting a New Party endorsement had to "be
approved via a NP political committee. Once approved,
candidates must sign a contract with the NP. The
contract mandates that they must have a visible and
active relation****p with the NP," the Web site said.
So Obama signed on with this group and now remains
in its debt.
That raises questions about what was in the New Party
platform that drew in Obama. Maybe its own statements
saying it was formed "to break the stranglehold that
cor****ate money and cor****ate media have over the
political process."
Sound familiar? One of the few things Obama reveals in
his vague "change" agenda are plans to punish
cor****ations. He rails against "cor****ate profits" and
even worked in a condemnation of them in his first
defense of Rev. Jeremiah Wright. So there's little doubt
he shares a lot of what the New Party believes.
The New Party also has advocated a bill of rights for
children, a shorter work week, a universal "social"
wage and military spending cuts. These will undermine
parental rights, lower competitiveness, lard up welfare
and make the U.S. less secure. All are echoed in
Obama's proposals. They are the hardest battle cries of
the left.
Obama should come clean on why he sought these
radicals' sup****t and, better still, disclose just how he
intends to pay them back.

Political correctness is destroying Europe.
America will be the next down the PC tube
greased by academic idiots like Scott Erb,
Noam Chumpsky, Ward Churchill, and
Slick Willy & Hilly, Algore & Pelosi, too and
