Obama's "Kenyan Worldview" - WoodlandsOwl - 09-13-2010 08:50 AM
Gingrich ‘Slammed’ for Saying Obama May Hold ‘Kenyan’ Worldview
By Scott Baker
A few days ago I posted links to Dinesh D‘Souza’s article in Forbes about Obama’s mind. It’s simple title, “How Obama Thinks,” says a great deal about the ambitions of the article.
D‘Souza explores many facets that may affect Obama’s view of the world. But his focus on the convictions of Obama’s father are the centerpiece. Obama’s father once wrote a passionate piece called “Problems Facing our Socialism:”
The senior Obama proposed that the state confiscate private land and raise taxes with no upper limit. In fact, he insisted that “theoretically there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed.”
D’Souza explored the anticolonial thinking behind the piece and the posited this:
Remarkably, President Obama, who knows his father’s history very well, has never mentioned his father’s article. Even more remarkably, there has been virtually no reporting on a document that seems directly relevant to what the junior Obama is doing in the White House.
This struck me as wildly relevant. Thus my post. It turns out that former House speaker Newt Gingrich also found the post to be particularly important. He described it this way to National Review‘s intrepid Robert Costa:
Gingrich says that D’Souza has made a “stunning insight” into Obama’s behavior — the “most profound insight I have read in the last six years about Barack Obama.”
“What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]?” Gingrich asks. “That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior.”
This is a person who is fundamentally out of touch with how the world works, who happened to have played a wonderful con, as a result of which he is now President,” Gingrich tells us.
“I think he worked very hard at being a person who is normal, reasonable, moderate, bipartisan, transparent, accommodating — none of which was true,” Gingrich continues. “In the Alinksy tradition, he was being the person he needed to be in order to achieve the position he needed to achieve . . . He was authentically dishonest.”

I find this insulting. Many people identified, and commented on, this subject years ago. However, it was labeled "fringe." So how does Newt suddenly come on board and claim this is new? Why is this suddenly "legitimate"?
This is more of the "ruling class" exercising their will and control. Dem or GOP, right or left, I don't like it. Lots of people don't.

Barack Obama Sr. WAS a Communist, pure and simple. He was a big supporter of Oginga Odinga, the Kenyan Communist Revolutionary.
It really makes sense, especially in the light and contempt our "President Teleprompter" holds the UK.
Read "Dreams from my Father" and it all makes sense.

All "Whitey", "Crackers" are a "racist", "bigot", "birther" or "tea bagger" these days. It's Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. Newt points to it. If it's offensive, fight against it.
Quote:This was enough for Gingrich to be tagged as “fueling the myth mongering that Barack Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen.”

Of course it makes sense. My point is that it didn't suddenly start making sense since D'Souza's Forbes article. It made sense years ago when people were pointing it out.
What I'm upset about is that now this idea has a stamp of approval, whereas before it was relegated to a few "fringe" believers.
