Obama And The Politics Of Change
02/12/2008 6:52pm
Obama is billing himself as the agent of change. OK, I can go for that. There is a lot that is broken in Washington DC. That appeals to any Liberal or Conservative. All we are fighting over is what KIND of change we need to make DC work again.
If you've read books like Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning" or "The New Thought Police" by Tammy Bruce, (both available in the Library here) you probably won't find this tidbit (below) surprising. I've known for quite some time where the American left wants to head. But they have always been a bit secretive about their true intent, unwilling to speak in clear, plain terms their vision of America. Looks like not any more. Below you see a screen grab of the newly minted Texas office of the Barrack Obama campaign (week of 02/11/08). Take a peek at the image on the left. This Houston news video [Go To The Video] of that opening clearly showing a Cuban flag hanging on the wall with the image of one of the most ruthless commies of the middle 20th century. The darling martyr of Democrat leftists everywhere. Che Guevara [Link]. Make no mistake who this office supports, Che and Obama (Obama poster in right image).

Sure, you see Che's image at every WTO protest, immigration march or BDS meeting (Bush Derangement Syndrome) but I expect this sort of thing, when attached to a national candidate, to be kept quiet and only mentioned to the converted in guarded minutes. This brazen exhibition worries me. Where exactly is Obama coming from and where does he want to take us? And after seeing this and listening to his stance on issues, I'm not sure I want to go to where his "change" is going to take us.
Now the wait is to see when Obama denounces this. Or if he does.
UPDATE 02/22/08 10:35 am: Seems that Obama has responded to this little display of radical leftism in his campaign office . . .
. . . it's a volunteer office that is independently run, so he has no control over what goes on there.
I'd think that the guy would be a little more concerned when they display images of a mass murdering communist like Che. And that isn't the only office displaying Che and the communist Cuban flag in Texas. Here is another:

At some point a person has to wonder what policies does Obama support that lights up the communists? I wonder if he would be as tolerant if his offices where displaying pictures of Rush Limbaugh. If the politics of change are turning America into a communist paradise of the Cuban/Che model, count me out.
Naturally, in this Internet speed world we have . . . the new Obama logo [Link].
