Perhaps the time has come, long before the 2012 elections, that we take a hard look at our president. It would be unfair to label anyone without first taking a look at their actions, not just their words.
Consider this:
On the afternoon of Feb. 15, President Barack Obama bestowed the highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, on John J. Sweeney. Sweeney served as president of the AFL-CIO from 1995 to 2009. He is also a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and repealed the union’s longstanding rule banning Communists from meaningfully participating in the union.
Sweeney became a founder of the AFL-CIO’s Committee for Change, which took the nation’s largest coalition of labor unions in a more radical direction. This should come as no surprise to those of us who have been following the events in Wisconsin.
Obama has made clear the kind of person he believes is worthy of the nation’s highest non-military award: a socialist and fellow-traveler who dedicated his life to radicalizing the labor movement and promoting Barack Obama’s career.
Another handpicked Obama appointee is Mark Lloyd the FCC diversity czar. Lloyd cites author and radical organizer Saul Alinsky as a source of inspiration, and has praised Venezuela President Hugo Chavez for his “incredible” attainment of a “democratic revolution.” With Obama’s attempt to take over the internet on the pretense of internet security, we could find ourselves as many in Cairo recently did, with the shut down of their entire Internet network.
The list of Obama appointees is riddled with characters whose political agenda is rife with the threads of Socialism weaved into them. Some are still in power, others have left such as Van Jones, an avowed communist. You might ask why he was there in the first place, but in your heart you know the answer. Our great country is being systematically taken over by a president with a socialist agenda. Don’t listen to his words, watch what he does; our grandchildren are counting on us. Let’s not let them down.
