Before the 2008 elections, unlike other journalists, I had the audacity to report then Senator Barack Obama’s legislative record which foreshadowed how he would govern if elected President. At the time anyone who suggested ‘socialism’ or dared to report Obama’s dubious anti-American associations and actual record, which was rich with troubling affinities towards socialism and Marxism, were routinely mocked or dismissed. But now, unfortunately for America, we have been vindicated. On the eve of the midterm elections, once again I am urging Americans to vote. Obama’s policies are on the ticket. Which America do you choose? A free America or government-run country?

Below is repost of one of my articles that was published in October 2008 highlighting Obama’s belief for an egalitarian society I found in his introduction to his immigration legislation, the Citizenship Promotion Act. This piece of legislation among other things was a clear indicator that in Obama’s America, government workers, his dubious associations, and community organizers would prosper.

Yes he is! Obama’s 2007 Senate Floor Commitment to an `Egalitarian Society’
Senator Barack Obama is committed for America to be an “egalitarian society.” What? Obama hasn’t told Americans about that commitment on the campaign trail to the White House but it’s true. And this time Obama cannot attack Joe the plumber for exposing his socialist plans for America.

You see, Obama proclaimed his commitment to an egalitarian society; which in some circles is described as the holy grail of socialism—last year on the U.S. Senate floor when he introduced the Citizenship Promotion Act, S. 795.

Here’s what Obama told his Senate colleagues on March 7, 2007: “Let’s stop sending mixed messages. Let’s work together and set immigration fees at a level that are fair and consistent with our commitment to being an open, democratic, and egalitarian society.” (italics mine)

Obama’s “egalitarian society” commitment is a clear statement that defines his intentions for “change” if he is elected President of the United States.

Where to begin?

First, as reported here, Obama’s Citizenship Promotion Act, part of his “leading role in crafting immigration reform,” hurts America’s interests. Why? Because Obama’s bill doesn’t secure the borders or clean up the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services, a bureaucracy that protects America’s national security but is riddled by corruption including bribe-taking, as it combats a 20-year backlog of applications from immigrants following America’s laws. Instead while the global economy feels the pocketbook pain of ACORN’s role in the mortgage crisis, Obama’s Citizenship Promotion Act rewards community organizer groups like ACORN with $80 million taxpayer dollars to “organize the immigrant community” towards citizenship, via the beleaguered USCIS, to voter booths. So when Obama declares immigration fees should be set that are “fair and consistent with our commitment to being an open, democratic, and egalitarian society,” it sounded really nice, (except for the chilling misnomer: America is not an egalitarian society—at least not yet), but the reality is starkly different. Fair fees or unfair fees, the immigrants Obama seeks to “organize” cannot be processed for months if not years unless government officials are bribed or the USCIS, miraculously, is reformed. Instead of fixing the immigration crisis, Obama’s bill compounds it by providing an $80 million grant for community organizers to wreck havoc on this grossly troubled government agency.
Next, what does Obama’s open, democratic, and egalitarian commitment for America mean?

Egalitarianism is defined as “a social and political philosophy asserting the equality of all men, especially in their access to the rights and privileges of their society.” It’s a social “philosophy advocating the removal of inequalities among people.” The objective of egalitarianism advocacy is socialism.

Socialism is “a stage of society in Marxist theory transitional between capitalism and communism and distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done.” It’s founded on two tenets: Thomas Jefferson’s, “All men are created equal,” in the Declaration of Independence and Karl Marx’s “From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”

History proves that socialists offer few practical points about how these two principles can be reconciled where everyone’s quality of life is harmoniously lifted up instead of knocked down, as Fidel Castro’s Cuba, and Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela personifies. It’s been said that capitalism may be the “uneven distribution of wealth,” but “socialism” is “the even distribution of poverty.”

Some argue that socialists and egalitarians bungled the meaning of Jefferson’s “all men are created equal,” because reality gets in the way of Marx’s communist dreams of utopia. Why? Because everybody has God-given unique talents, ambitions and characteristics, and under the Declaration of Independence each individual enjoys equal liberty, and the freedom to choose how they want to live. Egalitarianism and Marxism is in direct odds with that principle because it attempts to force individuals to accept the dictates of the masses, extinguishing everybody’s unique traits to achieve equity of results. Mediocrity and oppression inevitably prevails.

There is no doubt that Obama’s “commitment to being an open, democratic, and egalitarian society” will bring a radical change to America. Believe Michelle Obama when she retells her husband’s speech when they first met about, “the world as it is, and the world as it should be.”

As President, on day one of an Obama administration, with the stroke of a pen, Obama may issue executive orders to achieve his “world as it should be” egalitarian goals. Who will rejoice? Obama’s Marxist associations, people like the self-described communist with a small ‘c’ and anarchist, the “distinguished scholar” and terrorist William Ayers, the Obama’s former pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his Back Liberation theology followers, and radical leftist groups like ACORN.

This election is not about race, it’s about freedom. Americans have a clear choice. Do they want to live in Obama’s egalitarianism idea of utopia or live in America, the land of the free and the home of the brave that the Founding Fathers intended? Vote on November 4.

Update: From across the pond, the excellent James Delingpole writes this: Only the Tea Party can save us now

Arriving back at Heathrow late on Sunday night I felt – as you do on returning to Britain these days – as if I were entering a failed state. It’s not just the Third World shabbiness which is so dispiriting. It’s the knowledge that from its surveillance cameras to its tax regime, from its (mostly) EU-inspired regulations to its whole attitude to the role of government, Britain is a country which has forgotten what it means to be free.

God how I wish I were American right now. In the US they may not have the Cairngorms, the River Wye, cream teas, University Challenge, Cotswold villages or decent curries. But they do still understand the principles of “don’t tread on me” and “live free or die.” Not all of them, obviously – otherwise a socialist like Barack Obama would never have got into power. But enough of them to understand that in the last 80 or more years – and not just in the US but throughout the Western world – government has forgotten its purpose. It has now grown so arrogant and swollen as to believe its job is to shape and improve and generally interfere with our lives. And it’s not. Government’s job is to act as our humble servant.

What’s terrifying is how few of us there are left anywhere in the supposedly free world who properly appreciate this.

Read it all.
