Actually, Obama said, in so many words, "I am not a socialist!" in a delayed-reaction response to a question from a New York Times reporter. That is to say, his initial answer was a very pithy "no," but then he felt compelled to call the interviewer back and give the scribe a piece of his mind (how much, we don't know. But rumor has it that it was sufficient to lower Obama from socialist to communist status). And here is what he said:

Men have long understood the
special connection between words and the transcendent. Historians like John
Lukacs have noted that virtually all of our reality is words. Novelists like
George Orwell saw only too well how the mutilation of words by monsters could
send reality into a hopeless downward spiral.

“Rule one: Never allow a crisis to go to waste,” said Barack Obama’s
chief-of-staff, Rahm Emanuel, late last year. Mindful of this advice,
the left is using our current economic woes to resurrect socialism’s
star – and, by extension, communism’s (Marx identified socialism as a
transitional stage to communism) – by bemoaning the supposed pitfalls
of “capitalism.”
Unfortunately, scared people often glom onto statism’s simplistic message. A little while back I wrote
about communism’s newfound appeal with a younger generation which,
divorced from history, can easily repeat mistakes of the past.

The decision by Senator Gregg not to become Commerce Secretary is
the first round in a vital battle over reapportionment and redistricting. Title 13 Section 2 provides “The
Bureau [of the Census] is an agency within, and under the jurisdiction of, the
Department of Commerce.”President
Obama and his Chief of Staff lack the legal authority to move the Bureau of the
Census under the direct control of the White House, and an indirect effort to do
that – – exactly what the Obama Administration has said that it intends to do –
– is a contravention of federal law. Article I Section 2 of the Constitution makes it clear that Congress, not
the President, has the constitutional authority to define the census
process. If President Obama tries
to politically manage the census process, he is not only violating federal law
but he is also violating the Constitution.
Alan Keyes: Stop Obama or U.S. Will Cease to Exist
http://youtube.com/v/u6p3l8BXmhs
Here is Alan Keyes, eloquently speaking the truth about Barack Obama (PBUH). If people wanted a black president, Keyes was the man to choose. And, by the way, in his case it wouldn’t have been an example of cultural affirmative action, since he was the best man running, black or white.
As for Obama (PBUH), is he even a black president? I mean, is he really a president, given that he may not be a natural-born citizen? Is he really black? Isn’t he also white? Actually, it doesn’t really matter. What is he? The first red president.
A Heroic Congressman Chastises Bailout Czar Neel Kashkari
http://youtube.com/v/UP73cK3GXdo
We tend to look down on politicians, and usually rightly so. But there are some white nights in government's halls, and Congressman Don Manzullo seems to be one of them. Here he is confronted with an automaton named Neel Kashkari, Interim Assistant Secretary for Financial Stability.
Manzullo is upset because getting Kashkari to admit that a $3 million-dollar bonus for an AIG executive is excessive is like pulling teeth. And listen to how Kashkari addresses the matter; he does so without passion, rendering a policy-wonk answer.
This is the problem with government.
How is this fool qualified to oversee our tax dollars if he barely bats an eye at an abomination? Thus, I'll go even further than Manzullo and say to Kashkari: Sir, if you would look at an injustice and discuss it dispassionately, if outrageous doesn't outrage you, there's something wrong with you. You are saddled with a profound moral defect and thus are not only unfit for your job, you're unfit for any job. Your parents obviously didn't raise you correctly.
We need to get the Mandarins out of government.
Savage Nation: Selwyn Duke on Sex Ed
http://youtube.com/v/xoT2JD8V6iw
This is a presentation on sex education that I gave on the Savage Nation radio show about a month ago. Shortly afterward, someone put it on YouTube.
The reason why I’m putting it on my site only now concerns a current assignment I have. I accepted a commission to write an article on a new Alfred Kinsey documentary, a work that deals with how his fraudulent studies imbue sex education to this day. And this reminded me of what an important subject this is.
By the way, give Michael Savage tremendous credit for airing such a traditionalist perspective. What other talk-show host would devote part of his program to an exposition of something so contrary to our libertine spirit of the age?
Thank you, Michael — and I truly mean that.
