Supermodel Elle Macpherson Loves Obama: ‘I’m Socialist – What Do You Expect?’

March 19, 2012 06:05


In another example of people recognizing that Obama is a socialist / Marxist, admitted socialist supermodel tells shock jock Howard Stern she’s pulling for Barack Obama to be reelected. She admits she lives in London and is a socialist and implies that you would expect a socialist to be for Obama. She’s right. Obama is a socialist / Marxist.

We have been warning about Obama’s tyrannical socialist agenda for two years. Obama taught Saul Alinsky as a community organizer.

 

Obama is a socialist. Merriam-Webster defines socialism as “any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or government ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.” A socialist is “one who advocates or practices socialism.

Accuracy in Media was one of the earliest to recognize and expose the socialist/Marxist early connections of Obama with posts like Conservatives Behind the Curve on ObamaThe Marxist Roots of Obama’s Rage, Part One , The Marxist Roots of Obama’s Rage, Part Two , and Exposing Un-American Activities.

A Townhall.com article by Terry Jeffrey the Editor-in-chief of CNSNews.com cries ‘Hannity’s Right: Obama Is a Socialist‘. Mr. Jeffrey points out that Hannity has been claiming that Obama is a socialist for some time.:

Obama, for example, practiced socialism with General Motors.

Last year, he directed the government to take 60 percent ownership of GM. Congress had not enacted legislation authorizing him to do this. He simply took money out of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, which had been appropriated to buy assets from financial institutions (not manufacturers), and bought the federal government an auto company.

Obama’s greatest socialist act so far, however, is the national health care system he signed into law last month.

Recent books expose like Stanley Kurtz Radical-in-Chief research the socialist past of Obam. Another book, Dupes by Paul Kengor, makes use of Obama’s communist mentor, Communist Party USA member Frank Marshall Davis which was first exposed by New Zeal blogger Trevor Loudon.

Even the mainstream Forbes ran an article proclaiming Obama as a Fabian Socialist as early as the day before the 2008 election. Considering what has happened in the two years since this was written it is amazingly prophetic:

Fabians believed in gradual nationalization of the economy through manipulation of the democratic process. Breaking away from the violent revolutionary socialists of their day, they thought that the only real way to effect “fundamental change” and “social justice” was through a mass movement of the working classes presided over by intellectual and cultural elites. Before TV it was stage plays, written by George Bernard Shaw and thousands of inferior “realist” playwrights dedicated to social change.

That’s the Fabian MO, relentless cultural and journalistic attacks on everything that is, and then a hard pitch for the hope of what might be.

That’s Obama’s world.

He’s telling the truth when he says that he doesn’t agree with Bill Ayers’ violent bombing tactics, but it’s a tactical disagreement. Why use dynamite when mass media and community organizing work so much better?

So here is the playbook: The left will identify, freeze, personalize and polarize an industry, probably health care. It will attempt to nationalize one-fifth of the U.S. economy through legislative action. They will focus, as Lenin did, on the “commanding heights” of the economy, not the little guy.

It may not be health care first; it might be energy, though I suspect that energy will be nationalized much more gradually. The offshore drilling ban that was allowed to lapse legislatively will be reinstated through executive means. It may be an executive order, but might just as well be a permit reviewing system that theoretically allows drilling but with endless levels of objection and appeal from anti-growth groups. Wind and solar, on the other hand, will have no permitting problems at all, and a heavy taxpayer subsidy at their backs.

And now the popular American Thinker site ran an article by Dupes author Paul Kengor relating the interview with Obama’s fellow Marxist from his days at’Moscow of southern California’ Occidental College:

Kengor: You said that Obama was introduced to you at Occidental College as a Marxist? Because you were one [a Marxist] at that point?

 

Drew: Yeah, that’s embarrassing for me, but I studied Marxist economics when I was at the University of Sussex in England. I had a junior-year scholarship over there and I did my senior honors thesis on Marxist economics when I was at Occidental College. And I also founded [the] Democratic Student Socialist Alliance, you know, under a different name, in 1976.

 

Kengor: John, now you had told me before, and I’m reading from my own book here, “Obama was already an ardent Marxist when I met him in the fall of 1980. [Quotation from above continued.]“

 

Drew: Yeah, that’s exactly right. Obama believed, at the time I met him — this was probably around Christmastime in 1980 — because, you know, I had flown out during Christmas break from Cornell, where I was doing my graduate work. Young Obama was looking forward to an imminent social revolution — literally a movement where the working classes would overthrow the ruling class and institute a kind of socialist utopia in the United States. I mean, that’s how extreme his views were his sophomore year of college.

 

Kengor: And you would know this because you were a comrade, so to speak.

 

Drew: Yeah, I was a comrade, but I was kind of more what Michael Savage called the “Frankfurt School” of Marxism at the time. I was, you know, I felt like I was doing Obama a favor by pointing out that the Marxist revolution that he and [our friends] were hoping for was really kind of a pipe dream, and that there was nothing in European history or the history of developed nations that would make that sort of fantasy — you know, Frank Marshall Davis fantasy of revolution — come true.

And there was the slip up Obama had with Joe the plumber during the election where he revealed his true philosophy of ’spread the wealth around’. And he is doing plenty of that. Every major bill Obama supports is a transfer of wealth. They either take directly from those who have money and give it to others or he uses deficit spending to force future generations to pay it. As Alan Greenspan said “Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth.”

Obama and his Socialist Democrats know this. Yet Mitt Romney still refuses to call Obama a socialist. Is he afraid he will hurt Obama’s feelings? Is he afraid he will be called a racist? Or is it that since Romney is a Progressive and a progressive is essentially a socialist that Romney just doesn’t know the difference?

Rick Perry has called Obama a socialist. Gingrich has called his policies socialist. Bachmann has said Obama “has ushered in socialism.” Is Romney clueless or afraid to fight?

We have a president who promised a plan that would ‘skyrocket’ electricity rates, and uses the  EPA that bases its illegal and tyrannical power grab on fraudulent data and suppressed any dissent to push his agenda, and an administration that is collectively working to ruin the oil, steel, coal, and cement industries. An administration that ignores the will of the people and its congress and seems to be doing all it can to destroy jobs and the economy while promising to make jobs and economic growth its first priority.

Just look at the ideologues Obama chooses as his advisers.  His cabinets are pushing “environmental justice” as a scheme for redistributing wealth. His energy secretary Steven Chu is on the record as having said we need higher gas prices like those in Europe. Obama warned us during his 2008 campaign that “under my plan electricity rates will necessarily have to skyrocket.” Obama hired an anti-commerce commerce secretary in John Bryson.

Obama also picked a “spread the wealth” progressive lawyer for his top economist.

Saying “We haven’t heard this kind of talk except from pure socialists” Wynn Resorts CEO Steve Wynn railed against Obama’s redistributionist anti-business policies. Wynn, a Democrat,  says:

“But I’m afraid to do anything in the current political environment in the United States. I’m saying it bluntly, that this administration is the greatest wet blanket to business and progress and job creation in my lifetime. Well this is Obama’s deal, and it’s Obama that’s responsible for this fear in America. The guy keeps making speeches about redistribution, and maybe we ought to do something to businesses that don’t invest or holding too much money. We haven’t heard this kind of talk except from pure socialists”

Speaking of businessmen, Charles Gasparino a senior correspondent for Fox business Network had this exchange with John Stossel:

“If you talk to some of these guys, you talk to Jamie Diamond the CEO of JP Morgan Chase, big Obama supporter, he said listen I voted for Obama because yes I wanted change. I wanted to help people. I didn’t want to create new entitlements you know, I didn’t want to sort of redistribute wealth.

This is what they really thought. They thought he was a moderate.

You know what I said to these guys? I said have you ever heard of Jeremiah Wright? I mean Jeremiah Wright, his racist rhetoric, its there, but he’s also a Marxist. He teaches liberation theology. How can you vote for a man who considers, and you’re a businessman, considers a Marxist to be his spiritual mentor?”

Bernie Marcus Home Depot co-founder told Neil Cavuto that we will never be able to pay off this debt and that if we continue these policies we will be ‘dead in the water’. ‘I don’t know what he’s smoking’ he said of VP Biden’s stimulus propaganda. He said Obama administration doesn’t “have a clue” on small business.

This is collectivism also known as Marxism. All income belongs to the group, the collective to be redistributed as the government determines what is “fair.” This was Obama’s purpose in spending so much. His argument now is that we must tax (take more) to pay for the spending he has done.

Obama has surrounded himself with Socialists, Marxists and Communists. Yes it sounds extreme but consider:

Anita Dunn former White House interim communications director and chief Fox-basher who praised communist China’s revolutionary murderer Mao as one of her two favorite political philosophers. Or Bill Ayers early Obama friend, political supporter and unrepentant domestic terrorist who coauthored the Weather Underground Manifesto. Author Stanley Kurtz exposed the influence of Bill Ayers in the political development of Barack Obama.

White House Christmas Tree

And can we really believe that Obama was unaware of the Mao ornament on the White House Christmas tree?

His appointments reflect his socialist Marxist ideology. His science czar, Holdren, and his recent appointment to Medicare & Medicaid, Berwick have both espoused beliefs in the ’spread the wealth’ philosophy which is Marxism. Marxism is inherently anti-business.

Obama’s pick for his top economic advisory position, Gene Sperling, is a ’spread the wealth’ attorney with little real economic experience. Sperling wrote “Those who create great wealth do so on the backs and shoulders of previous generations of taxpayers…” and “The notion that ‘you earned it’ is more correctly, ‘you earned it with the indispensable help of the government.’”

Sperling is also a former Fellow at The Center for American Progress which is a George Soros funded left wing think tank that includes radical communists like Van Jones a former Obama White House staffer.

Among Obama’s leading advisers were the head of Center for American Progress John Podesta and at least ten additional CAP experts. Bloomberg wrote about it as the Soros-Funded Democratic Idea Factory Becomes Obama Policy Font.

The plain and simple truth is that Obama is a Marxist. He told us in the campaign that he wanted to ’spread the wealth around’. He sat at the feet of avowed Marxist Jeremiah Wright for 20 years and claimed him as a mentor. He had a self proclaimed communist revolutionary on his White House staff as a ‘Green Jobs’ czar in Van Jones. In his own book Obama states that he sought out ‘The Marxist Professors’ in college and points out that he ‘went to socialist conferences’.

Even the mainstream Forbes ran an article proclaiming Obama as a Fabian Socialist as early as the day before the 2008 election. Considering what has happened in the two years since this was written it is amazingly prophetic:

Fabians believed in gradual nationalization of the economy through manipulation of the democratic process. Breaking away from the violent revolutionary socialists of their day, they thought that the only real way to effect “fundamental change” and “social justice” was through a mass movement of the working classes presided over by intellectual and cultural elites. Before TV it was stage plays, written by George Bernard Shaw and thousands of inferior “realist” playwrights dedicated to social change.

That’s the Fabian MO, relentless cultural and journalistic attacks on everything that is, and then a hard pitch for the hope of what might be.

That’s Obama’s world.

He’s telling the truth when he says that he doesn’t agree with Bill Ayers’ violent bombing tactics, but it’s a tactical disagreement. Why use dynamite when mass media and community organizing work so much better?

So here is the playbook: The left will identify, freeze, personalize and polarize an industry, probably health care. It will attempt to nationalize one-fifth of the U.S. economy through legislative action. They will focus, as Lenin did, on the “commanding heights” of the economy, not the little guy.

The offshore drilling ban that was allowed to lapse legislatively will be reinstated through executive means. It may be an executive order, but might just as well be a permit reviewing system that theoretically allows drilling but with endless levels of objection and appeal from anti-growth groups. Wind and solar, on the other hand, will have no permitting problems at all, and a heavy taxpayer subsidy at their backs.

Alan Greenspan explains the Obama anti-business game plane in his prescient 1966 article  “Gold and Economic Freedom“:

“Stripped of its academic jargon, the welfare state is nothing more than a mechanism by which governments confiscate the wealth of the productive members of a society to support a wide variety of welfare schemes. A substantial part of the confiscation is effected by taxation. But the welfare statists were quick to recognize that if they wished to retain political power, the amount of taxation had to be limited and they had to resort to programs of massive deficit spending, i.e., they had to borrow money, by issuing government bonds, to finance welfare expenditures on a large scale.

Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth.”

How could any reasonable person think that Obama cares anything about business? To Obama and his leftover sixties hippie advisers who have spent their entire lives either in the shelter of government or in quasi governmental academia, business is evil and the manifestation of all that is wrong with capitalism.

More recently we have Obama explaining his socialist vision in saying the government should determine how much money you should be “allowed” to keep.

Obama’s idea of taxation is ideological not revenue. In his campaign he noted that he wanted to raise capital gains tax to be “fair” even if it meant LESS tax revenue.

This is why a recent focus group by Frank Lutz showed that more people are realizing Obama really is a socialist. Consider these quotes from political leaders;

Rep. Allen West: “I’m Sick & Tired of This Marxist Demagogic Rhetoric of the President”

Rep. Allen West rips Obama again – “low level socialist agitator”

Obama “is anti-business…it’s starting to look Marxist to me,” – National Black Chamber of Commerce founder

Rep. Bachmann says Obama ‘has ushered in socialism’

“I can’t believe what he says anymore” – Jim DeMint on Obama – “pure socialism”

Hopefully mainstream America is waking up to the fact that Obama is far out of the mainstream. Far left.

Are we going to believe what they SAY or what they DO?
