LEFT WING LOONS Title: How BHO Fundamentally Transformed the USA ... not in economics - government - foreign policy --- in cultural apocalypse - tyranny - aids ! Nation Jan. 12, 2017 How Barack Obama Fundamentally Transformed the United States COMMENTARY: The true Obama legacy has occurred not in economics, government, or foreign policy, but in culture. Paul Kengor We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America. So declared Barack Obama in Columbia, Missouri, on Oct. 30, 2008, on the cusp of his historic presidential election. It was a bold statement, revolutionary even, surpassed only by the response of those in attendance, who, rather than pausing to reflect upon such an audacious assertion, wildly applauded. To be sure, these Obama enthusiasts would have ecstatically cheered anything he said at that moment. There was a full-fledged personality cult in motion at that time. The new president could have promised anything and received a giddy reaction. Obama himself admitted to serving as a kind of blank screen upon which Americans desiring some warm-and-fuzzy hope and change could project whatever they wanted. But even then, the words fundamentally transform should have alarmed everyone. We Americans generally dont do fundamental transformation. We make changes, yes, small and large, but who among us other than the most radical revolutionaries actually want to fundamentally transform the nation? Many people think that America has many problems, but those can be addressed without a fundamental transformation. Ask professors who teach history or political ideologies (as I have for two decades), and we will tell you that totalitarianism is the ideology that fundamentally transforms. Indeed, the textbook definition of totalitarianism, which Ive scribbled on the chalkboard every fall and spring semester since 1997, is to seek to fundamentally transform specifically, to fundamentally transform human nature via some form of political-ideological-cultural upheaval. So, that being the case, I winced when Barack Obama said that, and then felt sick to the stomach when I watched people blissfully and blindly applaud without question or objection. But now here we are, at the end of Obamas two-term presidency, and the question begs to be pondered: Did Barack Obama fundamentally transform the United States of America, as he promised? The answer is absolutely Yes. That fundamental transformation, however, has not happened in areas where many might have hoped (or feared) in 2008. It has not been a fundamental shift in the attitudes of the vast majority regarding the role of government, taxation, regulations, economics, education or even health care, where Obama had his signature legislative achievement. It hasnt happened in foreign policy, though Obama has made a seriously detrimental impact in regions from Eastern Europe to the Middle East. The reality is that the true fundamental transformation has been in the realm of culture, notably in matters of sexual orientation, marriage and family. The shift there has been unprecedented and far beyond anyones imagination eight years ago. Looking back, I think that was where Obamas heart was, and that was where his deepest impact will be felt. Changes there, more than anywhere, seem irreversible by anything other than the miraculous, than anything short of a religious revival or dramatic shift in spiritual-moral thinking. Obamas cultural revolution on the sexual-gender-family front is all around us. We see it in the culture of fear and intimidation by the forces of diversity and tolerance who viciously seek to denounce, dehumanize, demonize and destroy anyone who disagrees with their brazen newfound conceptions of marriage and family, even as our position (not theirs) has been the prevailing position of 99.99% of human beings who have bestrode the earth since the dawn of humanity. Instead, in the Obama era, we are the ones portrayed as the outliers, as abnormal, as extremists, as haters. If you dissent from this new vociferous breed of human-nature redefiners, they sue you, they jail you, they smear you, they boycott you, they harass you, they ruin you and they do so (with no sense of their hypocrisy) in the name of tolerance and diversity. Whether youre a Baptist grandma who bakes cakes or a Catholic photographer who takes wedding photos or a Mormon florist who arranges flowers, they refuse your appeals to your conscience; they steamroll you. Changes by Obama and his allies here have constituted a major attack on religious liberty, where 200-year-old First Amendment guarantees have been torched by modern culture warriors discerning heretofore unknown higher rights like marriage equality and co-ed toilets. That is a fundamental transformation of a culture and a nation that did not exist prior to Barack Obamas ascent. The manifestations of this are so ubiquitous that laying them out here isnt necessary, but Id like to offer just a handful of brief illustrations and images: The first was the Newsweek cover from May 2012 showing Barack Obama with a rainbow halo over his head above the words, The First Gay President. This was in response to Obama coming out for same-sex marriage, which for five years he had claimed to oppose. This public shift occurred as Obama was ramping up his re-election campaign, just as Hillary Clinton would do later that year when she announced her 2016 campaign. After that announcement, Obama employed an aggressive agenda of fundamental transformation on the sexual-gender-family front, one that picked up speed, depth and arrogance throughout his second term. The second is another image, more profound than the Newsweek creation/coronation because it was real. It was from June 2015, when the Obama White House, the nations first house, was lit up in the colors of the LGBTQ rainbow on the day of the Obergefell v. Hodges decision, when a Catholic Supreme Court justice, Anthony Kennedy, led the liberal bloc of the court in redefining marriage and imposing this nonexistent constitutional right on all 50 states. If ever there was a picture of Obamas fundamental transformation of America, that was it. Third was the bathroom fiat, when, according to Obamas word, all public schools were ordered to revolutionize their restrooms and locker rooms to make them available to teenage boys who want to be called girls (among other gender novelties). It is hard to conceive a more surreal example of executive overreach. Truly, George Washington is rolling over in his grave. Fourth is an ironic moment of Obamas own doing, one that got virtually no press coverage. It occurred at a town-hall meeting in London last April, where Obama was scolded by a young man for not doing enough to recognize non-binary people such as himself. This young man wanted the British government to respect pronouns using not words like he or she, but rather hir or ze in addition to commit to gender-neutral toilets. I really, really wish that yourself and [British Prime Minister] David Cameron would take us seriously as transgender people, pushed the student. And perhaps you could elucidate as to what you can do to go beyond what has been accepted as the LGBTQ rights movement, in including people who fit outside the social norms. It was almost hilarious to observe Barack Obama, of all people, reprimanded for inadequacies in this area, which brings me to my final example. That London incident might have prompted a remarkable action by the Obama White House a few weeks later, which also got virtually no news coverage: The White House Press Office released two extraordinary fact sheets detailing Obamas vast efforts to promote LGBT rights at home and abroad. Not only was it telling that the White House would assemble such a list, and tout it, but the sheer length of the list is striking to behold. It is hard to find any similar roster of such dramatic changes by the Obama White House in any policy area. The list runs page after page. In short, what we see here is the true Barack Obama legacy, the genuine fundamental transformation. It has occurred not in economics, government, or foreign policy, but in culture. When we look back at Barack Obamas eight years, we should visualize not Obamacare or something in foreign policy, but that White House illuminated in rainbow colors on June 26, 2015, or a rainbow-haloed Obama celebrated as the first gay president. Those are the crowning images of the fundamental transformation of America that Barack Obama achieved.

Posted by Kasoy Jan, 15, 2017 Obama is an Alinsky trained community organizer. His goal was never the improvement of American life but its radical transformation as originally conceived by Saul Alinsky to make America a totally secular materialist atheist society. Its prime & foremost objective to achieve this social transformation is the destruction of the Christian churches particularly the Catholic Church, * the eradication of the Judeo-Christian morals in society. One of its principles is the promotion of RELATIVISM to divide the Church & society, promotion of the materialist policies that champions the rights of the poor, disemfranchised, & minorities, the never ending fight in behalf of the HAVE NOTs versus the HAVEs, absolute socialism, globalism, a world governed by the elites who alone know what is best for everyone, morality based on majority rule where human life will be valued based on its material contribution to society, not on its inherent God given dignity & right to life. So it is not surprising that Obama never really focused on uplifting the plight of the poor since the continued very presence of the HAVE NOTs is the key to achieve his goal of social transformation thru confrontation & division. thru ... confrontation & ... division love ps happy pss * stupid vote this these psss * how pssss Why on on on about (( white )) If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
That's what he set out to do --with economic changes as a secondary consequence. Hillary was recruited to help him.
absolute socialism, globalism, a world governed by the elites who alone know what is best for everyone To: bLazamataz In 1907, a book was published called Lord of the World. This book is about the a U.S. Senator named Julian Felsenburgh, who quickly ascends to become President of the World. Felsenburgh has unusual parallels with Obama including that they are both U.S. Senators, both charismatic speakers, and both have visited Paris for major conventions. Felsenburgh visited Paris and presided over a peace treaty as Europe spiraled into chaos. There was rioting in the streets, people dying, and protests, yet Felsenburgh quells all of it with his promise of peace. Last year, a major convention was organized surrounding the hoax known as climate change. This was nothing more than a reorganization of the world toward a new order. It was not about the climate. Now, Obama appears to be pulling the strings behind a push for peace among Israel and Palestine. Firstly, he instructed Samantha Power at the U.N. to abstain from a vote condemning Israel for building settlements. Secondly, he orchestrates a Paris convention involving 70 countries gathering together to discuss peace in the Holy Land and a two-state solution. The catch is that neither Israel nor Palestine will be at the meeting. They will be completely removed from direct conversation with the 70 countries. Perhaps a two-state solution will be accomplished without Israel of Palestine present. The move to have a major convention about solving one of the worlds greatest land conflicts just five days before a president leaves office is unprecedented. Why Obama would decide to do such a thing is not known. Nonetheless, he will send Kerry, likely Samantha Power, and an entire American delegation to Paris. Julian Felsenburgh also did the same thing when he signed a peace treaty. In the novel, Lord of the World, we also meet another character named Father Francis, a Roman Catholic who leaves the church and joins Felsenburghs new world religion. This religion is a combination of mother goddess worship and Freemasonry. Felsenburgh is, himself, a 33 year old Freemason who hates organized religion, especially Christianity. After he takes power, he orders Christians to be killed if they do not renounce their faith. We should be questioning if a 1907 prophecy is coming to life right now. Several people, including a former pontiff, have suggested that Lord of the World is a prophecy in the form of a narrative. Pope Benedict 16 called the novel prophetic, while Pope Francis encouraged people two read it. He stated that the book portrayed the transition of the world toward the globalization of hegemonic uniformity. He neglects to tell the audience that this uniformity is achieved through ... great violence - death - destruction --- carried out by the Antichrist, Julian Felsenburgh. 13 posted on 1/16/2017 6:45:45 AM by evets (beer) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3514518/posts#13 If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing !

Funny GIF. Wish it had a bolt of lightening come thru the window and " light him up ". Cannot wait for that narcissist SOB to be gone. When he is no longer the center of attention, he will melt down.
Si vis pacem, para bellum Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."Theodore Roosevelt-1907. I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
