Back to Basics

I have been thinking that if Obama had a son, he would tell him to pretend to be born in Kenya too.

All in all, it is really strange to read the dysfunctional liberal group think in the mainstream media when it comes to the news that Obama’s book agent promoted him by saying he was born in Kenya. It is unthinkable that this copy was not run by Obama for approval. That’s not how that book agent business works.

We know, as a matter of fact, that liberals like Elizabeth Warren lie about their ethnic status to get ahead in the world of academic affirmative action. It is not surprising that Obama did the same by touting his supposed Kenyan birthplace. This latest story is a great confirmation about a long-standing pattern in Obama’s life – lying about his past.

For the record, Obama lied about the closeness of his relationship with Bill Ayers. He lied about listening to Rev. Wright’s extremist, anti-white hate speech. Obama lied about his political views at Occidental College hiding the fact that he was an out and out Marxist-Leninist when I met him in 1980. Obama lied in Dreams about seeing an article about a black man who had bleached his own skin. Obama lied in Dreams about his “composite” girlfriend, Geneveive Cook. He lied about her background, her ties to Indonesia, her Austrailian heritage – even the color of her eyes. Obama lied about Cook breaking into tears because she could never be black.

Obama is a serial liar. He hid his intense relationship with convicted felon Anthony Rezko until FBI surveliance revealed the full extent of this relationshiip. Obama does not have the integrity needed to succeed as president. Those who justify his lying about his Kenyan birth are defending a man who is not worthy of their time and attention.

Dr. Drew speaks on young Obama’s radical ideology at SOC912 meeting.

Here’s my May voters guide. I took most of my picks from the folks at Atlas Pac here in Orange County, CA. I want to ask you to please vote for me. I’m running for the Republican Central Committee in Orange County, CA. I’m on a slate with other constitutional conservatives whose names I’m including below.

All in all, I think Orly Taitz is a good choice for the U.S. Senate because she will take the fight to Obama and help build a stronger anti-Marxist anti-socialist Republican party. I like John Webb over John Campbell because of Campbell’s votes in favor of TARP and against DADT. Locally, I’m going with Deb Pauley over Todd Spitzer because I think Spitzer was too soft on public employee unions last time he was an OC Supervisor.

Regarding the folks running for the Orange County Republican Central Committee, I’m supporting my slate mates and my friend Mike Munzing.

I’m also lending my support to all the brave folks who denied Rep. Campbell the endorsement of the O.C. Republican Central Committee as well as a few of the folk who have been helpful and encouraging of Tea Party philosophy. In the new top two voting system in CA, I think the recommendations of the Orange County Republican Central Committee will have greater importance. I’m confident the folks I’m recommending will be brave defenders against moderate Republicans.

As a student of charismatic leadership, I’m usually skeptical about the so-called “prodigies” so admired by the leftwing media outlets like the New York Times.  Consequently, I like to think that I was the political scientist who first got under Nate Silver’s skin in terms of pulling apart his arrogant predictions of electoral results based on last minute polling data.  I suggested that it really wasn’t very interesting to predict elections results from polling data since all we were doing was assuming that the voters would not do much to change their minds between now and the upcoming election. Silver, by the way, rose to fame as a predictor of baseball outcomes.

Nevertheless, young guys like Nate Silver and Ezra Klein have been elevated by the liberal media because of their style of writing has a sort of pseudo-science quality about it which – I suppose – is the only plausible justification for having a young white guy writing for a liberal, extremist entity.  When you look into their credentials, for example, there is not to much to be impressed by their records.  Klien only earned a B.A. in political science at University of California – Irvine.  In 2000, Silver graduated with Honors with an A.B. degree in economics from the University of Chicago. Only in the crazy world of leftwing journalism is either one considered an expert.

As far as I’m concerned both of them are still undergraduates when it comes to understanding politics, economics or sociology.  As such, I enjoy poking holes in their pretentious, arrogant takes on contemporary politics.  As a political scientist and an eyewitness to young Obama’s ideological extremism, I’m particularly irritated that folks like Silver and Klein do not seem to appreciate what is obvious to most of us: Obama’s extraordinary ties to radical Marxist socialist thought.

As part of my larger effort to bring these “prodigies” to Earth, I left a comment for Silver months ago that pointed out that political scientists could predict presidential elections far in advance simply by looking at variables like the economy or the success or failure of a war.  In reaction to my critique, Silver has launched a full scale attack against the very idea of political science and the usefulness of making predictions far in advance.  In one of his most recent articles, for example, the title of his article makes the absurd claim that political scient models based on ‘fundamentals’ have “failed” at predicting presidential elections.  This headline, of course, is absurd when you consider, as John Sides writes:

Of the 58 separate predictions that Nate tabulates, 85 percent of them correctly identified the winner — even though most forecasts were made two months or more before the election and even though few of these forecasts actually incorporated trial heat polls from the campaign.

Sides, by the way, is a political scientist who uses these forecasting models himself and sees them as ways of testing overall theory. The larger issue, for me, is that Silver’s comments reflect the odd anti-intellectual bias of the left-wing media.  As far as I can tell, the most interesting, powerful and predictive work in political science is coming from conservatives like the late James Q.

As you may know, my take on young Obama’s ideological extremism has appeared in at least four books including Stanley Kurtz’s meticulously researched Radical-In-Chief: Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism.

I can report, as an eye witness to young Obama’s ideological extremism, that Stanley Kurtz got my part of the narrative exactly right. Kurtz points out, on pages 9-10, that my take on Obama’s Marxist socialist ideology was published in February 2010. Later, my perspective was validated by a liberal author, David Remnick, who reported that Obama and many of his closest friends at Occidental College were socialists.

I have read almost all the other early Obama literature as part of my effort to better understand how Obama fooled so many people into thinking he was always a pragmatic centrist. Kurtz’s account is the most detailed and supported work on young Obama to date. I don’t think liberals really appreciate the quality of Kurtz’s account or Obama’s extraordinarily deep dishonesty regarding his past.

Nevertheless, there is still very little media attention focused on Obama’s long-standing ties to ideological extremists.  To remedy this, my good friend Mike Munzing videotaped my recent speech to the South Orange County 9-12 Group.  There are four videos in total.  I’m expecting that they will be useful to opposition researchers seeking to understand the reality of Obama’s Marxist socialist roots.

I just witnessed a remarkable political event.  This evening, the Orange County Republican Central Committee (OCGOP) denied its endorsement of a Republican incumbent, Rep. John Campbell.  To win the local GOP endorsement Campbell needed a 2/3 majority of the elected central committee members.  His effort fell short by just one vote.

The evening began with roll call, recognition for elected officials and extraordinary volunteers.  Out of all the endorsements given out this evening, Campbell was the only incumbent facing a challenger – Republican candidate John Webb.

As you may know, John Webb is new to politics.  He served in the United States Marine Corps and has been a California highway patrolman, and a police officer. In the private sector, John was a corporate executive with State Farm Insurance Company and currently owns and operates a successful insurance brokerage.  Locally, John has become a favorite among Tea Party activists.  I was honored, for example, when he asked me to be the keynote speaker at his upcoming fundraising event this Thursday evening.

Rep. Campbell spoke first.  He stressed his role in warning about California’s budget crisis and the significant role he played nationally in fighting against earmarks.  Campbell looked nervous and a little hyper-active with his edgy, scruffy beard.  Next, John Webb spoke.  Webb came across as calm, friendly, self-deprecating in his humility and honesty.  It quickly became obvious, however, that the most vocal members of the crowd were rooting for Webb to stop Campbell’s effort to win the endorsement of the local Republican party.

Webb, in particular, contrasted his views with Campbells saying that he would have voted against TARP and against allowing gays to serve openly in the military.  Graciously, Webb said that he did not want to attack Campbell.  He merely said that he offered a different “skill set” that was more appropriate to the new conditions faced by the Republican party and warned that voters would lose faith in the Republicans if we did not offer candidates who held tightly to strong conservative ideology.

In the end, the OCGOP appeared divided over endorsing Campbell.  A number of speakers, for example, expressed unhappiness that Rep. Cambell had not spent more time in the district and had only conducted one townhall event.  Campbell sort of made things worse by suggesting that since he had more time to focus on issues as a member of Congress that he was the recipient of better and higher quality information than those in the audience who doubted the wisdom of his decisions.

(I sort of took it as a personal attack when Campbell suggested that Webb was “pandering” to people in the district.  I really don’t think that Webb’s welcoming of my message was anything but a straightforward recognition that I’m telling the truth about young Obama’s radical extremist ideology.  I don’t see Webb pandering to me or to all the others who see Obama as a significant threat to the fundamental tenets of American culture and traditional economic success.)

In the end, OCGOP Chairman Scott Baugh asked the elected central committee members stand to record their votes and Campbell fell short of securing the endorsement.  Campbell got 41 votes for his endorsement, but needed 42 of the 63 total votes cast.  I have no doubt this will be big news around the nation tomorrow and that it will send a signal that plenty of people back home in Orange County are unhappy with Rep.

I just got some amazing news this evening.  Apparently, Andrew Breitbart has video of young Obama in action which will document Obama’s commitment to class conflict and racial division.  I’m expecting that these videos will provide further confirmation of what I’ve been saying since 2008 – that young Obama was a committed Marxist socialist looking forward to a socialist future.

Up until now, I have enjoyed the fact that my take on young Obama’s ideological extremism was supported by the newest developments in the Obama literature – especially by Stanley Kurtz’s book, Radical-In-Chief.  I’ve always known that if I had pictures of me with young Obama, video, or audio tape of him discussing Marxist ideology that there would have been greater interest in my story in 2008.

Laguna Hills, CA – John Webb’s campaign for Congress will host a special event at the Laguna Hills Community Center on February 23rd for a speaking engagement featuring Dr. John Drew and Republican candidate for Congress, John Webb.

Along with officially endorsing John Webb, Dr. Drew will speak on the topic of, “Why Barack Obama’s Past is More Important than His Future.” Dr. Drew is a political scientist who has shared his face-to-face observations of young Barack Obama’s ideology in articles published in American Thinker and David Horowitz’s Front Page Magazine. In attendance will be supporters of John Webb’s campaign for the 45th Congressional District and individuals who are seeking a true Conservative, not a politician tied to the interests in Washington.

“As a resident of Orange County for over 40 years, Marine Corps Veteran, and a job creator as a corporate execute and small business owner I understand the issues that impact my community,” said Congressional candidate John Webb. “I’m committed to listening to the concerns of the citizens and creating policy that pulls back bureaucracy and cuts spending.”

The event is exclusive with limited seating; a donation to John Webb for Congress is required to RSVP. The highlights will include:

• John Webb discussing his Campaign for Congress and issues platform;

• Dr. John Drew speaking about Barack Obama’s friends and political ideology while Obama was a sophomore at Occidental College in Los Angeles;

• Open mic for questions from guests and attendees.

“I’m happy to endorse John Webb. He is a Marine, a former California Highway Patrolman and a successful businessman who will bring new leadership to Orange County,” said Dr. John Drew. “I fully support John as a constitutional conservative who will help defeat Barack Obama and take back our country.”

The title of my speech will be “Have You Ever Wondered About President Obama’s Ideological Beliefs While Attending Occidental College?”

As a graduate of Occidental College and a former Marxist who met the young Obama, I think I can offer unusually clear and compelling insight into President Obama’s ideological ties to the Marxist socialist left and help clarify where Obama wants to lead our nation if he is re-elected in 2012.  My college ex-girlfriend was co-president of the Democrat Socialist Alliance while young Obama was a sophomore at Occidental College.  She was one of the three featured speakers at the famous anti-apartheid event at Occidental College in Feburary 1981 where Obama made a brief appearance in a skit.  One of the other speakers was Obama’s college roommate, the admitted Marxist socialist, Hasan Chandoo.  I can verify that both Obama and Chandoo were ardent Marxists when I hung out with them and debated the finer points of Marxist theory.

This crucial fundraising event will take place at 6:45 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Thursday, February 23, 2012.  I’ll be speaking at the Laguna Hills Community Center, Heritage Room “C” 25555 Alicia Parkway, Laguna Hills, CA.

The pricing for this event seems very reasonable to me.  If you RSVP before February 10 the tickets are $25 for individuals and $35 for couples.  If you RSVP on or after February 10 the price moves up to $40 for individuals and $50 for couples.

To get your tickets to this first ever fundraising event for John Webb, you can make a donation online at http://www.johnwebb2012.net/ or purchase your tickets at the door.  (If you purchase your ticket online, they will ask you to present your John Webb for Congress donation receipt at the door for entry.)

As you would expect, contributions to John Webb for Congress are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. Corporate contributions are prohibited. Contributions from foreign nationals are not permitted. Federal law requires them to use their best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation and name of employer for each individual whose contributions exceed $200 in an election cycle.

One of the most interesting aspects of the news, for me, is watching the Obama team dodge questions about Obama’s past.  Just today, for example, Ed Henry of Fox News asked Obama spokesperson, Jay Carney, about Obama’s college transcripts.  I was surprised at how quickly Carney dodged the question and simply referred the reporter to the Obama campaign.

The truth of the matter is that there must be bad new in those transcripts or they would have been released a long time ago.  I met the young Obama while he was a sophomore at Occidental College and long before he became a genius in the eyes of so many simply by getting himself elected as president of the Harvard Law Review.

The young Obama I met was a person of average intellect for the Occidental College campus.  He seemed more like the sort of guy who was interested in parties than in serious academic issues.  He was, as I have indicated before, a Marxists socialist anticipating a Communist style revolution in the U.S.  He did not, however, show any signs of superior intellectual potential.

As I have said for a long time now, Obama’s charisma depends, in part, on the perception that he is a genius.  As one of those who got to know how young Obama’s mind worked, I can assure you that he was not, and never was a genius.

I’m thinking that I’m applying the same common sense that helped me win the William Anderson Award from the APSA whenever I ask questions about why no one has ever interviewed one of Barack Obama’s old girlfriends.

Jack Cashill has raised the same issue in a recent article.

When I ask this question in liberal circles, I’m met with a profound sense of denial.  They just do not want to look into the fact of this matter.

Nevertheless, I think that raising this issues reflects the same common sense that makes me a successful business owner today.

If Obama is telling the truth about the girlfriends he knew prior to meeting Michelle Obama, then how come no one has ever interviewed those women and debriefed them to get the truth?

If Obama is telling the truth about the girlfriends he knew prior to meeting Michelle Obama, then how come we do not have a single photograph linking Obama to one of these women?

Instead of creating all sorts of elaborate explanations, the simplest answer is that these girlfriends were fabrications designed to hide the truth from the public.

The simple and easiest explanation is that Obama is lying about them in Dreams From My Father.

Based on what we know about the mainstream media, it is not hard to assume that they are covering up the truth about him right now.

After all, the media hid FDR’s affairs and JFK’s affairs.  It hid what it knew about LBJ’s affairs and William Jefferson Clinton’s affairs.

It kept John Edward’s affair secret for months. Why is it so hard for liberals to understand that this same mainstream media is covering up for Obama’s lack of girlfriends?
