View Full Version : Obama's foreign policy

Trying to figure out how Obama decides what to support, what to condemn, and what to watch in silence.

In Honduras, the President of the country (no friend to the U.S.) was violating the constitution, seeking to circumvent the law and make himself president for life, ignored the legislature and supreme court and was then ordered removed by the court. The military enforced the court's judgment. Obama joined the world in condemning this action as a military coup, despite the fact that all the military did was enforce the law, maintain the integrity of the civilian institutions, and quickly hold elections for a new president.

In Iran the Presidential election brought widespread protests from people seeking greater freedom from the radical mullahs running the country. The military violently put down the protests and crushed the opposition. Obama stood by in silence, not even offering moral support to the demonstrators.

In Egypt a collection of groups - some wanting freedom and democracy, some wanting an Islamist government, rose up to protest the government of Mubarak, a long time ally in the region. The military did not intervene and allowed the protests to grow. Obama quickly called on Mubarak to leave office.

In 3 major events since he took office, Obama sided with a wanna be dictator in Honduras, sat meekly by while the Iranians slaughtered protesters who wanted a government which surely would have been more friendly to us than what they have now, and encouraged one of our most reliable allies in the Middle East to leave office ASAP, leaving many questions about who will ultimately take control in Egypt, and sending a dangerous signal to our other allies in the region - the United States does not stand behind our friends.

Mr. Obama is nothing short of an embarrassment to the American people. He is in way over his head.

AMEN! Hopefully voters have learned from their mistake. But with the support (read "worship") of the media, Hollywood, recording industry, the unions and other special interests that stupid Americans rely upon to tell them what to do, I don't see much hope for the future of value oriented Americans who were raised to believe that hard work, honesty and faith were the virtues that had the best positive impact on their lives. I blame Obama on two major groups of Americans - youth and minorities. Isn't it ironic that both of these groups are the most hurt by Obama's financial policies? They have the highest unemployment rates and the ones graduating college are quickly realizing that their fancy degrees mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. If we don't wake up, we will soon be Europe.

I don't believe Obama has any genuine religious beliefs. His Marxist ideology would preclude that possibility. Therefore, the simplest way to sum up Obama's foreign policy is that he will likely support the politics of any country or political group that is anti-Capitalism, anti-Freedom and anti-Individualism. His staunch opposition to these American values seems make the most sense in light of his three major foreign policy decisions to date. (And actually there would be four given his tough stand against Israel.)

Also, we must never forget that this is a president who has proven to us with virtually every visit abroad that he has very low view of Americana, of American culture, of American values and of American Exceptionalism; for he cannot apologize enough for what he perceives as America's grievous errors in foreign policy matters, in our own greediness, avarice, selfishness, etc. This low view of America is entirely consistent with his Marxist views and it also explains his promise to "fundamentally transform the face of America".

Only as a last resort. Most commies today are more sophisticated than that. They realize the can win America over by instituting policies that ensure we will cave in under the weight of our own corruption. More than a few leading commies have long believed this. They don't believe a shot will ever be fired.

I heard on Hannity earlier this afternoon that the Iranian people have taken to the streets to demonstrate their support for the Egyptian people. The Iranian government supposedly cracked down on hard on them.

I'm sure we'll be hearing from Pharaoh Obama shortly voicing his strong support for the demonstrators and demanding that the Iranian government MUST listen to its people and make the transition to democracy immediately if not sooner. Stay tuned...

Was that a "no", I heard? Stay tuned. I'm sure he'll have something to say shortly to this government, which is the sworn enemy of America. :rolleyes:

Clinton: Time for Iran to 'open up,' follow Egypt

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Top US diplomat Hillary Clinton hailed the "courage" and "aspirations" of anti-government protests in Iran on Monday, and pressed Tehran to follow Egypt's example and "open up" its political system.

"We wish the opposition and the brave people in the streets across cities in Iran the same opportunity that they saw their Egyptian counterparts seize in the last week," the secretary of state told reporters during a visit to Congress.

"We support the universal rights of the Iranian people. They deserve to have the same rights" as those demanded by protesters who helped oust Egypt's Hosni Mubarak "and that are part of their own birthright."

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110214/pl_afp/iranpoliticsunrestusclinton_20110214224922

But where, oh where is our "champion of freedom"? He still hasn't publicly addressed either the people or the government. He wasted no time when the Egyptians took the street, but now...? Clinton is all he has?

Why do you doubt me? I have a better track record than El Rusbo. ;) And now you want me to search various books I have to dig out the quotes? How many quotes would you like: 3, 5, 10, 15, 20?

Also, when commies have made those remarks, they meant that there would be no war or invasion of the U.S. Revolution from within, however, is a very distinct possibility. Remember Khrushchev's famous words when he was here in the U.S.?

“We will bury you without firing a shot”,

http://hubpages.com/hub/WeWillBuryYouwithoutFiringaShot

And there were commies before Khrushchev who predicted the same thing -- either Lenin or Stalin, but I'll have to dig that quote out of one of my books.

And the irony in their remarks is that it's easier today to get capitalism to cave in upon itself than when they expressed their sentiments, since world economies currently are inextricably woven together.

Then we have Mr. Alinsky's. He believed that anti-American revolution will be built upon "the strategy of working within the system until you can accumulate enough power to destroy, it was what the sixties radicals called 'boring from within'...Like termites, they set about to eat away at the foundations of the building in expectation that one day they could cause it to collapse" (Aaron Klein, "Obama Helped Fund 'Alinsky Academy' -
WorldDailyNet.com )

Indirectly related to this immediate topic is the role various "political shadow groups" play in bringing the U.S. to the place of gobalism -- collectivism on a global scale. One such group are the Bilderberg of which David Rockerfeller is a member. In Rocky's Memoris, he wrote about this group:

Some even believe that we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as "internationalists" and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure -- one world if you will. If that's the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it. (p. 405)

Hope these little tidbits whet your appetite to conduct your own research on this matter. It appears that Tom has Alinsky's work Rules for Radicals, so he might be able to fill you in further on how Alinsky's rules would result in the U.S. economy collapsing, which in turn would act as the catalyst for a revolution.

Here's another interesting link:

This guy Sims, evidently, subscribes to an Alinsky method of infiltration -- or "boring from within".

If I can find other quotes, I'll beam them up to ya.

We are a guerrilla organization. We are communist women and men, underground in the United States for more than four years. We are deeply affected by the historic events of our time in the struggle against U.S. imperialism.
Our intention is to disrupt the empire, to incapacitate it, to put pressure on the cracks, to make it hard to carry out its bloody functioning against the people of the world, to join the world struggle, to attack from the inside.

Good post Jim!

And if anyone doubts what the goals of the CPUSA are, just snuggle up to your favorite drink or snack and read the entire page. It's a very long read, but it's also highly informative. And you'd swear that a Reid or a Pelosi or an Obama or a Rangel or Chucky Schumer or a Rev Jackson or anyone of their miserable ilk wrote that page! In fact, just about any Democrat or any many RINOs, for that matter, could have written it. You really won't find any substantial differences between the Democrat platform and that of the CPUSA!

http://www.cpusa.org/party-program/

Here's a little bit to stoke the fires of interest:

3. The Working Class, Class Struggle, Democratic Struggle, and Forces for Progress

Workers always seek to solve the chronic ills they face. Whether individual workers are conscious of it yet or not, the ultimate outcome of this struggle is socialism. To determine the strategy and tactics required for immediate progress and more basic change, it is necessary to be clear about what propels progressive change and about which struggles, classes, and social forces have the potential to play decisive roles. The history of our country and the experience of struggle worldwide in recent years confirm the Marxist assertion that the struggle of the working class against the capitalist class is the chief driving force for fundamental progressive change.

The working class is compelled to resist increased exploitation. It seeks to improve living conditions by increasing workers share of the new value they create at the expense of the capitalists. This class struggle takes place in the factories where commodities are produced and in the venues of distribution and sale of commodities. This is the economic side of the class struggle. The class struggle also has a political side. It plays out in struggles over governmental action or inaction, over social spending and tax policy, over elections, and ultimately over which class or formation of class and social forces becomes dominant in holding and exercising political power. The class struggle also exists in the realm of ideology, that is, between social and political ideas and values that justify the political and economic policies of the contending classes.

The class struggle starts with the fight for wages, hours, benefits, working conditions, job security, and jobs. But it also includes an endless variety of other forms for fighting specific battles: resisting speed-up, picketing, contract negotiations, strikes, demonstrations, lobbying for pro-labor legislation, elections, and even general strikes. When workers struggle against the capitalist class or any part of it on any issue with the aim of improving or defending their lives, it is part of the class struggle.

There is no limit to the range of issues that are part of the class struggle: peace, democratic liberties, for full equality and against racism, health care, decent schools, public housing, social security, environmental protection, and more. The class struggle takes on more conscious forms in strike struggles, which are expressions of trade union consciousness. The class struggle reaches full class and socialist consciousness only when the alliance of class and social forces is built under working-class leadership in order to win power and construct socialism. The activity of the Communist Party is based on building full class consciousness, which includes socialist consciousness.

The working class is the only force capable of becoming the general leader of the struggle for full social progress and socialism. Capitalisms dependence on the working class to create all wealth gives it a strategic role in the production process and great potential power.

The size of the working class and its experience of collective labor and collective struggle prepare it to lead the struggle for progress. In the words of the Communist Manifesto, the working class is the only truly revolutionary class, because only the working class has no other interest than ending capitalism completely and replacing it with socialism. These qualities and experiences also make the working class fertile ground for the ideas of socialism and Marxism and for Communist Party membership.

The working class of the U.S. is vibrant and diverse. The working class constitutes the great bulk of the country's population, and is continually growingworkers and their families are a substantial majority of the total population. The diversity of the working class includes skilled and unskilled labor, white-collar and blue-collar workers, people of all ages, organized and unorganized, employed, underemployed, and unemployed. Our working class is almost evenly composed of men and women. Most nationally and racially oppressed communities are more heavily working-class than the country as a whole, and together constitute more than 25% of the working class, a percentage that is rapidly increasing. Despite its increasing diversity, ours is a single working class, a class whose unity is growing and deepening.

The Communist Manifesto declared: Workers of the World Unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains. From the smallest of class struggles to the largest, unity is the key to victory. The experience of working people in their workplaces and neighborhoods is such that only by joining together to fight for their common interests and demands can they win. This is the guiding principle of all unions and people's organizations: in unity is strength. Organization is the characteristic weapon of the working class and popular movements.

Everything mentioned and even more further down on the page has to do with internal struggles.

Note carefully the last sentence and what the big weapon is of the working class and popular movements: ORGANIZATION. And BO was what again -- a Community ORGANIZER?

The following paragraph reveals the amount of air inside the head of the author of the CPUSA page to which I supplied the link in my last post. Get a load of this paragraph:

From its inception, the United States was built on racism. From the displacement and near genocide of Native Americans, to the enslavement of African Americans, to the theft of huge sections of Mexico, to the racist exclusion of Asian and Pacific Islander immigrants, to the current xenophobic hysteria against Arabs and South Asians, racism has been a convenient tool for the maintenance of power and super-profits by the ruling class at the expense of oppressed people and all workers.

This was taken from the section titled:

Multiracial, Multinational Unity for Full Equality and Against RacismCore Forces for Progress

Can someone please bring me up to speed on American history and tell me just when did we enslave "African Americans"? I must have played hooky on that day or something. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Obama 'Furious' With Hillary State Department Over Egypt


Sunday, 13 Feb 2011 05:42 PM


Is a civil war brewing between the Obama White House and Hillary Clinton's State Department?

A New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/13/world/middleeast/13diplomacy.html)story published this weekend suggests one may have erupted already.

http://www.newsmax.com/getattachment/b20c6734-e222-4d4a-9761-8a9646344b66/hillary-clinton.jpg.aspx?width=100&height=126On Saturday, the Times, quoting numerous White House sources, sought to explain the Obama administration's erratic policy statements during the Egyptian crisis.

The paper reported that Obama was "seething" over State Department officials's statement suggesting that the administration did not want a quick transition of power in Egypt, with President Hosni Mubarak stepping down from his office immediately.

Obama felt that the State Department "made it look as if the administration were protecting a dictator and ignoring the pleas of the youths of Cairo."

As Secretary Clinton and her special envoy Frank Wisner repeatedly called for an orderly transition that would include President Mubarak remaining in office for at least a period of time, Obama and his team studiously sought to undermine the State Department stance.

The Times states that Mr. Obama "was furious" about Clinton's and Wisner's statements, "as Mr. Obama was demanding that change in Egypt begin right away."

From my perspective, Obama's Foreign Policy comes directly from that classic and deep text book.
"All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarden" by Robert Fulghum.

Here are some of Fulghum's major tenets that Obama follows to a T.:

Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
When you go out in the world, watch out for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
And then remember the Dick-and-Jane books and the first word you learned - the biggest word of all - LOOK.
Unfortunately, "Don't tell lies." didn't make Fulghums list.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Top US diplomat Hillary Clinton hailed the "courage" and "aspirations" of anti-government protests in Iran on Monday, and pressed Tehran to follow Egypt's example and "open up" its political system.

"We wish the opposition and the brave people in the streets across cities in Iran the same opportunity that they saw their Egyptian counterparts seize in the last week," the secretary of state told reporters during a visit to Congress.

"We support the universal rights of the Iranian people. They deserve to have the same rights" as those demanded by protesters who helped oust Egypt's Hosni Mubarak "and that are part of their own birthright."
