Next month, June of 2015, will mark 6th year and 6th month of the administration of Barack Obama. We might call it 6/6/5 to distinguish it from next years mark, which will be 6/6/6. In June, America will be counting down from one year and six months to go on the historic administration of America's first black President.
The reference D.E.W. Line is World War Two jargon standing for Distant Early Warning Line, which was a perimeter of aircraft spotters, in the Pacific. If the observers could spot enemy aircraft at that distance, air power would have a chance to intercept them before they reached America. I submit that we are crossing the DEW Line. This is a time to begin assessing consequences, a time to go into the mode of damage control.
I think now it would be judicious and prudent to open a discussion of possible long term consequences of actions, appointments, and policies put in place over the past years by Barack Obama as he has has gone about the business of transforming America.
There is no question in my mind that America let its guard down when it elected, then re-elected this man. We haven't seen this kind of directed leftist agenda since FDR. That was eighty years ago. Americans had forgotten what power a president possesses, if he has the will to use it and the weak and feckless Congress to allow it. Now, that same Congress must be our greatest resource in unraveling the entanglements, since they are closest to the problems.
This is not a legacy thread. I am looking for real actions that forecast disaster and can be undone by the next administration. This is not a softball topic. What hangs in the balance is the motivation and will of voters to get out and vote in 2016.
Right off the bat, I see, one, sabotaged efforts to control spending; and, two, aided and abetted the galvanization of the Caliphate.

The caliphate? You are a lunatic.
I think also if someone was knowledgeable and/or looked into into it, we would find policies that contributed to the division of the races. Most of what first comes to mind will likely blow over.
What long term policies has Obama put into place that will continue to erode racial unease?

I dont think Obama put in any long term policies that will erode racial unease.
I called you a lunatic because you referred to his Presdiency as a caliphate.
I'd be glad to give you policies that I think would if implemented help end racial unease. I dont think Obama cares about ending racial unease any more then I thin hes a marxist or the leader of a caliphate.

The "racial unease" as you call it, is a direct result of Obama's policies, exacerbated by his lapdog media.
Despite what the MSM will have you believe, unjustified shootings, and questionable use of force by police officers don't only happen to black males. Plenty of white males (and white females) end up on the wrong end of Justice, but you never hear about them because they can't be used to divide the country racial - a prime objective of the Obama Administration.

I think Red_Dirt was talking about Obama's incompetent foreign policy which has pissed away the achievements of the Bush Administration and allowed to rise ISIS in the Middle East - their stated goal is to reestablish the Islamic Caliphate.

Obama is undoubtedly a Marxist! His policies echo that of the old Soviet Union, and if he were ever to tell the truth, I would imagine he sees himself as America's Stalin. He doesn't see himself as a leader of the Caliphate, but I believe he views himself as a necessary element to bring about its return.

No truer words have ever been said! :thumbup: :thumbup:
I'm gratified there is some agreement on that. I've had my suspicions, watching the left wing and the touchy feely libs, at least as early as the Arab Spring. Here it is, a few years later, and guests are appearing in print and on the radio, stating the opinion that the wool was pulled over our eyes by the Arab Spring. Then, there is the Moslem Brotherhood and Iran, and Israel..... :mad:
Talk about a Chinese fire drill!
Let's say best case scenario, the administration changes hands and we see a shakeup at DOD, State Dept., and Immigration. Will that be enough? Or has Obama put policies in place to defeat any measures of damage control? That is a good place to start the assessments. By the way, damage control can start any time. Example, Sen. Cotton's letter to Iran cautioning them against going too far along based on unauthorized handshake with the State Department.

With this administration, we don't know how much is being done on purpose or how much is attributed to incompetence. The one I keep going back to is this nationalization of local police, because that seems to have broad leftist support. How broad? How intractable? How inevitable?
Is this a deep agenda and Obama simply using the crises to sneak it through without discussion?
I'll bet Senator Cruz and his Dad would have some choice words based on Cuba's experience.

Well, that is exactly it. The parrots kept it up about "it's all Bush's fault," to cover the retreat as the vacuum was created, leaving all those soldiers and their families asking, "Was everything we did for nothing?"

All those soldiers are definitely scratching their heads over the prospect of coming home and maybe now living next door to some that they have fought overseas. Now their government is allowing some of these same enemies to integrate our communities, not assimilate . It will still be a war but on our land.

We are compiling the bullet points.
And is this not (the underlined) the expressed agenda of the Nation of Islam, where the Obama's went to Sunday School in Chicago? How much of what we are seeing is unspoken black nationalism? Nice trick, setting up your own nation within a nation, if you can get away with it. I'll take Manhattan, and Staten Island, too.

Another black male was just choked to death in Texas today. A war vet.

If Obama is a Marxist, explain why the super rich funded his campaign? Explain why since he took power the top 1 percent has gained 95 percent of the wealth overseen by him since his tenure. Explain why he staffed his white house with banking insiders?
Explain why he is letting coprorate lawyers write the free trade agtreement and why he let the health care industry write Obamacare.

Would it be better termed "racial dis-ease?" :ohmy:
Just trying to avoid the lawsuit.
The racial divide under Obama has widened considerably. This is do in my opinion to The Obama's and Holder's massive racial chip that they carry on their shoulder. This plus the left used their skin color as a shield whenever they policies and decisions were questioned or criticized. It worked for the first few years. When it stopped working they ramped up the racial narrative by turning against the police. This was exacerbated by the increase in poverty and unemployment in the black community. A direct result of Obama's economic policies.

The immediate aim of the Communists is the same as that of all other proletarian parties: formation of the proletariat into a class, overthrow of the bourgeois supremacy, conquest of political power by the proletariat.-The Manifesto of the Communist PartyThere are very few true capitalists these days. The so-called 1 - Percent who support Obama do so because they know that all they have can be taken by the Government on little more than the word of an Administration official. As a result, he and his Marxist gain that which they lust for - POWER.
Regulation, intimidation, confiscation, these are the weapons that have replaced the pitchforks and axes of the Communist Revolution! The On Percenters who support Obama are not unlike the Jews, who early on supported the NAZI Party - thinking they could control it and morph it into something benign.

I'll propose another folder be added to the three, which are debt & spending, Islamification, and Racial Division. This one has come on like a Trojan horse. I consider myself reasonably well informed, have associates who have been pounding at this issue for years, now, but only recently, thanks to a chance hearing of Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindahl, did it finally sink in, like a rock. I mean, Common Core.

Here is what the schools of education have done, and here is how to beat them.
In math, union leaders took an established college philosophy course known as "Symbolic Logic," tweaked it and converted it into system capable of being applied to basic math operations, and unveiled it as the new math of the Common Core Curriculum.
Well, of course, it is a scam. It is a smoke screen scheme designed to protect the jobs of members of America's most powerful union, (actually second most powerful, if we count the American Medical Association as number one,) by reconfiguring basic math operations into a coded array of symbols, which must be taught and learned, in order to successfully perform the traditional operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Once the students have been grueled in the new method, of course, they will be tested in mastery of the "new" standards.
☼ + ☼ = 20
☼ + ç = 15
ç = ?
We can see, this is a fun and simple game the children are playing to add numbers. The Voodoo Children of the US Department of Education are here to convince us that by learniong this game, American school children will be mystically imbued with higher level insight into the world of numbers and math.
Now that we understand the challenge, let's get out there and write the books, "Understandin Common Core." That's what we had to do with the new math.
The bottom line is that home schools, charter schools, and non conforming private schools will be left at the gate, while the clever public schools will lurch ahead in the competitive environment. Not incidentally, the public school teacher will remain an indispensible component of education and training.
The answer to the challenge is obvious. If the public school attendees can master the Common Core Curriculum in a year, the average home schooler ought to be able to achieve mastery in a week or ten days. Small sacrifice to make. And, do you know, even if the unions succeed in forcing the standardized test business to bend to its will, the students have until grade eleven to knock this challenge down. So, don't panic, don't rush it.
This will backfire. Keep teaching the traditional method. That way, your student can work the problems backwards, figuring out the answer first, then working out the symbolc rendering. That's what the Asian students will do.

Obviously you have a very idealistic view of communism. In any communist society there was never equality. There has always been a ruling class. That is one reason why the super rich funded Obama. There were buying a seat at the ruling table.

Once again you lack credibility by not establishing links, then you claim the cops strangled a black man...a war vet....(Timothy McVeigh as also a war vet) infering "indiscriminate force" how the hell do you know it was "indiscriminate" and what qualifies you to make such pronouncement? Especially since all we have is your word which isn't very strong around here.
Stalin was a worse murderer than Hitler.....no matter what he was or was not.
Look, folkster, I initiated this thread with all good intentions; namely, compile a list of the most egregious over steps of the evil Marxists inside the beltway who have somehow managed to land in policy positions. Never claimed stuff doesn't happen. The stated purpose was that we might get a head start on rolling back this Bloshevist's inroads once we get a Cruz, or whoever it may happen to be, into the White House, and start the long process of national healing.
You, to the contrary, claiming to be a conservative, have done nothing but contribute one distracting, trivializing, and derailing post after another, the claim that Stalin was not a Marxist only one of the more stirring, in what appears to be some sort of ill conceived attempt to ward off the obvious, which is that the Obama administration has foisted one subversive scheme after another on this gullible and vulnerable public, gullible by nature, vulnerable by circumstance.
I have done my best to isolate the areas of attack: fiscal, racial, religious, and educational; but you are depriving me of the main resource that has causes me to this forum; namely, to get astute input from the membership, which, as you have found, refuses to let you slide, one iota.
If you persist, I will simply open another thread under the same concern, and invite you to play somewhere else.
