While attempting to answer several questions from Kevin in the blog post comment thread here, I thought that I would bring the conversation to a new blog post. Why? For several reasons. I think that it is extremely important for conservatives to continually educate the public, via blogs, books, videos, etc. about the true nature of Obama. This is a very important issue.

Hi Christine,
Arab is not recognized as a race ( but don't believe me, go ahead and look it up--Wikipedia does a good job at explaining Arab). It is an ethnicity, just like 'Irish' is not a race but an ethnic group. For example, saying someone is 50% Irish is not necessarily saying they are 50% white (or whatever race you want to pick). I still don't understand the '6.25% African Negro from his father's side.' I think the author of this statement is confusing race with ethnicity, unless there is another racial mixture of his African grandparents or great grandparents. This whole percentage thing is rather odd as well, if you ask me. What is the point? If it is to point out that he is different and 'other,' then we have to ask why it is being pointed out.

And again I ask--what is Marxist about Obama and his policies? I would love to see some parallels to other Marxist regimes and what our own President is doing. Did you see that article at the CNN website that was from the President of the Socialist USA party? He said that Obama is no such thing. Interesting...
My first inclination was to reply, what ISN'T Marxist about Obama and his policies!!?? It is so clear to anyone paying any attention to what is going on in the White House and Congress, it seems to me that the question doesn't even need to be asked! However, since Kevin did ask (several times) for a reply from me, I thought that it would be best to be thorough and present as much evidence as possible. [Note: Do not miss the videos over at Investigating Obama. A man who KNEW Obama in his younger years reveals much evidence that Obama was, and still is a Marxist. In fact, he goes so far as to claim that Obama is a revolutionary Marxist activist!
My reply:
Kevin,
I think that the question is not "why is it being pointed out," but why has it been purposely hidden? A blogging friend of mine once wrote that he thinks Obama (and all of his cohorts) want to hide his Muslim roots.
A while back, Glenn Beck had a segment on his show about all of the radial socialists, Marxists, Communists, and Maoists who influenced Obama throughout his entire life. He did a quick recap of Obama's life from childhood to adulthood. What I found odd was that Beck left out Obama Jr's. adoption by Lolo Soetoro, the move to Indonesia, and the fact that Obama was taught Muslim practices during his early childhood schooling there. Why did Beck leave that out? Perhaps because of a time constraint. But I think that it had a lot to do with not revealing to the public Obama's Muslim schooling and roots. The Fox News Channel is 17% owned by Saudis - and keeping such information from the public might be deemed important to them.
In another comment, you wanted me to tell you why I think that Obama is a Marxist. One telling sign is that he has been surrounded by, and influenced by them his entire life! But don't just take my word for it. You can read :
1. Investigating Obama: Barack Obama Argued Strict Revolutionary Marxism to John C. Drew at Occidental College.
2. Sean Hannity's new book - Conservative Victory - Defeating Obama's Radical Agenda. [Only $10.35 at Walmart or $8.00 at Amazon.] Sean labels Obama as a socialist. Just a different degree of the Marxist, Communist brand.
3. Scroll down at the blog site when you click on the link below and read the The Obama File sidebar links on the right of the page. A plethora of information about Obama's Marxism.
4. Watch former Glenn Beck Program shows online. He points out how many of Obama czars and staff are Marxist or downright Communists!
Kevin, the majority of Americans are now on to Obama, his lies, and all of his terrible schemes. He will become a lame duck after the November 2010 elections and hopefully his disastrous bills will all be repealed. He will be a one term president OTP and our nation will be back to having a sane leader again in 2012 (if not sooner because hopefully, one of the lawsuits pointing out his obvious ineligibility might get a hearing before then).
