David Horowitz is an interesting man. He spent his youth under the big red tent, participating fully with the radical communist elements that now own the Democrat Party. His personal story is riveting. Horowitz tells us in his book, Radical Son, of his early life and his involvement in the dark world of the Berkley radicals of the 1960’s and 70’s. Ultimately his is the story of a man coming home to discover the value of freedom. Every American should read this book. Young people especially will find Radical Son a fascinating and eye opening read.
Perhaps drawing from these early experiences, Horowitz once again Horowitz discusses what he sees as a very real threat to our freedoms. The radicals he once associated with have now moved into positions of authority, power, and prominence in America, just as they planned to do years ago. His background adds authenticity and weight to his perspective. I hope you will consider his warning in the article, “The Threat We Face,” allowing it to open your own perspective. Horowitz begins:
I was born at the beginning of the Second World War into a family of high school teachers who were members of the Communist Party, and therefore were actually part of a vast conspiracy dedicated to the destruction of this country, although they would never have looked at it that way, and so-called liberals would be the first to deny it.
In those days, the schools were old fashioned enough that my parents did not use their classrooms to indoctrinate students as tens of thousands of university professors and even more K-12 teachers regularly do today. It is also an unhappy but hugely important fact that the conspiracy to which my parents belonged has steadily migrated into the heart of the Democratic Party until it now occupies the Oval Office in the person of our president, Barack Obama, and his closest advisors… (continues)
People like David have so much to teach us. Many of us take our freedoms for granted and remain totally unaware of the threat radicals pose to our way of life. We are busy and don’t think we have the time to be involved. But there are times when not being involved can cost too much. this is one of those time. David sound the alarm in another segment:
Today the Obama juggernaut is systematically bankrupting our country, and undoing our constitutional arrangements. Its contempt for consultative and representative government is relentlessly on display. This week Senate Majority leader Harry Reid defended his refusal to negotiate with Republicans over Obamacare and the debt in these words: “We are here to support the federal government. That’s our job.” End quote. Forget about representing the people whom our Founders made sovereign. Forget what America is about.
The fact that I had a radical past allowed me to see much of this coming. But even I never thought we would be looking so soon at the prospect of a one-party state. Those words may sound hyperbolic, but take a moment to think about it. If you have transformed the taxing agency of the state into a political weapon – and Obama has; if you are setting up a massive government program to gather the financial and health information of every citizen, and control their access to care; and if you have a spy agency that can read the mail and listen to the communications of every individual in the country, you don’t really need a secret police to destroy your political opponents. Once you have silenced them, you can proceed with your plans to remake the world in your image.
The President promised to fundamentally transform the country, We warned people right after he said that during the elections in 2007 that transformation is different than change. We change laws all the time. transformation indicates a wholly different form of government. Something completely different. Don’t let that happen. Get involved and rid this country of those who would rob us of our God given freedoms!
“Forget about representing the people whom our Founders made sovereign. Forget what America is about.”
And forget about the 800,000 people not collecting paychecks this week.
I mean, really! What gibberish! “Constitutional arrangements”. What is that supposed to mean, anyway.
And this: “… to gather the financial and health information of every citizen, and control their access to care; ….”
Total paranoia. The only thing in the federal database will be who you’ve signed up with. It’s Aetna, Healthnet, and/or Kaiser that have all you data … because you’ve chosen to give it to them.
Breath, people. Breath.
David Horowitz is one of my greatest heroes. A staggering and courageous intellect who lives “freedom of speech” as opposed the morass of Communists, Marxists, Socialists, “Liberals” who these days fall inside the tent of “Progressive”.
How many times has he been invited to speak on university campuses only to be shouted down and threatened by leftists afraid of free speech?
Well, it’s hard, very hard … especially for the youngsters, to just stand by quietly while someone spouts a lot of bald-butted lies.
Libby You are the one that said on another thread that bald-butted lying is the preferred Marxist method of achieving goals.
Now you’re trying to pretend that a reformed Marxist doesn’t have your number?
Quite amusing, really.
I feel al-Libby’s pain.
