Bill Ayers & Bernadine Dohrn: Former terrorists, Obama’s kindred spirits

by Horatius on October 19, 2008

Why should Americans care about Bill Ayers’ and Bernadine Dohrn’s support of Barack Obama?  It has everything to do with those essential characteristics of a U.S. president, judgment and character.  Joseph Morrison Skelly elaborates at National Review:

. . . what did Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn see in Barack Obama when they met him in Chicago? After reading [Dan] Berger’s book, Outlaws of America: The Weather Underground and the Politics of Solidarity, the answer is clear: they saw in him a kindred spirit, a fellow traveler, an acceptable face of the radical agenda they were pushing. What is more, Obama saw kindred souls in Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. This cuts to the heart of the matter. A person with a sound moral compass would have never developed a relationship with the two former terrorists in the first place, but would have immediately distanced himself from them. A person with a strong moral foundation, never mind a candidate for president of the United States, would have never sought to ingratiate himself with the likes of Ayers and Dohrn, a man and woman who have committed evil acts, who have admitted as such, and who have never repented for their transgressions. . .

Not that Skelly is the first to draw attention to the moral depravity of Ayers, Dohrn and, yes, Obama, but Skelly’s full article is neverthelss well worth a serious read for what it adds to the factual fabric of the man who would be America’s dictator.

If Obama were to have a background check…he could NOT get a clearance. In other words…he would not pass!! Now that should alarm all of us!

Aren’t we all Americans’? Shouldn’t we all care? But it seems to me that it really doesn’t matter to the Dems…because it’s all about being in POWER…and putting their party FIRST…instead of our country! How pathetic!!

This nation is about to get FLUSHED DOWN THE SOCIALIST TOILET.

To that end, all corporate expansion within my company has been frozen. Even though the profitability is there, well, simply putting it, why bother?

If Obama wins, we will ALL LOSE. Will not last more than one term, but the damage will be immense to freedom and economy. Does anyone here remember the Jimmy Carter years?

Stagnation?
