Here’s how I feel today. Feel free to borrow, link to, distribute or share the image below that I just created. Open source baby, spread the word.
Take a look at the image below and tell me what you see.
This is an unedited picture. You can see the original thumbnail for the time being at Newsweek. Why would they print this? I’ve got a few ideas:
- The magazine is so liberal they think mainstreaming Marx is a great idea.
- Subscribers have declined so much that Newsweek has to resort to sensationalism to get people to buy the magazine.
- It’s not really Karl Marx, its Orson Welles. We all know how much the Obamas love a good movie. Just ask Gordon Brown.
My initial thought was that the first lady was certainly unaware of the imagery. But the thought of the first lady appering on a national magazine cover without approval made no sense. This must have been approved by her or someone that she completely trusts. There’s no way she doesn’t know about this.
So, my guess is that they are doing this on purpose to get the right all wee-wee’d up, just to make fun of us later. Just like Glenn Beck did when he “misspelled” oligarchy. (try searching “Genn Beck and Oligarch” and see how many liberals went crazy over his setup). Hook. LIne. Sinker. Is the Marx Apple the same thing from the left?
This episode of Glenn Beck aired on Fox on Friday, March 5, 2010. Watch them. Spread them around, while they are still available online. I especially encourage my liberal friends to watch them and tell me what they disagree with. Here are the links:

If you care about our future, you need to watch these videos. View with an open mind, search for what you disagree with and let me know why you disagree. Below is Part 4 to give you an idea of the content.
The Loud Talker podcast – February 4, 2010. An analysis of Obama’s purely partisan “National Intern Organizer” program being promoted to high school students.
We have heard for a long time how church and state need to be separated. We have heard that religion has no place in public schools that are funded by tax payer dollars. I can deal with that. Maybe. But when I see that our government is actively recruiting American high school students to participate in a partisan, Democratic, liberal community organizing program I experience the urge to break something.
It’s bad enough as a parent that I have to constantly shield my young children from the continuously sinking “standards” of television and print media. A simple walk through the mall subjects my daughter to the sexual imagery of gigantic Victoria’s Secret posters and anorexic fashion models at virtually every department store entrance. Gaming stores are full of violence, blood and guts. Television is riddled with graphically violent and overly sexual images and content. For crying out loud, last week I had to mute American Idol to keep my kids from having to deal with an over-the-top flamboyantly gay and flirtatious man hitting on Simon. Where does it stop? Answer? It doesn’t.
Fortunately my family chooses to home school. If my kids were in a public school and they received this document, I would be in the principals face faster than the ACLU at a hate crime. (well, a white on black hate crime at least.) Check out some of the nuggets found on page 1 of the curriculum:
Internship Overview (page 1): “Organizing for America, the successor organization for Obama for America, is building on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering students across the country to help us bring about our agenda of change.”
Really? What exactly is the “movement that elected” Obama? Would it include ACORN’s illegal behavior, thug tactics, persuasion, pressure and violence? Would it include methods such as infiltrating “enemy” organizations and then spreading false information or imagery to make that organization look bad? Would it include shady, if not illegal, credit card donation practices? Is this what you want to teach the youth of America? Here’s another line from the same overview page:
“OFA is… working to make the change we fought so hard for in 2008 a reality in 2010 and beyond.”
Again, this is a partisan initiative. This administration wants to recruit teenagers to serve as political soldiers and do the bidding of Team Obama to repeat the election successes of 2008. Obama wants our kids to help elect Democrats during the mid-terms and then keep working to re-elect him in 2012.
Now take a peek on page four. The administration is openly promoting and encouraging that students read Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals.” Seriously?! The very first page of chapter one in this book introduces the concept of the “haves” and “have nots.” Class warfare. Victims and the evil rich. The book is a toolkit for people to disrupt and forcibly get their way. And by the way, Alinsky dedicates the book to Lucifer. More specifically:
“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer“
What about separation of church and state now, hippy?
Pages six and nine reveal another focus of the National Intern Organizer program: Healthcare. Obama wants to use these kids to help spread the “context of the healthcare campaign,” and to discuss how to work with the media, specifically around healthcare. Yes, the very same healthcare that 61% of Americans want Congress to drop.
And, if that’s not enough, here’s the cherry on top of this crap sundae. The web site listed on page ten as “a great example of good use of new media” is a gay marriage site. Great material for our kids to be reviewing. But that’s ok with you, right?
So, I encourage each and every one of you that has kids in public high schools to contact your school board, principal or anyone at a leadership level and find out if this brochure will be distributed during the school year. THEN, ask them if a similar application for a conservative program will also be distributed.
Remember: All politics are local. Get involved. Be aware.
