My concerns for America
Obama sowing socialist seeds in young people
by Jon Voight
The Washington Times
We, as parents, are well aware of the importance of our teachers who teach and program our children. We also know how important it is for our children to play with good-thinking children growing up.
Sen. Barack Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger. We cannot say we are not affected by teachers who are militant and angry. We know too well that we become like them, and Mr. Obama will run this country in their mindset.
The Democratic Party, in its quest for power, has managed a propaganda campaign with subliminal messages, creating a God-like figure in a man who falls short in every way. It seems to me that if Mr. Obama wins the presidential election, then Messrs. Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers and Pfleger will gain power for their need to demoralize this country and help create a socialist America.
The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds. I know this process well. I was caught up in the hysteria during the Vietnam era, which was brought about through Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement. The radicals of that era were successful in giving the communists power to bring forth the killing fields and slaughter 2.5 million people in Cambodia and South Vietnam. Did they stop the war, or did they bring the war to those innocent people? In the end, they turned their backs on all the horror and suffering they helped create and walked away.
Those same leaders who were in the streets in the ’60s are very powerful today in their work to bring down the Iraq war and to attack our president, and they have found their way into our schools. William Ayers is a good example of that.
Thank God, today, we have a strong generation of young soldiers who know exactly who they are and what they must do to protect our freedom and our democracy. And we have the leadership of Gen. David Petraeus, who has brought hope and stability to Iraq and prevented the terrorists from establishing a base in that country. Our soldiers are lifting us to an example of patriotism at a time when we’ve almost forgotten who we are and what is at stake.
If Mr. Obama had his way, he would have pulled our troops from Iraq years ago and initiated an unprecedented bloodbath, turning over that country to the barbarianism of our enemies. With what he has openly stated about his plans for our military, and his lack of understanding about the true nature of our enemies, there’s not a cell in my body that can accept the idea that Mr. Obama can keep us safe from the terrorists around the world, and from Iran, which is making great strides toward getting the atomic bomb. And while a misleading portrait of Mr. Obama is being perpetrated by a media controlled by the Democrats, the Obama camp has sent out people to attack the greatness of Sen. John McCain, whose suffering and courage in a Hanoi prison camp is an American legend.
Gen. Wesley Clark, who himself has shame upon him, having been relieved of his command, has done their bidding and become a lying fool in his need to demean a fellow soldier and a true hero.
This is a perilous time, and more than ever, the world needs a united and strong America. If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
This is really a good column he wrote. Voight has been boldly speaking out against the Marxist positions of Barack Obama for awhile now. It takes big cojones for a Hollywood actor to speak out against socialists.It is too bad the way the showbiz industry is so socialist and communist. So this is extra nice to see this when an actor takes a stand.
….Thank you Jack. Jack’s blog is
Conservative Insurgent
Jon Voight is sure going against the show biz grain. I guess he knows his days of getting a movie role are now probably over. Hopefully he has invested his earnings well and can sit bac and laugh at the others.
His words are direct and to the point. A few short statements and he has expressed the reality of the socialist movement.
I thought it was a breath of fresh air to hear a Hollywood icon speak out. Thanks WT.
I read this and thought, Wow–that’s one good essay.
Jon’s a good guy. Better actor too.
I love seeing him in the National Treasure movies. He’s such a hoot!
Oh, and Heidi Montag from The Hills endorsed McCain.
Yep, even the young ones are jumping on board.
Tom, yes that’s true. It is very true that if a person speaks out like this they seldom work after that.
Jack, it really makes me happy to see this. It happens so seldom.
Thank you for sending it to me.
Lynn, that is great, they are out there, too bad a lot of them have to be silent but little by little some are speaking out.
Thanks Lynn for telling about Heidi Montag too.
What, three conservatives in Hollyweirdo La La Land – Jon Voight, Gary Sinise and Bo ’10’ Derek?
Darth, LOL yep not omany huh.
