Moving Forward With Obama

New Obama slogan has long ties to Marxism, Socialism

By Victor Morton - The Washington Times
April 30, 2012, 06:56PM


The Obama campaign apparently didn't look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, "Forward" — a word with a long and rich association with European Marxism.

Many Communist and radical publications and entities throughout the 19th and 20th centuries had the name "Forward!" or its foreign cognates. Wikipedia has an entire section called "Forward (generic name of socialist publications)."

"The name Forward carries a special meaning in socialist political terminology. It has been frequently used as a name for socialist, communist and other left-wing newspapers and publications," the online encyclopedia explains.

The slogan "Forward!" reflected the conviction of European Marxists and radicals that their movements reflected the march of history, which would move forward past capitalism and into socialism and communism.

The Obama campaign released its new campaign slogan Monday in a 7-minute video. The title card has simply the word "Forward" with the "O" having the familiar Obama logo from 2008. It will be played at rallies this weekend that mark the Obama re-election campaign's official beginning.

There have been at least two radical-left publications named "Vorwaerts" (the German word for "Forward"). One was the daily newspaper of the Social Democratic Party of Germany whose writers included Friedrich Engels and Leon Trotsky. It still publishes as the organ of Germany's SDP, though that party has changed considerably since World War II. Another was the 1844 biweekly reader of the Communist League. Karl Marx, Engels and Mikhail Bakunin are among the names associated with that publication.

East Germany named its Army soccer club ASK Vorwaerts Berlin (later FC Vorwaerts Frankfort).

Vladimir Lenin founded the publication "Vpered" (the Russian word for "forward") in 1905. Soviet propaganda film-maker Dziga Vertov made a documentary whose title is sometimes translated as "Forward, Soviet" (though also and more literally as "Stride, Soviet").

Conservative critics of the Obama administration have noted numerous ties to radicalism and socialists throughout Mr. Obama's history, from his first political campaign being launched from the living room of two former Weather Underground members, to appointing as green jobs czar Van Jones, a self-described communist.

Obama is a seasoned Marxist... his idealogy is steeped deep from the most radical of all, his mentor Frank Marshall Davis. The next step will be direct communism.
 
<sigh> Oh, for GOD'S sake. The dearly departed Rev. Sun Myung Moon's little rightwingnut newspaper is SERIOUSLY desperate, to use this idiotic argument. LOL

I suppose none of these people "looked backwards into history" before uttering these words?

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
Walt Disney

If we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values - that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

But just as they did in Philadelphia when they were writing the constitution, sooner or later, you've got to compromise. You've got to start making the compromises that arrive at a consensus and move the country forward.
Colin Powell

The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you can see.
Winston Churchill

It is for us to pray not for tasks equal to our powers, but for powers equal to our tasks, to go forward with a great desire forever beating at the door of our hearts as we travel toward our distant goal.
Helen Keller

If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.
Henry Ford

A liberal is a man or a woman or a child who looks forward to a better day, a more tranquil night, and a bright, infinite future.
Leonard Bernstein

Be courageous. I have seen many depressions in business. Always America has emerged from these stronger and more prosperous. Be brave as your fathers before you. Have faith! Go forward!
Thomas A. Edison


And my personal fave:
A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

Considering that those 'unsourced' materials were posted when I was relatively new to the forum (and not too well versed with the requirements) and you are a supposedly a 'moderator', you are not very forgiving, are you, Bo? Besides, a moderator is supposed to be neutral, not take sides. So, why are you taking sides?
 
Yawn.. built by association. Logical fallacy.

Homeland Security is what the Nazi police were called. Heimat Sekuritat...

Hmmmm where has he advocated worker ownership of the means of production?

Or is it that you are ignorant of what the word Marxist means?

Let me guess, you started working right out of High school right? And you got what.. a D in your European History Class?

Quoting all these folks (across history) utilizing the word 'forward' in their speeches is all very nice, anfh. However, I doubt very much that they were thinking of Obama when they uttered these words. The word 'Forward', unfortunately, has lost some of its original intent, having been corrupted by certain elements of society to mis-lead, and to suit a nefarious purpose. Obama's murky background, and long-time communist bedfellows, say a lot about him, and I think you are naive (to an extreme) to believe he will not use the word 'forward' in a corrupted way to signal his Marxist compatriots of his true identity, and of his hidden intentions, for this country. It is a measure of Obama's arrogance that he would so openly use a word so preferred by Marxists for his re-election slogan. It amounts to a slap-in-the-face to all decent Americans, who understand what this word really means.
 
The Nobel Peace Prize Winner’s Kill List

June 1, 2012 by Sam Rolley (personalliberty.com)


UPI
Drone attacks occur frequently in countries where the United States is not at war.Nobel Peace Prize-winning President Barack Obama has used drones as his personal angels of death (more than 281 times in Pakistan alone) to kill hundreds of people whom the Administration defines as “militants.”

What exactly is a militant? Allow The New York Times to explain:

Mr. Obama embraced a disputed method for counting civilian casualties that did little to box him in. It in effect counts all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants, according to several administration officials, unless there is explicit intelligence posthumously proving them innocent.

Counterterrorism officials insist this approach is one of simple logic: people in an area of known terrorist activity, or found with a top Qaeda operative, are probably up to no good.

Remember, these drone attacks occur frequently in countries where the United States is not at war. If police departments followed the Obama Administration’s logic about suspects, then they would shoot every innocent person in the immediate vicinity of a dangerously armed criminal or perhaps anyone who resides in a bad neighborhood.

The fact that a President who has been awarded a Nobel Peace Prize would kill all of the military-aged men in a given area only because it is one where terrorist activity is expected to have occurred is also largely ignored by America's controlled (propaganda) media. Imagine the consternation that would occur within Obama’s base if it were reported that “all of the males old enough to hold a rifle have been killed in a recent drone strike” in each news piece about the latest place the President has taken upon himself to wage illegal, unConstitutional and unjust war.

While all of these occurrences have taken place in far-off lands where the average American does not witness the atrocities of Obama’s drone “war” firsthand, it is becoming increasingly evident that the U.S. government is doing what it can to bring drone strikes and “militant” killings to the homeland.

The National Defense Authorization Act that Obama signed into law earlier this year effectively removes Americans’ expectation to fair trial and provides the Federal government the right to detain U.S. citizens on U.S. soil if they are suspected of being, or working with, terrorists. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security has spent the past several years making it possible to label almost any activity as suspect terrorism, and the FBI has spent, and is spending, a good portion of its time creating domestic terrorists out of thin air.

Using the fear that it has been able to put into the hearts of the American populace with manufactured domestic terror, the Federal government has convinced the Nation to accept drones over domestic skies. They are already being used for law enforcement and border patrol, and some people believe they will likely become more and more heavily armed in the next few years. Is it only a matter of time before Americans hear about drone strikes killing groups of “militants” in remote parts of the United States?
