This is not a joke. Really, it’s not, and President Obama not only see dead people, he actively joins them in conversation and even takes orders from them, including what policies to implement in the governing of America.
Barack Obama Sr.
According to the kooks on the right of the Republican party, America, through the leadership of Barack Obama is not being run by Barack Obama. The nut-jobs are now trying to convince Americans that the person truly in charge of all decision making in this country is Barack Obama’s father, the deceased Obama Sr. Again, this is not a joke. They want us to believe that America is being run now by a ghost!
The article, which is being quoted by right-winged extremist like Newt Gingrich, is a 3393 word rambling diatribe, written by right winged extremist, Dinesh D’Souza. In the article, President Obama is criticized for trying to implement policies that were once in effect before George Bush took office.
The entire premise of the article – from it’s very first sentence that “Barack Obama is the most antibusiness president in a generation,” to its outlandish conclusion that President Obama must be sneaking off into the darkness of the White House with his Ouija board to get governing instructions from his dead father – is all about one thing. The GOP’s battle cry: Tax Cuts for the wealthy.
Ok. Well maybe the words, “Ouija board” weren’t used, but they were definitely implied. To quote from the article;
“Incredibly, the U.S. is being ruled according to the dreams of a Luo tribesman of the 1950s. This philandering, inebriated African socialist, who raged against the world for denying him the realization of his anticolonial ambitions, is now setting the nation’s agenda through the reincarnation of his dreams in his son. The son makes it happen, but he candidly admits he is only living out his father’s dream. The invisible father provides the inspiration, and the son dutifully gets the job done. America today is governed by a ghost.”
The one sided article points to certain passages in Barack Obama’s book, Dreams From my Father, and the laughable effort to make the connection that President Obama takes orders from his father is made. The article states;
“his dream is his father’s dream. Notice that his title is not Dreams of My Father but rather Dreams from My Father. Obama isn’t writing about his father’s dreams; he is writing about the dreams he received from his father.”
On and on the article goes, trying to tell Americans that President Obama is channeling his father’s wishes. This channeling evidently, is only be done through a secret CIA program set up in the dungeons of the White House with specific orders to communicate with dead people.
So then, what exactly is Obama’s dead father’s wish for America? Well have no fear; the right winged loonies have an answer for that too.
You see, according to the article, the deceased Obama Sr. wishes to distribute wealth in Africa, from the rich to the poor. The article quotes a passage written by Obama Sr. in 1965, in which he states, “Is it the African who owns this country (Africa)? If he does, then why should he not control the economic means of growth in this country?”
This want or need to control the economic means of growth in ones own country, according to the article, is called the anticolonial ideology. For this ideology to work however, it must be had by someone in a third world country that’s had its resources dominated by bigger occupying countries.
The quote stated in the article as belonging to Obama Sr. in 1965, was a reference to Africa’s resources being consumed by western countries, and how these resources are making these countries richer, while the citizens of Africa suffers. So according to the author of the article, Dinesh D’Souza, when Obama Sr. asked the question of why should Africans not be in control of their own economic means of growth in their country, this demonstrated an anticolonial ideology. And it’s this ideology that’s being channeled and instituted in America by the Barack Obama Jr.
No, this is not a joke! Mr. Dinesh D’Souza goes on, drawing far reaching conclusions where there aren’t any, then he tries to tie the deceased Obama with the president on the overall subject of the piece, by suggesting that eliminating the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy is where President Obama demonstrates his anticolonial ideology. Mr. D’Souza claims;
“If Obama shares his father’s anticolonial crusade, that would explain why he wants people who are already paying close to 50% of their income in overall taxes to pay even more.”
Although there were many, one of the most outlandish claims of this article was that Neil Armstrong too, somehow shares the anticolonial ideology when he landed Apollo 11 on the moon on July 20th, 1969. If we remember correctly,
Neil Armstrong
Neil Armstrong, after taking his first steps on the moon’s surface said, that it was “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
This statement, according to Dinesh D’Souza, was not a giant leap for mankind, but a win for America, because America and Russia were in a race to land the first man on the moon. So this sharing of the victory with mankind was an example of the anticolonial ideology, and by Obama asking NASA to reach out more to the Muslim world, was his way of agreeing with Neil Armstrong. This was President Obama’s way of taking away America’s victory in reaching the surface of the moon, and sharing it with mankind all over the world.
In a final show of desperation to create a connection or a commune or communication between the father and son, D’Souza quotes the president again. This time, recalling Obama’s feelings when he visited the grave where his father is buried in Kenya Africa. D’Souza calles this recollection of the President, the “climax of Obama’s narrative.” The piece said;
“When my tears were finally spent, I felt a calmness wash over me. I felt the circle finally close. I realized that who I was, what I cared about, was no longer just a matter of intellect or obligation, no longer a construct of words. I saw that my life in America–the black life, the white life, the sense of abandonment I’d felt as a boy, the frustration and hope I’d witnessed in Chicago–all of it was connected with this small piece of earth an ocean away, connected by more than the accident of a name or the color of my skin. The pain that I felt was my father’s pain.”
This is not a joke!
I’m not sure of Mr. D’Souza’s character, and if I’m left to judge him based solely on this article, I will say his character is not too deep, and have decided to let his politics dictate his reality, or lack thereof. What I can say however, is that basing this article and his theory of the relationship between a deceased father and his living son is nothing short of ludicrous.
President Barack Obama
It might also be a safe bet to arrive at the conclusion that D’Souza have not suffered the passing of a loved one. Or never had he went to a grave site and remembered the life that was lost. Shed a tear, or remembered the memories that was shared. Have he ever spent quite time at that grave, thinking of how things were and how they could have been better?
The views expressed in President Obama’s books showed a man who longed for identity. He felt abandoned at times by his father and expressed a need to know more about his roots. And for the brief time Mr. Obama actually knew his father, he did what every son his age would do – he saw a man who did no wrong and held his father up to a high plateau.
This concept is familiar with Americans, including those in the GOP Party. However, when it comes to President Obama, that familiarity goes out the window and is quickly replaced with conspiracy theories of the right winged kooks. It no longer becomes a son longing for his deceased father, weeping at his grave. It now becomes a ghost speaking and working through his son to see his wishes he had while alive, are now fulfilled. And when that son is the President of the United States and a member of the opposition, then the GOP Kooks come out swinging daily, with these foolish conspiracy theories that unfortunately get’s the attention of people like Newt Gingrich.
So the latest theory now is Obama Sr., an economist who died in 1982 at the age of 46, was an anticolonial enthusiast. He was a man who believed that the citizens of a country should be the ones who benefit from the resources of their country. Somehow, these right winged nuts are trying to tie this horrendous belief on President Obama, and they are using the the expiration of the Bush Tax Cuts to label President Obama as a man who wants to take away the riches of the wealthy and spread that wealth around to the rest of the country’s citizenry.
It should be noted that these tax cuts were scheduled to expire after 10 years, and President Obama wants to put them back to what they were under the leadership of President Bill Clinton.
It is clear to see that Dinesh D’Souza is a certified nut. It is all fine to disagree with the president or his policies, but the theories put forth in his article reminds me of a mad scientist, locked away in his basement, trying out different mixtures and equations to come up with something sensible. And along the way, there will be mistakes. This article was not a success, but a huge failure. It’s back to the drawing board for this nutjob.
