KUHNER: Is Obama fomenting a race war?
Fanning the flames of racial tension in Arizona is deliberate

President Obama is inciting racial division. He rightly fears that the Democrats will suffer huge losses in November's midterm congressional elections. Republicans are within reach of retaking control of the House of Representatives. Even the Senate may be in play. His party's grip on power is threatened - and with it, Mr. Obama's radical socialist agenda.

Fear breeds desperation. Hence, Mr. Obama is resorting to the worst kind of demagoguery: playing the race card. In a video to Democrats, the president embraced identity politics; black, Hispanic and female voters are to be courted at the expense of white middle-class America.

"It will be up to each of you to make sure that the young people, African-Americans, Latinos and women, who powered our victory in 2008, stand together once again," he said.

Mr. Obama conveniently ignored the large chunk of white voters - suburbanites, latte-sipping professionals, environmentalists, labor union members - who voted for him in huge numbers. For Mr. Obama in the 2010 election, whites no longer matter - especially white Christian males.

In recent memory, no president has so deliberately and publicly sought to pit racial and gender groups against each other. The president is not simply the titular head of a party or the leader of government. He is the head of state and embodies the collective will of the American people. He is the president of all Americans - not just certain segments of his electoral coalition. Mr. Obama's rhetoric is reckless. It is fostering civil strife and racial animosity.

Imagine the media uproar had President George W. Bush, for example, in 2006 called for "whites, Southerners, Christians and veterans" to vote for the Republican Party. Mr. Bush would have been excoriated (rightly) for racist and sectarian pandering.

Mr. Obama is fracturing America. He is calling on the primacy of race and gender in order to perpetuate his national socialist revolution. He is championing a revanchist tribalism - the politics of grievance and racial victimology that undermines our common national identity. Just like his old pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Mr. Obama is an anti-American, virulent race-baiter.

Instead of seeing Americans, he classifies people according to their race and gender. Modern liberal identity politics is rooted in fascist doctrine. The most influential philosopher of the 20th century was Martin Heidegger. His 1927 classic work, "Being and Time," is widely acknowledged as profoundly influencing Western thought - especially the academic left and its embrace of postmodernism. It's the very culture from which Mr. Obama - by his own admission - comes.

The German thinker developed the theory of the primacy of race, blood and group identity in a secular, relativistic world. Heidegger rejected eternal Judeo-Christian principles of moral absolutes. Instead, he called for the will to power through racial communities and tribal solidarity. Heidegger adamantly opposed democracy, capitalism and market-oriented growth - denouncing them as unjust and oppressive.

What is conveniently ignored is that Heidegger also was a passionate Nazi. He admired Adolf Hitler. He was a member of the National Socialist Party. Heidegger believed that fascism - with its racialism, neo-paganism, economic corporatism, worship of state power, rabid environmentalism and hatred of Western civilization - represented the true future. Sadly, he may have been right.

Today's Western liberal elites are Heidegger's heirs. For decades, the American left has been obsessed with race, class and gender. It despises America's national heritage and common culture. The Founding Fathers' dream of a republic based on limited government and rugged individualism, the Constitution, the notion of American exceptionalism, our roots as an English-speaking, Christian civilization based on a distinct national identity - these idols must be smashed in the name of progressivism.

Contrary to conventional wisdom, Mr. Obama's presidency is not simply about erecting European-style social democracy. It is more insidious and dangerous than that. It is an attempt at establishing a liberal fascist regime - Heidegger meets Jane Fonda.

The results are similar to what exists in other fascist states: a pliant dominant media, greater government control over all aspects of national life, a bloated public sector, economic sclerosis, a corporatist economy, permanently high unemployment, crushing taxes, a hostility to Jews (Israel), a growing intolerance to dissent, the demonizing of critics and an irrational cult of personality.

The most distinctive characteristic, however, is the incitement of racial conflict. Fascism thrives on fomenting ethnic divisions and hatred, targeting internal race enemies to galvanize supporters behind their leader.

This is what Mr. Obama is doing today. He and his Democratic allies have deliberately fanned the flames of racial tensions over Arizona's immigration law.

The state statute does nothing more than empower local police to enforce existing federal immigration laws. Overrun by Mexican drug cartels, a soaring crime wave and many illegal migrants, Arizona's authorities are taking action to protect the border in the wake of federal government inaction. The state's comprehensive immigration enforcement law is simply patriotic common sense and self-defense.

Mr. Obama, however, has blasted it as "misguided." The liberal media is comparing the law to Hitlerism, a form of apartheid and white supremacy, supposedly for its racial profiling of Hispanics. The Rev. Al Sharpton is leading an economic boycott of the state. The attack on Arizona's immigration law is an attempt to frighten Hispanics into believing that white Arizonans are seeking to impose a racial caste system. It is deliberately playing the races against one another to help Mr. Obama get higher voter turnout among minorities in November.

The consequences are the gradual Balkanization and breakup of America. The mainstream media refuses to report on one overriding reality: Racial violence has broken out in protest of Arizona's law. Gangs of Hispanic protesters in Arizona have been throwing rocks and bottles at police, spitting at them and denouncing them as "pigs." Massive rallies are planned across the country this weekend to demand amnesty for illegal aliens. Event leaders will use Arizona's law as a rallying point to channel ethnic anger and rage.

Mr. Obama is fueling greater ideological, political and racial polarization. Not since the Civil War have Americans been so divided. He is laying the groundwork for a possible race war. Welcome to Mr. Obama's fascist America.

Brenda Walker of Vdare does an outstanding job of pointing out that it is not "racism" or ignorance that spawned Arizona's law but violence- violence by ILLEGAL aliens against US citizens.

Our managed media seems to believe that murdering policemen and raping children as well as drunk driving on a massive scale do not warrant any mention in the news.

It is shocking how fearful the left pretends to be when it comes to flag waving tea partiers but how they themselves contribute to the prospects of a May Day Bloodbath:

A major reason for Arizona to legislate tougher tools for police to use against illegal foreigners has been the worsening crime due to open borders. But the corrupt media refuses to use the opportunity to expand on that subject and explain to the public at large that there illegal immigration is not a victimless crime.

The March murder of rancher Robert Krenz on his own land apparently by an illegal alien certainly caused a lot of outrage and fear in southern Arizona. However the liberal media generally has given the killing short shrift if they mention it at all.

There are many Americans injured and dead from violent attacks and automotive crashes that tough border protection and interior enforcement could have prevented.

In 2008, Gilbert high school student Kelly Tracy was killed in an auto collision with a previously arrested illegal alien. The killer, Manuel Contreras-Galdean, had good quality forged documents and police feared being accused of racial profiling if they inquired into his status.

In Chandler, residents were terrorized by a serial child rapist predator for over a year and half. Illegal alien Santana Batiz-Aceves was sentenced to 168 years in prison for six violent attacks, although it is believed he committed many more. The Chandler Rapist worked as a heavy equipment operator despite his prior felonies for drugs and burglary, as well as being deported three times.

In 2007, I wrote about politically correct police leadership that supports the open-borders agenda while officers were being killed by illegal aliens: The Thin Blue Line Is Compromised at the Top. Among the officers killed were two from Arizona, Mark Atkinson of the Phoenix PD and Kenneth Collings also of Phoenix.

Other Arizona police murdered by illegal aliens since that time include Nick Erfle and Shane Figuroa.

We shouldn’t forget other flavors of crime amped up by Mexican thugs rampaging at will, such as Arizona’s rampant car theft, and Phoenix’s title of the kidnapping capital of the United States.

Worsening crime committed by uninvited foreigners has become part and parcel of life in Arizona today — the backstory which should be told by the media to explain why Arizonans believe they have put up with enough.

Instead, the press has engaged in a racial trash-talking contest, where liberals demonstrate their anti-racist cred, and compete for being the furthest left, such as Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson, who began a recent op-ed (Arizona’s new immigration law is an act of vengeance), “Arizona’s draconian new immigration law is an abomination — racist, arbitrary, oppressive, mean-spirited, unjust.â€

Not since the Civil War have Americans been so divided

Finally someone said what I have been wondering.

Jeff Kuhner is on the most intense and insightful speakers out there. You can catch his show at:

from 12-3 Eastern time.

We have the most racially divisive administration that I've seen in my life time is it by mistake or intent.

"It will be up to each of you to make sure that the young people, African-Americans, Latinos and women, who powered our victory in 2008, stand together once again," he said.

What can be more racist than a statement leaving out the entire number of white males. AND THIS IS OUR PRESIDENT?

www.elvisnixon.com has a list of what Ike,Truman and Hoover did. Compare that with obama and then ask yourself "WHO LOVES AMERICANS and who did not?"

This is surely by intent. More like by design.


Look at all the Chicago appointees..

Chicago was ready to deploy the national guard to So. Chicago because the blacks have been getting their way for so long, due to Obama being their congressman and senator.

just read the 1st chapter of Sean Hannity's CONSERVATIVE VICTORY that will explain it all to you.ABSOLUTE INTENT, The Obama administration is scary to say the least

Progressivism has had episodic success in American history to the general detriment of constitutional government. Moreover, one cannot say it belongs to one political party more than the other, even if progressivism tends to be liberal and the Democrat party more liberal than Republicans. Prominent Republicans have spurred progressivism as much as Democrats. Indeed both major political parties while in the majority overreached the constitutional bounds of government; spent money we did not have; and woefully ignored the insecurity along our southern border. The Tea Party Movement as a political phenomenon attests to the failure of America’s Two Party System in modern time.

Notwithstanding, both presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and President Obama invoked progressivism so explicitly, as to make it the Democrats’ cause primarily in our immediate political context. President Obama imagines that he will shape American social and political policy in ways as substantive in terms of change, as the Progressive Era, the New Deal, and the Great Society put together. This fourth wave of progressivism, however, if it were to happen, would destroy these United States of America. It is on this basis I assert, that the combined effect of elections in 2010 and 2012 will determine whether we shall continue with the American Dream or give it up and become as European style socialist welfare states. We are in fact past a certain tipping point already, with sixty percent of American households receiving more government benefits and services as measured in dollars, than they pay back in taxes.

The estimates concerning the president’s budget show that “net dependencyâ€

Of course Obama is trying to cause a race war. He has literally taken us back to the 60's again.

Our federal government for that matter has always tried to divide the races. For instance today I had to get surgery and one of the government forms was one asking for racial information. The black woman who worked for the hospital was certainly as agreeable as I was that there was no need to ask these questions. What the heck difference does it make if I am black white or green. I am a patient of the hospital. I told her questions like this a re divisive and keep racial difference alive. I expressed to her that I was insulted. Her comments were "tell me bout it. I get offended when I have to give this stuff out."

When our government finally gets to the point that race doesn't exist and we are ALL Americans no matter what color, the racial boundaries will fall. Obama is doing all can can to build bigger walls and I think all people are starting to see it.
