New Obama slogan has long ties to Marxism, socialism

The Obama campaign apparently didn't look backwards into history when selecting its new campaign slogan, "Forward" â€” 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 Won't Tell You About Impending Taxes And Cuts
Investor's Business Daily, by Editorial

Budget: Congressional Democrats plan massive tax increases and crippling defense cuts after November. Why not now? Because the voters would realize the Obama presidency has set the stage for fiscal catastrophe.

'The way to deal with sequestration is put revenues on the table." That is third-ranking Senate Democrat Charles Schumer of New York's coded way of telling congressional Republicans that if you want to prevent the budgetary devastation of the U.S. military, you'll have to break your promises to voters and agree to major tax hikes.

After the presidential and congressional elections this November, a lame-duck Congress will address an impending fiscal calamity.

Without action, the Bush tax cuts once again are set to expire at the end of the year and some $110 billion in indiscriminate, across-the-board spending cuts will take place automatically. House Speaker John Boehner is already wisely demanding "cuts and reforms greater than" any debt limit increase.

Heritage Foundation senior fellow and former Treasury Department tax economist J.D. Foster recently warned that on New Year's Day, "some $494 billion in tax hikes will crash down on America's taxpayers and economy" â€” not just the expiration of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts that gave us a boom and cut unemployment to under 5%, but "a jump in the payroll tax rate," "the return of the death tax," " a bigger, badder" Alternative Minimum Tax, and the tax hikes for ObamaCare.

Lugar is one of the few remaining moderate commom sense republicans left who are not batshit crazy extremists.

Quote:

Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said Democrat Obamaâ€™s efforts to work with U.S. allies and impose strict sanctions on Iran is the correct policy. In an interview with Bloomberg Televisionâ€™s â€œPolitical Capital with Al Hunt,â€ Lugar said that there â€œwill be hell to payâ€ if those calling for war with Iran are successful.

â€œThe implications for the Israeli people here are very severe,â€ said Luger, 80, who is leaving the Senate after 36 years following his defeat in a primary in May. â€œThe idea of moving with our allies, as many as we can find, on effective sanctions on the country has been the right move.â€

Richard Lugar loses primary nomination to conservative challenger Richard Mourdock

By Paul Kane, Published: May 8

Republican Sen. Richard G. Lugar of Indiana, a 35-year member of the Senate and one of Washingtonâ€™s leading experts on U.S. foreign policy, lost his bid for reelection Tuesday after a conservative backlash inside the GOP denied him his partyâ€™s nomination for a seventh term.

Lugarâ€™s loss â€” the first for a senator this year â€” appears to be another victory for the tea party conservatives who roiled the Republican Party in 2010 when they defeated two GOP senators in primaries and knocked off several more establishment favorites in open Senate primaries.

Thank you baggers for nominating a batshit crazy extremist, Lugar would've been a shoe-in.

Brian Howey: Can a made-over Mourdock make it in November?
Sep 28, 2012
Brian Howey
With Colorado, Delaware and Nevada nagging reminders of how a tea party candidate can botch a Senate race â€” and a potential majority, which happened in 2010 â€” Indiana Republicans remain in danger of losing a Senate seat.

GOP nominee Richard Mourdock trails Democrat Joe Donnelly 40 percent to 38 percent in the latest Howey/DePauw Indiana Battleground Poll. Libertarian nominee Andrew Horning is pulling 7 percent, perhaps bleeding away crucial support for the candidate who upset U.S. Sen. Dick Lugar in the May primary.

Shocker: Russia Wants Obama To Win Reelection

Flashback: Open mic catches Obama instructing outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev to tell Putin he will have â€œmore flexibilityâ€ if he wins a second term.

Quote:

MOSCOW, Russia â€” Experts say the Kremlin would like to see President Barack Obama beat Mitt Romney in the US election next month â€” although you may be hard-pressed to divine that from recent developments.

On Monday last week, the US Agency for International Development, USAID, wrapped up its 20 years of work in Russia on orders from the Kremlin.

Two days later, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov took a swipe at Obamaâ€™s policy of improving ties with Russia by warning that perpetually â€œresetâ€ relations would constitute a â€œprogram failure.â€

Later the same day, the US Justice Department charged 11 alleged Russian agents with stealing electronic technology for Moscow through a front company based in the United States.

Those were only the latest installments in four years of â€œresetâ€ relations that have been strained by disagreement over American missile defense plans in Europe, an impasse on Syria, Vladimir Putinâ€™s return as president and generally fractious politics in Russia and the United States.

Shocker: Obama Wonâ€™t Call On Senate Democrats To Pass A Budget

Quote:

President Obama will not call for Senate Democrats to pass a budget in exchange for a debt ceiling hike, his spokesman said while refusing to say if a budget is important to managing the nationâ€™s financial affairs.

â€œCongress â€” the Senate, the House â€” should act to raise the debt ceiling,â€ White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said today during the press briefing. â€œThis is not a negotiation the White House is going to have.â€

Asked if the budget â€” which has not been passed in over three years â€” â€œis more important than ever,â€ Carney replied, â€œThatâ€™s a question for the Senate.â€

Carney was responding to a report from The Washington Examinerâ€™s Byron York that Senate Republicans are moving to demand a budget.

The social security withholding rate has been 6.2% since 1990. It's common knowledge among people who work for a living. The withholding rate was decreased to 4.2% in 2011 as part of the stimulus package.That tax break has lapsed and social security tax is once again 6.2%. Which means two things. #1 The social security tax rate is the same as it was in 2009 when President Obama made that statement. #2 Once again you have proven you have no idea WTF you are talking about!
