Obama Skirts The 'L' Word

by Diana West - February 8th, 2008 - Townhall.com

The National Journal ranked Sen. Barack Obama the No. 1 liberal U.S. senator of 2007. Sen. Hillary Clinton came in somewhat less left-wing at No. 16.

Horrors. According to his press notices, Obama isn't supposed to be any kind of a liberal at all -- let alone "Number One" -- but rather the great non-partisan hand-holder and country re-maker. As in: "We (have to) decide to join hands and remake this country."

Liberal. Extremist. Liberal and extremist are the two words that describe Obama and neither is being used by the MSM to describe him. It is hard to understand why. Listen to him and it is clear the remake of our nation Obama intends is to end free enterprise and turn control of our nation over to government bureacrats. What was it Ronald Reagan said? Beware of anyone who says, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you."

They never are. It is all about power, just as it is about power for Obama. Barack Obama is anti-war. Militantly anti-war for America, just like all of his socialist backers. The anti-war movement here in America has never been honestly anti-war. They are simply anti-war for America. War by anyone against us is always okay.

You can take this to the bank. Barack Obama is exremely partisan just like every other extremist liberal who hates our economic system. Barrack Obama hates free enterprise America. He loves what America can become after he changes it. What does he want to change it to? The same socialist system that has failed everywhere it has been tried. Change you can believe in is not new after all. It is change to the same socialist state the democrats are always pushing for. What is new about that? The happy smile that Obama uses to explain the changes he wants to make?

Meet the liberal extremist Barack Obama. The happy hater.
