Glenn Beck Reveals President
Obama’s Deep Socialist Roots
By Peter J. Smith
WASHINGTON,
D.C., April 7, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com)
– Conservative commentator Glenn
Beck revealed on his FOX News television
show that President Obama’s upbringing
was steeped in socialism, the primary
political ideology that Beck contends
formed the man who has made clear he
intends to “fundamentally transform
America.”
While
Beck emphasized repeatedly that he was
not attacking Obama’s family,
he said that Americans should know the
philosophical foundations of Obama’s
life and that “the tragedy of
this kid’s childhood is staggering."
“His
parents seemed to place radical politics
over everything else, including their
little boy,” said Beck. “How
many of us have been abandoned for a
Marxist political theory or politics?
This didn’t happen to little Barack
Obama once, but twice, by both parents.”
Obama’s
father, Barack Obama, Sr., Beck described
as “a committed communist,”
who left his son at the tender age of
two to pursue his Harvard education
as an economist and then return to Kenya
as a bureaucrat. The Senior Obama advised
Kenya’s government to redistribute
income by higher taxes, and would also
quote Marx to express his distrust of
the capitalist system.
Regarding
Stanley Ann Dunham, the U.S. president's
mother, Beck said that a friend of Dunham
described her as a “fellow traveler”
– a code word for committed Marxists
– and she was alleged to be a
practitioner of “critical theory,”
which Beck described as “Marx
to the extreme.”
Beck
pointed out that Obama himself described
his mother in his autobiography Dreams
of My Father as “the dominant
figure in my formative years,”
and said that “The values she
taught me continue to be my touchstone
when it comes to how I go about the
words of politics.”
“I’m
sure she was a great mom,” Beck
said of Dunham, but he emphasized that
the passage showed that his mother had
a critical ideological influence on
Obama and his political vision.
Dunham
moved from Hawaii to Indonesia, and
later left her son with her parents
in order to pursue a life for herself
in Pakistan, according to the pundit.
Although
Obama portrayed his mother’s parents
in his autobiography as “conservative
Methodists and Baptists from Kansas,”
Beck said that the available evidence
revealed a different story.
Beck
said Obama’s grandparents, who
raised Obama while he was in high school,
actually attended the Eastshore Unitarian
Church in Bellevue, Washington - a hotbed
of radical leftists. He said the church
was described by the Chicago Tribune
as the “little red church on the
hill,” and that communist John
Stenhouse “also happened to serve
as the church president - possibly contributing
to the ‘red’ label.”
In
addition, said Beck, Barack’s
grandfather introduced Obama to a Black
communist to be his personal mentor.
Obama would only identify the mentor
in his autobiography as “Frank,”
but Beck pointed to a New Zealand blogger
who claimed to discover that Obama was
referring to Frank Marshall Davis, “a
black poet and a communist with an FBI
file.”
“It
is amazing to me, this kid didn’t
have a chance to be rooted in the Founding
Fathers, this guy doesn’t have
a chance to actually think anything
but radical thoughts based on everybody
on his life so far,” exclaimed
Beck.
Again,
Beck pointed to Obama’s autobiography
where he includes “the Marxist
professors” among those friends
whom he said he chose carefully.
Beck
concluded that the trajectory of Obama’s
life shows the President has always
been influenced mainly by Marxist/socialist
theory, even in the selection of his
church, which he attended for over 20
years: Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s
Trinity United Church, which espoused
“black liberation theology –
Marxism.”
“When,
when did he change?” said Beck,
arguing that no evidence exists to even
indicate how, when, or why Obama would
have had a fundamental political conversion
from his Marxist/socialist roots.
“When
you build the house, the first thing
you do is pour a foundation. He wants
to fundamentally transform this county.
He is the architect and they are building
something,” concluded Beck.
“We
know what his foundation is. What is
he building on that foundation?”
