Dr. Paul Kengor is a professor of political science at Grove City College in Pennsylvania, a school that ranks with Hillsdale College in Michigan as one of the nation\u2019s finest, but least known, liberal arts colleges.\u00a0 Kengor is the author of The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism; William P. Clark, Ronald Reagan’s Top Hand; <\/em>and God and Hillary Clinton: A Spiritual Life.<\/em><\/p>\n

In his most recent book: Dupes: How America’s Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century, <\/em>Kengor makes the point that American Communists have always been quite realistic about their inability to impose a Soviet-style Communist regime on the American people.\u00a0 He writes, \u201cWe now know that American Communists and their masters in Moscow were acutely aware that they could never gain the popular support they needed to enlist the support of a much wider coalition that could help them push their private agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

But what should be most distressing for Americans is Dr. Kengor\u2019s discovery that \u201cit was nothing short of stunning to research this book during the presidential bid of Barack Obama and hear so many of the names in my research surface repeatedly in the background of the man who became president of the United States of America.\u00a0 The way in which so many names and themes from the Cold War past aligned and made their way into Obama\u2019s orbit was chilling.\u201d<\/p>\n

As conservative Alan Caruba points out in his December 12 column, America\u2019s Communist President, <\/em>\u201cObama\u2019s December 8th<\/sup> speech in Osawatomie, Kansas revealed to anyone paying attention that the president is a Communist.\u201d\u00a0 Referring to the free market system that has made this the most prosperous nation on Earth, Obama said, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t work.\u00a0 It has never worked.\u201d<\/p>\n

It brings to mind an article titled The First Time I Heard of Barack<\/em>, by Tom Fife, first published on November 20, 2008, and which has been held in reserve on countless computer hard drives, awaiting confirmation of its legitimacy.\u00a0 Fife wrote, \u201cIn the period of roughly February 1992 to mid 1994, I was making frequent trips to Moscow, Russia, in the process of starting a software development joint-venture company with some people from the Russian scientific community. \u00a0One of the men in charge on the Russian side was named V. M.; he had a wife named T.M.\u00a0 \u201cV. was a level-headed scientist while his wife was rather deeply committed to the losing Communist cause \u2013 a cause she obviously was not abandoning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fife goes on to describe a dinner party at the Russian couple\u2019s Moscow apartment early in 1992. He tells us that, as the evening progressed and the dinner conversation became more and more political in nature, Mrs. M. \u201cdeveloped a decidedly anti-American edge.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Fife, she said, \u201cYou Americans always like to think that you have the perfect government and your people are always so perfect. \u00a0Well then, why haven\u2019t you had a woman president by now? \u00a0You had a chance to vote for a woman vice-president and you didn\u2019t do it\u2026 Well, I think you are going to be surprised when you get a black president very soon.\u201d\u00a0 The Americans responded matter-of-factly that there was nothing to bar a black person from being elected president and that, given the right person and the right circumstances\u2026 \u201cAmerica would try to vote for the right person, be he or she black or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not satisfied with that response, Mrs. M. continued, \u201cWhat if I told you that you will have a black president very soon and he will be a Communist?\u201d<\/p>\n

Fife reports that the Americans stared at her in disbelief.\u00a0 One responded, \u201cIt sounds like you know something we don’t know.\u201d\u00a0 To which Mrs. M. replied, \u201cYes, it is true. \u00a0This is not some idle talk. \u00a0He is already born and he is educated and being groomed to be president right now. \u00a0You will be impressed to know that he has gone to the best schools of Presidents. \u00a0He is what you call \u2018Ivy League.\u2019 \u00a0You don’t believe me, but he is real and I even know his name. \u00a0His name is Barack. \u00a0His mother is white and American and his father is black from Africa. \u00a0That\u2019s right, a chocolate baby! \u00a0And he\u2019s going to be your President.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Fife reported, the woman then became much more specific, saying that the man being groomed for the presidency was from Hawaii, that he went to school in California, that he lived in Chicago, and that he would soon be elected to the state legislature.\u00a0 She said, \u201cHave no doubt; he is one of us, a Soviet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most who are aware of the Fife article question its authenticity.\u00a0 Is it fact or fiction?\u00a0 Does Fife really exist?\u00a0 Did the 1992 dinner party in Moscow really happen?\u00a0 While the Fife article is still available on the Internet, it has yet to be proven or disproven and Fife is a difficult man to track down.\u00a0 And while the story of the dinner party conversation in Moscow may be pure fiction, the specifics appear to fit nicely with what we actually know about Obama\u2019s path to power.<\/p>\n

For example, we know that a young black man from Hawaii who was educated in California and in Ivy League schools, lived in Chicago, entered American politics, was elected to the Illinois state senate and to the U.S. Senate, and later became president.\u00a0 We know that to be true.<\/p>\n

We are also aware that Democrats in Congress attempted to amend the U.S. Constitution to make it possible for an individual who is not a \u201cnatural born\u201d U.S. citizen to serve as president or vice president.\u00a0 The first of these attempts was made in June 2003, followed by a second attempt in September 2003, a year before<\/em> Obama exploded onto the national scene as keynote speaker at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.\u00a0 Was that pure coincidence, or are we allowed to suspect that it might have been part of some grand international conspiracy?<\/p>\n

If the \u201cnatural born Citizen\u201d requirement of the U,S. Constitution has not represented a major problem at any time in history, why were Democrats suddenly so concerned about it in 2003 when a young black man, fathered by an African Communist, raised by a radical left mother and grandparents, and mentored by a well-known black Communist, was emerging as a rising star in the Democratic Party?\u00a0 Was it pure coincidence, or was it part of a grand conspiracy?<\/p>\n

Obama was elected to the Illinois State Senate in 1996, one of 6,978 state legislators in the United States.\u00a0 He served eight totally unremarkable years in the legislature\u2026 voting \u201cpresent\u201d on some 129 occasions so as not to create a record that might later be difficult to defend\u2026 before announcing his candidacy for the United States Senate in 2004.\u00a0 Then, months before being elected to the U.S. Senate, he was selected to deliver the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.\u00a0 Of the thousands of capable young Democrats available to them\u2026 men and women of experience and accomplishment\u2026 why did convention officials find it necessary to award that \u201cplum\u201d to a young man who had accomplished little or nothing in his life?\u00a0 Was his name drawn out of a hat, or was his selection dictated by a grand international conspiracy?<\/p>\n

Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate in November 2004 and was sworn into office on January 4, 2005.\u00a0 Almost immediately, he launched his campaign for the presidency.\u00a0\u00a0 In the ensuing three years he devoted most of his time to his presidential ambitions and on August 28, 2008 he defeated Hillary Rodham Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination. \u00a0Was his victory over the vaunted Clinton machine the result of tactical superiority, or was it purchased for him?<\/p>\n

Following his nomination, when the Chairman and the Secretary of the Democratic National Convention, Nancy Pelosi and Alice Travis Germond, respectively, were required to certify the names, home addresses, and qualifications of their candidates to the election boards of the 50 states, so that ballots could be printed, why did they certify to only one state, the State of Hawaii, that Obama and Biden were eligible to serve under provisions of the U.S. Constitution?<\/p>\n

So the question arises, what role did the Communist Frank Marshall Davis, Obama\u2019s childhood mentor, play in his intellectual development?\u00a0 And what did two Democratic Congressmen know that caused them to offer proposed constitutional amendments in 2003 that would benefit no one but Obama in 2008?\u00a0 Specifically, what did they know about Obama\u2019s presidential ambitions and his inability to meet the \u201cnatural born Citizen\u201d standard, and when did they know it?\u00a0 And why did Speaker Pelosi, third in line to the presidency, purposely aid and abet in the commission of a felony by purposely hiding from state election board officials, and from the American people, the fact that the man nominated for President of the United States at the 2008 Democratic National Convention was, in fact, ineligible to serve in that office?<\/p>\n

The speech that Obama delivered at Osawatomie, Kansas was a speech that could just as easily have been delivered in the Presidium of the Communist Party, USSR. \u00a0Now, as Republicans focus on the Iowa caucuses, they must choose a candidate capable of convincing the American people that everything that Obama has accomplished in eight years can and must be undone. \u00a0But first, they must nominate a candidate who can not only defeat Obama, but defeat him utterly and completely.\u00a0 His defeat must be of such a magnitude that he will not want to remain in the country that he has been taught from childhood to hate\u2026 and where he will be forever an object of derision.\u00a0 Short of impeachment and conviction, it is the only thing that will send the proper message to those who put him where he is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
