Actually it was Dan Peterson who said...


No, its you who are claiming a mutated "context" that has been distorted and warped by the "right wing" and who is psychoanalyzing Barack Obama and presuming to have a true knowledge of the real meaning of his words for those of us who are interpreting his words based upon a substantive knowledge of his ideology grounded in all of his past associations and political activities, and the overwhelming weight of the policies he has supported thus far.

Obama accidentally gave us a quick glimpse into his Socialist psyche,


I'm not sure it was accidental, but the "spread the wealth around" statement to Joe the Plumber certainly was, and just as indicative of just what makes Obama tick.


or something to that effect. And this, based on the out of context remark he refused to put in context for us.


Here's the rub: your claim that conservative understanding of his statement is out of context is a pure speculation on your part, and is not at all clear given the body of the text of his speech. There is no reason to take it seriously given either Obama's now well understood political past, or four years of his administration.

Reasonable, and more importantly, honest readers will note the context of what was said and further understand that the only way people like you and Dan Peterson can continue to propagate these lies is by flat out ignoring the context.


Wholly subjective, on your part. l see no decontextualization whatever here, but a clear indication of everything Obama has believed, supported, and pursued since his days as an avowed Marxist revolutionary at university.

Thanks to people like Loran Blood, they feel confident that can succeed with such deceptions.


It is you, my friend, who is being less than intellectually honest. Barack Obama is a Marxist and an incremental, evolutionary socialist. He is a believer and disciple of the "long march." There is no indication that this man has a classical liberal bone in his entire body. His entire childhood and youth were bathed in revolutionary communist and socialist ideology and attitudes, and we know he pursued these, in various forms, throughout his academic and community organizing career, including his long association with William Ayers.

The sixties New Left, still casting the long shadow of the old Left, is now in power in the executive branch, and throughout much of the legislative.

Film at eleven.

The film, Best in Show, had commentator Fred Willard turn to his co host and make the amusingly random statement; "Ask me how much I can bench press".

If I knew how to navigate Facebook, I would create an " I'm a fan of Daniel Peterson skipping a grade"page.

Perhaps this little self administered pat on the back was the intended take away message.

Obama needs a little help by way of creative reinterpretation to turn him into the Marxist bogeyman that the Teapublicans needs him to be in order to get the dangerously undiplomatic black hole of personal charisma Mitt Romney elected.

Yup. He's one of those examples of paradoxical reaction. He actually gets more clarity from being inebriated. Sadly, the WoW keeps him in this muddled state.

The day I first came across a post in which Peterson expressed political views that sounded like he might be angling for a new career in 'conservative' talk radio, I felt released from any moral responsibility to take him seriously. Truly it was a relief, for taking him seriously is exhausting. It was also disappointing, kind of like reading 'Abraham in Egypt' only to discover that Nibley was quite possibly looney, and certainly far from credible. I can't believe I bothered to finish it. There's a few hours of my life I'll never get back. :-(

My reaction has been similar. It has been a real let down. I respect rational, well-informed conservatives. Dr. Peterson's political rants on his blog aren't the kind of think a rational, well-informed conservative would write.

I also respect people who tell the truth and don't play head games, in which case, you've just closed the door on that score.

Name a few conservatives you respect, Kish. Just humor me a bit.
