Inform yourself...

Author and Professor of Political Science at Grove City College, Paul Kengor, writes an incredibly revealing and fact finding article over at the American Thinker. Whether you are a liberal, conservative, Democrat, Republican, or Independent voter, this article is a must read. The sad thing is, there are large amounts of journalists who would like nothing more then for you not to read this article and others like it. Why don't we hear about this side of history? Do yourself a favor, politics aside, read this article. One of the topics of the article is how American Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis went on to mentor none other then Barrak Obama- though his story has started to change now that he is in an election year. But putting Obama aside, this article goes into details of how American liberals were used, willingly, by the Communist Party U.S.A (CPUSA)...here's an excerpt:

"...He showed not only that Davis was a communist, but -- listen up, liberals -- how Davis and his comrades worked to undermine genuine liberal causes because of their lock-step subservience to the Comintern and the USSR. Modern liberals need to understand, for example, how the American communist movement, including men like Davis, flip-flopped on issues as grave as Nazism and World War II based entirely on whether Hitler was signing a non-aggression pact with Stalin or invading Stalin's Soviet Union. The disgusting about-face by CPUSA on this matter was unforgivable. And what a shame that liberal college professors don't teach this to their students. Liberals also need to know how their friends inside government were used by communists who sought victory for Mao Tse-Tung in China in 1949, which would lead to the single greatest concentration of corpses in human history: 60-70 million dead Chinese from 1957 to 1969."

"...Where does Obama meet Davis? -- in Hawaii. Similar to Obama, whose mother moved from Kansas to Seattle to Honolulu, with Obama on to Chicago, Frank Marshall Davis went from Kansas to Chicago to Honolulu. Obama freely admits to learning and taking advice from Davis, which surely was nothing like the "Midwestern values" that Governor Kathleen Sebelius (D-KS) claimed his mother learned in Kansas. While most Americans by the late 1970s and early 1980s were at last convinced that détente with the Soviets was a sham, and that the USSR was an Evil Empire that needed to be dissolved, Obama almost certainly was learning exactly the opposite -- moving totally against what Ronald Reagan described as the "tide of history," a "freedom tide" that would "leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash-heap of history."
