New York Times Sat On Article By Obama Proving He Was A Raving, Anti-Military, Leftist Kook
Just how long was the New York Times sitting on this article?

During the campaign, I wrote a piece called “Why Won’t Obama Talk About Columbia? — The years he won’t discuss may explain the Ayers tie he keeps lying about.” So now, nearly six months into the Obama presidency, the mainstream media has finally done a bit of the candidate background reporting it declined to do during the campaign — other than in Wasilla — and whaddya know? The New York Times unearthed a 1983 article called, “Breaking the War Mentality,” that Columbia student Barack Obama wrote for a campus newspaper. The article shows that Obama dreaded American “militarism” and its “military-industrial interests,” while effusing enthusiasm for the dangerously delusional nuclear-freeze movement.
Moreover, while indicating a preference for the political wisdom of reggae singer Peter Tosh over Ronald Reagan or Scoop Jackson, Obama bewailed the “narrow focus” of anti-militarism activists, worrying that they were targeting the “symptoms” rather than the real “disease,” namely, America’s underlying economic and political injustice:
Generally, the narrow focus of the [Nuclear] Freeze movement as well as academic discussions of first versus second strike capabilities, suit the military-industrial interests, as they continue adding to their billion dollar erector sets. When Peter Tosh sings that “everybody’s asking for peace, but nobody’s asking for justice,” one is forced to wonder whether disarmament or arms control issues, severed from economic and political issues, might be another instance of focusing on the symptoms of a problem instead of the disease itself.
Obama nevertheless did see some advantage in homing in on a small target:
Mark Bigelow [a graduate student who helped run "Arms Race Alternatives" (ARA), another of the campus organizations lauded in Obama's article] … points to fruitful work being done by other organizations involved with disarmament. “The Freeze is one part of a whole disarmament movement. The lowest common denominator, so to speak. For instance, April 10-16 is Jobs for Peac [sic] week, with a bunch of things going on around the city. Also, the New York City Council may pass a resolution in April calling for greater social as opposed to military spending. Things like this may dispell the idea that disarmament is a white issue, because how the government spends its revenue affects everyone.”
Obama, the budding community-organizer, also took time to praise “Students Against Militarism, an obscure campus group more ambitious in scope than ARA:
Also operating out of Earl Hall Center, Students Against Militarism was formed in response to the passage of [military draft] registration laws in 1980. An entirely student-run organizatoin, SAM casts a wider net than ARA, though for the purposes of effectiveness, they have tried to lock in on one issue at a time.
“At the heart of our organization is an anti-war focus”, says junior Robert Kahn, one of SAM’s fifteen or so active members. “From there, a lot of issues shoot forth — nukes, racism, the draft, and South Africa. “We have been better organized when taking one issue at a time, but we are always cognizant of other things going on, and collaborate frequently with other campus organizations like CISPES and REEL-POLITIK.” [Quotation break in original.]
Student Obama summed up with near incoherent Lefty gobbledygook:
Indeed, the most pervasive malady of the collegiate system specifically, and the American experience generally, is that elaborate patterns of knowledge and theory have been disembodied from individual choices and government policy. What the members of ARA and SAM try to do is infuse what they have learned about the current situation, bring the words of that formidable roster on the face of Butler Library, names like Thoreau, Jefferson, and Whitman, to bear on the twisted logic of which we are today a part. By adding their energy and effort in order to enhance the possibility of a decent world, they may help deprive us of a spectacular experience — that of war. But then, there are some things we shouldn’t have to live through in order to want to avoid the experience.
Who knew?
Nice as it is of the media to scratch the surface journalists should have been mining over a year ago, the current disastrous straits for the country are that — as Jen Rubin contends at contentions — the Obama who is off to Russia to cut unratifiable deals with the recrudescent Soviets hasn’t really changed in the ensuing quarter-century.

So this just gives us more light on a subject we all knew but no one would tell. What do we do with this. Its just an example of our how we were betrayed by all those hiding the truth of not just oboma but all those taking our country down little by little so we wouldn’t notice. It could only happen in small bits so we couldn’t quite see how wrong things really were. Now with it all in our face we didn’t see it coming. We are like the deer in the head lights. The decisions we Americans make now will tell us if the deer lives or dies. So America which will it be die or live? We only have one choice mine is to live free or die trying.
The Journalists sold America the farm, unfortunately the rest with any sense got throw’d in the slop.
What a ruse.
The Times will now point to this article — a year too late in the making — as evidence that they are not the official mouthpiece of the state (could that be the Washington Post?).
So they delve into his past.
Big deal.
He’s cementing himself into the Oval Office and quietly plotting a Chavez-like ploy to be ruler for life.
Thanks for the help there Fourth Estate!
Agreed……too little too late.
Obummer’s entire article reads like a dissertation by an illiterate English major. Reading it made my head hurt. It also reminded me of when I worked in a civilian capacity for the Air Force. Documents like that would roll across the desk, and no matter how many times you read them, at the end of the paragraph you’re left thinking, “What the hell were they trying so say? Maybe if I read it again…”
However, I AM encouraged by the small web of cracks spreading across the MSM’s dam. Could it be they’re tired of sucking Obummer’s cock? Is it possible?
It’s called Cultural Marxist Twistspeak.
It is not meant to be understood. It’s meant to deliberatly confuse under the guise of “intellectual discourse” so you just pause loose your train of thought and give up which at that point they hope you walk away.
Been there seen it.
Our focus needs to be clear concise to the point.
No frills No 50 letter words disguised as Intellectualism No pontificating
Just honesty and frankness. See President Reagan as an example
OK…So that’s one thing they hid.
What about everything else? There has to be ONE person in the media that has a backbone to expose this shit to it’s full extent. Never mind….No there isn’t.
This just underscores the need for the new media.
I hope the MSM dies a slow, painful death…Actually I’ll take fast and painful.
Apparently the Reverned Wright was to the right of Barak Obama.
1983 eh?
It’s called cocaine induced affirmative action dissonance. Still an affliction on Him and us.
Barry’s husband Michelle suffered similarly at Princeton.
Nothing but honest investigative journalism here

This article posted as Obama is in Russia negotiating disarmament with them. Just saw in the small print on Fox News that they came to some sort of “reset” deal. Why isn’t the chopping off of our nations balls not on the front page of every papaer in this country. Even on Fox it isn’t at the top.
WAS????????
Gee, Waldo, what are they hiding behind curtain #2? Or would you like to see behind curtain #3?
Did these fuckn’ idiots ever go to class
I think not.
Sure - you actually see them in the act of getting extra credit from their Marxist professor.
This accumulates the personality profile of this man. Very, very troubling, especially since he is free to do as he pleases.
And to say that he will disarm america durning the campaign. What were the idoit thinking who voted for this dope? I know they were not thinking.The media played with their minds.oh wait, they had no minds to play with.REALLY, if they could not go other places and search the truth as well as listen to what this non citizen fraud was saying will, I say they need a brain transplant! He is trying to leave America dry and ready to lower the boom. The thing is what about the children of those idiots who sat with a closed mind and gave their children to this fraud ? The media is sick !!!!!! If you have not shut them down, well do so now.Why watch main stream media who sold our country who will make money by us watching them. Shut them down fight them that way! There is something going on as about 3 years ago as walking to another part of a house,the media said “IS AMERICA FOR SALE” I didn’t catch it all ! and another soon after.Ben Ladin said “We will get hit from the East-West-North-South and in the middle and our day is coming soon” Now what’s that tell you ? Look at all that this fraud is doing..He and Michell as will as comgress which by the way the democrats were in congress as the republicans kept telling them they need to get Fannie Mae and the banks regularlated.Water-Barney and the rest of the democrat in congress said nothing wrong.The republicans kept telling them we will see this coming what we see now today…And the main stream media put the blame on the republicans.see the games the media and democrats were playing.Yes Obama and MO as well as the CEO of Fannie Mae was in a big building with alot of people 2004 the CVEO said that fannie Mae is having fiancial difficultilys but however will continue giving out the loans”MO clapping as hard as she can and the nasty face she made..stiff like…this was the plan to give loans to those who they knew could not pay back only to tear america down.Why else would any banks keep giving and giving.????
Obama was born in kenya!many saw his grandma say so that she was in the deliverly room when he was born.the was taken down by Obama camp and those congress…
After shutting down every ignorant comment made by those who are brainwashed by the MSM, after you have successfully shut down their every argument, they are left with two things. Either they say “it doesn’t matter” or “but what about Bush”. All they are concerned with is Obama helping them put gas in the car and paying their rent. Of course we know the truth, if it were false, the papers would be released to the public in order to prove us wrong but that hasn’t and will not happen. As for approaching the end, we’re already here. Our gov’t has sold us out. They don’t listen to anyone but the lobbyist and it’s also our fault because we keep electing the same butt munchers over and over again.

Who is the joker who is not running live feed of the “M.J.” history making event going on RIGHT NOW??
just kidding–glad there is something and someplace else that has truely important things to see and read.
Thanks Pat
Amen.
This has always been the Democratic stand against the
military,it didn’t start with Bill Clinton, but even
before WWI, and it has always been this way. Bill clintons surplus was made over the backs of the military and then blamed Bush for the lack of armored
vehicles. It won’t be long before the Democ-rats will
try to eliminate the pensions of military retirees?
God Bless America and its fighting personnel. Paul
