On the evening of January 11, 1996, while Mitt Romney was in the final years of his run as the head of Bain Capital, Barack Obama formally joined the New Party, which was deeply hostile to the mainstream of the Democratic party and even to American capitalism. In 2008, candidate Obama deceived the American public about his potentially damaging tie to this third party. The issue remains as fresh as today’s headlines, as Romney argues that Obama is trying to move the United States toward European-style social democracy, which was precisely the New Party’s goal.
Recently obtained evidence from the updated records of Illinois ACORN at the Wisconsin Historical Society now definitively establishes that Obama was a member of the New Party. He also signed a “contract” promising to publicly support and associate himself with the New Party while in office.
Minutes of the meeting on January 11, 1996, of the New Party’s Chicago chapter read as follows:
Barack Obama, candidate for State Senate in the 13th Legislative District, gave a statement to the membership and answered questions. He signed the New Party “Candidate Contract” and requested an endorsement from the New Party. He also joined the New Party.
Consistent with this, a roster of the Chicago chapter of the New Party from early 1997 lists Obama as a member, with January 11, 1996, indicated as the date he joined.
Archives prove Obama was a New Party member (updated)
The New Party was a radical left organization, established in 1992, to amalgamate far left groups and push the United States into socialism by forcing the Democratic Party to the left. It was an attempt to regroup the forces on the left in a new strategy to take power, burrowing from within. The party only lasted until 1998, when its strategy of "fusion" failed to withstand a Supreme Court ruling. But dissolving the party didn't stop the membership, including Barack Obama, from continuing to move the Democrats leftward with spectacular success.

Care to show me where the capitalist system is concerned with my best interest?
What did I get out of the bailout of wall street and the banks? Nothing
What did I get out of the two wars the last capitalist president started? Nothing
What did I get out of the tax cuts that were given to the wealthy by the last capitalist president but excluded the poor and middle class? Nothing
I really don't see how capitalism has done me or anyone I know any good at all. A person would have to be blind to not see how unregulated capitalism has been a total failure in this country. The Mao comment was funny though maybe now it's time that you learn there are different types of socialism. You know like the ones that work.
When the story of Obama's association with the New Party first broke in 2008,
Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt claimed that Obama had never been a member.www.breitbart.com...
I have never been a fan of socialism. I take pride in the fact that I earned a scholarship to college, dropped out, worked as a roofer for four years, joined the military, learned a very desirable skill that has now leveraged into a great career for me, and I can comfortably take care of my wife and our two sons.

Thank you for an honest and open statement.
You are, I believe, the first person to admit this on one of my threads.
I don't blame people for voting for Obama in 2008. The way he was presented by the MSM and others, most people couldn't help but like him/support him. But, as each day passed we find out more and more.
So, when one is presented with such info/evidence etc, if they feel badly/tricked/deceived etc, then Doom On Obama.
Obama is bringing shame upon the US like we have never seen before. No, not with the Muslin countries but the rest of the world leaders look at Obama and laugh. Especially Russia, China and France's new president.
Do me/us a favor. Get out, educate others, vote and get others to vote. A real Grass Roots movement.

The only perfect society I have ever seen was the Earth in Gene Roddenberry's "Star Trek" universe.
I wish we could all be so noble as to work for the sake of advancing humanity, but we simply are too... greedy... to do such a thing now, or in the forseeable future.

Do I think I should pay more taxes? Yes. I don't like the idea, but it's not always about what we like but rather what we need.
What I like about capitalism is what I think you despise about it... the competition. The knowledge that if I outwork/outhink/outhustle those around me I can advance my station. Is that a good thing? Yes and no. But I will tell you I have ethics about it... I do not gossip nor backstab, and I always give credit to others for contributions or if their work/product is superior to mine. It is dog-eat dog, but it does not have to be, which is the way I practice my form of capitalism.
I do not agree with the wealth gap, but if a CEO has done his job well and with honor and steered his company with decency and vision, he is worth whatever his/her company is willing to pay.

I do believe that Florida has no state income taxes, though. Think about the rest of us who pay through the nose state income taxes which in some states is more than federal.
As for military benefits, they are indeed nice. I also think they are well-deserved considering the risks and hardships involved in military life.
