  I'm sure there's more than 6. Mark Steyn adds this. "If Obama is elected in November, at G7 meetings, for the first time since they began, America will have a more left-wing leader than any other member of the group - Canada, Germany, France, Italy,

  “Ayers and especially Wright were influential figures in the community where Obama hoped to advance his political career. It’s possible that Obama attached himself to these two figures for purely opportunistic reasons. In this scenario, Obama was deplorably cynical, but not necessarily radical. Alternatively, Obama may have believed significant amounts of what his leftist associates espoused, only to cast it off over time. In this scenario, Wright and Ayers played Falstaff to Obama’s Prince Hal. But there are at least six reasons to fear that Obama will govern from the far left. First, it’s all he really knows. Obama grew up in a left-wing household, attended elite left-wing dominated universities, and spent the remainder of his formative years as a community organizer alongside the likes of Wright and Ayers. Second, it’s how he votes. In 2007, according to the National Journal, Obama’s voting record was the most liberal of any senator. Third, it’s what he falls back on. Obama is scripted to be “post-partisan.” But when off-script he’s liable to blurt out that those who resist the leftist agenda bitterly “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to those who aren’t like them.” And when his wife said that, as an adult, she has never been proud of America, Obama defended her statement as applied to American politics. This is “god damn America” lite. Fourth, it’s what his base wants. There really isn’t much distance between Reverend Wright and Bill Ayers and the “General Betray-Us” crowd. Fifth, it’s what he can pretend the times demand. When economic hardship causes people lose their faith in free markets, all kinds of radical mischief becomes possible. Sixth, with the Democrats almost certain to have substantial majorities in both houses of Congress, who would constrain a President Obama?” - Power Line: Six reasons to fear that Obama will govern from the far left

  Liberal Fascism

  I know, this is an old title. This is what we have to look forward to if Obama is elected. We need only look into his past and his proposals for the future. And we can look to the present in Europe as to what fun we may have in our future. We were struck and beaten because we wanted access to a university for an approved debate. The so-called anti-fascists used fascist methods to try to silence us. This cannot be allowed in a democracy.

  In a Nutshell, my Opposition to Obama

  He’s a liberal who favors increased federal spending and a larger federal government, has been less than and candid about past associations, refuses to disclose a number of details about his past. He has switched positions on a number of key issues. Seems to underestimate the threats abroad while downplaying the success of our strategy in Iraq. He talks a good game about postpartisanship and a “new kind of politics,” but since elected to public office, he has failed to accomplish any significant reform. He has never bucked his party on any major issues. Indeed, he consistently votes the party line. While campaigning for change, he doesn’t have much of a record as a trend-setter. He’s more a follower than a leader. UPDATE:  And here’s another, Paul Mirengoff of Powerline “considers Barack Obama’s radical associations [,] .. . . . asking whether these associations portend a radical presidency if Obama is elected.”
