Weather Underground Were Not Happy Little Hippies

Thomas Lifson at the American Thinker site has a post this morning helping to explain just what Bill Ayers and his Weather Underground believed. These were not the hippies you see following the Dead around the country in a micro bus. These are seriously sick people. They are educated thinkers working toward a Utopian vision of racial harmony and equality for all. They were able to discuss plans for re-education camps and the extermination of the estimated 25 million who would not allow themselves to be re-educated because they believe the world would be much better afterwards and it was up to the enlightened few (them) to make it so.

Barack Obama will not open Gulags on January 21st. He has no plans to round up his political opponents and kill them. But he has no problem trying to silence them while still just a junior senator running for president. That should give one pause.

Consider this. A dirty bomb goes off in a major US city a few months into the Barack presidency. The finacial markets, which were weak already, go into complete bedlam. The country rallies around its president. The media is invested in the Obama administration after shilling for the campaign shamelessly. The House and Senate are in filibuster-proof Democrat hands. Obama sees himself as all those around him see him--as the World's Savior.

Obama will surely try to prevent such an attack from happening again. He'll ask himself what caused such a thing to happen. Our dependence on foreign oil? Our support for Israel? Our support for Iraq? Our lack of respect for the Islamic faith? Our gross consumption? Can you imagine the solutions to these "problems" an unchecked Obama administration could institute?

What would happen to the dissenting voices? To be anti-Obama is to be be a racist and now an Anti-American. Those people would be a threat to the very lives Obama would be trying to save. A good president can't allow a threat like that to stand, can he?

"It can't happen here," you say.

The residents of Germany, Venezuela, Italy, Russia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Cuba and countless others beg to differ.
