Just like Hitler, Lenin, Saddam, Castro and Chavez all laid out their political vision way before they came to power, here is Barack Obama laying out his. In October 2005, he posted an article at the Mecca of extreme left wing thought, Daily Kos. The main thrust of his argument was that the centrist wing of the Democratic party needs to be driven out so that the liberal wing can run the show, here are a few excerpts from his article:
There is one way, over the long haul, to guarantee the appointment of judges that are sensitive to issues of social justice, and that is to win the right to appoint them by recapturing the presidency and the Senate. And I don’t believe we get there by vilifying good allies, with a lifetime record of battling for progressive causes, over one vote or position. I am convinced that, our mutual frustrations and strongly-held beliefs notwithstanding, the strategy driving much of Democratic advocacy, and the tone of much of our rhetoric, is an impediment to creating a workable progressive majority in this country.
In order to beat them [Republicans], it is necessary for Democrats to get some backbone, give as good as they get, brook no compromise, drive out Democrats who are interested in “appeasing” the right wing, and enforce a more clearly progressive agenda. The country, finally knowing what we stand for and seeing a sharp contrast, will rally to our side and thereby usher in a new progressive era.

Let me be clear: I am not arguing that the Democrats should trim their sails and be more “centrist.” In fact, I think the whole “centrist” versus “liberal” labels that continue to characterize the debate within the Democratic Party misses the mark. Too often, the “centrist” label seems to mean compromise for compromise sake, whereas on issues like health care, energy, education and tackling poverty, I don’t think Democrats have been bold enough.
I guess he put his plans into action, and along with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid has carried out a coup against the Centrist wing of the Democratic party led by Hillary Clinton…
Of course the next step is to do same against the very fabric of American Society, and take us from being a centrist nation to an extreme left (socialist) one…
Thanks to PUMA Robin for the heads up.
