ROTC Get Out, Stay Out! Obama Wants You to Serve Imperialism
Barack Obama dropped a bomb on his young enthusiasts at Columbia University on September 11. The heavily Democratic crowd booed McCain when he called for the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) to be brought back to campus (it was driven out in 1969 by protests against the Vietnam war). Liberal students expected a different answer from Columbia alum Obama, but the forum was a symphony of agreement as both candidates campaigned for expanding the military and pledged their enthusiastic support to U.S. imperialism. That should have been the tip-off for anyone who hadn't figured it out by then: Obama is no "peace candidate" but like McCain he is a certified imperialist war candidate.

Obama Wants You to Serve Imperialism
Democrats, Republicans United for Racist War and Union Busting

Obama is a Honky, McCain is a Slave, and We’re All Still Oppressed by the Whores of the Lesser Womb

Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Obama doesn’t deserve to win unless he steps up to the real change that it is time for, which is the actual future. What was the one thing people actually spoke out for against the Bush regime? The one thing people saw some kind of funky hope in peeking out of their subconsciouses in the murk of the drear-clear sunny morning talk show drives to and from work that is their lives?
STEM CELLS.
Yes, that got people nodding awake, but not yet stirring from slumber. Because in their hearts there was a quiet murmur that said… yummm… possibility.
Of what though?

FBI Wanted Obama Plotters Charged, But A Rove Appointee Said No
We noticed last week that it was awfully peculiar that Colorado’s U.S. Attorney, Troy Eid, had so airily dismissed conspiracy charges against the three white-supremacist tweakers who were caught planning to assassinate Barack Obama at last week’s Democratic National Convention in Denver.
Meanwhile, protesters who were completely gun-free get charged with felony terrorism in Minneapolis.
Now it turns out that those suspicions were fully warranted:
KUSA - 9Wants to Know has learned three
men in Denver planned to assassinate U.S. Senator Barack Obama during
the Democratic National Convention in Denver by sneaking into one of
his events and shooting him with a gun hidden inside of a camera,
according to federal court records.
Obama, The Prince of Bait and Switch
On 12 July, The Times (UK) devoted two pages to Afghanistan. It was mostly a complaint about the heat. The reporter, Magnus Linklater, described in detail his discomfort and how he had needed to be sprayed with iced water. He also described the “high drama” and “meticulously practised routine” of evacuating another overheated journalist. For her US Marine rescuers, wrote Linklater, “saving a life took precedence over [their] security”.

Dissident VoiceCampaign Deconstruction and Movement Building
Many progressives have become involved in the Obama campaign, because they make him out to be a charismatic leader with the potential to unite the nation and restore the American dream after what they perceive as years of disenfranchisement. Because his speeches reach beyond class, race, religion, or other factors that usually foster divisiveness, these progressives feel connected once again –as a people and as participants in the political game. As it sweeps through, this wave of energy could transform the nation, but only if sustainable in the long run.
