Is Obama's video by Hanks another tie to a socialist?

Ok so, here you have an OPINION piece by Glenn Beck based of facts. It does appear that Obama's new video "The road we traveled" does seem to have some erie similarities to the FDR admirer Stuart Chase titled "The road we are traveling"

So does everything this guy does always seem to have roots to a Radical Socialist, Marxist, Communist? It appears so. What do you think?

And unless you have something to argue about what Beck has layed out, other than the usual "Beck is an idiot" Beck is a liar" nonsense....why bother? You will just appear petty, and ignorant. Please have an opinion about Beck's opinion, and not your opinion of Beck. Thanks in advance

Did Beck Just Uncover the Origins of Obama’s New Documentary?
Posted on March 19, 2012

“The Road We’ve Traveled” is an Obama campaign short movie — or alternatively dubbed “docu-ganda” — that, to many, is a stunningly fawning 17-minute account of what the filmmaker posits are the president’s myriad “accomplishments” during his first term.

“Remember how far we’ve come,” opens director Davis Guggenheim’s film. Guggenheim, of course, made waves recently when he asserted that the only “negative” about President Obama is that he has too many positives.

But where does the title and theme for Obama’s mini propagandist piece hail from? Glenn Beck went digging and thinks he might have found the answers in a book from 1942.

First, a recap of the film. From the movie’s YouTube page:

This film gives an inside look at some of the tough calls President Obama made to get our country back on track. Featuring interviews from President Bill Clinton, Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Elizabeth Warren, David Axelrod, Austan Goolsbee, and more. It’s a film everyone should see.

For reference, “The Road We’ve Traveled” is featured below in its entirety.

During his Monday morning radio broadcast, Beck reiterated an important observation he made last Friday, and discussed the uncanny resemblance Obama’s movie bears to a book titled, ”The Road We Are Traveling 1914-1942.”



Written by FDR-admirer Stuart Chase, the book focuses on America once it has dispensed with free enterprise entirely. Chase wrote that while he could call this new society “communist, state capitalist, or fascist,“ he preferred the more ambiguous ”Political System X.”

But who is Stuart Chase?

According to historical records, Chase was an American economist and MIT-trained engineer whose writings covered topics running the gamut of semantics to the economy. His mindset was said to have been shaped by Fabian socialism and he was an open admirer of the planned economy of the former Soviet Union. Chase’s early political career advocated birth control and socialism, to name a few.

Often credited with being the originator of the term “New Deal,” a glimpse at a closing quote from his book by the same name just might reveal this author’s mindset: “Why should Russians have all the fun remaking a world?”

Beck mapped out “Political System X’s” main characteristics:

•A strong centralized government
•An executive arm growing at the expense of the legislative and judicial arm
•Control of banking, credit and security exchanges by the government
•Underwriting of employment through armaments or by public works
•Underwriting of Social Security by the government
•Underwriting of food, housing and medical care by the government
•Use of deficit spending to finance underwritings
•Abandonment of gold in lieu of managed currency
•Government control over trade, natural resources, transportation, agricultural production, organized labor unions, and youth corps-enlistments, to name a few
•A youth and people dedicated to the ideology of government authorities
•Heavy taxation of estates and incomes of the wealthy
•State control over communications and propaganda
Chase wrote that if executed correctly, the ship could not be veered off its course once en route.

For Beck, “the road we are traveling” is not only the embodiment of the Obama administration and every goal it is realizing, but is “yet another knife in the back of anyone who doesn’t know [the history]… and a wink to anyone who does.”

There are a couple good video's on this link, but I couldn't download them:

Lol...You really should stop confusing opinions and facts.
Your thread is nonsense, and no one with any sense is interested in discussing glen beck's opinions.

 

A comment from the video:

Sounds just like the leaders of Hitler's Youth, doesn't it?

Between this vid's ties to socialism and the fact you can buy Obama's "Rising Sun" emblems on barackobama.com... not sure how anybody can deny there's a connection. If nothing else, it's obvious he's a wannabe. Too bad he lives in a country with term limits, eh?

 

Yup. That's Stuart Chase, all right.

 

Barack obama does not have ties to socialists. He was raised to be a socialist/communist and he is a socialist/communist. It has nothing to do with "ties". The man is what he is.

He admitted to Russia's Putin that he lies to Americans but if he get's reelected he'll have "more flxibility" and can do what he wants. He's met with Democrat (only) governors to discuss how to run the country and bypass Congress. He forms racist re-election groups and the media says nothing. He is determined to be a dictator and some leftists are publicly supporting that position. And, his friends are enemies of the U.S. and his enemies are our friends.

 

Everything Obama does points to collectivism of some sort.
Since he's a Marxist, that's no surprise.

 

Beck's opinion is spot on, btw.

 

Obama's red roots are very deep indeed.

LOL!!

I bet Obama often visits Rev. Wright under the bus.

Hey Joe...How Does It Go?

There's one thing you won't deny. Your Little Prince Obama is a statist. Isn't that right?

 

Good post KK8. I think Beck is spot on.

 

Then why did you?

 

Here is the road we have traveled under the leadership of Barack Obama!


This list is a remarkable summary of the "Anointed One's "actual" accomplishments.

Obama's stellar record...

• Record debt.

• Record deficit.

• Record deficit spending.

• Record home foreclosures.

• Record food stamp recipients.

• Rammed through ObamaCare against the will of the people.

• Continued the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and added new Libya and Africa conflicts.

• Extended the patriot Act, not once, not twice, but three times
.
• Continues operation of Guantanamo bay prison.

• Highest national unemployment in 25 years.

• Solyndra scandal.

• "Fast and Furious" gun-walker scandal.

• Nominated two incompetent inexperienced anti-2nd Amendment
supreme court justices.

• Pushed job killing EPA regulations.

Wow! ... what a remarkable record!

 

So let me see if I have this straight:

Traveling down a road is a common metaphor in American English.

The director of a film commissioned by the Obama campaign used the metaphor;

So did some obscure book published in 1942;

This, in Beck's mind, establishes a connection;

He then goes on to talk about the 1942 book and ascribe all of its beliefs and claims to Obama.

This, folks, is a shining example of why Beck -- and anyone who listens to him -- is an idiot.

 

Glenn Beck opens a box of cereal, there's a socialist.
Glenn Beck goes to the bathroom, there's a socialist.
Glenn Beck hears Obama has a movie, there's a socialist.

Glenn Beck, he's just saying it to people who already believe it.

 

Yep, he's just a Marxist.

 

I hate to break it to ya, but I knew long before this.

 

Beck is a idiot..Romney plays etcha sketch all day..
and Obama is liar, kissing ass to get reelected..

so what's new? politics as usual..

 

What that he calls everything a socialist?

 

The question was...DID BECK JUST UNCOVER THE ORIGINS OF OBAMA’S NEW DOCUMENTARY?

Answer: Yes.

 

Can those who disagree articulate why Beck is wrong?

 

A strong centralized government
An executive arm growing at the expense of the legislative and judicial arm
Control of banking, credit and security exchanges by the government
Underwriting of employment through armaments or by public works
Underwriting of Social Security by the government
Underwriting of food, housing and medical care by the government
Use of deficit spending to finance underwritings
Abandonment of gold in lieu of managed currency
Government control over trade, natural resources, transportation, agricultural production, organized labor unions, and youth corps-enlistments, to name a few
A youth and people dedicated to the ideology of government authorities
Heavy taxation of estates and incomes of the wealthy
State control over communications and propaganda



This seems pretty much where we are going and what we have right now.

 

Obscure...FDR is obscure! How much Kool-Aid did you drink?

 

Where did I say FDR was obscure? I said the *book* was obscure.

RIF.
