Neocolonial Dreams From Obama’s Mother

Newt Gingrich said to National Review Online recently, “What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anticolonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]?” Gingrich’s comment sparked off Dinesh D’Souza’s Forbes article, which argues that America is “governed by the ghost” of Obama’s “Luo tribesman” father.

Barack Obama speech 12 SC Neocolonial Dreams from Obamas Mother

But let’s not forget the white-liberal neocolonialism of his mother, which influenced him too. In Dreams from My Father, Obama reveals just as many or more dreams from his mother, the Ford Foundation anthropologist who introduced enlightened liberal ideology to the native tribes of Indonesia. There in that “land” of “fatalism,” Obama writes, “she was a lonely witness for secular humanism, a soldier for New Deal, Peace Corps, position-paper liberalism.”

The patronizing tone that Obama adopts in the book when discussing his father’s failures makes him sound more like a neocolonialist cut from his mother’s cloth than an anticolonialist. While he approves of the anticolonials’ anti-western anger, he still thinks they could use some direction from western liberals. He expresses disappointment with his father for not swallowing the liberal faith whole. His father lacked “faith in people” and held too tightly to certain Luo ways — “too much of its rigidness, its suspicions, its male cruelties.” If only, he implies, the African anticolonials were less stubborn and let neocolonialists at the Ford Foundation guide them to Planned Parenthood clinics and schools bankrolled by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett, all would have been well.

  1. He is from Kenya and a Muslim. He is dishonorable to America.

  2. I just wish someone would produce an original Birth Certificate and get this thing settled once and for all.

  3. If our Republic is to be saved the American People had better wake up and realize the sob in the oval office is a muslim, communist and an American hater and he is out to destroy this country with the help of his rubber stampers in both houses of congress. Please Americans when going in the voting booths in November vote for new blood and get rid of the career politicians.

  4. The Usurper in the White House doesn't know squat about his father or his dreams. In fact, it has been forensically proved that he didn't even write that book, that it was written by William Ayers. Mr. Soetoro was surrounded by communists and radicals from day one. He thinks radical is normal. Of course, he is a Muslim. Of course, he is ineligible to serve as POTUS. Anyone with half a brain would see that. But, all the obtuse, complicit members of Congress, the SCOTUS justices, federal judges, and the chickens**t media do not allow justice to be served. The way I see it, we're on our own.

  5. C.W. Crosby says:

    He follows an anti-American ideaology that he was indoctrinated in for his entire life , it is not like no one could see it coming , I saw it and warned people I know long before the election .

  6. Time i can not disagree with you!

  7. This is a lot BS!

  8. Yes, the "allegation has been out for some time now." And it has been dumb the entire time. But I'm willing to admit I'm wrong, if I see proof to the contrary–that's what I was asking for.

    • do a little research, just because its all ignored by the media does not make the allegations of barrys ineligibilty false, lots of websites with lots of links in backup to check out…..try obamareleaseyourrecords, americangrandjury, wnd, on and on and on.
      Im always amazed, obama spends 2 million so far blocking access to all his backround information and documents including his birth certificate, passport records, college funding records (try finding someone that remembers seeing barry at columbia u), his use of multiple social security numbers, his use of a ss# issued in a state he has never been in, his membership in a chicago gay mens club, etc etc. So do some investigation on your own and then YOU provide proof its a lie.

    • James the only thing dumb is you!
      Do you honestly think that Obama is even intellegent enough to write a book?

    • James why does The Great Pretender not make his records available to the public? Now that is plain dumb for him to continue to do so! The fact is that according to CNN /Cable News for Nuts poll clearly stated that a majority of Americans question Obama's being a citizen & there are more facts in support of this theory than there are against it.

    • little late on this THE KENYAN B C LOOKS A HELLEVA LOT MORE GENUINE THAN THE ONE HE PRODUCED.

    • Why should we do research for you? Everyone else here has taken the time to do our own research. I have seen the proof. It exists. You are an Obama a**wipe and should spend your time at Huffington Post and leave Patriots alone to discuss grown up business.

  9. WOW, did someone just scrub this site of comments?

  10. You still just don't get it. Obama is not an idealist, crusading (Muslims like that word) to be true to his lineage. He is a narcissistic sociopath. That means he is incapable of having any ideals or any empathy for anyone. He won't support his destitute brother, we are told. He is also the hired puppet of George Soros and a key figure in George Soros' Shadow Government that is poised for a coup. Get it?

  11. Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people, who have… a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean the characters and conduct of their rulers.
    John Adams

    The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men.
    Samuel Adams

  12. How can there be any question at all that the constitution, art 2 sec 1, is a specific check against the potential for a usurpation by a person of unknown allegiances and of unknown character?

    Yet here we are two years into a presidency with what can only be described as an unconstitutional president propped up by a corrupt body of legislators and a court system operating on the principle that popularity trumps constitutional law and no amendment process need be followed any longer.

  13. Hey Ellen get ready for a new way of non believers. It has nothing to do with this piece but it is close and the next one is going to rock the house from what I understand. I can just never take off my investigator hat. I was expecting something like what is coming out soon to happen when he started to get near 40% approval. But who believes polls anyway. I also heard that Barry and Hillary are going to possibility be 2012. Have you notice he is keeping her busy and close at hand lately. Sure doesn't want her bailing at this time for sure. Also for the prediction of the week Eric Holder is gone way before 2012. I really can't see him letting him go cause the AG is really taking some hits for him, but it may be just and political sacrificial anode. Anode are used around metals to protect it from bad things that make in corrode. I am not as smart as James with words, could slam dunk him in other subject matte. I know you can't respond to anything but the "B" word. See I didn't say it. Just letting you know that a new revelation is about to hit the street if my sources are correct. Might what to prepare with some legal research.Do have a nice day.

    • Gary in Colo says:

      Anode is correct, ireuel, but I guess the prof. might show up and tell me I don't know my
      job, since he is a journalist (or-ex as if it makes some diff.)

      • Gary in Colo says:

        The prof. will probably actually think it has something to do with An****. but if he thinks
        that it is a reference, some physics may help him.

      • "tell me I don't know my job"

        How could I do that, when we have no way of knowing what your job is?

        And if "ex" means nothing, I guess you don't trust the story of Saul/Paul?

        • Engineering up to including Nuclear. Also help design a dry canister storage tank for safer keeping of all them goods that were going to Yakka mountain. We all know what was suppose to go there. Not going to happen. But the canisters did come out well and have been a improvement to the past storage ideas that were in place. This is what I do and have for over 35 years. So now you can't say you don't know. I also served 12 years active and 8 and half years reserve in the military. I know you were responding to Gary but I figure this would be a good time to air that out. As told you not a English major for sure that is quite evident in my use of the same.

          Newt will be leading off the 2012 game this year for the right. Could make the conversation a little more interesting at least, just that darn baggage again.

          • "So now you can't say you don't know."

            Well, I could, since there's no way of checking, but I'll take your word for it. And thank you for your service.

  14. Don't click on this link, because it is not available anymore, but it is interesting reading. Just wish I could of copy and pasted the whole thing. So I could get Ellen rebuttal to it. A Professor and scholar wrote this and as fast as it was posted it magically disappeared. Curious. THis is not the news I discussed in my last post here but someone I know sent me the link and then came back to me and it was a error message when he tried to go to it. But here it is. Hope it comes back or it it might be overloaded. That happens when the site is not ready for massive hits..

    Sorry Ellen my friends just keep dragging me back in. Sometimes I wish they would let it go. What kind of creditability can I have with a bunch of wacko brither fiends. If you only knew whom some of my friends were. ROTFLMAO

    I wish his mother had went to the Planned Parenthood Center herself, alas she didn't practice what she preached–libs never do.
