From that core, Vereide built an international network of fundamentalists who spoke the language of establishment power, a &quot;family&quot; that thrives to this day. In public, they host prayer breakfasts; in private they preach a gospel of &quot;biblical capitalism,&quot; military might, and American empire. Citing Hitler, Lenin, and Mao, Doug Coe, the Family&#039;s current leader, declares, &quot;We work with power where we can, build new power where we can&#039;t.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This quote is taken from the book on The Family by the same name which will be published in May... a book which claims to&lt;br/&gt;&quot;...dramatically challenge conventional wisdom about American fundamentalism, revealing its crucial role in the unraveling of the New Deal, the waging of the Cold War, and the no-holds-barred economics of globalization. The question Sharlet believes we must ask is not &quot;What do fundamentalists want?&quot; but &quot;What have they already done?&quot;&lt;br/&gt;A long article was written about Hillary Clinton&#039;s participation in this organization last September in Mother Jones, and The Family, itself, was the subject of an extensive article in Harper&#039;s in March of 2003. And on March 21st, The Nation published an article on Hillary and The Family by Barbara Ehrenreich that was published on The Huffington Post and CBS News&#039; web site.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The Family avoids the word Christian but worships Jesus, though not the Jesus who promised the earth to the &quot;meek.&quot; They believe that, in mass societies, it&#039;s only the elites who matter, the political leaders who can build God&#039;s &quot;dominion&quot; on earth. Insofar as The Family has a consistent philosophy, it&#039;s all about power - cultivating it, building it and networking it together into ever-stronger units, or &quot;cells.&quot;...wrote Ms.Ehrenreich.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Is it possible that Hillary&#039;s participation in this fundamentalist group -- which apparently preaches the &quot;gospel of military might&quot; -- would help explain her vote in favor of authorizing President Bush to attack Iraq? Is it possible her pro-NAFTA stance during her husband&#039;s administration comes from its embrace of &quot;the no-holds-barred economics of globalization&quot;? Is it possible that the sense some get that Hillary feels entitled to be president comes in part from this group&#039;s belief that &quot;it&#039;s only the elites who matter&quot;?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I encourage any reporter covering Hillary&#039;s campaign to ask her about all this.&lt;br/&gt;At a time when so many people are wondering what sort of effect the Rev. Wright&#039;s sermons may have had on Barack Obama, I think it&#039;s only fair to ask what sort of effect The Family&#039;s fundamentalist mission has had - and continues to have - on Hillary Clinton. We know that &lt;br/&gt;George Bush engages in truly fundamentalist thinking. There is no person or new information capable of challenging his belief that what he already knows is right. Is Hillary Clinton like this in some way? I am not sure.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;But the opinion I have formed from this is that - while Hillary Clinton may be considered a Liberal by many - on the inside she is a deeply Conservative person... possibly as close to being a Republican today as she was when she was a young woman supporting Senator Goldwater. This helps explain, to me, why she and John McCain are such good friends. They are both drawn to the use of military power and free market capitalism... and to taking money from lobbyists. The other opinion I have formed is that those who say there are no policy differences between Hillary and Barack haven&#039;t taken into account how their religious differences might impact the policies they would actually seek to implement as president.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE !!!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Visit: http://www.Blacks4Barack.org Official Site</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From: Blacks 4 Barack</p><p>WOW !

But will Joe Scarborough run it. (My guess: No.)</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought the bowling thing had positives for Obama. He showed a sense of humor, and a proper sense of humility about his limitations. And seriously, can anybody imagine Clinton or McCain trying the same? (To be fair, McCain was fucked up as a POW, so at least has a good excuse).</p><p>As for the basketball idea &#8212; HE&#8217;S DOING IT IN INDIANA! There&#8217;s a competition going on to pick a team of three voters to face Obama in a three-on-three game of hoops. Pure genius, and who can&#8217;t see ESPN running this on a loop?? But will Joe Scarborough run it. (My guess: No.)</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>By: rikyrah</title><link>http://www.jackandjillpolitics.com/2008/04/so-obamas-lithuanian-too/comment-page-1/#comment-8777</link> <dc:creator>rikyrah</dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 02 Apr 2008 04:48:00 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://s45368.gridserver.com/?p=1036#comment-8777</guid> <description>Anonymous,&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;thanks for the heads up.

That Barack looked more like a dancer than a bowler, subtext: effeminate, unmanly, alien.  &lt;br/&gt;Hillary&#039;s reptilian brain picked up on it too.  She challenges Barack to a bowl-off, mocking him.  What she&#039;s saying is that she&#039;s more of a man than Barack is.  Her audience is the blue collar white male.&lt;br/&gt;Chris understood the significance of the imagery of Barack daintily bowling...because as he&#039;s said with the red phone ad - guys like him are the intended audience.  I suppose Chris means Barack should have stuck to an activity where he could look more &quot;manly&quot;.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I think what Chris alluded to was the subtext.
