The Obama - "Pope" Axis of Marxism

The Washington Post is a die-hard Democratic Party newspaper that occasionally recognizes Obama’s drift into Marxism. The December 19th editorial on Cuba is a case in point. Not only does the Post understand the nature of Obama’s betrayal of a free Cuba, it is beginning to wake up to the failures of bipartisan policies that have built communist Chinese economic power in the name of Capitalism and reform.
The paper says that Obama “should have learned and applied some of the hard lessons of normalization with China and Vietnam – most notably that engagement doesn’t automatically promote freedom. When the United States debated extending ‘most-favored-nation’ trading status to China, we shared in what was then the conventional wisdom: Economic engagement would inevitably lead, over time, to political reform inside that communist dictatorship.”

The paper goes on to admit it was duped. But, Obama should know better, shouldn’t he?
The Post notes that the Chinese regime has been strengthened, not
weakened, by policies of “engagement.” The Chinese communists “were
determined to reap the fruits of foreign investment and trade – for
themselves and their families, first, but also for their country –
without ceding power. So far, confounding expectations, they have
succeeded,” the paper commented.
In the case of Cuba, the Post said, Obama could have proposed normalization only after certain freedoms were given to the Cuban people. Instead, he “spurned” the “brave freedom fighters” on the island in the form of ordinary citizens risking their lives to protest against the Castro regime and to demand basic rights. Obama simply ignored their struggle.

So, what are we to conclude? The Post is the paper that sent a reporter by the name of Dana Milbank to our news conferences over the years to ridicule our warnings of Obama’s Marxism. It looks like the editorial board, at least, is coming around to the realization that Obama is deliberately pursuing a Marxist policy in the case of Cuba. This is a breakthrough.
In a separate editorial, the paper called Obama’s change in Cuba policy a “bailout” of the regime. It said, “Mr. Obama may claim that he has dismantled a 50-year-old failed policy; what he has really done is give a 50-year-old failed regime a new lease on life.”

| Francis and Obama, powerful friends of socialism |
The editorial fails to take note of the role of "Pope" Francis in the
betrayal. However, a separate article in the paper indirectly took note
of the development, highlighting that while John Paul II was
“extremely public in his fight against Communism,” Francis seems
dedicated to being known as a “master builder of bridges” between the
communist and free worlds. This is to the advantage of the communists.
The article notes that Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) – who is Catholic – was critical of the "Pope", saying he should “take up the cause of freedom” rather than facilitate Obama’s deal with the Castro brothers. But we have heard enough from the "Pope", in terms of his attacks on Capitalism, to know where he stands.
Rubio told ABC News, “The "Pope" is a spiritual leader and he always, naturally, is going to want to bring people closer together. And I respect that as a spiritual leader. But I think it’s also important to say that people deserve the right to be free… our nation was founded on that principle.”

The awareness is growing among Catholics that this "Pope" is radically different than John Paul II. Associated Press
quotes Efrain Rivas, a 53-year-old maintenance man in Miami who was a
political prisoner in Cuba for 16 years as saying, “I’m still Catholic
till the day I die. But I am a Catholic without a Pope.”
Miguel Saavedra, described as a 57-year-old Miami mechanic who leads an anti-Castro group and wears a Christian cross, told AP, “The Church is contaminated.” He was probably referring to contamination by elements of Marxist-oriented liberation theology.

Catholic writer Vic Biorseth concludes, “I’m afraid it is true – "Pope"
Francis is a Marxist. George Soros is probably celebrating. So is Bill
Ayers, Frances Fox Piven, and especially, Comrade President Obama, peace
be upon him. We will get through this, and we will be stronger for it.”
This may sound harsh, but the evidence is all around for everyone to see. Perhaps the Post will eventually wake up to that reality as well. But how long will it take?
