Charlie Tremendous Jones is famous for (many things, one of which is) saying that who you will be in five years is driven by the books you read and the people with whom you associate. The truth to that statement has been proven over and over again; those who doubt it are cheating themselves. Read the right material to feed your mind and give your subconscious something to chew on, and then associate with those who can mentor you and spurn you on to greater dreams and goals. It is a simple formula for success.
What many fail to realize about this simple fact of human nature, however, is that this system of subliminal influence is constantly at work – no matter what you are reading or with whom you are associating. Like we say about computers – GIGO; Garbage in – Garbage out. One blogger has asked a very prescient question: How many Marxists, Communists, Domestic Terrorists and raving racialists does the President get to associate with before reasonable people can assume that the president on some level shares their particular vision of America?
The associates of Candidate Obama were scrutinized carefully by only a few and it is clear that the White House Czars have not been vetted at all. The appointment of Van Johnson, an admitted “’rowdy Black nationalist’” and ‘communist’ who was also a co-founder of the communist revolutionary organization STORM: Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement” is just the latest of these. Some have written books where they openly admit that natural selection must he helped with various forms of euthanasia – be it abortion, denying medical treatment to the elderly, or other radical idea that compassionate people just don’t share. They try very hard to make moral issues into political issues and then deny morality completely. Everything becomes political and to create their distorted view of the “perfect society” (which you must realize denies that there is any God at all other than their own humanism), they assume that a central political bureau (call it a death squad, or any of the other already existent federal agencies) to make the decisions for all of us since we are simply incapable of making correct moral… oh excuse, the correct political decision.
It seems the entire world knows about the association with Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, ACORN, and all of the early communist mentors to young Obama as revealed in his two “autobiographies.” It is simply not plausible to believe that these people had no effect on him, even if he did not want them to. Take a look at Congress. Have you ever seen such a batch of group-thinkers? They associate with each other. They sink to the lowest common denominator.
So think seriously about the books you read and the people with whom you associate. Choose the best. If you want some book suggestions – ask. Find a quality mentor. Hang out with the right group. Feed your mind with the right food. It will respond with the right thoughts. It can’t help itself.
And of course the corollary is an absolute truth as well. The reason the president surrounds himself with radical leftists like Van Jones is because he is in fundamental agreement with their view of the proper world order. I can’t speak for you, but I am not.
