‘Wilkow!:’ What Does Obama Mean By His New ‘Forward’ Campaign Message

Oct. 24, 2012 8:25pm Christopher Santarelli

“The president kicked off his “America Forward” tour Wednesday in Iowa, a two-day cross-county blitz that will make stops from Davenport to Denver to The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to Nevada to Ohio and beyond.

According to the Obama campaign:

“The ‘America Forward!’ tour will crisscross the nation, reaching as many voters as possible about the critical choice in this election — moving America forward toward an economy built to last with a strong middle class vs. going back to the same policies that crashed our economy in the first place.

The President believes we have to work for every vote, and so every door knock, every phone call, and every volunteer could mean the difference between continuing our path forward or going back. “

But what direction forward does President Obama want to take us, and is it sprinting in the other direction from the last four years?

On The BlazeTV Wednesday, Andrew Wilkow argues that under Obama we are heading in the direction wanted by elite progressives for years. The rich ally with the state to get richer, and the poor in turn get poorer. Rugged individualism has been replaced by Coporatism. Watch Wilkow’s opening monologue Wednesday focused on Obama’s ‘forward’ message:

In CONTROL, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. Find out more HERE.

“FORWARD” has a special meaning to socialists. “Forward” has been used by communists, socialists, and leftwingers in expressing their desire for “progress” – Lenin, Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Bolshevik’s, Mao, Russians, etc. Here are a few examples from propaganda posters which can be found on line.

Under the flag of Lenin – FORWARD for the Motherland, for our victory!
Under the leadership of the great Stalin – FORWARD to Communism!
FORWARD to the victory of communism. (Stalin)
FORWARD with communism. (Stalin and Lenin)
Valiant warriors, strength will beat the enemy! FORWARD to the West, for the complete liberation of the Soviet land! (Stalin)
FORWARD, powered with locomotives! (Stalin)
Young builders of communism! FORWARD to new successes in work and study! (Stalin)
Great Leap FORWARD (1956-1960) (Mao)
Ride the wind and cleave the waves to realise a Leap FORWARD in all fields. (Mao)
“Let’s march FORWARD under the banner of Mao Zedong!”
Sing revolutionary war songs with fervor, and move FORWARD in victory. (Mao)
Move fast FORWARD! Construct and protect the Motherland. (Mao)
The motherland doing a leap FORWARD. (Mao)

My God in heaven. Folks, we really do need to stop and think about WHERE we are really at. The handwriting is on the wall. Many of us see it, too many do not. The only thing I can figure out is that the indoctrination of marxism, communism, socialism has SO proliferated the schools and taught our young that these very forms of government are “not that bad”, “actually good” and most of all “electing someone from those leanings is good for our country”. The teaching of freedom and the value of freedom is not being taught and RELISHED as it once was. I fear many really GOOD people who don’t want America to really change will nevertheless vote for BO for the sake of party line loyalty or for sake of BO being black by the blacks. And THEY don’t even realize their vote is racist to the core. I’m sick for our country, I fear the outcome. I’m not even sure Romney can fix our current state. What I do know is that betting on him is far more reasonable than putting BO back in. IF EVER we were at a crossroads where the life and death of this country is at stake, it is now. God have mercy on our souls and please deliver us from the current regime.

Forward and Progressivism are both code words socialists use to refer to the state takeover of industry. Government takeover of healthcare… That’s “progress” we have moved “forward” to and those mean conservatives want to take us “backward” to “free markets” and “cruel, uncaring capitalism”. In simple terms, to progressives:

Forward = more government programs
Backward= less government

Once you understand their truthspeak, all the slogans make sense.

BTW, 99% = Proletariat
1% = Bougeousie

Once you understand that, you see the role Marxism is playing in the OWS movement and among “progressive” democrats

Forward over the cliff. Forward into Communism. Forward jihad. Forward Anti-Capitalism. Forward business to China. Forward to destroy the Constitutional Republic. Forward Agenda 21. Forward hopey, changey. Forward kill the Christians. Forward to shari’a. Forward One World Government.

I always knew there were some bad people in the world, but since 0 know i see there are many, many real bad monsters. Worse than the James Bond movies. I wish it was a movie. It’s so surreal

There is a movie that people should see. Article about it at http://www.hillbuzz.org

“Forward” is a very old Marxist slogan. Just do your own research. Very “transparent.”

  I agree. You have only to read between the lines. Figure out the definition of those key words, and pray like all get out that this can be stopped. Those who say that he does not have a plan are wrong his plan has been in the works for a long time. The Progressives are to be admired for their patience, their planning, and their massive funding. There is a backup plan for every backup plan. They are prepared. .They counted on us to keep our heads in the sand but were ready for every obstacle that would block their way. They make no move that has not been carefully calculated.

  Or I should have said as evidenced by the tee shirts the obamanites were wearing the other day, “put in foward Joe, put it in foward” They were too busy learning marx, alinsky,cloward and piven they didn’t spend anytime in the spelling bee.

May God bring the truth to all of the world, the nation and then bring judgement upon the guilty for the sake of the families of the four fallen, and for our nation being led by a madman.

We are going to unite in prayer and continue to pray that all the lies Obama tells will backfire. There is reaping and sowing in this. Four years of lies and deception is well way long enough to reap the crop of failure and disaster.
