On Thursday, conservative icon David Horowitz penned an essay explaining the threats to American freedom. The essay was based on a speech Horowitz gave at the Kohler conference, sponsored by the Bradley Foundation. In it, Horowitz labeled President Obama and Valerie Jarrett’s the tip of the spear of the hard left:
I was born at the beginning of the Second World War into a family of high school teachers who were members of the Communist Party….The president, his chief operative Valerie Jarrett and his chief political strategist David Axelrod all came out of the same Communist left and the same radical new left as I did, and all have remained heart and soul a part of it. As someone who turned his back on that destructive movement, I can say with confidence that they have not.
Horowitz continued by pointing out the Obama administration’s radical foreign policy, particularly with regard to Benghazi:
The murder of Ambassador Stevens led to the most shameful presidential act in our history when the President turned his back on the cries for help of three American heroes who served him and who were in a desperate fight for their lives. It is a time honored American code never to abandon our warriors on the field of battle. But America’s commander-in-chief turned his back on these brave fighting men and left them to die; and then lied to the American people to cover up his crime.
Horowitz warned of the rise of a one-party state:
The fact that I had a radical past allowed me to see much of this coming. But even I never thought we would be looking so soon at the prospect of a one-party state. Those words may sound hyperbolic, but take a moment to think about it. If you have transformed the taxing agency of the state into a political weapon – and Obama has; if you are setting up a massive government program to gather the financial and health information of every citizen, and control their access to care; and if you have a spy agency that can read the mail and listen to the communications of every individual in the country, you don’t really need a secret police to destroy your political opponents. Once you have silenced them, you can proceed with your plans to remake the world in your image.
