From a recent New Yorker profile (http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/05/24/100524fa_fact_mead?currentPage=all#ixzz0oVOK3UAD)o f Andrew "Blowhard" Breitbart.
Breitbart, who is Jewish, grew up in Brentwood, an affluent part of Los Angeles. He seems a familiar bicoastal type until he starts explaining his conviction that President Barack Obama’s election was the culmination of a plot, set in place in the nineteen-thirties by émigré members of the Frankfurt School (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_School), to take over Hollywood, the media, the academy, and the government, with the aim of imposing socialism. “He’s a Marxist,” Breitbart says of Obama. “His life work, his life experience, his life writings, and now his legislative legacy speak to his ideological point of view.”

So, so far President Obama is more well known than either this Breitbart guy or his Frankfurter school.

I thought he went to Columbia, not The Frankfurt School of Finance and Management (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_School_of_Finance_&_Management).

Is the headmaster of the school Dr. Frank N. Furter?

It's because he is from Hawaii.

Oh, that explains it. The school's actually closer to Louisville.

I never even heard of the Frankfurt School
[The Frankfurt School was] group of researchers associated with the Institute for Social Research in Frankfurt, who applied Marxism to a radical interdisciplinary social theory. The Institute for Social Research (Institut für Sozialforschung) was founded by Carl Grünberg in 1923 as an adjunct of the University of Frankfurt; it was the first Marxist-oriented research centre affiliated with a major German university. Max Horkheimer took over as director in 1930 and recruited many talented theorists, including T.W. Adorno, Erich Fromm, Herbert Marcuse, and Walter Benjamin.
Most of the institute’s scholars were forced to leave Germany after Adolf Hitler’s accession to power (1933), and many found refuge in the United States.

I read Marcuse's One-Dimensional Man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Dimensional_Man). It's quite an interesting book, but with sentences sometimes a whole page long. Reading it is like following every strand on a plate of spaghetti from end to end with just your eyes.
If the Frankfurt School was going to take over America, that book probably hides their Illuminati code ... or something.

While there are a lot of social programs in hawaii, totalitarian is a better word than socialism to describe the situation there. Obama's time there was at the very beginning of some well intentioned liberal policies that did a lot of temporary good, until the money ran out. He was gone before it reached its conclusion and had so many people living in their cars

Who? The Hawaiians pushing for Sovereignty? Or you mean the ones pushed out of their houses when a rich neighbor moves in?
