Politics: VIDEO - Obama: Union power and collectivism 'core of my faith'
Published by: Robert Laurie on Thursday September 20th, 2012
Another day, another disturbing video of Barack Obama. This time it’s from 1995. At the time, Obama was on a book tour to promote his partially-fictional autobiography “Dreams from My Father.”
In the film, he explains that we need “Democracy with a small d,” and that we need to work together as a collective.
According to the then community organizer, the “best part” of his parent’s “dream” was the idea “that we collectively can decide on our fate.” In doing so, “things like technological change, things like mass media, things like the market are all subject to our control.”
--
Keep in mind that his mother expressed lifelong sympathy to the Marxist cause. His father was a committed socialist who advocated taxation without limit, as well as communal property ownership and federal seizure of private property. The man he describes as his mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, was a fervent Communist activist who was placed on the FBI security index during WWII, meaning the government thought him likely capable of treason.
So, when the President talks about the “dream” that his family imparted, it’s important to contemplate the source. Given his family’s background, hopefully their “dream” is about to be defeated.
This man cannot be allowed a second term.

David Frum has a similar reaction to mine:
"To which one can only reply: That's it? That's what you've got?
That quote may expose Obama as long-winded, but we knew that. But what exactly is he saying here that would be disagreed with by, say, the founders of the land-grant colleges or the authors of Social Security?"
I bet even Steve would find this supposedly damning quote completely unremarkable.

Actually I think it's a perfectly reasonable statement as well.
Love it or not redistribution has been part of our way of life for centuries.
And I think even our friends the left will admit that in many circumstances it's poorly designed and damaging to those it bad to help.
I don't know what the Presidents plans are to make those systems better or helpful and more efficient but it's certainly a worthwhile quest to try to find some.
I wish that search could be something other than a tool to be used in the politics of envy but...

Until Republicans Fix This Problem, They Can't Fix Any Problems
The inability to judge arguments on their merits and separate fact from fantasy is what ails the conservative movement.
...Yup.

Heck-of-a-handjob you live in a fantasy world you stupid cock sucker.
Open Letter to Barack Obama
From economist Donald J. Boudreaux:
Speaking today in Ohio, you bragged that your administration brought unfair-trade complaints against China “at nearly twice the rate” at which George W. Bush’s administration brought such complaints. In other words, your administration…
… is nearly twice as active as was that of your predecessor at raising Americans’ cost of living by badgering suppliers to hike the prices charged on products such as consumer electronics, furniture, and footwear;
… has doubled-down on the Bush administration’s efforts to raise production costs for the many American producers who buy inputs such as zinc and oil-field-drilling equipment from Chinese manufacturers;
… is two times as likely to pander to the economically ignorant in order to grant special privileges to the politically powerful, all in efforts to prevent Americans from spending their money as they see fit.
And you’re proud of this record?

FWIW... consider me a "sams club voter" too as described in the book Grand New Party.....
But nevermind all the blather that this writer suggests as the problem that ails republicans and the so called message....
He cites the work of Ron Susskind, during the GW Bush years and if he were honest, Bushes 2nd lame term...
Brings up the in fighting (sic) of Limbaugh and Kristoll, along with a few jabs at Beck..... Correctly points out Hewitt and Prager as legit.... then slams them all in typical lib style hate
And ends eloquently with the all too usual disdain for GW Bush... huh?
Guess this election cant be a perfect run for a candidate like Romney to change your mind.... Besides, for some of us,
who believe govt is TOO big, spends TOO much money, are basically saying with OUR vote, WE DONT WANT OBAMA! plain and simple -=- hand job
