What Is Behind Obama's Willingness to Give Others Your Money? - The Roots of Obama's Free Spending Ways

What is at the root of Obama's willingness to give away your money to others? The easy answer would be his socialist leanings as were made clear to everyone during the campaign. And undoubtedly, those socialist leanings are a part of the answer. But only to the extent that his socialist policies provide the vehicle for his ultimate goal. And what is that goal? Nothing short of the transfer of white wealth to the black community. Witness...

In this interview (conducted in 1995 as part of a promotion for his book 'Dreams of My Father"), Obama admits his Redistribution of Wealth is to SAVE the African American community SO HE CAN ENSURE HIS OWN SALVATION! (and Our Countries Salvation) He compares the plight of African Americas to the ethic genocide's of Bosnia and Africa. He blames all of African American's problems on "ONE GROUP" who suppresses them. And He says WHITE people don't want their taxes to help black children.



His precise words were:

"I worked as a community organizer in Chicago. I was very active in low income neighborhoods, uh, working on issues of crime and education and employment, uh, and seeing that in some ways certain portions of the African-American community, uh, are doing as bad, if not worse, and recognizing that my fate remained tied up with their fates, that, uh, that my individual salvation, uh, is not going to come about without a collective salvation for the country. Um, Unfortunately, I think that recognition, uh, requires that we make sacrifices, and this country has not always been willing to make the sacrifices necessary to bring about a new day and the new age."

To which he added:

"In the last year, African-Americans have lost their jobs at a faster rate than at any time in a quarter century. That's a wrong that needs to be made right. Unfortunately, we've got caught up in ideological battle where one party says, the only way to create job opportunities is through the marketplace and governments should not be involved at all, whereas my argument would be we also have to make sure that people are trained for jobs, that they've got child care, uh, so that they can go to a job, that there's affordable housing in those areas where jobs are being created, that entrepreneurs in minority communities are getting financing to create their own businesses and to create jobs in those communities, and all of those involve not just individual responsibility, but also societal responsibility."

Now couple those words with what we know about Obama and his religion. And by that I mean his real religion. The one he adhered to at Trinity United Church in Chicago under the guidance of Jeremiah Wright, before the media outed him and he pretended to throw that religion under the bus.

Some background on Black Liberation Theology. Black Liberation Theology is based on a condemnation of white people that far predates America and its institution of slavery and racism and thus, far predates the "black experience" often used as a justification for the "resentment" held by black America and the hate teachings of Obama's mentor (and presumably those who worship for 20 years under such hate preachers). James Cone, the founder of Black Theology, and the Reverend Wright make that very clear in their teachings. Obama's religion is one that bases its condemnation of white people on events that occurred in biblical times.

Reverend Wright (Obama's mentor) spewed the following:

"Jesus was a poor black man who lived who lived in a country and who lived in a culture that was controlled by rich white people.

The Romans were rich. The Romans were Italians which means they were European which means they were white. And the Romans ran everything which was in Jesus's country.

It just came to me within the past few weeks y'all why so many folks are hating on Barack Obama. He doesn't fit the model. He ain't white. He ain't rich and he ain't privileged.

Hillary fits the mold. Europeans fit the mold. Giuliani fits the mold. White men fit the mold."

James Cone, founder of black liberation theology, and often cited by Reverend Wright as the authority for his teachings, wrote the following in his 1969 book "Black Theology and Black Power"

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."

Barack Obama has spent much of his adult life worshiping in a church of Black Liberation Theology. That church, Trinity United of Chicago, before they were removed, once had on its website certain tenets that comprised what they referred to as "Black Value System" (the same system we can rationally assume, considering he went to the church for 20 years, that Obama supported). Those tenets were as follows:

1. Commitment to God
2. Commitment to the Black Community
3. Commitment to the Black Family
4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of “Middleclassness”
9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community
10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions
11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
12. Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System.

Now. Given what you have just read about Obama's church of 20 years and the religious principles of that church and Black Liberation Theology, Obama's comments in the above interview do not seem so strange. Indeed, there is no reason to believe he meant anything other than what he said. This is a man who truly believes that his own salvation is intertwined with the fate of the black community. That belief is evident in the tenets of the religion he practices (when he practices). But more so, it's evident in his own words as spoken in the above interview. And what of that salvation? And what is it that he intends to do to change the fate of the black community? The answer, also evident in his own words, is clear. He seeks to transfer white wealth to the black community. And the means by which he intends to do so are readily becoming apparent to all of us.

The Stimulus Bill is nothing short of the largest transfer of wealth in human history. And without question, the beneficial aspects of the Stimulus Bill (short term as they will prove to be) are overwhelmingly disproportionate in favor of minorities, particularly the black community. Rest assured, however, that this is just the beginning. Obama has much more planned to ensure his salvation. And that can only mean the further transfer of white wealth to the black community.

Is Obama's Goal Directed Chaos?

Joseph Farah proffers the following in an article at World Net Daily:

But it has been thought out. I want you to know that. This program, along with the whole of the so-called "stimulus" bill, has been considered carefully. No member of Congress may have read the bill. But that bill was written by someone. The programs it creates have been in the works for years. Money is being handed out to people who helped get Obama and the Democrats elected. Groups like ACORN, the shock troops and brown shirts of their movement, are being paid off with billions of dollars.

It has all been planned. And the goal is not to help the economy. The goal is to achieve chaos, because chaos leads to more government control – and that's what Obama and the Democratic Congress want more than anything.

They don't believe they should be bothered with elections or dissent or any of the nuisances of a free society. They believe they deserve perpetual power, because they are part of the enlightened elite.

They know socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried. But they also believe they can do better. They can make it work, because they are smarter than the guys who have bungled it in the past.

In the meantime, prepare for chaos.

Mr. Farah's points should be well taken. I have said many times that a man cannot sell a message of hope until he has sold a message of fear. Mr. Farah's "directed chaos" theory speaks directly to that notion. I have to say, I underestimated Obama and his henchman. My thoughts were that the message of fear would end shortly after he achieved his goal - being elected President. I underestimated Obama's willingness to overreach and further his agenda at such a rapid pace. But that underestimation was based more on a faith in the American people than any lack of understanding of Obama's ultimate goals. I really didn't think that the American people could become so afraid, so fast, I was wrong. And Obama has seized on this explosion of fear, chaos if you will, and is pushing his marxist, power-perpetuating agenda at breakneck speed. We haven't even had time to blink and look what has happened to America. We have had our money and the money of our children and grandchildren stolen from us for no other purpose than for Obama to redistribute it to his minions and thereby solidify his populist/socialist power base. And it was done before any effective opposition could even be contemplated, let alone organized and implemented.

What Does a Socialist Coup Look Like?

It's about a 1,000 pages long. Absolutely shameful.

Every American Will Pay the Price of Gross Ignorance

Fantastic read from CFP:

In 2008, Americans foolishly used their freedom to vote for “chains” not “change.”

Life, property, speech and guns, are at the foundation of American freedom and the corrupt Chicago cabal now in charge, is aggressively coming after all of them.

Obama’s “economic bailout” is a global socialist buyout of the U.S. free market system. ALL private property is under siege, as advised by George Soros.

Former Clinton Chief of Staff become George Soros stooge and Barack Obama advisor John Podesta leads the charge against free speech with his version of the “Fairness Doctrine” aimed at silencing the voice of dissent at talk radio.

Obama Gun Rights advisors John Podesta and Rebecca Peters, responsible for UK and Australian gun ban laws, are leading the charge against the U.S. Second Amendment, also funded by George Soros.

And of course, the right to life itself, both inside and outside of the womb, has been a successful target of the left for more than 40 years now.

Most Americans already oppose almost every early step of the Obamessiah administration. The Democrat congress continues to enjoy the lowest public opinion rating in U.S. history. Yet Americans have no clue where their power is, how to use it, or when to say enough is enough.

Our nation’s Founders knew that this day would come. “Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.” – Declaration of Independence

The natural tendency of a peaceful prosperous society is to quietly tolerate repeated affronts to their collective well-being, so long as the personal pain is tolerable. So long as life remains personally tolerable, the people will resist any urge to draw a line in the sand and take an individual stand against tyranny. They will suffer incremental losses, until the accumulative pain becomes personal and intolerable… and then, all of a sudden… they will awake!

“When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.” - Thomas Jefferson

You can’t fight city hall! Politicians are scum, but what can we do? My vote doesn’t count. Washington DC is not listening to the people. The people have no power. I don’t support what they are doing, but I dare not withhold my taxes, for fear of imprisonment. Our hands are tied…

No, our hands are not tied, yet. But they will be tied soon, if we continue to tolerate that which should never be tolerated in this country. Americans MUST get the horse ahead of the cart. They must “change” themselves, before they can change anything else. And they must begin at square one!

Did Obama Just Throw Down the Gauntlet for Revolution?

It sure looks like it to me. It appears he has plans to re-shape the Constitution in his image. That's going to piss a lot of people off.

This is from his speech in Philadelphia this morning. Where better to announce the founding of a new nation shaped in his image? And where else, more mocking, more audacious? And where else, better to fool people, as a patriot?

Obama:

“It was these ideals that led us to declare independence, and craft our constitution, producing documents that were imperfect but had within them, like our nation itself, the capacity to be made more perfect.

We are here today not simply to pay tribute to our first patriots but to take up the work that they began.

And yet while our problems may be new, what is required to overcome them is not. What is required is the same perseverance and idealism that our founders displayed. What is required is a new declaration of independence not just in our nation, but in our own lives..independence from ideology…

We should not forget we are the heirs of those who declared independence…and who somehow believed that they had the power to make the world anew, that’s the spirit we must reclaim …for the American Revolution did not end when the British guns fell silent…it was never something to be ended on a battlefield, or fulfilled in our founding documents…the American Revolution was and remains an ongoing struggle in the minds and hearts of the people…so starting now, let’s take up in our own lives, the work of perfecting our Union. Let’s build a government…let all of us do our part to rebuild this country , let’s make sure this election is not the end of what we do to change America, but just the beginning.”

It does indeed appear to be on like Donkey Kong.

Shades of...



Big h/t to Pat Dollard

UPDATE: Maybe the above rhetoric be tied to this new announcement from Obama of what he is now calling "Organizing for America"? Does he expect this band of internet and freeloading goons to squash all opposition?

President-elect Barack Obama announced the formation of a new group known as "Organizing for America" that aims to continue the grassroots advocacy that the former Illinois Senator began in his presidential campaign.

"As President, I will need the help of all Americans to meet the challenges that lie ahead," Obama said in a video message e-mailed to supporters (and reporters) this morning. "That's why I'm asking people like you who fought for change during the campaign to continue fighting for change in your communities."

The new group will be the flagship of "Obama 2.0" as many people have taken to calling the transformation of the political organization created during the 2008 campaign.

The new group will work within the Democratic National Committee -- led by Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine -- to advance the Obama agenda. "President-elect Obama has laid the foundation to meet the great challenges facing our nation, but we can succeed only if we build grassroots support for the administration's agenda," said Kaine in a release announcing the formation of Organizing for America.

UPDATE: I hereby issue my video response to any American who thinks they are going to re-write the United States Constitution. I say to you simply...Who the fu*k are you?.

Obama Promises 600,000 New Government Jobs

And so it begins...

In his radio address today, President-elect Obama uses some new language when discussing what he wants the stimulus package to achieve in terms of jobs. First off, he has a name for the package -- the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan."

The president-elect says he wants to "create three million new jobs" -- this is a change from a few weeks ago, when he said he wanted the plan to create OR SAVE two million jobs.

He says the "No. 1 goal of my plan ... is to create three million new jobs, more than 80 percent of them in the private sector.”

If you do the math: 20 percent of three million means 600,000 new government employees.

MusicianCorps Will Make the United States the Laughing Stock of the World

This has to be the most ridiculous idea to ever be conceived. I can just hear the Chinese and Russians laughing from here.

President-elect Barack Obama has said he believes the arts are good for people. During his campaign, one of his ideas was to create an Artist Corps — a kind of Peace Corps for artists who would work in low-income schools and communities.

But what would this actually look like?

There's already a model being developed for musicians called MusicianCorps. Kiff Gallagher's idea would be similar to AmeriCorps — in exchange for a year or two of service teaching in schools and after-school programs, musicians would get health care and a living stipend. Gallagher has the attention of Obama's transition team.

Read the whole article here. The author actually weighs the pros and cons of this turd of an idea. He should just go ahead and weigh the pros and cons of the PlayStationCorps while he's at it.

Obama is Still Selling Green Snake Oil

This guy is working every socialist angle he can.

In a taped speech shown to attendees at a climate change conference in California this week, Barack Obama continued trying to distract Americans from the enormous cost of making substantial reductions in carbon dioxide emissions by promising "five million new green jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced." Not only is this number pulled out of thin air; it's nothing to be happy about. As I've noted, the manpower required to transform the economy so that greenhouse gas emission targets can be reached is a measure of the cost involved. Obama makes it seem as if we should try to maximize this cost, promising that green jobs will "steer our country out of this economic crisis."

That is pretty much the opposite of the truth. As The New York Times notes, "some industry leaders and members of Congress have suggested that Mr. Obama's climate proposal would impose too great a cost on an already-stressed economy—having the same effects as a tax on coal, oil and natural gas—and should await the end of the current downturn." Obama's response is to portray the economic burden as a boon.

Even if Obama were right about current conditions, and right that things will only get worse, what evidence is there that his cap-and-trade plan will ameilorate the trend enough to justify the cost? Assuming we meet his goal of an 80 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 (a conveniently distant deadline), how much will it cost, what impact will it have on global warming, and how much damage will thereby be avoided?

Emanuel Lets the Cat of the Bag: Obama will Use Economic Crisis to Push Agenda -- Threatens a Revolt and Mandatory Collective Solutions

What can I tell you? Just read and reflect. You guys are smart. You'll know the score.

President-elect Barack Obama's incoming White House chief of staff challenged chief executives and other business leaders Tuesday night to join the new administration in a push for universal health care, saying incremental increases in coverage won't be acceptable.

"When it gets rough out there, a lot of business leaders get out of the car and say, 'We're OK with minor reform.' I'm challenging you today, we're going to have to do big, serious things," Rahm Emanuel said, speaking to The Wall Street Journal's CEO Council, a conference convened to elicit corporate opinion on the challenges facing the new president.

He said business leaders should help find solutions to the middle-class squeeze or face a revolt. "We need a strategy as a country to make sure they have an opportunity to move up that ladder," he said.

Mr. Emanuel promised that a major economic stimulus would be "the first order of business" for Mr. Obama when he takes office Jan. 20. The focus of spending will be on infrastructure, specifically "green infrastructure," which he said would include mass transit, upgraded electricity transmission lines, "smart" electrical meters that allow consumers to save money by using electricity at off-peak hours, and universal broadband Internet access, which he said would encourage telecommuting.

He stressed that the new administration would "throw long and deep," taking advantage of the economic crisis to push wholesale changes in health care, taxes, financial re-regulation and energy. "The American people in two successive elections have voted for change, and change cannot be allowed to die on the doorsteps of Washington," Mr. Emanuel said.

Obama's Plans for an Army of Internet Goons

The man has already been elected president, and he still has plans for an internet army of browbeaters. People. If you thought the Kool-Aid was strong before, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Transition officials call it Obama 2.0 — an ambitious effort to transform the president-elect's vast Web operation and database of supporters into a modern new tool to accomplish his goals in the White House. If it works, the new president could have an unprecedented ability to appeal for help from millions of Americans who already favor his ideas, bypassing the news media to pressure Congress.

Republicans say they'll be watching for White House Web outreach that appears overly political.

"Hopefully, Obama will be a president for all Americans, not just the political supporters on his e-mail list," said Republican National Committee spokesman Alex Conant.

Obama's team is determining how best to convert his army of online activists into a viral lobbying and communications machine. Staffers are reluctant to discuss specifics, but Obama clearly is poised to become the first truly "wired" president of the digital age.

Meanwhile, Australia's Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, an avid supporter of Obama, is drawing up plans to censor more than 10,000 unspecified, but objectionable websites from being viewed by the Australian people. You can see where this is heading, right?

BUSTED! -- OBAMA'S CHANGE.GOV SWITCHES MARXIST YOUTH CORPS FROM A REQUIREMENT TO A "GOAL"

Score one for the bloggers! The conservative blogosphere has brought change you can believe in.

We reported on this yesterday when Obama's presidential transition website had stated it was Obama's plan create a Marxist like youth corps and require America's youth to serve. Here's a screenshot of the site yesterday:

Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year.

Conservative bloggers jumped all over this youth corps requirement. And in less than 24 hours, Obama has changed his stance. The site now looks like this:

Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free.

One could look at this change in two ways. On one hand, you could say that Obama is showing good judgment by not implementing a plan that is clearly unconstitutional and that the reason it was changed is because that realization was made. On the other hand, you could say that Obama will try and get away with anything he can and that the only reason it was changed is because it was made public. I have only one thing to say about that. Vigilance!

TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT?: VIDEO OF OBAMA ON BANKRUPTING THE COAL INDUSTRY

WILL FARMERS BE UNDER ATTACK IN AN OBAMA ADMINISTRATION?

Here are statements Obama gave during an interview with Time Magazine:

As a consequence, our agriculture sector actually is contributing more greenhouse gases than our transportation sector. And in the mean time, it's creating monocultures that are vulnerable to national security threats, are now vulnerable to sky-high food prices or crashes in food prices, huge swings in commodity prices, and are partly responsible for the explosion in our healthcare costs because they're contributing to type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart disease, obesity, all the things that are driving our huge explosion in healthcare costs. That's just one sector of the economy.

Nice Obama. Blaming farming for global warming, increased healthcare costs, diabetes, stroke, obesity and heart disease. What say you eat your carbon credits, and we all eat regular food...grown by farmers? Deal?

OBAMA CAMPAIGN POSTER DESIGN STOLEN FROM COMMUNISTS

This stuff has ceased to silly and has entered the "clean your weapons and stockpile your pantry" stage.

This Obama campaign poster was spotted in Albany, California:


Turns out even this innocuous bit of silliness has a communist connection. The “Bark for Barack” poster is based on this famous graphic design by Soviet artist Alexander Rodchenko, who “used photo montage to enhance his images to create more powerful images that would be used for propaganda for the USSR.”

EARTH SHATTERING!: OBAMA CAUGHT IN SPEECH SAYING ACORN WILL HELP SHAPE HIS AGENDA

It starts at about 1:45. Obama is doing his cocky rooster strut and just keepin' it real when he tells the audience that ACORN will help shape his agenda.



This isn't something he can deny or spin. We already know they're helping shape his agenda. From his denial of the Fannie Mae Freddie Mac crisis to his nearly $1 million dollar payment to ACORN for them to help him "get out the vote, it's clear to anyone interested that they're shaping his agenda. It's also clear that America is going to pay a heavy price if this man is elected.

WHAT'S OBAMA READING?

Oh man...The fun never stops with this guy?

Can you use a photograph as a book blurb? If so, Fareed Zakaria might want to find a way to get this photo (by Doug Mills of the New York Times, via Shelf Awareness) on the cover of the paperback (or, the way it's selling, on the next hardcover edition) of The Post-American World. I love the way you can tell how far Obama's gotten in the book by where his finger is holding his place (which, as all bookworms know, is also body-language code for "Okay, I'll talk to you, but what I really want to do is get back to reading this book, which I will start doing as soon as you leave me alone."). (Also note what appears to be a flag pin!) I'd ask whether this shot will have the same effect on sales of Post-American World that photos of Posh Spice reading (or at least holding) Skinny Bitch did for that one, but Post-American has already spent most of this month in our Top 10 (currently #7, as one of the few books in the 10 not written by Stephenie Meyer).

Meanwhile, let's summarize: here we have the current frontrunner (barely) to be the 44th president of the United States (the son of a Kenyan man and an American woman, named Barack Obama), reading the top-selling current events book of the season (by an immigrant from Mumbai named Fareed Zakaria) called The Post-American World.
