Just as he did with the Wright controversy, Obama initially did deny the comments. Then, again, just as he did with the Wright controversy, Obama said, “I was misquoted & what I meant to say was…. Finally, almost like the Wright controversy, Obama said, “I am sorry my comments offended, but, they are true.” (therefore, you rubes need me watching out for you & running your lives!)
The comments, along with Obama’s history & his politics, exposes a seriously radical leftist mentality that disdains anything that is not collectivist, socialist, leftist, or more accurately, Marxist mentality.
That attitude has been sold to the masses over the decades, & has only eventually produced serious suffering every time the average people of a nation have bought into it!
The man is a study in Marxism. His childhood adviser was a Marxist. His preacher sure sounds like one or one who embraces many socialist/Marxist ideals. The man wants America to reflect the views of the very failed states of old Russia that are still trying to rise up out of the muck & mire of that misery producing political philosophy.
Socialism has North Korea, Venezuela, the old Soviet Union, & other failed &/or failing socialist states to hold up as examples. By now, even the Chinese are abandoning many of their objections to democracy ideals (albeit at a painfully slow pace), & free markets & they are prospering because the have.
Obama made comments at a party of wealthy contributors. No big deal since ALL politicians depend on wealthy donors. It skews the process & subverts the will “of the people,” but it is also our reality.
However, he made these condescending socialist comments w/the expectation he could get away with it among his peers. Now that is patronizing! The comments are an example of how he & his cohorts have filtered out who the “real” Barack Obama is. And who he is, is not very pretty.
Faith, to those who believe, is not something one “clings to pathetically.” Faith is some-thing believers embrace in bad times for solace & in good times in thanks. Clinging implies its false. Only a leftist &/or actual non-believer would start from that premise.
Some people actually do enjoy sport shooting, hunting, & have an actual reason to carry a gun for their own protection. Its easy to say that’s what the police are for, but in reality by the time the overworked police get to the scene, many are dead already because they have no means of defense! Those people “hired” to
protect out patronizing class, also carry guns for protection of those very same patronizing people. WHY is it OK for “them” to carry guns or be protected by those who do, but us “folk” are bitter & frustrated clingers if we do? Many average people have as much training as those professional gun carrying guards do!
Additionally, the premise that just because one has an opposition view on the illegal alien issue, does not mean they are bitter, frustrated, or have an antipathy toward those who may be different from them. Perhaps, just perhaps, some actually care about our laws & recognize that by glutting America w/ slave labor rate employees, the elite greedy are also driving down wages of those bitter & frustrated folk who have to deal with the consequences of those who enable those who break laws to come here, stay here, drive here, work here, collect social services here, & commit crimes here. Not all “immigrants” do these things. Those who are serious about being actual “immigrants” probably do not. Those who actually plan to work here & return home probably do not. However, there is a large percentage of illegal aliens who have no intention to be “immigrants.” They are users & abusers of ANY society, including that of their native country.
Where illegal aliens are from is NOT the issue.
The consequences of their actions IS! And if many of those nations who want us to embrace their citizens who come to America & just want to work, those governments would simply work with our government to effectively & legally deal w/ their citizens legally rather than finance & enable them to come here illegally, stay here illegally, & game our legal systems to stay here illegally, then we may not have some of the problems we currently face!
This nation also faces serious problems with illegal drugs & many tons are crossing over our porous & virtually unprotected southern border. There are not enough BP Agents & I doubt we could hire enough. A fence would seriously impair illegal crossing activities & especially crossings by those burdened with backpacks loaded down with drugs. It would also seriously slow down crossings by any who may fit a terrorist profile. (Yes, when it comes to terrorists, I think there IS a profile & we must address it or suffer consequences.)
If Americans are frustrated, it might be because we are tired of patronizing politicians who speak one voice to us, & another altogether behind our backs. And worse, those politicians who tell us they care while they enable actions & policies whose results we see as detrimental to our national interests!
Turning our government over to someone planning billions more in “additional” taxes, plus planning on seriously reducing spending on our national defense as we face radicals who plan to destroy our country & kill as many as they can, & who plans to introduce an incredibly expensive additional cost to
“compel” Americans to join a national health care system similar to those failing in Britain & Canada (go see the large contingent of foreigners at major Americans hospitals here for treatment because the wait in their own nation would leave them dead!), plus one who wants to compel us to spend trillions (the price tag is actually totally unknown since none can even begin to determine what to do let alone how to do it), to save the planet by reducing temperatures by a half a degree F over a fifty year period, if that, simply makes NO sense at all.
We need less government intrusion, not more!
Bush has done a terrible job on a number of issues. Ironically, Bush was elected NOT as a real Republican, but as the alternative to Kerry & Gore. One of their presidencies were seen as even worse than Bush by many Americans.
McCain is not a real Republican. He is a crossover candidate. Real Republican platforms positions will never be represented to the public so long as we get compromise candidates.
The same holds true for Democrats, unless they actually do intend to drive the nation into deeper bankruptcy & give the government total control of our everyday lives. Personally, I don’t think that mentality reflects real Democrats wants & desires. But hey, I’m a conservative Christian free market Republican, so what do I know!
