Conservatives, Rejoice: Obama Did the ‘Wright’ Thing

The author has clearly chosen a path (I like Obama), and then chosen a reasoning to justify BHO’s 20 year association w. a second rate imitation of a NAZI — “he’s reborn” etc. You want a black leader who can change things, they’re around, but they’re doing things — Clarance Thomas and Condi Rice are prime examples — as are many, many others — but they haven’t made a career of being black. They’ve made a career of being lawyers, doctors, businessmen, etc.

BHO isn’t the messiah, but he is a consumate politician, who specializes in selling a wonderful sounding delusion, provided you’re willing to give up rational thought.

Ignore the titles “Progressive” and “Communist” and start comparing key phrases from HRC’s and BHO’s speeches w. an English translation of Marx… It’s the same idea. And, the same one that has failed miserably every time it’s been tried. It sounds wonderful, but it doesn’t work. Monarchy, and Theocracy sound wonderful as well, but also don’t work.

What has made America unique, and allowed us to create an astonishing standard of life for ourselves, is that we went w. the rights of the individual, including the right to property.

A prime example of this would be to compare Texas and Mexico. Circa 1836, Mexico was a wealthy nation, well populated, w. lots of natural resources, and prime agricultural land, under a military dictator. There was a revolt in a poor territory w. almost no natural resources, by Mexican citizens demanding their rights under the Mexican constitution of 1824, following years of abuses, and attempts to get Santa Anna to recognize trial by jury, etc.

In the following years, both countries develop, but TX far outstrips Mexico in progress, despite starting far behind, and having far fewer resources.

Now part of the US, and, as such, losing it’s dedication to the freedom of the individual, it’s slowing down, and the rest of the world, including Mexico, is starting to catch up, as they’ve embraced individual property rights for a larger section of the population. (Mexico still has “peons”, and “dons” but there are middle class property owners now.)
