This is good, aside from his BC or his religion (or lack thereof). The typical Obamabot probably has the same attitude toward this country.
“He may or may not have been ‘born’ an American. What is indisputable is that he was not ‘raised’ an American”.
This is the 100% truth of the matter. He was not raised as an American. His worldview from the time he was a child was not American. It was continually reinforced through his adolescence and adulthood.
Your last line is dead on.
The simple fact is Obama could win himself millions of extra votes if he’d just announce (while lying through his teeth) that he was a champion of free-market capitalism. But of course, he can’t bring himself to utter those words for obvious reasons. He’s too much of a committed, socialist ideologue to spit those words out of his mouth. He can talk about America’s greatness, but he only means it in the sense that the takers continue taking from the producers. In reality he abhors free-market capitalism and wishes to destroy all vestiges of it.
Because he is destroying this Country!
I would suggest that aspiration, and even greed, are very different from envy; I would consider only the latter synonymous with covetousness. A person who is covetousness of his neighbor's property is one who harbors ill feelings towards his neighbor as a consequence of such property. Whereas most of the Seven Deadly Sins represent necessary things taken to excess (eating, sex, assertiveness, rest/recuperation, aspiration, and satisfaction), envy serves no useful purpose even in moderation.
