Minus 12: Obama Calls UnitedStates ‘A Former Colony’
Cybercast News Service ^ | 11/8/12 | Patrick Burke

Posted on 11/08/2012 12:08:54 PM PST by Nachum

In his re-election victory speech on Tuesday night, President Barack Obama referred to the United States as a singular “former colony,” when the United States was actually composed of 13 separate colonies prior to gaining independence from the British. “Thank you so much. Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward,” said Obama, which was the first sentence of his remarks in Chicago, Ill. Before the United States won its independence from Great Britain with the Treaty of Paris in 1783,

“former colony,”

Oboma admitted in his own books he's an "Anti-Colonialist. "

In Obomas mind, a third world country with a self serving dictator (him) is the ultamate utopia.

This is really trivial and after reading the actual quote, I attribute the error to poetic license. We really need to pick and choose our battles. If this is the most newsworthy Obama issue of the day, then no wonder miliions of Republicans stayed home on Election Day.

What you said.

Right. So "Macaca" was poetic license, too, and yet it got 2 weeks of front page stories from the Compost. And "Syria is Iran's route to the sea" was poetic license, too.

This is an incremental battle. I'm for anything that helps to counter the Enemedia's narrative that only the 'pubic'-school crowd is smart and educated. There's nothing wrong with being accurate and detail-oriented. We have plenty of time for battles and skirmishes of all sizes.

I consider it a Freudian slip. It's exactly what he meant. He hates colonialism.

“former colony” fits in with Obama’s anti-colonialism viewpoint and dreams of his father.


Saw 2016 and that was the first thought that came to my mind when I saw your

When I was studying American history in my 4th grade social studies class, he was studying the Koran in Indonesia. What do you expect?

I pick nits with the best, but this is overly picky.

I agree with you.

He has no clue about America. He was raised in his early years as a Muslim in Indonesia. He does not know what it was like to play Little League baseball, say the pledge to the flag, go to a Christian church where love was preached instead of hatred against whitey, go to picnics on the 4th of July, or any of the things that has made America what it was. He is the embodiment of a foreigner coming to this great nation to bring it to its knees for the sins of the colonial period and slavery. He does not want this country to be great, no matter what the teleprompter says.

Many of those people with 40 hour work weeks or 30 hour work weeks, like waitresses, are not going to be pleased when hours are cut down to 29 a week and they have to go fight for another part-time jobs. Thanks, Obamacare. How is that working out for you Obama voter waitresses? Do any of you really think that class warfare is going to make your life better? Businessmen are not going to bust their butts in the face of higher taxes and regs to expand their business. Why go through the effort? Instead of working 12-16 hour days, they will spend more time enjoying their families.

I do not see a path to how we ever get this nation back. The RATS are going to give voting rights to millions of illegals, who will, of course, be Democrat voters. Oh, I take that back. There is one path to survival — the impeachment of Obama and Biden. That, of course, is not going to happen.

Israel’s survival will be dependent on striking Iran before they have the capability to deliver a nuke. With the Gulf of Hormuz closed to shipping, the oil doesn’t get here. Since we haven’t been able to exploit our own resources, gas is rationed and $10 per gallon. Those of you who voted for Obama, how are you going to enjoy taking the bus instead of driving your car?

Millions more are going to be on foodstamps and other government assistance. But Sandra Fluke will get her birth control pills.

There will be a rise in crime, perhaps food riots. Those without weapons will be at the mercy of roving gangs whom the police cannot control. They will break into homes and raid stores with overwhelming force.

I don’t want to see this, but this is what I see. God help us all. Except the Democrats, who brought this Muslim nightmare to the Oval Office.

Many more cities in California will be forced to file for bankruptcy. It will spread to other states. The unions think this was a great victory. Enjoy it while you can, fools.

I apologize to my son and daughter for not fighting hard enough to give them the America in which I was raised. We have failed them. We have to all protect our families from the coming nightmare. Stock up on long term food products and ammunition. The police will not be able to protect us.

“No, no, no, not God bless America; God damn America.” It is coming to pass before our very eyes.

I tend to agree that the 'error' is trivial; HOWEVER, what is not trivial is the substance that underlies the recurring anti Empire theme that Obama espouses. THIS nugget was more of the same garbage...

I think the silly crap like this turned off a lot of independents and undecideds.

‘He has no clue about America.’

Totally agree. His formative years were not spent here.

‘________who brought this Muslim nightmare to the Oval Office.’

Can you, or anyone, explain to me how it was that the first president elected after 9-11 is a big-time Muslim sympathizer?

If anyone has said, say, in 2003 or 2004, to ‘just watch - we’ll have a Muslim sympathizer as president in 2009,’ I would have said that was ‘horribly crazy - no way would that EVer happen . . .’

lol...I was just talking to my wife about that very thing (except I said 9/12/01). Either way, yeah, unbelievable the situation we find ourselves in.

‘_______unbelievable the situation we find ourselves in.’

Hope someone has a good answer to my question!

Just how did this happen - ?
We have a bunch of Saudi Muslims take down New York City buildings, hit the Pentagon, and cause heroes to plunge into a field in Penn.
In 2001.

The first president of the U.S. elected after 9-11-01 is a big time Muslim sympathizer, had 2 Muslim fathers.
What the HE__???
Who and what put these ducks in a row??

And America elects him into the highest office in the land.
And puts him back on 11-6-12.

Do we call this insane, or what?

-———Enemedia & “pubic-school” -——— classic

Agree on the hold them to the details. Too many times Obama says exactly what he means but is given the alternate interpretation. e.g. fundamentally transform
America.

Also notice on the Five, Beckel jumps all over Makers vs Takers....

Reason. It’s reality, and easily remembered. ... Even in the ghettos and gangs
they know the meaning within their own “ caste” system
