American citizens, given the current state of things, might want to mull on the significance of this remark.
If those words were considered, the great and self-professed benevolent "redistributor" and "fair share" advocate might be exposed, and a better understanding of terms might influence voter opinion.
"Fair share" is just "slavery" by another name. Government "masters" buy votes in exchange for retaining their "master redistributionist" status, while their "voters" yield up freedom for themselves and future generations.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C. S. Lewis
All who doubt the wisdom of Lewis might watch a YouTube video of the President's remarks at a National Prayer Breakfast. There, Obama arrogantly misappropriated Jesus's spiritual challenge to individuals, claiming those words as validating and authorizing abusive use of coercive power by himself and his cronies to "take" from some in order to buy votes and accumulate more power to themselves--all in the name of "helping" the beneficiaries of such unconstitutional "takings."
Hear Samuel Adams:
"Is it now high time for the people of this country to explicitly declare whether they will be free men or slaves. It is an important question which ought to be decided. It concerns more than anything in this life. The salvation of our souls is interested in this event. For wherever tyranny is established, immorality of every kind comes in like a torrent, it is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice.” - Samuel Adams
And:
“The utopian schemes of leveling and a community of goods, are as visionary and impractical as those which vest all property in the crown. These ideas are arbitrary, despotic, and, in our government unconstitutional.” - Samuel Adams
“O’s” Legacy...?
Well, it proves (if you NEED proof at this point) the definitively epic fail of both the MSM (the premier sausage factory of all time) and the NEA.
TOGETHER, these organizations have effectively devalued academic rigor (without which education cannot properly be CALLED education) and trivialized journalistic ethics to the level of broad farce!
On the one hand, they generate shamefully unfit poseurs and foist them into leadership roles… and on the other hand… they systematically and routinely, mass produce the fat lazy cattle who wouldn’t DREAM of challenging MSM hype… even IF they had the least intellectual integrity or the faintest recollection of HOW to demand honesty and ethical conduct from these self-crowned ‘journo-politicos’ who by now, RUN this country!
Garbage IN and garbage OUT!
Consequences of a government.Yes you get what you didn’t vote for.
