Obama Calls Capitalism an “Outdated Ideology”
Semi-News/Semi-Satire | 25 Oct 2008 | John Semmens

Posted on 10/25/2008 10:01:18 AM PDT by John Semmens

With several polls showing him pulling into a double-digit lead over his presidential rival Senator John McCain (R-Ariz), Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill) elaborated on some of his planned changes for America.

“The idea that businesses and individuals should be free to selfishly make decisions for their own benefit is an outdated ideology,” Obama asserted. “This will change in an Obama Administration. When I’m president the government will ensure that all decisions are reviewed so that only those that conform to the pursuit of the common good are undertaken.”

Obama acknowledged that “there might be some resistance to the fundamental changes we intend to make, but make no mistake, we will not be turned aside from our mission.”

“Once the majority of Americans are receiving a check from the government there is no way that the wealthy minority will be able to prevent our efforts to spread their wealth around,” Obama boasted. “The Civilian National Security Force I intend to establish will help ensure compliance.”

The Illinois senator contrasted what he called his humane approach to dealing with opponents to that of the Bush Administration. “Unlike Bush, we will not be torturing our enemies in a remote military prison at Guantanamo,” Obama said. “We will gently reeducate and rehabilitate those blinded to the truth by a lifetime of capitalistic brainwashing. We won’t give up on them, no matter how long it takes for them to come around to the right way of thinking.”

In related news, talk show blowhard, Joy Behar of The View urged Obama to consider a “preemptive strike against domestic terrorists like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. These fomenters of dissent and opposition should be taken out before they destroy the ‘new America’ Obama is going to give us.”

McCain is not my guy. I was for Tom Tancredo. When Tom dropped out of the race, he threw his support to Mitt. I voted for Mitt in FL primary and that RINO ass Charlie Crist backed McCain. I loathe McCain’s palm Lindsey Graham who is probably a friend of Dorthy as is Crist. We are stuck but we have Sarah. When we win we need to get in McCain and the GOP’s faces. I get it - conservatism wins.

I have been banned from FR before for blasting RINOs including Bush and McCain. I got zapped within a few posts. If I get banned again then big deal. If people silence critics like that they are as bad as Obama. Go for it.

I am sure I have donated more to the GOP/RNC, McCain, NRA and Tancredo’s PAC to get Republicans elected and to stop Obama than many others here. I promised not to do it again after amnesty Bush stabbed us in the back.

I am sure I have given more than most in 2000, 2004 and 2008. I do not like the GOP and loathe RINOs. I am sick of conservatives saying “well if we lose then we will get a Reagan in 4 years.” Keep dreaming. If Obama wins, he will have planes and ships lined up to flood more illegals in from Somalia, Kenya, Middle East and you name it. Millions of them. If that happens it is all over, done, finished. Just like the left did to destroy the UK.

I also volunteered my time in 2004 and in this cycle to win votes for Repub. Have you made any calls to GOTV? How many?

I am sick of conservative Repubs sitting on their checkbooks so I have to make it up by giving until my eyes are bleeding. I mean really eff ***.

Please press the ban me button. I could care less. Let FR ban me again. It will be the last time. Ban me - silence me just like Obama and the MSM will try to silence me.

GOTV, donate and volunteer.

Actually, this is pretty accurate.

He believes capitalism and the free markets are a failed policy and has said so.

So this is less satirical than one might think.
