Since its inception, America has been defined by liberty -- both the liberty of the individual and the liberty of the nation. As the Declaration of Independence more elegantly states, "Goverments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." If we, the people make a social compact by which we consent to be governed, it means that government is our servant, not our master. Lincoln understood that ours is a nation boasting a "government of the people, by the people[, and] for the people."
This uniquely American precept, one that sees the power of government flowing from the people rather than controlling the people, ideally results in a situation in which citizens are subject to minimal government constraints. As the Founders envisioned American government, the state exists to optimize individual freedoms, not to control the individual.

Anita Dunn: "The third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers, Mao Tse Tung and Mother Teresa. Not often coupled with each other, but the two people that I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point, which is: You're going to make choices. ... But here's the deal: These are your choices; they are no one else's.
"In 1947, when Mao Tse Tung was being challenged within his own party on his own plan to basically take China over, Chiang Kai-Shek and the nationalist Chinese held the cities, they had the army. ... They had everything on their side. And people said 'How can you win? How can you do this against all of the odds against you?'
"And Mao Tse Tung says, 'You fight your war and I'll fight mine.' You don't have to accept the definition of how to do things. ... You fight your war, you let them fight theirs. Everybody has their own path."..."
[The following is NOT from Anita Dunn. It's from the author of the linked CNS News article...]
Policies implemented under Mao Tse Tung, including the civil war, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, and persecution in Tibet, among other policies, led to death of an estimated 65 million people, according to The Black Book of Communism (Harvard University Press), which is considered by scholars as one of the best sources on communist atrocities.
Mao also outlawed religion and sent at least 2.5 million people to re-education camps, called laogai, which were similar to the slave-labor camps in the Gulag of the Soviet Union. An estimated 1,000 laogai reportedly are still in operation today

"Jones was arrested during the L.A. riots and spent a short time in jail. "I met all these young radical people of color," he recalls, 'I mean really radical: communists and anarchists. And it was, like, "This is what I need to be a part of." I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary.'..."

From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots. During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.
Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

Can there be NO Doubt?
ping for later read
Is a pig’s ass pork?
I would no more call Barack 0bama anti-American than I would call Fred Phelps anti-gay.
zerobamarhoid 2nd looks more like Davis than his alleged father, zerobamarhoid 1st.
Which one doesn't belong?
I’m not sure who the woman is. Zero’s mother, perhaps?
I’ve not seen this photo before.
Well, since no marriage certificate can be found, no witnesses, and the resemblence is not there for his alleged father, and Dunham was noted for whoring around, Davis was available, alleged daddy goes back to Africa.. who knows?
Maybe it’s neither.
We need federal level term limits and recall to deal with people like Barry the Buffoon. Keep the faith.
This is why the founding fathers wanted both parents to be american citizens and thier offspring born on US soil.
Those white guys were the best!
If this ahole gave money to anyone that has splilled American blood , then he needs to be lined up in front of a military firing squad and put out of his misery.
Where’s the proof?
Interesting. Zer0’s face mostly looks like his mother’s, of course, but he doesn’t look a damn thing like BHO I. Looks more like FMD, but if I were him I’d still demand a DNA test.
That’s an absolute in my voting life anyway. The 1st time I voted was ‘68.
Barry is a dithering idiot and on the other hand he is an Anti-American-African
