Obama Blames Nation’s Problems on ‘221 years of freedom’

WASHINGTON, DC – December 17, 2009 –

In a prepared speech this afternoon, President Obama told reporters that he is fighting to overturn more than two centuries of freedom from monarchy and “a capitalist system that does not allow the commoner the chance to share in the riches of the business owner and the selfish.”

“I am working hard to reverse the problems this nation faces as a result of over-throwing a lawfully hereditary monarchy in favor of the failed, “free” capitalist system we now have,” he said. A year is hardly enough time to make the corrections we need. It will take me at least another seven years – more, if it can be arranged -- to put things right.”

Noting that the US Constitution was ratified in 1778, the president continued, “From the moment those white, rich, male, misogynistic Eurocentric slave owners signed their seditious “Declaration of Independence in 1776, to the ratification of the capitalistic Constitution that has constrained us from making needed changes to that failed plan, this nation that threw-off the benefits of monarchy and rule by the throne has suffered the consequences such errors must entail.”

Speaking before a full Congress of Democrats (Republicans and Fox News were locked-out to keep their hate speech from interfering with the event), Obama then went into detail on how the Constitution has been a disaster for the so-called United States.

“The requirement for endless elections has done nothing but keep removing from office those members of congress who have proven most able in getting needed changes implemented. I mean, just two years for a House term. How can anyone get anything done in such a short period of time. And just four years for a presidential term? How can I get anything done in only eight years?” The president then went on to find fault with the Constitution’s Article Seven (needing 2/3 of Congress and ¾ of the states to ratify an amendment}; the Second Amendment (“Who but trouble-makers need to have a firearm?”); The Third Amendment (prohibiting the Government from quartering soldiers in private homes); The Fifth and Sixth Amendments (“Why would anyone innocent of a crime want to hide anything or be concerned with going to trial quickly?”; and the Tenth Amendment (“Rights are correctly granted only by the Federal Government; anything else is simply anarchy and feeds into the failed capitalist system.”)

In summing-up his stem-winder, President Obama promised that he plans to sign agreements that will allow the UN and International Criminal Court to have power over domestic courts and commissions. “I soundly believe that until our government can be brought into the modern era after two centuries of artificial constraint, we will continue to be yoked to these many fantasies and capitalistic ideas.”

After Obama abruptly left the podium, questions from reporters to Robert Gibbs regarding a return to a hereditary monarchy and oversight by foreign governments were pushed aside with “no comment.”

Did I miss the vanity in the thread title? This isn’t serious right?

Can’t be, they’re too ironic for this to be something they’d post.

” result of over-throwing a lawfully hereditary monarchy”

Someone on this board posted the exact thing in reference to having respect for government in a Biblical way.

Speaking technically, there is no support for insurrection against tyrants like Charles in Scripture, except in cases where leaders demand disobedience toward God. Jesus and His disciples were willing to rot in prisons and be executed in horrible ways, but never battled against Rome or any other tyrannical nation.

Sadly, even our own Constitution does not explicitly give the citizenry power to maintain this nation by force, so that is why it will continue to colapse until an evil war begins, or medieval tyrants arise.

The Pretender-in-Chief has apoligized for almost everything this Republic has done.....before HE got here of course. The ONE will now make everything right.

“Sadly, even our own Constitution does not explicitly give the citizenry power to maintain this nation by force”

You’ve obviously never read the comments made by the founding fathers concerning the 2nd amendment.

Agree ... this is fiction. If not, he sets himself up perfectly for impeachment by not supporting the Constitution. This one I really doubt ... will be watching for “updates”.

Is this a serious article? Maybe not. But this article is, and as you can see, Obama’s has said things very similar to this in the past.
