Obama: Racial Unity Can Overcome Capitalism
Scrappleface ^ | March 18, 2008 | Scott Ott

Posted on 03/19/2008 11:34:16 AM PDT by ari-freedom

In a landmark address on race, which has already eclipsed Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have a Dream‘ speech, Democrat presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama today said the U.S. can achieve the Founding Fathers’ vision of “a more perfect union” only if black and white come together to overthrow the bourgeoisie who run the military-industrial complex and control the means of production.

In distancing himself from the “wrong” and “divisive” racially-charged preaching of his long-time pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Sen. Obama simultaneously defused America’s racial tensions, while filling his listeners with “the audacity to hope that the empire of American military and economic might would soon come to an end.”

“When the means of production are in the hands of you, the proletariat,” Sen. Obama told an audience in Philadelphia, “only then will black and white blend together in harmony the way they do in my own DNA.”

The Democrat presidential frontrunner painted a picture of “a glorious future when America shall truly be one nation, under God, in which God administers schools, hospitals and most other sectors of the economy through his anointed servants in the federal government, using the harvest of plenty gathered from the pockets of black people and white people alike.”

Scrappleface got me again.

The most effective humor is that which has an element of truth.

Notice, however, that all the problems we face, according to the left, can be solved with more socialism and less freedom for the individual?

A classic Marx verse. As for the bourgeosie, they’re the ones who are paying for the welfare that Obama’s constituency lives off of.

Amen Brother Obama... I drank the Kook Juice..I saw the light that came down on me and showed me that you are the truth and the savior of America... It told me do not pay attention to the man behind the curtain because you were the great and powerful Obama who can transcend race even though your mentor was a radical loon bent on the destruction of Whitey and you can transcend political parties even though you are sponsored by the far left kooks at KOS and Move on.... I believe you Obama when you say I sat in the pews and yes I heard the rants... and you took the correct action by not addressing that to your mentor and friend because.... friends are hard to come by for folks like you... I mean you are the transcendent politician the black, white, brown, liberal, conservative, moderate, war hawk, peace lover, pro-choice of Life candidate for the 21st century...

it is true...I think. obama expected this to come out after he won the nomination and with the assumption the economy would be bad. then he could blame race attacks on the conservatives who brought it up.

Capitalism creates wealth, socialism DESTROYS it.

Yep, uses it UP.

The most prevalent argument you’ll see out of leftists for any socialist program is

“in a country as rich as ours we should be able to provide...X,Y,Z”

Or, as my non-thinking lib MIL says, “The money’s OUT THERE.”

URP would have gone bankrupt years ago if they didnt allow some of their elite to practice capitalism.. JUST enough capitalism to keep the Slavery by Givernment afloat..

America is going that way too.. One wonders what the American economy would be like of socialism was abolished.. In that case every productive company on earth would be fighting to come to be headquartered in America. instead of China and India.. They would be crying for America workers..

URP also has another advantage.

They don’t have to spend money on defense, because big bad capitalist USA DOES.

Ah, I see. It just seemed like something a Democrat candidate would actually say.

Well, maybe not "actually say" - more like, this is what they actually think and believe.
