"In America, we have this strong bias toward individual action. You know, we idolize the John Wayne hero who comes in to correct things with both guns blazing. But individual actions, individual dreams, are not sufficient. We must unite in collective action, build collective institutions and organizations." — Barack Obama, Chicago Reader, Dec. 8, 1995
Illinois Sen. Barack Obama was not only the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate in 2007, according to the National Journal, but if he becomes the Democratic Party's nominee, he will probably be the most liberal politician to ever to get it.
Obama’s past stands, including opposing the death penalty under any circumstances, believing that people should not be able to own handguns, talking about doubling the capital gains tax or opposing free trade are not the only things that get him classified as a liberal.

He said “collective!”
We must unite in collective action, build collective institutions and organizations....” don’t forget “collective farming...” that always works pretty well
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
John Wayne- typical white person.
I’m starting to believe he’s a crypto communist.
Leftists don’t understand the free market, don’t trust the individual to make good decisions, and love collectivism, but only under their own control.
Prof. Lott nails Obama’s hide to his wall.
But he'll be smart enough to avoid the word “socialist.”
The socialist has to lie to get into office, no rational person would otherwise vote for them.
No, wait, that's called a corporation and thus is EEEEEEEEVIL in Obama's collectivist world.
If only that were true.
“Obama is a leftist - not a liberal. There’s a difference there.”
Please tell me what the differences may be.

He’s a Marxist, pure and simple. Leftist does him no justice!!
“But individual actions, individual dreams, are not sufficient. We must unite in collective action, build collective institutions and organizations.” — Barack Obama, Chicago Reader, Dec. 8, 1995”
Really no other word but Communisim describes a belief like this.
Another way to say what Obama said is this:
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need (or needs).” Karl Marx
Obama here is very close to speaking out against private property.
Then what is Obama currently doing “oh that’s not what I meant, that’s not what I heard in church, that’s not what I tried to do”.
He’s doing a good job of “hiding” his true character, which, is lieing.
Of course, people like Obama think government was called to run every aspect of our lives.
After all, us little people in the 'small towns' are too bitter to take care of ourselves.
Quote of the day:
“Hillary Clinton tells lies, Barack Obama is himself a
lie.”
