Obama Bitter About Free Markets

FoxNews.com ^ | April 14, 2008 | John R. Lott, Jr

[avacado]

He said “collective!”

[ConservativeDude]

We must unite in collective action, build collective institutions and organizations....” don’t forget “collective farming...” that always works pretty well

[goldstategop]

Obama is a leftist - not a liberal. There's a difference there.

"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

[petercooper]

John Wayne- typical white person.

[Red Steel]

I’m starting to believe he’s a crypto communist.

[SkyDancer]

Hey Obama - if you put your idea of hope and future in one hand and a gun in the other ... see which one is filled up .....

[MrB]

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.

[1rudeboy]

Prof. Lott nails Obama’s hide to his wall.

[Red6]

Yes he did.

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.

[KarlInOhio]

How about an organization where people come together to achieve a common goal. New members may join by either convincing a current member to share his membership for a mutually agreeable price, or the organization as a whole can allow new members under similar terms.

No, wait, that's called a corporation and thus is EEEEEEEEVIL in Obama's collectivist world.

[2001convSVT]

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.

“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

[huntcity]

He’s a Marxist, pure and simple. Leftist does him no justice!!

[HereInTheHeartland]

“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

[Red Steel]

...We must unite in collective action, build collective institutions and organizations." — Barack Obama, Chicago Reader, Dec. 8, 1995

Obama here is very close to speaking out against private property.

[fightinbluhen51]

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.

[MEGoody]

This country did pretty well with individuals working to solve problems and pursuing their dreams. The only time a 'collective' was needed was for the few things government was called to do, i.e. form a military, build interstate road systems.

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.

“Hillary Clinton tells lies, Barack Obama is himself a
lie.”
