Right on. There is NO LIMIT as to how far to the left Obama REALLY is.
You’re right! Great article by Cal Thomas!
He could’ve included the Reverend Ike’s quote, “The best way to help the poor is to not become one of them.”
The weak cannot become strong but the strong can be made weak. That is Socialism/Communism.
They are told that because of factors beyond their control - race, class, poverty - it is impossible for them to do anything for themselves and so they must increasingly rely on government.
There are many other factors that can make an individual think he/she cannot succeed, other than the currently fashionable categories of race, gender, income, etc., but they are all crutches which are encouraged by todays political culture.
Both are from Calvin Coolidge. First, "Don't expect to build up the weak by pulling down the strong" and "The wise and correct course to follow in taxation and in all other economic legislation is not to destroy those who have already secured success, but to create conditions under which everyone will have a better chance to be successful."
"Silent Cal" was a wise man who has been denigrated by the left. He also said, in sympathy with but disdain for politicians, "It is easy for politicians to spend money. After all, there is all tnis money just lying round which doesn't seem to bel;ong to anyone."
We know know it bel0mgs to us and they have no right to spend it, but alas, those are bygone days.
If Hussein gets in then Cal will be one of the first to get either re-educated or disapeared.

It is a good article, but I have one critique on it. It is the manner in which the idea to make money is used. I consider a person's ability to , make money , more a matter of their ability to the acquisition and accumulation of wealth.
The failed ones will never make money. They will consistently fail to contribute to society as even though the government is putting money in their pocket, it is not money they have made.
