In this case, a Marxist. Does anyone here really think that a leftist so-called 'intellectual' like Obama can actually be religious? Even his Black Liberation Theology isn't really about religion. BLT is rooted in violent revolutionary Marxism.
Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle, FrontPageMag.com

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...
Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

From "45 Communist Goals":
#27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion.

Catholics for Marx
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004
In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.
The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

"Their founding document [the Weather Underground's] called for the establishment of a "white fighting force" to be allied with the "Black Liberation Movement" and other "anti-colonial" movements[1] to achieve "the destruction of US imperialism and the achievement of a classless world: world communism."..."-Berger, Dan (2006). Outlaws of America: The Weather Underground and the Politics of Solidarity. AK Press, 95.

“Interesting that “Atlas Shrugged” was on the reading list for her professor... that’s about as anti-socialist, anti-anarchist as you can get.”
Not exactly. Some “extreme” Libertarians can sound quite anarchist, and particularly as they view the intersection of interests among large corporations and “large” government; seeing both as serving each other’s interests more than anything else.
Read the wiki entry of Ann Dunham.
She went to great pains to immerse O in Black American culture, in which he has no claim. It gives the appearance she was preparing him to “pass” for American black.
I agree with you, but the way. He is the Indonesian candidate.
What angers me is that the MSM is not bringing that out ... he’s not from slave relatives but a Kenyan/Indonesian and a White woman who was not married at the time ... why isn’t the MSM bringing that out? They sure are going after Sarah and her daughter big time .... GOD I HATE THOSE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!
Quoth Michelle:
“I have some difficulty reconciling the two images I have of Barack Obama. There’s Barack Obama the phenomenon. He’s an amazing orator, Harvard Law Review, or whatever it was, law professor, best-selling author, Grammy winner. Pretty amazing, right? And then there’s the Barack Obama that lives with me in my house, and that guy’s a little less impressive,”
I can’t imagine anyone being less impressive than Obama. Even Curtis Armstrong is more impressive than Obama, and I’d be more likely to vote for him as president. (After all, unlike “change”, “sometimes you’ve just got to say what the f***” actually means something)
Ayn Rand was an Objectivist, not a libertarian. She continually spoke out (both in her novels and her epistemological treatises) against the creep of socialism. Likewise, she was a cheerleader for the virtue of capitalism, particularly the growth of successful companies.
As far as anarchy is concerned, much of her writing dealt with the breakdown in society when individual responsibility turned to mob rule. She recognized the inherent value of ordered, modern society to the individual, so long as that individual’s rights were not trampled upon by society or the government.
You are objectively right. That has not stopped some extreme “libertarian” “conservatives”, to quote passages from Rand’s heroes as justification for their own near anarchic beliefs.
You are objectively right.
However:
1. That has not stopped some extreme “libertarian” “conservatives”, to quote passages from Rand’s heroes as justification for their own near anarchic beliefs.
2. And, as I said, that is often found to be the case when IN FACT large, extremely large “successful” corporations and big intrusive government are operating to protect the interest of THAT LARGE INTRUSIVE GOVERNMENT as a co-interest of the corporation itself.
3. And with SEEMINGLY good reason, sometimes
because, it is NOT automatic that a large, very large corporation is operating in the moral (individual liberty) manner envisioned by Rand simply because it is a “private” corporation.
I suggest you read “Liberal Fascism”. In one chapter the author explains the fascistic origins and government corporate-nexus of much “government regulation” concepts in the U.S. in the first half of the 1900s. Many of those concepts are still in operation and still held to be true in much of corporate America as in government.
