'SHARE THE WEALTH' WITH THE WORLD?
NYPOST.COM ^ | 1 Nov 08 | PETER SCHWEIZER

Posted on 11/01/2008 7:17:28 AM PDT by elhombrelibre

Barack Obama doesn't simply want to "spread the wealth around" here in America: He's on record as favoring redistribution on a global scale.

As the Democrat explained last year in Foreign Affairs, he thinks we need to be "sharing more of our riches to help those in need" around the world and promised to double American foreign assistance. He also proposed a multibillion-dollar Global Education Fund to eliminate what he calls the "global education deficit."

Obama has already acted on these beliefs. In the Senate, he co-sponsored the Global Poverty Act, which calls on the US to allocate 7/10ths of 1 percent of our GNP to foreign aid and debt relief. (That's $845 billion more than we're now set to spend over the next 13 years.)

He doesn’t exactly lead with a good personal example.

If there’s a child on the south side of Chicago who can’t read, that matters to me, even if it’s not my child. If there’s a senior citizen somewhere who can’t pay for her prescription and has to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it’s not my grandmother. If there’s an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties. It’s that fundamental belief — I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper — that makes this country work. It’s what allows us to pursue our individual dreams, yet still come together as a single American family. “E pluribus unum.” Out of many, one.

-—BARACK OBAMA, July 27, 2004

“That’s the promise of America — the idea that we are responsible for ourselves, but that we also rise or fall as one nation; the fundamental belief that I am my brother’s keeper; I am my sister’s keeper.

That’s the promise we need to keep. That’s the change we need right now.”

-—BARACK OBAMA, August 28, 2008

“Yeah, well - the - yeah, I think most people understand - that if you’re not - caring for your family - then - you’re probably not - the kind of person who’s gonna be caring for other people.”

-—BARACK OBAMA

Where do I apply to stake my claim?

I'm not a greedy man: thirteen million United States dollars in unmarked small bills will do me just fine.

Or if it is more convenient, you can wire my share of your wealth directly to my Cook Islands tax shelter bank account.

Either way I promise to put your my money to good use.

One thing, tho' -- do you suppose anyone would mind if I asked for it in Euros? Their currency will be less prone to tank in the medium-to-long-term.

Thanks in advance! And don't forget to pay early or on time in order to avoid penalty fees.

Is it just me? “If there’s an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney.” Would you ever say that? It’s like I care about children, old people and Arab Americans. Now I like Arab Amertcans as much as the next guy, but.

American is founded on the fact and cause of freedom. Take this moment in history to TEACH others, especially our children, what America is about-—that it is the living, breathing refutation of Socialism which leads to Communism which leads to Totalitarianism.

“We The People” -—

A very inspiring video to pass around on the weekend before the Election:

The new Trinity Church website has eliminated much of the ‘creed’ - and obambi’s statement in the beginning of his goal to ‘rebuild Africa’ = that is where most of the money he intends to take from us will be ‘redistributed’ -

On the old Trinity Church website, they spelled it out - but since being ‘discovered’, they have a totally new website which leaves most of their Liberationist goals out (out of public view) [..but they do still declare:

” Our History

We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent, the cradle of civilization...”

” We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent” = NOT American people. Not even African American. AFRICAN PEOPLE. and the country they are ‘true to’ = AFRICA.

The liberationist goal is the “make whitey pay.” Through reparations, through taxes, through going to the back of the bus.

I sometimes wonder if even the obamination knows the full extend of what will be unleashed on this country by his puppeteers if they get him in. I doubt most democrats have a clue.
If they get in power, there will be a lot of white democrats that have been kneeling at his feet that will be rudely awakened when they find out they have been useful idiots - now take your seat at the back...

He is a totally self-absorbed pile of crap, and I’m putting that nicely. A hypocrite of the worst order.

The world doesn’t need people like the Obamas, it needs none of them.

BO does intend to be ‘his brother's keeper’ and your keeper and my keeper...

“Am I my brother's keeper?” has become, over the centuries, perhaps the most misunderstood statement in the Bible.

Cain, when answering God's question as to where his (slain) brother was, snidely remarked. “How should I know. Am I my brother's keeper?”

Keeper meant Jailer = even the main jail in London was called “the Keep”. Located in the famous Tower of London, The White Tower or "The Keep" is the original tower, now over 900 years old... The Bloody Tower held many inmates, including children. ..The Tower has been the setting of countless executions. Many notable English people heard the frightful words: "You are sentenced to the Tower!"

Cain was being flippant, saying “How should I know. Am I my brother's [jailer?]”

So, yes. Obama intends to be his [white] brother's ‘keeper.’

The answer to the question: “Am I my brother's keeper?” should always be “NO. I am my brother's helper.”

Obama has said in at least one of his campaign talks that he is a citizen of the world.

That’s as specific as he will get.

We’ve been doing this for years - it’s called foreign aid, and it’s money down a rat hole. Politicians are always “generous” with our money. It’s the main reason Republicans are in trouble this year. They spent our money almost as freely as the Dems would have.

Obama says those making more than $97,000 are the “upper class”!

I.e., the rich.

I.e., the rich who should be and will be soaked to help this country further along on The Road to Serfdom.
