A most revealing window into our president

I am very sensitive to two words in the english language:
1. Why
2. Fair.

The word “why” is the most loaded and deadly word there is. It is the difference between self defence and first degree murder. It can be accusational. It can completely change the meaning of an event or action.

The word “fair” is one of the most subjective words in the English language. It is why you see words like “love” and “forgiveness” all over in the bible but you rarely see the word “fair”. It is almost a hollow plea when it is used and based on the speakers viewpoint which favors one side. Maybe that is why the word “fair” or its derivitives shows up in the Bible as an admonishment for judges to judge “fairly”. They are supposed to be unbiased third parties.

I really hate the word “fair”. I LOVE the word “why”. The former is the root of confusion and conflict. The latter brings clarity and common understanding.

In politics, the word FAIR means rigging the game to benefit the ruling elite and keep them in power.

I believe Kraut voted for him.

I also believe Kraut despises Palin because she didn’t go to the ‘right’ schools (his exact words). Fox in general supports Romney, as does Kraut.

Of course the Dems would go for Romney or Huntsman: they’re Democrats, whereas 0bama and the rest of his cronies are Marxist totalitarians.

Return of the Real Obama (He was always a phony centrist, now we see his real socialist core)

When was he a centrist?

I must have dozed off that day.

[LZ_Bayonet]

"The authentic Obama is a leveler, a committed social democrat, a staunch believer in the redistributionist state, a tribune, above all, of “fairness” — understood as government-imposed and government-enforced equality."

BS, there is no universal definition of "equality". Only one person's definition imposed by CONTROL. Obama's first goal must always be CONTROL; IMHO his private dream is fascism.

I really don't think Obama is a Marxist, or a Socialist, or a Communist or any other kind of 'ist'. And I think it weakens criticism of him to assert something that's arguably not true: you're inviting an argument about semantics, not Obama.

What he and many others, Democrat and Republican alike, are are corrupt politicians who want to expand government so they'll have more 'product' to sell. If Obama stands out from that crowd it's only because he's more shameless than most. Let's pound on that table and forget the name-calling.

[GeronL]

My question exactly... was it back when he wanted a global welfare system? or when he said he wanted to take Joe’s money and spread it around? or could it be the day he said he wanted to bankrupt the coal industry and that electricity (or was it energy?) prices would necessarily skyrocket under his plan?

[neverdem]

I really don't think Obama is a Marxist, or a Socialist, or a Communist or any other kind of 'ist'.

The rats are so far left now, that "In the 2004 general election, the CPUSA endorsed Democratic Presidential nominee John Kerry and in 2008 Barack Hussein Obama."[8],[9],[10]

FAIR is something that comes around once a year and then it costs money.

Sounds fair.
