Barack Obama: The United States Was ‘Founded on Inequality’
Breitbart ^ | 6/1/2019

Posted on 06/01/2019 6:33:54 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

Barack Obama asserted that the United States was founded on inequality, despite the Constitution enshrining equality into the law.

Obama said: You know Brazil just thinks the United States was founded on inequality and we have to admit that even though the United States has a Constitution that says, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,’ At that time not only were blacks excluded, but women were excluded, and people who didn’t own property were excluded.

Obama commented on his understanding of the founding of the United States during the VTEXDAY 2019 conference in Sao Paulo, Brazil on Wednesday.

Obama said that the Constitution gave America the means of inclusion through Democracy.

“The more people we included, the more successful we became,” he said.

Obama used a basketball analogy to illustrate his point, pointing out that the NBA was better than ever by including more international players like Giannis Antetokounmpo, a Nigerian from Greece who plays for the Milwaukee Bucks.

“Now he’s one of the best players in the world,” Obama said, pointing out that if the NBA did not include international players, they were leaving talent on the field.

“If you don’t include women, you are leaving talent on the field,” Obama said, saying it was in every country’s interest to “include everyone.”

He admitted that “perfect equality” was difficult to achieve, because of natural talent and work ethic.

“The issue is not perfect equality, the issue is, are those of us who are successful willing to give back enough to provide a ladder of opportunity for others that are coming behind us,” he said.

Actually, equality is impossible to achieve and only exists in a commie's fantasy of utopia. I have not one jot of respect for anyone who promotes the murderous, deceitful ideology of Marxism . . . they are less than animals.

The Hater of America and Freedom doesn’t realize that America was founded on the EQUAL God-given right to LIFE, LIBERTY, and FREE PURSUITS.

America was founded on God-given FREEDOM FROM MAN’S TYRANNY - BIG, UNLIMITED GOVERNMENT.

To attack America as not founded on equality is to attack God not making everyone equal. God gave everyone the right to LIFE, LIBERTY, and PURSUE THEIR HAPPINESS, but God did not make everyone with equal abilities, roles, or results.

The issue with Hater of America and Freedom is with God, not America. His issue ultimately blames God for man’s fall and the lack of perfection in this world which was man’s doing, not God’s.

America and freedom isn’t perfect, but it is way ahead of whatever the Hater of America and Freedom has in mind.

We hold these truths to be self-evident...” is from the Declaration of Independence. That’s what liberals like about Obama: he’s ignorant and bad-mouths America at every opportunity.


You know the msm touts him a a ‘constitutional professor’ ....when he was nothing more than a part time lecturer.

He must be really fuming, watching President Trump systematically erasing his legacy.

His vapid rationale is ideologically driven. He has an agenda and rightly interpreting history isn’t it.

And notice the Lying Hater of America and Freedom is never explicit about what he has in mind, which is Global Islamic Supremacy.

The Lying Hater of America and Freedom wants to replace life with death.

"…the issue is, are those of us who are successful willing to give back enough to provide a ladder of opportunity for others that are coming behind us"

I absolutely HATE this communard / collectivist notion of "giving back." If you are driven to succeed, keep your nose clean, and work hard you WILL succeed without anybody "giving back" anything. Whatever calling you freely choose to follow, you contribute to the betterment of society. People will buy the goods and services you freely choose to sell to others at a fair price that benefits buyer and seller. We all make many choices every day and society benefits.

Instead of a world apology tour, Obama now seems to be on a world hate US tour. Yesterday it was US machine guns for sale to teens that he talked about in Brazil.

‘’You know Brazil just thinks the United States was founded on inequality’

Which speech writers went with Obama? Do you think they actually write the ‘you knows’ into the speeches to try to make him sound folksy? We all know he only reads TelePrompTers......he has no original thoughts to add (and if he does add anything he always sounds like a fool), so they must be trying to ‘down home’ him. It doesn’t work.

"Obama struggling in vain to achieve philosopher status."

Obama???

Obama was a figurehead, placed in office by an evil cabal, for whom he was a useful puppet, possibly unaware that he was being used, by whom, and for what purpose.

When their plan for a coup d'état in the USA was foiled by Donald Trump bearing the Light of Truth, the cabal sparked an explosion of useful yahoos, obfuscating, sabotaging,and causing chaos all over America in an endless attempt to thwart Trump and succeed with their evil plans despite him. (Note tagline.)

Armed with TRUTH, benevolence, and a profound love of the USA and the American Dream, Trump has triumphed over all of them.

When the triumph is complete, America will soar into her greatest ascendancy yet and bring the rest of the world with her into a golden age for all humanity. This is Trump's dream.

Meanwhile, the yahoos will continue to fight their losing battle against Trump, against America, against TRUTH, and against the forces of good.

Obama was never anything but a puppet and a figure head for the forces of evil, and he probably never understood this himself.

Inequality.
Ironically, Hussein is admitting something obvious. Some people ARE better than others. Some build-others destroy. Some produce-others use and drain. Some are smarter. Some have evolved more than others.
It has always been so throughout human history. I will always be so. There is no one level unless it is low. If Europeans hadn't come to America there would be no cities,education,prosperity or improvement.
This moaning about inequality from a man who practices and defends a religion that enslaves people still. A cult that considers women and children disposable property.
This from an illegitimate non-American whose life is a secret and a lie, who took and used and produced nothing.
To hell with Muslim Obama. He is LESS than nothing.
