You’re right and on the ball!!!

“”even though the United States has a Constitution that says, ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,””

I thought he had someone to wind him up but apparently, they aren’t on the job anymore with his teleprompter and his stupidity just comes shining through, doesn’t it? Unlucky for us and the world!!!

How many 120 pound female linebackers in the NFL Obie? Last I checked it ain’t too “diverse”.

As usual, leftists start out by including a grain of truth in their argument, basically for misdirection. That’s part of the con.

They will leave out (always) crucial facts of the matter. Then they go off into la-la land. As it is, his premise is sort of flawed as well - Can he point to a successful nation that was perfect? Further, what exactly is the implication here? The founders or the system wasn’t perfect. So .. what? This is the problem with starting with the conclusion and trying to bend the facts to fit. Pretzel logic. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of good.

The notion that letting anybody, and everybody, vote in elections is always and ever a good thing is profoundly disturbed thinking. Democracy, as he envisions, is simply the politics of envy. Leads to chaos and dictatorship. Don’t be fooled.

You can vote your way into socialism, collectivism - but ya hafta shoot your way out.

Democrats aren’t even particularly democratic. They use it to obtain power, nothing more. They are typically totalitarian control freaks. This is the problem with government generally, the type of people who are attracted to it, are not the sort that should be anywhere near it. We’re seeing this right now.

Look at the “deep state” treatment of the President. He’s not part of the club. They are doing, and have been doing, everything they can to ruin the man, his family, anyone who works for him, and of course, anyone who voted for him. This to send a “message”. And the message is received. Decent, honorable people will decline to become involved in politics.

How very Democratic.

They talk about “every vote must be counted”, though numerous states, even California, for just one example - rejected the very notion of homosexual marriage. What say ye now Barky? Presumably on this issue, women and minorities weighed in. And overwhelming decided “No”.

So then, this issue was forced through judicial activism.

The excerpt from his speech which is printed above is not very controversial, and I admit it sounds a bit philosophical.

But, Obama is a constant critic and complainer, or at least that is how I see him. He brings up such subject matter to allow him to criticize the USA and our founding fathers and principles. He thinks he is being clever in doing so.

He continues to carry high the banner of a true anti-American Communist SOB, in the literal sense. And, don’t try to tell me the diabolic bastard child is simply ignorant.

Another lie from Obloviate. Everyone was equal BEFORE THE LAW. But only property owners could vote and elect legislators. I wish it were STILL that way. It would have meant that I myself wouldn’t have voted until I was 32, but I’d still take it. “When the people learn that they can VOTE themselves MONEY from the government, it will spell the beginning of the end.... Welfare, anyone?

Among other failings, Obama is an illiterate when it comes to history. Brazil was the last country in the Western Hemisphere to outlaw slavery.

Somebody— for the sake of Freedom, and the REALITY of history, which changed all this-— SHUT THIS A@@HOLE UP!

King obamaumao— the Great Kenyan. The FRAUD, the FAKE, the ‘CREATION’ of the islamofascists and their handlers, the world marxists (who love their singleminded fanaticism, organization and easily disposed of willing built in martyrs for violence and threats).

Hey, obamaumao— look up THOMAS JEFFERSON and the Barbary Pirates and EXACTLY what koran he learned from about your gutter religion. The answer to the monolith— is destroy them, utterly. No bakshish, no plata, no ransom, no jizya nothing— eliminate this globalist insane cult.

Now he is no longer president, a private person, he can move to N. Korea or Cuba.

On foreign soil AND also right here in the US. Swore a meaningless Oath to uphold the Constitution— which he ignores and summarily castigates at every opportunity— in his self-anointed “brilliance” that has YET to be proven in scholasticism records and in his ACTUAL deeds in office.

What a waste of space this toot rump pirate is.

Interesting comment coming from a pretender to the throne who got his opponents divorce records UNSEALED to force that opponent out of the Illinois race for office.

Same person who has sealed all of his own school records.

Same “President” who never went to church when in office.

Not having a deep understanding of Presidential history I'm reluctant to make such a statement.But I have *no* problem believing that he is,at the very least,*one* of the worst.

“That all men are created equal”

Simply meant that no man is born a king.

It was a rejection of the “Divine Right” excuse that European thugs used to legitimize tyrannizing the people around them.

Establishes popular sovereignty rather then unitary sovereignty.

Was it applied to the African people held as slaves? Clearly not. On that point he’s right. But that was because they were not incorporated as part of the nation that was declared by free association: a nation of white men.

Anyone who wants to check those founding documents will see where all this hangs together. Once you understand it, everything prior to 1868 and the Fourteenth amendment begins to make sense.
