Barack Obama's Stealth Socialism
IBD Editorials ^ | July 28, 2008

Posted on 07/28/2008 5:13:57 PM PDT by Kaslin

Election '08: Before friendly audiences, Barack Obama speaks passionately about something called "economic justice." He uses the term obliquely, though, speaking in code — socialist code.


During his NAACP speech earlier this month, Sen. Obama repeated the term at least four times. "I've been working my entire adult life to help build an America where economic justice is being served," he said at the group's 99th annual convention in Cincinnati.

And as president, "we'll ensure that economic justice is served," he asserted. "That's what this election is about." Obama never spelled out the meaning of the term, but he didn't have to. His audience knew what he meant, judging from its thumping approval.

It's the rest of the public that remains in the dark, which is why we're launching this special educational series.

"Economic justice" simply means punishing the successful and redistributing their wealth by government fiat. It's a euphemism for socialism.

In the past, such rhetoric was just that — rhetoric. But Obama's positioning himself with alarming stealth to put that rhetoric into action on a scale not seen since the birth of the welfare state.

It’s not so “stealth”.

Precisely!

There’s NOTHING stealthy about it.

He is so emboldened by the idolatry of his worshippers that he’s letting it all hang out.

And speaking of hanging, perhaps he, too, will wind up like another national socialist — from Italy.

It’s, “Stealth,” to the, “I don’t care who wins,” crowd. They don’t get it.

It’s OUR job to explain this to them.

Next time you’re locked in mortal combat with a liberal ask them about the parable Jesus told where a rich man was going to be out of town and entrusted his money to three of his servants. To one he gave a lot money, to another not so much and to a third relatively little. While he’s away the man with the much money invested it and earned even more money, the man with less put his to work too and when the master returned had more than he had been given. The man who got the least was very timid and simply buried the money out of fear he would would lose it.

When the master returned he was very unhappy with one of the servants and took back what he had given him and gave it instead to one of the others. Try to find a liberal who knows who got what!

Amid all this, Obama reunited with his late father’s communist tribe in Kenya, the Luo, during trips to Africa.

As a Nairobi bureaucrat, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., a Harvard-educated economist, grew to challenge the ruling pro-Western government for not being socialist enough. In an eight-page scholarly paper published in 1965, he argued for eliminating private farming and nationalizing businesses “owned by Asians and Europeans.”

His ideas for communist-style expropriation didn’t stop there. He also proposed massive taxes on the rich to “redistribute our economic gains to the benefit of all.”

“Theoretically, there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed,” Obama Sr. wrote. “I do not see why the government cannot tax those who have more and syphon some of these revenues into savings which can be utilized in investment for future development.”

Taxes and “investment” . . . the fruit truly does not fall far from the vine.

(Voters might also be interested to know that Obama, the supposed straight shooter, does not once mention his father’s communist leanings in an entire book dedicated to his memory.)

Obama's "stealth socialism" is out and out Marxism, writ large on his pedigree and decades long asssociations and positions.

For verily I say unto thee, thou shalt not enter into the Kingdom of my Utopia but through me, for the Kingdom of MY Lord suffers all the little voters only of National Liberal Socialist Black Power lineage to come unto me for economic justice.

When the veil of the temple was torn by the hand of the Lord in Denver, it revealed the wrath of the Lord upon all those who would be free, who pray to the false God of Israel, who have guns in their closets, and who lead their lives eating the bitter fruit of freedom.

All religions are the same under MY tent of heaven Utopia, and foremost among these is the lineage of my prophet, whose name is Mohammed, and who shall join us on my right hand."

Join me in the Holy Communion of " Yes We Can."

On the night of his election Obama took bread, and after giving thanks to Black Power Liberal Socialism, broke it and said, "This is my body which is for you; do this remembering me."

After supper Obama took the cup and said, "This cup is the new Socialist covenant sealed in my beer; whenever you drink it, do this voting for me."

Unison :

god of our new politics of Utopia, with joy we have received this sacrament of bread and beer, giving you thanks for Obama, our peace and our hope. Unite your electorate throughout the world in continuing Obama's ministry of love, Marxist servanthood,and totalitarian exploitation of the White Man,and his black compatriots,and all men,so that your name may be praised in all the earth, and so that the tax revenues shall flow inexhaustable, like the bottomless seas of the earth, to be used to fund your children of Africa, and Mesopotamia, and the lands of Mohammed our prophet.

Yes We Can! Amen!

This is very well done - I'm impressed! And from a solid name, no less.

I look forward to further installments from this series.
