Video: Obama calls for 'democracy with a small d'
WND ^ | 9/18/12 | Aaron Klein

Posted on 09/18/2012 10:21:46 PM PDT by jwsea55

NEW YORK – A 1995 video depicts Barack Obama calling for “democracy with a small ‘d,’” while pushing a society based on collectivism and “common good.”

In the video unearthed by KleinOnline, Obama hails unions and collective bargaining as encapsulating the societal “common good” of which he speaks.

Obama urges society to collectively move “forward” – a word that would later serve as his 2012 campaign slogan.

Obama was speaking in an Aug. 11, 1995 interview pushing his just published book, “Dreams From My Father.” At the time, Obama was a community organizer planning to launch a political career.

Obama tells the interviewer the “best part” of the dream of his “African father and white American mother,” was the “notion that we collectively can decide on our fate.”

AND even republicans have a problem calling this guy a Marxist traitor..

Well they have a point America is overrun by people that don’t know the difference between Marxism and Capitalism..

Heck most don’t even know who the VeeP is.. let alone the Secretary of State..
Timothy Geithner is an absolute mystery to most..

America is severely DUMBED DOWN.. almost drooling..
ALL major Universitys are graduating stone flaming socialists..
Not just this year but for DECADES...

Who is at fault?.. Obviously the Teachers Unions..
And the other Unions generally..
America is as brain washed as Pavlov’s Dog’s..
And the metaphorical “bitches” are dumbest of all..

WHO allowed all this to happen?.. REPUBLICANS thats who..
Democrats are quite open about their plans.. and have been..
Democrats are quite clear, its the republicans that are delusional..

Republicans generally seem to be craven Cowards..
The right wing democrats are afraid of is non-existant...

What concerns about him at the beginning have been proven false?

Our Founding Fathers had so much forethought about what they feared and the checks they put in place to prevent them happening. Now what do we have?

Are you sure about that one?????

From all that I can discern, Marxist have to at least be able to put a sentence together that slightly doesn't make sense before they are accepted into the club.

Don’t forget the chaos that ensued after the election in 2000.
If this one is that close (like Mitt wins the electoral vote
and Shaka Zulu wins the popular vot) then all hell will be
unleashed upon us. Shaka Zulu will trump up 40 different kinds
of bogus election fraud claims and he will refuse to concede.

It will take M1A1 main battle tanks in the White House
driveway to remove him. Then you will REALLY see the SHTF.

Heck most republicans don’t even know communism “IS” socialism..
AND democracy is a lie.. No democracy has ever been democratic..
Republicans for democracy ARE democrats..

Scariest quote in that clip:

“Things like technological change, things like the mass media, things like the market - these are things that are subject to our control.” -Barack Hussein Obama

Well, let's see, there's:

Hmm...?

Is this what we call a "short list"?
Or a full-fledged Zero list?

Well of course he wants “small d” democracy.

Unfortunately for us, he wants the same kind of democracy for us that he helped install in Egypt and Libya.
