“If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.” – Barack Obama, July 13th, 2012.
America doesn’t seem to comprehend what has happened to it, and sadly – what was lost can never be regained according to our second President John Adams, who understood the fragile nature of liberty.
At one time in our nation, not that long ago – the Leftists had to hide what they really were all about. American politicians espousing the doctrines of Karl Marx or anything sounding like Soviet Socialism would have been run out of office on a rail had they been honest about what they believed they should empower government to do. So they hid behind their agenda with clever and ‘progressive’ sounding rhetoric that played to human nature’s worst vices of jealousy and greed. Even so, America rejected Socialism and Communism as corrosive agents to liberty, and were even willing to go to war against that ideology because indeed they were and are dangerous to liberty.
But today, time and indoctrination by public schools and the media, have conditioned several generations of Americans to be ambivalent about Socialism and Communism. A generation of Americans raised in a culture of instant gratification, self-esteem, educational ignorance and devoid of morals and religion became fertile ground for Communism to rise from our own soil. Indeed the underlying current taught and now accepted is that Capitalism is the worst scourge on earth, promoting a self loathing of ourselves on a perverted sense of morality. So we now have a President of the country that espouses not only blatant Marxism, but is preaching pure unadulterated Mussolini-inspired Fascism. The mask and gloves are off, and this only happens when confidence exists that their agenda has succeeded. More of that mask dropped with remarks Obama made Friday at a fire station in Roanoke Virginia.
The speech, designed to foster the class war and envy , is what every Marxist uses to achieve total power. The speech makes the crux of the point that Obama and his MarxoFasicsts in office have been preaching for some time: that nothing you possess; not your wealth, not your health or your property – belongs to you. Their gospel is that you should spread what you own around (recall Joe The Plumber?) because they preach that what you worked for and earned was not by your own efforts – but by everyone else’s efforts. Vis-a-vis: everything belongs to the State. They are preaching that nothing you have is the result of your own efforts, but rather what you have is the result of everyone’s ‘collective’ efforts. As such, they promote the lie that everyone is entitled to a share of what you have, and the government’s job is to make sure everyone gets a piece of it. This is what ‘spreading the wealth around’ and ‘shared sacrifice’ actually means. Some of us understand and recognize this as Communism, but almost half the population now, calls Communism ‘fairness’, and everyone must pay their ‘fair share’.
Unless of course you are in the Ruling Class. The Ruling Class are exempt from having to share. Such rules are only for the hoi polloi, the little people, the actual entrepreneur and business owner who takes a risk.
The preaching of the virtues of Marx goes on, cloaked in the rhetoric of Human envy and jealousy, something Marxists prey on to get their agenda and ideology accepted by the masses. But the reality is that the government is really The Mob, a Crime Syndicate that takes their cut first – and then extorts the rest of what you have as ‘protection money’ from themselves.
Obama is simply stating what his comrade MarxoFascists like Elizabeth Warren have been saying openly as of late:
“I hear all this, you know, ‘Well, this is class warfare, this is whatever. No. There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own — nobody.
“You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police-forces and fire-forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory — and hire someone to protect against this — because of the work the rest of us did….part of the underlying social contract is, you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.” – Elizabeth Warren
This is pure Marxist Fascism being preached as a virtue. Government control of business to employ the Marx ideology of ‘FROM EACH according to his ability TO EACH according to his need’. For the MarxoFascists like Obama and Warren and the entire Democrat party, Statist Government central planning is the answer towards implementing that policy by force. Obama is now sermonizing the virtues of this ideology, and he would not be doing so in major campaign speeches unless the MarxoFascists assume that they now have total control to reveal what they really are all about.
What did we think Obama really meant when he said he was just days away from ‘fundamentally transforming The United States of America”?
The Statists now preach openly that what you have is due to everyone else’s labor, money and effort. Not your own. The sum of this preaching is to fool the people to accept the narrative that everyone is required to “share ” what they have, especially if you have more than others. If you have more than others, the State is justified in having it confiscated from you by redistribution, taxation and regulation for the purpose of making you recognize your place is to support the state – not yourself.
This is what Obama and the MarxoFascist Left mean when they use the words: ‘collective salvation”; “shared sacrifice” and so on. It’s a narrative that empowers a permanent slave class that is dependent on the State taking from what is left of the Producers in the country – to redistribute to Obama’s army of welfare constituents and illegal Mexicans. This is about destroying the free market and burying Capitalism under their boots.
Obama is espousing the doctrine of Marx that entrepreneurs don’t build businesses, the government does. That is why multiple billions of our tax dollars were given to now-defunct green energy money laundering companies like Solyndra, who have gone bankrupt and made off with all your money. Ultimately, entrepreneurs are irrelevant in Obama’s Amerika, the Government is god and will build business and regulate business. This is Fascism – in it’s purest definition authored by Benito Mussolini.
The State will decide who lives, who dies, who gets to eat and who does not. Who gets to make money and who does not. Who gets a job and who does not. Who gets government welfare and who does not. Anyone who is not a ‘true believer’ in the MarxoFascist ideology and whom does not act within it’s dictates – gets nothing, and even what they have will be taken from them.
Very akin to a mark of this beast.
In short: No private sector taxation, no goverment.
Obama is profoundly ignorant.
The thugs that broke into his house one night and stole his property in the name of the state used this exact justification.
Does this new tact strike anyone else as particularly ominous?
“If you’ve got an affirmative action Harvard law degree — you didn’t earn that. Somebody else made that happen.”
No, Obama is NOT ignorant.
He is willful.
We do ourselves a great disservice by assuming Obama is ignorant.
He and his MarxoFascist comrades have been busy rigging all our support pillars and foundation with charges. Obama is simply pulling the pins in order to bring it all down.
This is the part that should scare the crap out of every American. It is entirely possible that we have completely lost control of our country to an iron fisted totalitarian government. We thought FOR SURE the supreme court would strike down Obama care as they should have but it didn't happen. Conservatives and legal minds alike are still trying to figure out what happened. They are either missing or rejecting the only answer. Corruption! Just like the article says. The government has turned into a lawless mob. We could have argued a perfect case before the court but there is no way to win when the commies have control over the justices or enough of them to fix the outcome. Now the question. Do the commies now have control over the outcome of the election in November? Are we going to be spending the next day and every day after trying to figure out how Obama won? Can you imagine what's in store for our country if he gets a second term? Just think how much "flexibility" he will have then!
Businesses and business owners pay more than their share of federal, state & local taxes that pay for their share of the roads, schools & infrastructure.
Liberals will claim they’re not socialists, but then have nothing but praise for socialism. That makes them socialists, by the way. And if you dare to notice it, they’ll claim that you don’t know what socialism is. They know, but they’re not saying. It’s too complicated. It boils down to sunshine and puppy dogs, however. Rainbows, butterflies, happy birds chirping in a meadow. It’s not centralized control of the means of production and its distribution, it’s everyone just spontaneously agreeing to share everything and make the world a better place, free of greed and kapitalism. How does that work specifically, though? Don’t ask, or you’re a greedy racist.
But it doesn't.
Reagan understood something that most of us are unwilling to admit to ourselves: that we were only a single generation away from losing the nation.
I submit we are at least two generations, if not more, into losing liberty. A majority of the country doesn't even understand what liberty is outside of doing whatever one feels like doing and being absolved of any responsibility for it.
Most of us assume the life we have always known will always continue - it's unthinkable to assume the greatest nation to ever come into existence would willingly surrender its own lifeblood.
It is entirely possible that we have completely lost control of our country to an iron fisted totalitarian government.
That's what most refuse to recognize, yet history teaches us that this is EXACTLY where we have arrived.
We thought FOR SURE the supreme court would strike down Obama care as they should have but it didn't happen. Conservatives and legal minds alike are still trying to figure out what happened.
Only if one limits to analyzing what happened within the scope of the rule of law and the Constitution - which for all practical purposes, is now irrelevant to those in power.
They are either missing or rejecting the only answer. Corruption!
Worse.
Coup. Think a velvet Red Dawn without the parachuting Russkies.
The government has turned into a lawless mob. We could have argued a perfect case before the court but there is no way to win when the commies have control over the justices or enough of them to fix the outcome. Now the question. Do the commies now have control over the outcome of the election in November?
Now you have arrived at where some of us already understand the country itself has arrived.
Are we going to be spending the next day and every day after trying to figure out how Obama won?
And while we are busy doing that, the final pin gets pulled on the grenade and all the charges rigged on the supports comes crashing down for the purpose of instituting the next stage of their revolution: extermination of undesirables and threats to the state.
History is a good teacher.
Too bad so many think that it cannot happen here, when it is happening right in front of their eyes.
“Obama is profoundly ignorant.”
Agree with all your comments but would add to the last line, “and evil.”
It can’t be a simple matter of misunderstanding history and economics along with the most Leftist bent ever presented in American politics. It’s manifestly more damning than that. In this latest anti-American rant, he’s turned 200-plus years of American and British law on its head. What is copyright law if not proof of the inventor’s ownership, the inventor’s SOLE ownership of or proprietary rights to an idea or a product? The government’s sole “right” in this process is taxation and only when agreed to by the electorate.
Worse, though, is his insistence on turning Christianity and Judaism on their heads, finding social justice in the Bible, okaying abominations. This takes a special, unprecedented, deadly pride. Which, we hope, cometh before a commensurate fall.
Let me understand this. Your business isn’t really yours, so what you earn in your business isn’t really yours either. It rightfully belongs to the government because without the government you wouldn’t have been able to start and grow your business. Is this the new justification for higher taxes on small businesses?
This on top of “the private sector’s doing fine” has to raise eyebrows as to Zero’s sanity.
Please remind me, were the Founding Fathers who fought and died to create this great country of ours inventors, businessmen, entrepreneurs, farmers, common folk or government bureaucrats?
The dripping contempt for the American Businessman/woman is so disgusting.
Unfortunately, we all get to go along for the ride.
We would not be in this mess if those of biblical faith had stood up for what they pay lip service to.
Instead they bought a Satanic lie perpetrated by these same people: that it is the greatest sin to 'judge' and to 'tolerate' is divine.
We are living the consequences of that acceptance by a lukewarm faith that has lost it's salt. Liberty and freedom as we have known it cannot exist outside the foundation of the biblical faith being practiced by the culture.
>> The dripping contempt for the American Businessman/woman is so disgusting.
From Obama’s perspective, individual reliance and success is not possible, ergo his inability to act Presidential.
“...someone set up us the obozo...”
