I think that one of Oprah's greatest fears is that she will be accused of being--or even worse, that she will actually be--a successful person who has forgotten her origins. This is understandable and commendable.

I think an even greater fear--and, if I'm not mistaken, she has said so--is that she will fail to use her life and her accomplishments to do good in the world. This is also understandable and commendable.

I admire and respect Oprah very much.

I am only guessing, of course, trying to explain what seems to be her Leftist leanings, I certainly don't know this, but it could be that she considers Marxism, in some form, to be the best way of doing good for the most people, and especially African people and Americans of African descent. If so, I strongly disagree.

Capitalism is not only responsible for Oprah's successes, and for creating the greatest and most prosperous nation the world has ever known, viz. the United States, but it is the only pathway ever divised to fulfillment of The American Dream: viz. liberty, justice, and prosperity for all the people of the world.

Marxism, on the other hand, requires a repressive, totalitarian government for its implementation and maintanence, and, by destroying individual incentive for achievement and prosperity, holds within itself the seeds inevitable economic destruction.

Oprah is a genius, and she is a good person. In fact, these are three of my favorite things that she has said:

“All of us on the planet are angels for each other.”
The Oprah Winfrey Show, December 12, 2005.

“Take responsibility for your life, and get an education.”
The Oprah Winfrey Show, 2006.

“Of all that I have accomplished, the thing that I am proudest of is that I have a good heart.”
The Oprah Winfrey Show, March 13, 2006.

Oprah is certainly smart enough to know the things I have said. Maybe she does not promote Marxism. I certainly hope not.

However, she certainly seems to promote the Leftist agenda, and surely, as intelligent as she is, she realizes that the Left is decadence itself, and that the best hope for fulfillment of The American Dream is liberty, justice, capitalism, Western Civilization, and the defeat of the decadence that threatens all of these things and the United States itself.

If I remember correctly, she has said that she is thankful to be living in the U.S.A. I believe that.

I am thankful too.

But I consider the Left to be decadence and to be the greatest threat there is to the U.S.A., Western Civilization, and The American Dream.
