"And I confess the progress didn't come quickly, and it did not come easily," President Obama said about his time as a community organizer in Chicago. "Sometimes it didn't come at all. There were times where I thought about giving up and moving on. But what kept me going day in and day out was the same thing that has sustained the Urban League all these years. The same thing that sustains all of you. And that is the belief that in America, change is always possible. That our union may not be perfect, but it is perfectible."

“As you can see, Marxian thought regards human beings as perfectible and human goodness as suppressed and distorted by existing society.

Indeed.

This is the most fundamental error in Marxist thought and philosophy. Marx was wrong about this and, as a result, the whole Marxist system falls like a house of cards. It requires perfectible humans. There aren't any.

It’s kind of silly for him to be pushing for change when he is the incumbent...

Imperfect people create an imperfect society, which must then be overthrown by other imperfect people, who create another imperfect society...

It would be a futile exercise, indeed, were it not for the existence of the chosen few, who have already achieved perfection (Obama, of course, comes to mind). These saviors of mankind, due to their unique brilliance and superior consciousness, are perfectly equipped (in their own minds) to lead (or force) the rest of us along the path to utopia. /s

You hit the nail on the head.

ALL schemes to perfect mankind through forcible government actions have ultimately led to tyranny and murder. Why would OBozo's scheme turn out any differently?

one only has to look at history to see where the liberals are moving to in this country.
Course may will deny it, many have no clue about it but follow based on their emotion but we only have to look at their NAZI tactics right now towards chick=fi=a.

What the far left are doing is boycotting, imtimidating, using power to stop them pening like Boston ,Chicago .
Control the message, use their power in the media to not imnform on the truth.

It’s so frigging obvious that the NAZI’s did the same to the Jews . The only thing different right now is death camps etc.

Nazi thuggery by the homostapo and the far left and sadly many on the far left or the left can’t even see past their emotion or their e-mail from move on.org

Another crazy statement that sums up in one sentence who Obama really is.
This is straight out Utopianism.
Not sure how one can claim to be Christian and advocate Utopianism at the same time?

Oh, and it is anti-American,too. The idea that perfection is possible is a BIG lie.
The founders knew this and is why it is the pursuit of happiness and not perfection.

That is their plan...

WALL STREET INSIDER & MILITARY INSIDER: President Obama – “By Any Means Necessary”

MI:  Yes sir.

(Pause)

Decades ago.  The first official mark goes back to the early 1970’s.  The birth of the modern environmental movement.  Are you aware that the protection of the environment was placed as the most important issue – more than freedom, sovereignty of nations…environmentalism became the fixture of a full on assault against any nation’s own self determination.

Those who have spoken out against Agenda 21 – and there have been members of the military and intelligence communities who have…they understood the implications.  These people are not conspiracy nuts.  These people are patriots who understand the threat.  The country – the United  States, is under siege.  It has been going on for a long time.  Decades of planning.  And now the planning stage is being transitioned into the implementation stage.  Right now.  It’s happening now.

WSI:  And you are absolutely convinced of that?  It’s happening now – the election of Barack Obama was the signal?  Implementation of this globalization plan commenced at that time?  Fully commenced?  Right?

MI:  Yes sir.

UM:  How?  (Pause)  The…implementation?  How does that work.  By force?  Using our own military against us?

MI:  No.  That would be too much of a risk…most of our military personnel are good men and women.  They signed up.  They took an oath.  And they are doing their job.  Remember, I indicated some inside the military were part of this globalization movement.  Not all.  Not most.  But some.

UM:  But some of these inside the military – they have influence?

MI:  Yes.  Appointed to positions of authority.  By this administration.

“our union may not be perfect, but it is perfectible” To consider it and then allow such a statement to come out of one’s mouth in front of others is a clear example of perfect stupidity.

I watched and rewatched the video, then re-read the transcipt.

There is no way those words were ‘taken out of context’.

It is clear Obama told his supporters that our union needs to be ‘perfected’.

that photo shows just how stupid have become when these people cheer to obama’s words but have no clue what their messiah is saying.

I remember when he said he was transforming the country in 5 day and the idiots clapped, cheered, when he said he wants a million strong civilian security force to match the military and the idiots cheered, when he said you did not build your business and the idiots shouted amen and cheered.

We truly have seen the dumbing down of this country and yet if one asked these people on the left what did he mean by that comment they’d reply”I don;t know but he sounds great”

The GOP are idiots and cowards, dring the 2008 election they should have got a camera, gone round his community and said is this the change you want?
Is this how America will look under obama?
What has obama done in his life to give him this position because he’s done nothing in this area.

No the GOP shut up, be polite, take all the shots given to them and then become cowards to the homostapo etc.

No human endeavor will ever be perfect. The whole notion that government is “perfectible” gives us Hitler, Stalin, Ceasar et al.

” That our union may not be perfect, but it is perfectible.”

Only a psychotic leader would state this.....and that is what we have.

First question of the first debate:

What do you define as “perfection” Mister Obama?

What level of single parent households?
What level of unemployment?
What percent exempted from taxes?
What percent exempted from Obamacare?
What “tolerable nuisance level” of global terrorism? (to quote John Kerry)
