I agree. Payne simply gives Obama a pass. It was Obama who promised hope and change and gave us bitterness and divisiveness. No other national figure in our nation’s history has sought to divide Americans and create enmity than has Obama.
Obama has demonized group after group of Americans, from doctors who performed needless surgeries for money, to any successful America. Obama has torn America apart for purposes of political gain. He spent a billion dollars in his last campaign shredding a successful American.
All this destructive activity is occurring with the willing and eager assistance of the corrupt MSM. No gun owners are the next class of people being demonized.
Have we not seen Communist country after Communist country systematically demonize who swaths of people to ultimately eliminate them so tyranny can come to fruition?
I greatly fear we are on the same path now.
Yes, and a ‘cultural revolution’ scenario like China's would be embraced by many here in the US. There is resentment and hatred throughout the land, and to deny that is dangerously naive.
You can't let untruths and false narratives go on unchallenged indefinitely, as we have. They become the fertilizer of hatred and resentment. For too long we have let inner city social ills, poverty, welfare dependency, violence etc. be blamed on ‘white privilege’, prejudice, bigotry, ‘greedy rich people’, ‘right wingers’, etc. For too long we've let the world blame America for ‘suppressing the third world’, ‘not paying it's fair share’, exporting violence, suppressing it's own citizens - especially minorities, etc..
When allegations and false narratives like this are let to stand without vigorous, passionate, and highly visible refutation, they are given legitimacy and become part of the belief system of those looking for an easy and palatable answer for why their lives are not what they think they should be. Resentment and hatred for successful Jews in Germany led to millions of executed Jews and attempted genocide. Don't think for a minute that that same degree of resentment and hatred doesn't exist any more in the world, and that it can't be turned on you. It most certainly does and can be.
At this point what we need to do is to start the long process of seizing back the narrative, and delegitimizing the untruths and false narratives that the left has inculcated into our society over the past 60 years or more. It won't happen overnight, but it is essential.
“Payne simply gives Obama a pass.”
EVERYONE gives Obama a pass.
Because of the color of his skin, Whites want to be “open minded”, while Blacks and other ethnics want to stick him in everyone else’s face.
He, meanwhile, keeps working away according to the blueprint he learned in his youth - building the road to American communism, even if it’s long been out of fashion in Russia and China.
