Obama Sr. was an economist, and in 1965 he published an important article in the East Africa Journal called "Problems Facing Our Socialism." Obama Sr. wasn't a doctrinaire socialist; rather, he saw state appropriation of wealth as a necessary means to achieve the anticolonial objective of taking resources away from the foreign looters and restoring them to the people of Africa. For Obama Sr. this was an issue of national autonomy. "Is it the African who owns this country? If he does, then why should he not control the economic means of growth in this country?"
As he put it, "We need to eliminate power structures that have been built through excessive accumulation so that not only a few individuals shall control a vast magnitude of resources as is the case now." The senior Obama proposed that the state confiscate private land and raise taxes with no upper limit. In fact, he insisted that "theoretically there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed

My heart hurts.
Thanks for the ping...scary, scary stuff.
“The same media that produced a full dossier on complete unknown Joe “the plumber” Wurzelbacher in 24 hours declined to do any investigation of Baraq in 24 months leading up to the election.”
I got halfway thru your sentence and started laughing uncontrollably. Because it’s true.
The White House is scared to death of this one. Gibbs is already out there bashing Newt over his “Kenyan, anti-colonial” comment and Morning Joe spent a whole segment bashing him.
The White House is in overdrive to suppress this one. I am sure most conservatives are reading this article this morning through email and other means.
I am sure Rush will be talking about it today.
Obamugabe perfectly characterized.
Did you notice that no one on Morning Joe referenced the D’Souza article at all? They used Newt to discredit the Kenyan anticolonial idea without letting their viewers know Newt was merely repeating what D’Souza had written. The White House knows that when the Forbes Sept 27 issue hits the newstands with a picture of Omama on their cover and D’Souza’s piece as the cover article, the crap will hit the fan. They are using Newt’s comments to try to premptively discredit D’Souza’s story. Typical Alinsky tactic, don’t argue substance, just brand your detractors as crazy, or racist, or stupid. Won’t work this time, the story and idea of what makes Obama tick has too much traction and can’t be stopped ny the sycophants in the MSM.
Yes, the playbook is getting easier and easier to read without having to read it
Doesn’t it make PERFECT SENSE now why Omoslem is so happy to impose Death Panels?
In his mind, Americans are too fat, too greedy, and use too much of the world’s resources.
One way to curtail that is......? Kill them early. Don’t waste “the government’s” money keeping senior citizens alive.
This whole notion is so sick, I cannot believe my eyes. Yet Omoslem and his fellow fascists stand there and ARGUE for killing our parents and grandparents early, if it means saving money.
And make no mistake... Sending someone home to DIE b/c you’re denying them medical care IS INDEED killing them early.
My question is, why treat ANYBODY medically, AT ALL? Just think of all the money we’d save if we denied everyone medical treatment after age 50. Or after age 30.
Or to anybody younger than 5, or older than 40, we just say “Sorry, go home and die, we don’t want to fire any teachers.”
Sick stuff. Thank God we have Communist scum to SEIZE OUR MONEY THEN DENY US MEDICAL CARE AS THEY SEND US HOME TO DIE. Hallelujah!
The LA Times reports Bill Clinton saying something similar today:
"They [teapartiers] think the little guy gets the shaft, and that's largely been true. But they are pawns in a larger game," he said. "[The Boston tea party] was a protest against abuse of government power. The people that are funding this tea party are trying to weaken the government at a moment where people are queasy about the government because there was nobody else to step in when the economy was flat, so they can have unaccountable private power."
Interesting that Clinton is lately thinking as an anti-colonialist too.
Good to see you are appreciating the seriousness of his intentions and malice.
