Obama Calls for More Redistribution of Wealth, Declaring: ‘I Am My Brother’s Keeper’ By Terence P. Jeffrey April 2, 2012

(CNSNews.com) - In a campaign speech in Vermont on Friday, President Barack Obama referenced the biblical story of Cain and Abel in condemning what he called "you're-on-your-own economics" while arguing for a number of policies that involve government transferring wealth from one group of citizens to another—including providing public schools with more money for teachers’ salaries, freezing the interest rates on government-backed student loans, supporting companies developing biofuels, electric batteries and wind and solar power and funding scientists who are doing research on stem cells and climate change.

“I hear politicians talking about values in an election year,” Obama said. “I hear a lot about that. Let me tell you about values. Hard work, personal responsibility--those are values. But looking out for one another. That’s a value. The idea that we’re all in this together. I am my brother’s keeper. I am my sister’s keeper. That’s a value.”

Once again, Obama selectively chooses biblical verses out of context, and to suit and support his socialist ideals.

Hey, don’t be so negative. He’s got his aunt and uncle on the dole up in MA - Uncle Stinky and Aunt Zatootie. Plus he got them the best lawyers to fight their DUI and illegal immigration status.

To these people, the Bible, like the constitution,

is simply another means by which to trick people into accepting advancing the agenda of communism.

My word, even the Pilgrims disagreed with this approach.

Their crop yield increased notably once they began having everyone sow their own, instead of doing it collectively. The latter course saw fewer crops and more idlers. The former produced more food and more enterprise.

I believe the correct quote from the Bible is: "Am I my brother's keeper?"

Cain was trying to pull an "Obama" by misdirecting God with his phoney answer (like Obama, Cain underestimates other's intelligence).

My answer would be that even if I am MY brother's keeper, but I'm not YOUR brother's keeper.

"Every citizen will make his particular contribution to the activities of his community according to his capacity, his talent and his age. It is on this basis that his duties will be determined, in conformity with the distributive laws."

(Etienne Morelly, French utopian communist, "Code of Nature", 1755).

Obama's relentless agenda is not new....it's only well studied and learned.

Strait out of Marx's/Lenin's Manifesto.

Take from the evil Rich/Aristocracy/Establishment channel it to the “greater good” which is the poor, the under achieved and the “righteous Progressives”, who deserve all the wealth to do with it as they collectively see fit.

(Oh, this also includes those Elite rulers who are in power to make those decisions.)

If B0 were (R) his real bother would be on every comedy show, and every American would know that Brother George lives in a tin hut. B0(R) would be a laughing stock.
They would also know about illegal aunt and uncle sucking off the taxpayers, while B0(R, 1%-er)looks the ther way.

But the average voter has never head about Brother George. Go ahead and ask them. I always do. They never heard about “Barry Soetoro” either.
All they “know” is that B0(D) is a “nice guy.”

I think the Anti-Christ will use a lot of scripture, quoted completely out of context but used often. People will cheer his rise all the way and will never see what’s coming. Satan is the master of lies. It’s what he does. Methinks President Obama is an apt student.
