... thinks that western Europeans’ “Obama mania is only the flip side of anti-Americanism.” Investors’ Business Daily considers Obama’s rhetoric about ”economic justice” and concludes that it ”simply means punishing the successful and redistributing their wealth by government fiat. It’s a euphemism for socialism.” ...
Social Justice Defined
Moonbattery —
... Most of what Barack Obama reads off his teleprompter has no more significance than the chirping of a bird. But unlike "the audacity of hope," the term "social justice" — which he uses quite often, to the hungry cheers of his supporters — actually means something. Investor's Business Daily explains: ...

... Thus, Ujamaa is characterized by a community where co-operation and collective advancement are the rationale of every individual's existence. According to Ujamaa, personal acquisitiveness is prohibited, thus allowing the distribution of wealth through society horizontally rather than vertically. Obama was using terms and names that he was familiar with. That shouldn't be surprising. It is becoming abundantly clear that his background is completely drenched in socialist teachings - a background he's desperately tried to keep from public view or spin into something that is more ...
Barack Obama’s Stealth Socialism
Israpundit —
By INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY Election ‘08: Before friendly audiences, Barack Obama speaks passionately about something called “economic justice.” He uses the term obliquely, though, speaking in code — socialist code. During his NAACP speech earlier this month, Sen. Obama repeated the term at least four times. “I’ve been working my entire adult life to help build an America where economic justice is being served,” he said at the group’s 99th annual convention in Cincinnati. [Do Americans really want a socialist President} Democrat Barack Obama arrives in Washington on Monday. On ...

... two books about his life, Obama's hid his father's background and his own career-long affiliations with radical socialists and communists. All were striving together for "economic justice" and class warfare as unreconstructed Communists. Vote accordingly in 2008. * Perhaps Obama learned these falsehoods from Jeremiah Wright, his racist spiritual adviser who also believes the economy is a "zero sum" proposition. Major hat tip: Investor's Business Daily.
Obama’s Socialism
Commonsense & Wonder —
From the IBD : Following this discredited Marxist model, he believes government must step in and redistribute pieces of the pie. That requires massive transfers of wealth through government taxing and spending, a return to the entitlement days of old. Of course, Obama is too smart to try to smuggle such hoary collectivist garbage through the front door. He’s disguising the wealth transfers as “investments” — “to make America more competitive,” he says, or “that give us a fighting chance,” whatever that means. Among his proposed “investments”: • “Universal,” “guaranteed” health ...

As a “citizen of the world,” Obama must recognize that socialism creates misery everywhere it's tried.

Obama the Divider
Pajamas Media —
Whatever happened to the candidate once touted as a post-racial uniter? [image] During a speech at what ironically was termed “ UNITY 08 ” — a convention sponsored by members of “ Journalists of Color, Inc .” — Senator Barack Obama illustrated why he is anything but a “post-racial” candidate. Given his background, his appearance at an event wherein “diversity” was the main ideological course on the menu is not surprising, as he continues to be a person for whom ethnicity is of central importance. Just as was the case during the Democratic primary, Obama self-sabotaged precisely at the moment in which the punditocracy was selling us ...

Or that two Palestinians living in a Hamas-controlled refugee camp spent $31,300 in Obama’s online store? Who are all these people, and why won’t the Obama campaign obey the law and identify them?

William Ayers Vietnam era exploits (which were lionized in Obama s political and academic circles), the communist leanings and affiliations of Obama s family and friends have led Obama to the belief that America must apologize for its many evils.

With recent news coverage focusing so heavily on domestic issues, it s easy to forget Obama s feverish quest for foreign forgiveness. During his first 100 days, he traveled to Europe and South America in what many aptly dubbed apology tours. Similarly, ...
