Obama Plays the Slave Card–
Again tonight Barack Obama compared his failed socialist agenda to liberating the slaves in America.
“People are frustrated, their anxious, they’re scared about the future. And they have a right to be impatient about the pace of change. I’m impatient,” President Obama said at an event for Gen44. “It took time to free the slaves,” he added.
Earlier this week Barack Obama compared his radical agenda to “slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom songs.”
Here’s the transcript:
In every instance, progress took time. In every instance, progress took sacrifice. Progress took faith. You know, the slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom songs, they weren’t sure when slavery would end but they understood it was going to end. When women were out there marching for the right to vote, they weren’t sure when it was going to happen but they kept on going. (Applause.) When workers were organizing for the right to organize and were being intimidated, they weren’t sure when change was going to come but they knew it was going to come. And I am telling you, Wisconsin, we are bringing about change and progress is going to come — but you’ve got to stick with me. You can’t lose heart. (Applause.)
Change is going to come. (Applause.)
What this guy lacks in leadership and results he makes up for in arrogance.

Of course, he leaves out WHO freed the slaves…

There are a lot of things that “took time” … why is the example always slavery related? Aren’t we in the post-racial era?
thomas mc donnell commented:
the only place wealth is being redistributed is to the politicans. are we being freed or are we being enslaved. i vote for the latter.
Robert commented:
His agenda is like freeing the slaves.
In reverse.
He is trying to enslave America to the socialist agenda by enslaving us to debt, regulation and bureaucracy, and the ruin of the economy, all for the utopian dream of equality for the masses.
Obama commented:
Ask anyone who’s actually lived under a socialist regime. Everyone was a slave. Obama is a retard and so are the people who voted for him.
wanumba commented:
Firing up the base for…? If using the emotionally charged “slavery” isn’t incitement, what is?

regularguy commented:
It took roughly 4 years and 600,000 soldiers and sailors to free the black slaves during the civil war. It’s taken less than 2 years and several hundred politicians to re-enslave us all to socialism during our current cultural war. Better hope the Chinese are benevolent.
MVH commented:
Boy, lately his appearances look like he’s just begun campaigning, instead of affirming his accomplishments as POTUS.
Something weird is going on.
SM-Illinois commented:
Neo-colonialism. Opressed and oppressors. Victoms and downtrodden. He sees himself as a liberator……to beat down the americans……to take away from the rest of us…..because all of us have taken from “his people” in the rest of the world. That’s why he’s apologizing, bowing, giving our money and power away to demean and weaken us. The end justifies the means………. What makes me absolutely panic striken is people like my 85 year old mother in law…….lifelong Dem…….not liking at all what’s happening to America…..but the nitwit thinks she’s still got to vote DEM. She’s in WI though and it sounds like many other Dems are waking up.

Americans will be claiming their freedom in about seven weeks.

archer52 commented:
Beck has been beating the drum on the anti-colonialism theory for a while as the explanation as to why Obama thinks the way he does. He’s not a communist in the sense he believes in communism. He is an anti-colonialist and communism/socialism is the vehicle that he uses to drive the reparations and freedom from slavery (first world exploiting the third world concept) to its goal.
Simply put, first world nations like Britain and Europe and America have exploited third world nations, mostly black and Arab, for their people, their resources and their future in order to further the lifestyles and assist in the advancement of the first world’s standard of living. The anti-colonialist believes in the zero sum gain theory. If a white man steals something from the black man, then the white man gains an advantage over the black man and is guilty of theft. This justifies the white man being taxed at 100% of his wealth because, according to the theory, all the wealth has been gained from an illegal theft.
This theory also helps rationalize why white cultures in general are more advanced than Middle East cultures and black cultures in Africa.
Yes, it makes no sense in the real world but allow me to use an example of this mindset I heard from another black rationalist and believer in this theory. Several years ago, a black professor made a speech justifying the reason why in Europe the early man was using a wheel as a tool for transport and in Africa they were not. He said, and I paraphrase but not by much, the reason for the fact was not an intelligence issue or a cultural advancement issue but an issue of theft. It seems, in his theory, that the black man invented the wheel first, but that a white man came down and stole the idea FROM the black man, thus robbing him of the use of the wheel!
Now as I listen to this professor make the argument, I think I actually suffered a mini-stroke! How can anyone of any intelligence actually think an IDEA can be stolen from the minds of others with some kind of SCFI channel mind wipe is simply outrageous. Then a year or so later, a Muslim/Arab professor made the claim that Muslim/Arab actually invented manned flight first, but the white man came along and stole the idea from them- which explains why we have Lockheed and the Arabs were only able to produce “Air Camel”.
Once you, as a frustrated cultural defender that is trying to explain why white/Asian cultures came up with all the cool stuff first, run down that the anti-colonist rabbit hole it is white rabbits, crazy queens and little girls trying to get home reality for you for the rest of your life.
Obama is one such traveler, as he has been indoctrinated with this blather since his birth. His goal, and the goals of many of his followers, is to strip America of its ill-gotten gains and as President with our own version of the mad hatter and the insane Queen of Hearts in Congress, he can and is going to advance his agenda until they are all stopped.
Sucks to be us right now.
Jack commented:
It took time to free the slaves….and it was the Republican Party under Lincoln who did it.
And the slaves didn’t free themselves, it was white people who freed the slaves.
jorgen commented:
As usual he says the opposite of what he means. That commie has been busy enslaving everybody under socialist rule. The voters will be freeing themselves from his slavery in November when he will be left impotent (can we then call him imPOTUS?).

Never met a narcissist that didn’t blow the needle off the idiot meter. The POS of the United States is by far the stupidest person to ever live.
Khan Krum commented:
Kenny Solomon is correct. The cultural Marxists are close to the tipping point but not quite there yet. They didn’t anticipate the sort of opposition that conservatives (especially the TEA Party movement) are putting up against them. They are desperate and are now trying to align all their supportive identity groups in an effort to overpower the core of the country. This will not work, however, because they haven’t reached the tipping point yet and for every supporter that falls for the race-baiting garbage like this (who are extremely loyal al-Bama supporters), two or three “moderates” decide that this wasn’t part of the deal that made them support Hussein in the first place. The tacit assumption was that if we elected our first “black” president then we would enter into some sort of post-racial harmony never seen before. This meant that folks like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson would have to go find real jobs. They never thought that Obama himself would start channeling Sharpton and Jackson himself!!! This is desperation.

I don’t entirely buy that. After all, TheWon really did not know either his father or any substantial number of black Americans during his childhood. He was raised by an Indonesian step-father and a white mother & grandparents. Granted that white mother and grandparents were avowed communists of long standing, but the “out of Africa” theory just doesn’t fit with what they would have thought about communism. See Stalin or Mao. Listening to TheWon, my vote goes to Mao. Any veneer of “blackness” TheWon paints is just to take advantage of his color, most of which he apparently maintains from a bottle since it varies so much from day to day.

Warlord Obama Walking the Plank to a Dhimmi Nation
[The federal government requires "sensitivity training" for federal employees, including those who work at the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Obama has appointed Arif Alikhan, a Sunni Muslim as Assistant Secretary to Homeland Security, and Kareem Shora, the national executive director for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, to a position on the Homeland Security Advisory Council.
The repression of political correctness combined with acceptance of Muslims in the U.S. military produced 13 victims when Army Major Nidal Hasan went on a murderous rampage at Fort Hood only days after the House Judiciary Committee removed a part of the USA Patriot Act for tracking non-U.S. citizens in anti-terrorism investigations. Obama would not admit it was an act of Islamic terror in spite of mounting evidence that proves Major Hasan had been openly espousing Islamic jihad in the military against non-Muslims for years.
Obama has nationalized entire industries with taxpayer bailouts, passed the Economic Stimulus Bill, pushed the Health Care Bill, and the Cap and Trade Bill, converting a once free-market into a government-run socialist state. All of these actions rely on heavily increased taxes from the American taxpayer with more control over their lives for generations to come.
Obama's leniency toward Islam provokes the question of whose and what interests he is really standing for. The man with the name Barack Hussein Obama apologizes for America to Muslim nations while he endorses Islam in America. However shocking it may seem, and whatever the intentions, with Islam's nose in American government, the socialist plans are paving the way to generations of dhimmitude. The inflicting control over American lives the plans will cause and the taxes Americans will have to pay to put them into action is analogous to a jizya tax in accordance to Islamic doctrine–taxes imposed on non-Muslims to control them until they embrace Islam completely.]

[Neuroticism
Main article: Neuroticism
Neuroticism is the tendency to experience negative emotions, such as anger, anxiety, or depression. It is sometimes called emotional instability. Those who score high in neuroticism are emotionally reactive and vulnerable to stress. They are more likely to interpret ordinary situations as threatening, and minor frustrations as hopelessly difficult. Their negative emotional reactions tend to persist for unusually long periods of time, which means they are often in a bad mood. These problems in emotional regulation can diminish the ability of a person scoring high on neuroticism to think clearly, make decisions, and cope effectively with stress.
At the other end of the scale, individuals who score low in neuroticism are less easily upset and are less emotionally reactive. They tend to be calm, emotionally stable, and free from persistent negative feelings. Freedom from negative feelings does not mean that low scorers experience a lot of positive feelings.

Dreams of Barack Obama’s Father
Dreams of Barack Obama’s Father
[He fought against African socialism advocated by pro-western third way leader. This guy. And the president of Kenya, this is Kenyatta. Do you have Kenyatta? There he is.
And he fought against those guys in favor of the communist allied leader. He wrote an article in 1965. It's called "Problems Facing Our Socialism," written by Obama senior.
This has a point. It's not just a history lesson. This actually applies to today and maybe can help you figure out what's really going on in the world and maybe help wake your neighbors up.
In this report, this mocks the government's economic policy of African socialism while focusing on what needs to be done in Kenya. He says "What is more important is to find means by which we can redistribute our economic gains to the benefit of all and at the same time be able to channel some of these gains to future production. It's the government's obligation."
He goes on: "We also need to eliminate power structures that have been built through excessive accumulation so that not only a few individuals have control of vast magnitude of the resources as is the case now. How could we afford to ignore the pockets of this economy which are underdeveloped without some positive statement about their development? In Kenya, the colonial government only developed the so-called white areas."
Anti-colonialism — in this case, it was anti-English
and Marxist. Not even Marxist. It was full-fledged Soviet.
That is Barack Obama senior. Those
were the dreams from his father.]

This is sick! He is so racist, so much the agitator, so much the DIS-uniter that I am really becoming afraid that we will never recover. After 150 years of trying to form a color-free society and trying affirmative action, it all counts for NOTHING. We will never be free of playing the race card. I feel so disgusted and really depressed. Americans, all Americans, should reject this way of campaigning. But many won’t. It is still difficult to process the fact that an American President is another Sharpton or Jesse Jackson. We HAVE to get him and his cronies OUT!!!

The Truth May Inconvenience Our Perceptions
[.] Can we not be legislated into slavery, or simply taxed into it? If many blacks recoil in horror at the thought of tens of thousands of black Confederates fighting and dying under the Confederate Battle Flag 135 years ago, it may just show the extent of their indoctrination, their alienation with the past, and the magnitude of the challenge Southerners face in ending racial hostility.]
Earth to Obama again..
Out of America:
[E.G. Long: "Africa is a painful reality. Over the past 21 years, I have lived and worked in five African countries: Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Zaire and Nigeria. ..There is nothing in Richburg's book that I could contradict. I too, experienced the horror, and hopelessness of that continent. I read 'Out of America' in one sitting... "
Steve Wishnevsky: "This is the voice missing from the current race 'dialogue.' Mr. Richburg is a courageous writer and clear observer...
His is an authentic voice and should be listened to closely. America is the only land where the descendants of Africans have anything approaching freedom and economic opportunity."
H. Luther: "So much of what you hear about Africa lately is from people who have never been there. People who want to romanticize what is in
fact chaos and disaster... Richburg has written what he has seen, he has presented reality with great integrity. It is a must read."]

gastorgrab commented:
Progressives have no problem with forcing one person to work for the benefit of another. Their main objection to the institution of slavery is the ‘private ownership’ aspect of it.
Whereas Republican Lincoln understood that the freedom to act in one’s own self interest, is in the collective interest of any community, a Progressive president during the American Civil War would have simply nationalized the entire slave industry.
Instead of “his slave” and “your slave”, the new rhetoric would reflect the new status of “our slaves”.
