Obama Says, "Let Them Eat Cake"
Obama defines our American values as being able to live free from "fear and want".
Free from want? No, the American Tradition is that we are Free men able to make our way in the world free of government interference. Our American Tradition says that we can create our own lives.
As soon as the government gets into the business of making sure that we are "free from want" the government is also in the business of defining how we will run our lives. The only way for the government to ensure that no one wants for anything is to engineer a society where everyone works and/or gets money for nothing.
Such a society is not a free society. It is the work of a political architect. It is oppressive, and will ultimately become fascistic. Money always comes with strings attached. The more we allow the government to redistribute money, the more strings their will be, until we are dangling on the wires.
Obama is outside the American Tradition. He needs to resign as President of the United States.
From Gateway:
This was an interesting line from Barack Obama's speech in Strasbourg, France on Friday April 3, 2009.
Barack Obama reveals a bizarre understanding of American values:We know that transformational change is possible. We know this because of three reasons: First, because, for all our differences, there are certain values that bind us together and reveal our common humanity: the universal longing to live a life free from fear, and free from want; a life marked by dignity and respect andsimple justice.So freedom from "fear" and "want" are Western values that bind us together?
Our two republics were founded in service of these ideals. In America, it is written into our founding documents as "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." In France: "Liberté" -- (applause) -- absolutely -- "egalité, fraternité." (Applause.) Our moral authority is derived from the fact that generations of our citizens have fought and bled to uphold these values in our nations and others.
Since when? That's kind of bizarre.
Is that what separates America from China or Saudi Arabia?
Freedom from "want" and "simple justice" sound more like something Karl Marx would say than George Washington.
In fact, it looks like he took the line from none other than failed UN General Secretary Kofi Annan:Women themselves have the right to live in dignity, in freedom from want and freedom from fear."Just what exactly is Obama talking about here?
Does he even know what he's saying?
