May 8, 2008: It appears that in the current Democrat Primary climate, Senator Obama will be the party's presidential nominee, and there's a good chance, at this time, that Obama could win the election.
Until proven wrong, I have some strong fears about that occurrence, for a number of reasons. In no particular order,
- inculcation by Pastor Wright of his views on American society, most notably expressed by Michelle Obama
- Obama's continued speeches about uniting the country, including building and maintaining a bi-partisan cooperative existence in the halls of Congress (a corporatist action)
- Michelle Obama's remarks about evening out the economic pie - spreading the wealth
- Obama's early statements that show he would delegate much of the presidential management work
- a lack of evidence proving Obama's professional capability to assume the office (other than making lofty speeches)
- the weakness of both houses of Congress in carrying out their duty of "checks and balances"
It appears to me that what we have here is the OBAMA Acronym: "Obamas Believe America should be a Marxist America".
That doesn't change my previous opinions that Obama is a liberal fascist - Marxism and liberal fascism are shirts cut from the same cloth. What we have is the socialist call for corporatism (control of a state or organization by large interest groups; "individualism is in danger of being swamped by a kind of corporatism"; important - read this). This unity called for by Obama is a nationalist call - in itself a good thing - but as expressed in opinions by Michelle Obama, indicates a desire to denigrate capitalism and replace it with a more socialist economic approach.
Now this is not a new idea from those who would - and did - lead this country, except that in the end, because we really know that a strong capitalism is what has made us the great country weare, it has not worked. Of course, there's no guarantee that it won't, now, given the ideologies in which many of our recent crops of college graduates have been immersed.
