Obama's Dysfunctional World View

[native]

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says President Barack Obama harbors a deep-seated animosity toward the West as a result of his forefather’s rebellion against British rule in their native Kenya. Obama, who had a bust of Winston Churchill removed from the Oval Office when he first settled in, operates with a “Kenyan, anti-colonial” worldview, Gingrich told the National Review...

"I think Obama gets up every morning with a worldview that is fundamentally wrong about reality,” he said. “If you look at the continuous denial of reality, there has got to be a point where someone stands up and says that this is just factually insane.”

“This is a person who is fundamentally out of touch with how the world works, who happened to have played a wonderful con, as a result of which he is now president,” Gingrich said.

I won't answer the poll. I would have to go with your third option but there is a HUGE difference between don't know and don't care.


I care what his view is on this subject, but I don't know.

Election '08: Barack Obama's economic blueprint sounds like one his communist father tried to foist on Kenya 40 years ago, with massive taxes and succor shrouded as "investments."

As a Nairobi bureaucrat, Barack Hussein Obama Sr. advised the pro-Western Kenyan government there to "redistribute" income through higher taxes. He also demonized corporations and called for massive government "investment" in social programs.

Barack Obama Sr., who died in 1982 at age 46 in a Kenya car crash. Writing in a 1965 scholarly paper, Obama's late father slammed the administration of then-President Jomo Kenyatta for moving the Third World country away from socialism toward capitalism. He chafed at the idea of relying on private investors — who earn "dividends" on their venture capital — to develop the country's fledgling economy.

"What is more important is to find means by which we can redistribute our economic gains to the benefit of all," said the senior Obama, a Harvard-educated economist. "This is the government's obligation." The "means" he had in mind were confiscatory taxes on a scale that redefines the term "progressive taxation."

"Theoretically," he wrote, "there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed."

You know, that azzhole has some good things to say and, behind all the ConkHate, is a reasonable person, but the fvck just can't stop hating and showing his Limbaugh-y ass to the public and the media.

Pity, all the potential of all these horseshit Conk hater leaders wasted for a lack of a discernible whisp of charm.

Less interesting, perhaps, HS, but about as relevant as a "nude three point stance" in the middle of a playoff game.

Skelly, whe anti-colonial worldview, more often than not, throws the baby out with the bathwater! With the exception of brutal 19th-century Belgian colonialism in the Congo, the "anti-colonial" third world regimes that popped up after WWII are directly responsible for more death, destruction, misery, corruption, inefficiency and dysfunction than all the rest of the colonizers put together.

It makes sense now that Obama returned the oval office bust of Winston Churchill....after listing to his Kenyon relatives and his father before he got drunk and ran into a tree bad mouthing Britain.

In an eerie conclusion, Obama writes that "I sat at my father's grave and spoke to him through Africa's red soil." In a sense, through the earth itself, he communes with his father and receives his father's spirit. Obama takes on his father's struggle, not by recovering his body but by embracing his cause. He decides that where Obama Sr. failed, he will succeed. Obama Sr.'s hatred of the colonial system becomes Obama Jr.'s hatred; his botched attempt to set the world right defines his son's objective. Through a kind of sacramental rite at the family tomb, the father's struggle becomes the son's birthright.

Bullshit. Colonialism in the "New World." Most death, destruction, misery, corruption, inefficiency, and dysfunction in the history of the world.

And, "anti-colonial" is pretty fucking broad, nativist. We were founded by an anti-colonial rebellion.

As you well know, skelly, we are talking about the communist-inspired and paid-for post WWII anti-colonial spasms of which the elder Obama was an integral part and during which the Dutch, British and French lost their overseas colonies. The violent and bloody post-independence India-Pakistan split is only one example of extreme and violent post-colonial dysfunction. Rwanda is another. Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia are additional examples.

And you are colmpletely wrong. ONLY the eighteenth century Belgian occupation of the Congo yielded death and destruction commensurate with the communist and national socialist holocausts of the twentieth century. The other colonial experiences were child's play by comparison.
