In other words, Obama explicitly rejects economic policies proven to work and embraces policies proven to fail.

And apparently the American people are going to love socialism so much he'll be able to serve not just one term, not just two terms, but in his own words, two-and-a-half terms.

Of course Obama doesn't like "winner take all" - if the Dems had used it in the primaries, instead of that moronic proportional representation, Obama wouldn't be their candidate.

And can someone explain to me why Obama reveres his father, who blew him off as an infant?

Social justice means different things to different people, but in practice when governments seek to enforce "justice" outside of administering the law, it always turns out badly. Social justice means being rewarded or punished based on the circumstances of others with whom you can be grouped. Justice is only truly possible for individuals when it is based on their own circumstances or actions; trying to apply justice to a group inevitably creates injustice. If Americans knew where Obama wanted to go with "Social Justice", this charade would be over.

The problem is that no one thinks that it will apply to them - it's everyone else that will have to pony up. They think that we can just hand out all of this money via all of these social programs without lowering anyone else's standard of living. What a rude awakening it will be when they realize that when BHO said he would "soak the rich", he means anyone earning more than $50,000 a year, $100,000 filing jointly. I doubt I could scare up more than a handful of people making $50K pre-tax (or post, for that matter) that would call themselves rich.

I saw a bumper sticker in the parking lot at Costco that read, "I'm too poor to vote Republican." She has no idea how poor she'll be when the Democrats are in charge! And yes, it was on the back of a Prius, but you knew that already.

Father Charles Edward Coughlin was another famous figure in America who spoke of "social justice". He was also a supporter of Naziism.
Co-incidence, or does history really repeat itself?

Personally, I've always defined "social justice" as "a liberal getting slugged in the teeth".

Greed and fear coupled together have a way of crippling logic and reason in the minds of the greedy.

The way in which to prevent the inevitable redistribution of income is for the greedy to practice the art of voluntary equitable distribution. Should another entity or individual have to take away from the wealthy in order to help provide for the less fortunate?

A better way to solve the conundrum is for the less fortunate to stop purchasing anything that will inure to the benefit of the wealthy. The financially struggling classes should band together and elect candidates who will rescind corporate tax breaks and the advantages that have been extended to corporations (who are using those advantages for their personal benefit offshore), along with the non-corporate greed barons that have not appreciated the largesse that has been extended to them.

Why? Because the consenting majority entered into a condigned contract with the investor classes, allowing them certain breaks with the expectation that they would in turn contribute in-kind to the commonweal!

The wealth of the upper classes is not a result of hard work by the wealthy, rather it is as a result of the hard work and the consent of the governed; and that consent is subject to being revoked! Can you say Robespierre or Bolshevik Revolution? The governed have the power to force the wealthy to live just like everyone else in society, and we should consider doing so on a corporation by corporation, greed baron by greed baron basis.

If the ignorant slave masters would have simply participated in a 'commonweal enterprise system’, and would have simply paid wages to the enslaved for example, they would have still benefited, without the accompanying strife that is being visited upon their progeny today.

And what have the majority of their progeny learned? They have learned to behave, in many instances, in the same manner as their ancestors did! Greed and fear coupled together have a way of crippling logic and reason in the minds of the greedy.

The cessation of cooperation by the wealthy will only result in the cessation of corporate-gained wealth, when we shut you down and stop buying from you.

We will shut you down, and become a nation of small businesses, a nation in which everyone will share in the commonweal!

Gotcha. Gotcha. Gotcha. Loud and clear.

You fascist, socialist whackjobs are pretty entertaining. Do you actually believe the pap that you dropped above, Rev.? Because, I have to tell you, you sound like a intellectually-stunted idiot.

Unless that screed was satire, in which case you are a genius.

I'll take a pass on the class warfare BS Rev.

I can't resist. Now think of "Revnge of the Nerds"."What the fuck is commonweal?"

Wow.

The "rev" is definitely out to create a failed society of apathetic do-nothings who will eventually starve to death or begin murdering their neighbors for food.

Kinda like Detroit.

Hey "Revrend"
"The (EEEVIL) rich" get their money from creating JOBS, that produce GOODS and SERVICES.
Your preaching, however, creates NOTHING; therefore, YOU deserve NOTHING, you miserable burden on the prolitariat!

The problem is that no one thinks that it will apply to them - it's everyone else that will have to pony up. - CoderInCrisis

To elaborate on Coder's thesis... No DEMOCRAT SUPPORTER thinks they'll have to pony up, only the Republican supporters. This is based on the practise of bigshot Dems who support massive taxes but then evade paying them.

"What the fuck is commonweal?"

I don't know Ted, but I don't like the sound of it. I'll take a guess and say it's a leftist term for redistribution aimed at dragging everyone down to the LCD.

In Jamestown, 1607 A.D., Capt. John Smith and William Bradford set the group up as a "collective". A commune sort of enterprise. After a while, it suffered and failed. Some worked really hard, some had skills and some were really smart. Others were chronically ill, or ate too much of the good stuff or stole food or the crude tools for agriculture. It evolved out of necessity to a "private enterprise" town economy, that did grow and prosper, and change from the bottom up, as needed.
