Why Barack Obama is an anti-colonialist - Wa-Po

Postby KaosDad » Fri, 08 Oct 2010 16:54:20

by Dinesh D'Souza

Some have described the president as being a conventional liberal or even a socialist. But liberals and socialists are typically focused on poverty and social equality; Obama rarely addresses these issues, and when he does so, it is without passion. Pretty much the only time Obama raises his voice is when he is expressing antagonism toward the big, bad corporations and toward those earning more than $250,000 a year. I believe the most compelling explanation of Obama's actions is that he is, just like his father, an anti-colonialist. Anti-colonialism is the idea that the rich countries got rich by looting the poor countries, and that within the rich countries, plutocratic and corporate elites continue to exploit ordinary citizens.

Well, he's obviously anti capitalist...he wont overtly promote socialism because its gotten so much press, but anti-capitalism is a socialist tenet. It makes it easier to swallow when he harps about their big salaries and profits than it would to throw around harsher terms that could clearly be linked to socialism...
No more catchy slogans for me...I am simply fed up...4...four...4...2+2...
