We're Progressives and We Believe in Obama!

by V. Gentry Williams - Proud Democrat and Barrack Obama Supporter

We believe every woman who becomes pregnant has a right to choose whether or not she will deliver that baby. If she can’t afford to pay for a medical abortion, we believe it is her right that government should help her pay for it because this is an inalienable right as a free American citizen to make that choice.

We believe every man, woman and child has the right to quality health insurance and if they can’t afford to pay for it, then we believe our government must provide it! This too is an inalienable right due them by a rich nation. For a fraction of what America now spends on making war we could have free healthcare and a free college education for anyone who wants it!

We believe it is government's job to protect us against a foreign invasion and protect us against criminals at home, but we also believe government should protect us from losing our jobs and keep us safe from sudden layoffs and guarantee us all a fair and livable wage with basic benefits like universal healthcare and a decent retirement. America can afford it, we are a rich country and we workers made it rich! We deserve these things because we deserve to share in the wealth now isolated in the pockets of a few wealthy families. It is our right as ctizens to share in the American dream!

“I’m in this race to take those tax breaks away from companies that are moving jobs overseas and put them in the pockets of hard working Americans who deserve it. And I won’t raise the minimum wage every ten years – I will raise it to keep pace so that workers don’t’ fall behind. That is why I am in it. To protect the American
worker. To fight for the American worker.” -- Barack Obama, Speech in Des Moines, IA, November 10, 2007

We believe too many wealthy white people have cornered way too much money and in so doing they have exploited and deprived poor people from obtaining their fair share of the great wealth in America. We believe it is government’s job to tax the rich and help lift up the poor and also give back more to the middle class.

We believe that corporate welfare is an invention of the rich to become richer while exploiting the poor and middle class. We believe the hundreds of billions wasted on "corporate welfare" could be better used to feed and clothe our poor and provide all Americans with so much more, like better education through safe schools and higher paid teachers. We want to live a country where children do not go to school hungry because corporations are getting billions in tax refunds and other forms of corporate welfare!

We believe that America has become a ruthless bully on the world stage and disrespects the rights of sovereign nations to manage their own affairs. Corporate America is controlling our military to do their bidding. This is an outrage that must not stand, we want to bring our military home!

We believe that the American dream has been stolen by rich white people who run everything and keep people of color, women, gay people and poor people repressed from sharing in the American dream. We believe Obama will finally put an end to the "glass ceiling"and all people will then rise to their highest potential!

We believe that America now wages a war on the poor people in this country and in other nations of the world. American military is always invading poor countries to extend their power and steal the natural wealth and assets of the smaller countries. This is why America was attacked on 9-11!

We believe that Hispanic workers have been exploited by their white masters who get rich off their hard work and offer them little in return. We believe Obama will finally bring them into equality with all workers with fair wages and benefits. Currently they pay billions in taxes and get nothing in return, this must end!

We believe too many blacks are in prison because they could not afford a good attorney or get a fair trial because white juries that see a black man assume he is guilty. If being poor is a crime then we're guilty as charged. This is why black people are over-represented in our prisons. They are poor, they are victimized and they kept down by the rich class in America that makes all the rules. Obama is going to change that!

We believe Barrack Obama is going to end the war-mongering, not just in Iraq, but in the world. America's days as a world bully must end and peace must prevail. Give peace a chance - Obama wants to help us stop the spread of imperialism and end the BushCo coprorate war machine! No more blood for oil!

We believe Obama will offer the hand of friendship to all nations, rich and poor. Because he understands that when people are no longer poor, hungry and oppressed by imperialist expansionism then and only then will their dignity be restored and we will have peace. We shall then live as one people with respect for each other and for the world we share.

We believe Barrack Obama offers us hope for a clean earth, where the poor of the world are free famine, free from the guns of war and free of the constant exploitation by the greedy, self-serving rich white class that has kept the world down and in virtual slavery for over two thousand years.

We believe in Barrack Obama because he offers us hope. Hope to the poor, hope to the minorities, hope to undocumented citizens being exploited by rich white racists. Barrack Obama is feared by rich white people because he offers equality, fairness and opportunity to all people and this is something rich, white, America can’t stand because they might lose some of their power and control.

We believe it is time for the great masses of the poor and middle class to rise up against an elite white society and take back what is rightfully ours! Obama is our leader and our hope for a better day, for all of us. This is why we support Barrack Obama!

My appologies, but the above was a spoof! However, it was a spoof that is based on often repeated leftist rhetoric and what I believe most left of center democrats believe. If their rhetoric doesn't scare the #@$& out of you, it should because they are gaining ground on traditional American values! This fantastic bunch of leftist lies is motivating the so-called progressives and why Obama is their leader.

The issues and ideas I have noted previously are taken right out of the speeches by politicos like Obama, Hillary, Pelosi, Carter, etc., You can read also them on moveon.org and other leftist websites. These radical thoughts are reflected by TV personalities like Bill Maher, Keith Olbermann, Dan Rather or we see the more outrageous rhetoric repeated in Michael Moore's so-called documentary movies. Yesterday I listened to NPR as democrat activist and would-be politician, Jerry Springer, recited many of these very same ideas and issues. Then there is the Rev. Wright and his ilk... You don't have to look far to see the scary truth about democrats on the far left.

The left usually soft peddles these points and issues, but I wanted you to read it as it really is, so you would be reminded what we're up against. The leftwing of America is a populist movement, plain and simple. They buy votes usings give-a-ways. They are basically socialists trying to re-invent America based upon many false assumptions, old communist ideologies, using class warfare, hatred, racism and biggotry as motivators.

You forgot about the CIA inventing AIDS in the basement of the White House to commit genocide against African Americans. You forgot that 911 was an inside job, orchestrated by Bush and Karl Rove.

Dan, you're right of course. These are rabid leftwing claims that have surfaced many times. Anyone who has listened to Obama's minister berate America and Bush would recognize them.

I guess I was just trying to be modest in citing the more [basic] democratic issues and beliefs.
There's probably a good hundred or more slightly right of center democrats who don't believe the CIA dumped crack cocaine on American ghetto's or Bush/Cheney/Rove orchestrated 9-11 as part of the global conspiracy for a new world order. lol
