Obama's real agenda

Victor David Hanson is very popular on Free Republic. He has magnanimously titled his piece "Obama's Real Agenda." This allows every Freeper to encapsulate their own personal Obama narrative.

Travis McGee kicks it cold war style:

Obama is the most successful communist traitor mole in history, bar none. Kim Philby couldn’t tie his shoes.

But if being stuck in the 1980s seem out of touch, glide625 goes to the 1960s:

The obvious, indeed stated agenda equals Reparations. It’s Reparations by any other name.

leilani moderns up the reparations:
His allegiance is to the offshore third worlder view that America is the root of all evil. The reparations he seeks are for those abroad who want revenge for a nation which stands as a slap in the face to their inadequacies & the wealth he wants to spread around is to them. He wants to annhialate America's economic preeminence as revenge for them, as does his patron George Soros
Reparations for the new millennium, yet still sounding as full of White Fear! Amazing!

mo has another narrative ripped from the 60's:
“...it is war...it is the war of the Democrats against the Baby Boom...who have paid into and now are poised to reap the “benefits” of Social Security and Medicare...it is the war of those who created these fraudulent programs ...which have fleeced 45 years of taxes from the Baby Boom..and never intended to grant them the “benefits” they were conned into allowing to be withheld from their paychecks. It is a personal war...because by hastening them to their graves...they intend to fleece their descendants of their estates.”
Not sure why he put that in quotes.

PGalt goes back to the 80's:
He is their poster child. The neo-statist. Hope and change becomes rope and chains.
This is a quality narrative. When there is no actual oppression, Freepers get to claim it was only due to their hard work:


I'm just sad there are no Muslim reffs.

  1. The poster leilani, is Hispanic I think. Pretty rich, the "third worlder" comment coming from her. When Hispanics are called "third worlders", the same poster whines. Typical. Just for ref, I am the same Anon who argued with Euphgeek, and although I am a GOP supporter, FR makes me sick.

  2. it's interesting that you read this blog. I'm a moderate Dem, and can't go to DU, it makes me sick. Props on your psychic fortitude!

  3. I went to DU once. It seemed to be more of a 4chan for politics. I do go to DailyKos, ThinkProgress and Crooks&Liars but usually only for the articles. I tend to skip over the comments.
