Barack Hussein Obama Will Be Redistributing Lots and Lots of Your Money

The Cohen resolution does not mention reparations. It does commit the House to rectifying “the lingering consequences of the misdeeds committed against African-Americans under slavery and Jim Crow.”

Where's the Pride?

The Cohen resolution referred to is Steven Cohen’s pandering piece of nauseous legislation that presumes to render an apology for slavery from all Americans. (Not getting one from me) There is no need to specifically refer to reparations,it is inferred - “…rectifying “the lingering consequences…” - and it is expected. Doesn’t matter anyway, Obama and his incoming passel of marxists have it handled.

Obama speaks to minority journalists
As president, would Obama issue a formal government apology to the Native Americans?

“We’ve got some very sad and difficult things to account for in our nation’s history, Obama said, describing some of the issues plaguing the Native American community.

But Obama took the issue a step further to include the plight of Black Americans and slavery.

Obama said he’d want to “not only offer words, but deeds” in dealing with reparations for Black people. The Harvard graduate said he supports reparations in the form of improved inner-city schools and an increase in jobs in the Black community.

A poised and calm Obama said he would support plans and initiatives that work toward “lifting people out of the legacy of slavery.”

And so will the victim pimps and race panderers waiting eagerly in the wings, rubbing their hands in anticipatory and greedy glee.

Now I wonder who gets our tax dollars first. As Obama’s destructive policies roll out, will the paycheck you busted your ass to earn be buying 40 mules and land for those oh-so aggrieved “african” americans, or will your pay check be distributing “social justice” to the millions of global whiners who will supposedly benefit from Obama’s Global Poverty Tax.

Or you could vote for McCain. Face it, McCain is hard to swallow, but swallowing Obama is asking for a prolonged and pernicious death.

After these links and below the fold I’ve reproduced the Resolution Regarding Reparations For Slavery, submitted in 2000, by none other than Trinity United Church of Christ and University Church. In it’s preface it states that these institutions - “have held church school classes and study groups on reparations.” I suppose we are expected to believe that Obama - the passionate “community activist”, the law “professor” who hammered his students about “social justice” - was sleeping through those classes and that he had no input into the writing of the resolution. Yeah, right, and he loves America too.

Members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church of Christ began conversations on the issue of reparations for slavery following the Disciples Justice Action Network-sponsored Justice Jubilee 2000 gathering in Tulsa, Oklahoma in September 2000. It was noted that awareness and discussion of this issue occurs almost exclusively among African American clergy and those churches they serve, but is also a justice issue long overdue for the serious attention of Christian citizens motivated by faith and tradition. Members of two Illinois Conference congregations - Trinity UCC, Chicago and University Church, Chicago - have held church school classes and study groups on reparations.

SUMMARY:

This resolution calls upon the Illinois Conference of the United Church of Christ, its Associations, its local churches, and other
related agencies, to be educated about the historical evils of the slave trade and its legacy which is a pernicious and self perpetuating distrust and fear that continues to feed the sin of racism and its fruits of inequality and injustice. It further calls upon the Conference to take actions in support of reparations.
