 | Obama's "Redistributive Justice:" 2001 NPR interview 1. The Supreme Court never considered "redistribution of wealth" or "economic justice" among the guarantees provided to citizens. 2. Even the Warren Court was not "radical" enough to do so -- to impose real change on the nation. 3. The courts have generally provided negative constraints on the government rather than positive obligations the government owes to its citizens (specifically, here, such as economic justice and redistribution of wealth). 4. Therefore, it is a "tragedy" that the civil rights movement became so courts-focused, because it limited what redress they could actually obtain -- and it took attention away from the "community organizing" efforts which could assemble "coalitions of power" (political power, that is) to actually achieve "redistributive change." Such change simply could not be had in the courts, still laboring under the "constraints" imposed by the Founding Fathers. 5. "And in some ways we still suffer from that." |

 | 2001 Interview with Obama the Wealth Distributing Racist Welfare Con Man A few weeks after the Joe the Plumber "spread the wealth around" clip heard 'round the world, a 2001 radio interview with Chicago station,WBEZ, Barack Obama has surfaced. Obama has been unapologetic for his comments to Joe Wurzelbacher in which he told him it isn't that he doesn't want Joe to succeed, it's that he wants others behind him to succeed also. Barack Obama's comment was viewed as socialist, and was the subject of a McCain ad. The surfacing of Barack Obama's 2001 radio interview however, has caused a new firestorm of controversy where he talked about redistribution of wealth. The audio of the redistribution of wealth interview can be heard on Youtube In the 2001 discussion on with Chicago Public Radio, Mr Obama, then an obscure state senator and university law lecturer, was speaking about the US Supreme Court and noted that its history meant that "I'm not optimistic about bringing about major redistributive change through the courts". Although his remarks were heavily analytical and academic, he spoke warmly of the notion of redistributing wealth, suggesting that there were other vehicles that the courts to achieve it. Mr Obama said: "One of the, I think, tragedies of the civil rights movement was because the civil rights movement became so court focused I think there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organising and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalition of powers through which you bring about redistributive change. In some ways we still suffer from that." 2001 Obama WBEZ Interview Redistribution Wealth Warren Court Obama, Acorn, Community organizer, New Party, Democratic Socialists of America, DSA, Saul Alinsky, Obama Acorn attorney, Exploited poor, Acorn voter fraud, Obama lied about his connection to Acorn |
 | Barack Obama on Redistribution of Wealth in 2001 Barack Obama on Redistribution of Wealth in 2001 Obama in that interview said, "If you look at the victories and failures of the civil rights movement, and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where it succeeded was to vest formal rights in previously dispossessed peoples, so that I would now have the right to vote, I would now be able to sit at a lunch counter and order and as long as I could pay for it Id be okay." "But," Obama said, "The Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society. And to that extent as radical as I think people tried to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn't that radical. It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, as least as it's been interpreted, and Warren Court interpreted in the same way that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties, says what the states can't do to you, says what the federal government can't do to you, but it doesn't say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf. And that hasnt shifted." Obama said "one of the, I think, the tragedies of the civil rights movement, was because the civil rights movement became so court focused, I think that there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change, and in some ways we still stuffer from that." A caller, "Karen," asked if it's "too late for that kind of reparative work economically? And she asked if that work should be done through the courts or through legislation. "Maybe Im showing my bias here as a legislator as well as a law professor," Obama said. "I'm not optimistic about bringing about major redistributive change through the courts. The institution just isnt structured that way." Presumably McCain will go after Obama in ways some on the conservative bloggosphere are today, accusing Obama of calling it a "tragedy" for not venturing into "the issues of redistribution of wealth" -- though Obama's campaign says that's a twisting of his words. "In this interview back in 2001, Obama was talking about the civil rights movement and the kind of work that has to be done on the ground to make sure that everyone can live out the promise of equality," |

 | Modern Conservatism - A Critique READ: Nature is indeed libertarian in the extent that it is incapable of a redistributive scheme such as the welfare state. As long as nature is Malthusian, that is, as long as population growth out strips the rate of surplus food production, nature can have no other form of society but that which satisfies the most, with the least amount of effort, which would preclude possibilities of wealth redistribution beyond that of the defense of the outlets of trade. Society becomes philanthropic, however, only when there is a surplus of budgetary resources available. This in turn creates the obvious transference of the philanthropic from the religious to the secular realm. The welfare state is the natural outgrowth of the success of markets, because in order to create such an astounding surplus of budgetary resources there must first exist a highly specialized division of labor and competitive markets to create it. The welfare state, knowingly or unknowingly creates the unintended consequence of an increase in dependency, that is, it transfers resources from the highly intelligent to the highly unintelligent and the least productive members of society. Children become a liability for the productive, and an incentive for the destructive elements of society, just the reverse from the world prior to the advent of the welfare state. Therefore bads are multiplied instead of goods. The upper class dies off and the lower class proliferates and demands more and more of their unlimited wants at the expense of the upper classes. A return to voluntary, rational low governmental involvement at this point is therefore an impossibility when the lower classes reach the critical mass of being able to vote in representatives of organized slave revolts against the creators of wealth. Therefore a return to the natural order of the world is impossible by reformist means because the democratic masses would be incapable of proliferation and life without the system that gave birth to their power and existence. A return to the natural order can only be achieved through the metastasis of implosion and/or voluntary secession by those who create wealth. |
