Obamunism

This is a new word that I heard this week and I thought it was very appropriate for our new “President Elect” (I still choke on the words). Although I certainly know what “communism” is, I still looked it up to get a good definition to see if the coining of the phrase “Obamunism” was appropriate (as if I didn't know already).

Here is a brief descripton of communism (Obamunism):

• They feel that many problems in our society are due to the unequal distribution of wealth
• They believe that to bring about happiness and prosperity for all, the distinctions between the rich and poor of society must be eliminated.
• They claim that since the rich will never give up their goods or status voluntarily, a rebellion of the poor is necessary.
• If capitalism is defined as a social system based on individual rights (and individual wealth), then communism is its direct opposite.
• Communism embraces atheism and dismisses religion as “the opiate of the masses,” a system designed by the rich and powerful to keep the poor in their place.

These were just a few of the “definitions” I found – I think we would all agree that Obamunism is an appropriate term. Let’s see if they can add it to Webster’s!

This is what our country asked for on 11/4/08 (WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!)
