Take a look at these political views and see if you can guess who this is:
- Rejected and blasted Winston Churchill;
- Vilified and targeted General Motors;
- Advocated wealth redistribution from (in his words) greedy "corporations" to "health insurance" and "public works projects";
- Favored taxpayer funding of universal health care;
- Supported government stimulus and trumpeted the public sector over the private sector;
- Constantly bashed Wall Street;
- Dismissed traditional notions of American exceptionalism and framed American not as selflessly serving the post-World War II world but instead as selfishly flaunting its so-called "mountainous ego" and "racist-imperialist-colonialist" ambitions;
- Warned God-and-gun-clinging Americans about huckster preachers and instead sought the political support of the "social justice" Religious Left for various causes and campaigns;
- Perceived the Catholic Church as an obstacle to his vision for the state;
- Confidently declared certain government actions "constitutional" or "unconstitutional";
- Excoriated the "tentacles of big business," bankers, big oil, the "Big Boys," "excess profits," corporate fat cats and their "fat contracts," "millionaires" and "rich men," and the wealthy;
- Attacked "GOP" tax cuts that "spare the rich" and that only "benefit millionaires";
- Singled out the "corporation executive" for not paying his "fair" share;
- Used slogans such as "change" and "forward."
This is a trick question, If you guessed Barrack "Papa Doc" Obama, you would be almost correct. These are the views of Frank Marshall Davis, Barrack's beloved mentor and who was a card carrying member of the Communist Party USA..
