The notorious terrorist and long time Obama friend, Bill Ayers, is in the news again. This time for his eyebrow raising comments to University of Oregon students last week.

He was introduced as an “Honored Guest” for “an evening of radical imagination”. Mostly Ayers did his best to comment on how he would relish in the American Empire coming to a close.

From The Blaze:

The great challenge for our generation [is] to find a way not just to live differently as individuals, but to find a way to think differently about what work means, to think differently about citizenship means, to think differently about what it means to be a ‘citizen of the world.’ One of the great dangers that we live in right now, is I don’t think there’s any question, and I don’t think any of you would question, that the American Empire is in decline–that economically, and politically, and in some ways culturally, that we are in decline. And yet, the United States remains the most powerful, weaponized military system the Earth has ever known. That’s a treacherous combination. A declining economic power, and an expanding military power. And we are going to have to find ways to re-imagine what it means to live in this coun–in this world. And here we are 4% of the world’s population, 4.5% of the world’s population, consuming vast amounts of natural resources, consuming vast amounts of finished goods, and no politician will say that the empire is declining and that the game is over.

It looks like Bill Ayers would like us to be more like Germany. It’s hard to tell exactly what he wants, but he definitely doesn’t want America to be strong and proud.
