I just heard that some Obama fans are starting to have
second thoughts about him. I am convinced that they are most likely their
actual first THOUGHTS about him. There was never anything that suggested he
would be a good leader for the United States, other than he was perceived by
the Left—this includes the liberal media (news and entertainment), the liberal
intelligentsia (a mutually exclusive term in my opinion), radical labor union
leaders, the uninformed and blatant racists (both black and white). Maybe you can make an argument that you cannot
blame the uninformed too much, because
they do not have any core beliefs beyond the idea that there is a lot of grey areas
between right and wrong, that there is no real difference between ideologies
and they did not know that the president was a fraud from the very
beginning. It was convenient for the
Left that Barak is “black” and a Harvard-educated law professor, who can give a
pretty good-feeling speech if it is on prompter. He was somebody they could fully get behind. They could count on the fact that many would
want to vote for Obama, either because of “white guilt” or “black pride”. They could also count on the fact that they
could hide his inadequacies from the public by not allowing information to be assimilated
by the masses. They knew that most of the public is ignorant—this means they
are not informed, either by choice or because they have not been taught. And,
when information was brought up that would expose Obama’s true ideology and inadequacies,
they could always holler, “Racism”. It was the perfect storm, as they say.
I have also heard people say, ” I’m disappointed with Obama,
but I’m not sure Romney would have been
any better”. Really? See my comments
above! The non-reporting on Obama continued unabated and the outright lies
thrown out by Obama and his surrogates went largely unexposed by the liberal
press. We conservatives can take little comfort in the fact that Fox News dominates
the TV news outlets and Conservative Talk Radio dominates by far in its venue. The reality is that the liberal outlets and entertainment
Medias still vastly outweigh us. Network
news and prime-time entertainment rule the ignorant masses.
Let us be frank. We have had five years of a terrible
economy, with more people deciding to stop looking for work than find jobs. Black
unemployment is worse than it has ever been, especially for young blacks. Obama Care is a fiasco, making small
businesses elect to turn their workforce into part-time rather than full-time to
be able to stay in business. Even Big Labor is starting to understand the emperor
has no clothes. The idea that Romney, a tremendously successful business
executive and successful Republican governor over an extremely liberal
state, would not have been better to
preside over a free economy society, moronic at best. You might be able to make that assertion
about foreign policy, because Romney had no definitive foreign policy
experience beyond serving as a Mormon missionary in France, but his world
outlook was not tainted by the Marxist philosophies of his mother, father and
grandparents, as Barak was. Obama’s love
affair with the Muslim Brotherhood and the “Arab Spring” has been disastrous
for Libya, Egypt and Syria. Now, if you
say to me that, perhaps, McCain might not have been any better, I might agree
with you.
I have to say that, even though I knew that we were in big
trouble when Barak Obama was elected, that there was a part of me that was
proud that a mixed-race individual could be elected president of the United
States. However, I knew that it would happen someday. I just hoped it would be
a conservative, who had a serious grasp on economic, moral and world
issues. That is still my hope. I know he is pretty old and he would not
consider it, but Thomas Sowell, the brilliant conservative economist (maybe the
smartest man in America today) is always my choice.
We as a nation have
continued to dig ourselves a big hole. We argue about the most obvious things
to a logical mind. We somehow think that
there should be a minimum wage, when all it does is reduce the number of jobs
and the profitability of the companies forced to comply. Competition has always
been the obvious way of increasing profits and raising the standard of living—read
Basis Economics, by Thomas Sowell. We expect to reduce illegal immigration by stifling
legal immigration. We allow stupid things like tenure, organized labor in the
government sector, life-long elected officials, legislation from the bench and an
entitlement mentality to exist in our society. We thought by electing a man
with “black” ancestry we would generate a less racist atmosphere. The opposite
has been the case. Almost everything—I am being generous when I say “almost”—that
happens involving peoples of differing racial backgrounds is suspected of
racism and deserve presidential comment, except those that are blatantly black-on-white-with-admitted-racist-intent
crimes. So much for Reverend Kings color blind society where people would be
judged for the content of their character. The hole keeps getting deeper and
wider!
We say we aspire to be a freedom loving nation, but we tend
to work at giving more and more of our freedoms up to an ever-growing behemoth of
a federal government; a government which, if you believe polling, ever fewer of
us trust. Our Constitution, with the original bill of rights and amendments is
not a living thing that can be twisted and manipulated to make it what special
interests want to be. It was put in place by our brilliant forefathers to
protect the people from an oppressive government. If things come up that the
designers of the Constitution could not foresee, which might restrict the
rights of the people, the mechanism is there to make amendments to it, to
better protect those rights. It was not meant to be particularly easy for the
reason that humans can be fickle and may choose to be strictly a majority-rules-society
or adopt a government by dictate. The
President, a supposed constitutional law professor, and his supporters in Congress and the Supreme
Court do not seem to grasp this notion. Extra-constitutional laws and
regulations are killing us. You can read
just about anything Marc Levin to get a better appreciation for the intent and
value of our Constitution.
The bottom line is that we are not better off than we were.
And I doubt that we are going to be any better off for the next three years.
Obama’s presidency is a failure on all fronts, but he is doing exactly what he said he would do. He just thought he was smarter than he actually is. But, that is the case with most progressives. I hope we will have a majority
in the next elections who take the time to read and study about the candidates
and issues. We need to get away from the "reality' TV shows and the fluff media long enough to educate ourselves. And, do not turn to the university educators for "reality" either. Those folks mostly live in the fantasy worlds of socialism and progressive Utopian nonsense. Educators have worked hard through tenured systems and teachers' unions to eliminate arguments from any opposition. Sometimes it is hard to break with conventions and tradition. If
you have grown up with ideas about politics and philosophy that dictate your
vote, I only ask that you think about it first. If you read the same old stuff and listen to the same old people without a different frame of reference, your view, no matter how you might actually evaluate them with logic if given a reasonable opportunity, will probably go unchallenged. It might also be worth praying
about, unless you have been convinced by the liberal Left—mostly democrats ,
these days—that God has no place in politics. Think about that!
