AMERICAN UNITY UNDER ECONOMIC SERVITUDE & POLITICAL TYRANNY: PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
SEEKING UNITY OF THE AMERICAN NATION UNDER A MAJORITARIAN DICTATORSHIP LED BY A RUTHLESS CLIQUE OF
LIBERAL LEFTIST DEMOCRATS DETERMINED TO RAMROD THROUGH CONGRESS, THE FEDERAL BUDGETARY PROCESS, &
THE U.S. REGULATORY AGENCIES A RADICALLY REDISTRIBUTIONIST, THOROUGHLY COLLECTIVIST, & COURTERCULTURAL
PUBLIC POLICY AGENDA & TO MARGINALIZE & EVENTUALLY SILENCE THE POLITICAL OPPOSITION -- STATISM, THAT IS,
CENTRAL CONTROL & DIRECTION OF THE ECONOMY BY THE U.S. GOVERNMENT -- ABSOLUTE DEMOCRACY, RATHER THAN

FULL STORY:
In the midst of all the current turmoil, it is worthwhile to recall the
fetid episode involving former Clinton National Security Advisor Sandy
Berger, who in the Fall of 2003 was caught stealing documents from the
National Archives, which he later destroyed. The timing of Berger’s action
was thoroughly telling, occurring at the outset of congressional hearings on
the Islamist terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
The U.S. Department of Justice conducted its tepid investigation, and endeavored
to whitewash the whole incident, no doubt in deference to George Bush’s “new
tone.” Nevertheless, as a result of the few facts that did emerge, the only
plausible conclusion was that Berger was attempting to obliterate historical
evidence of the numerous failings of the Clinton administration, and its
ultimate culpability in leaving America vulnerable to the predations of
Islamic terrorists.
Nevertheless, though the incriminating specifics of Clinton malfeasance may
have been successfully eradicated by Berger’s actions, the entire Clinton
Presidency was an inescapable indictment of the dangers reaped from national
leadership bent on a Liberal Leftist agenda, instead of responsibly serving the
country. Clinton’s terms in office were an ongoing succession of foolhardy
ventures, ultimately subordinating the well being of the nation to the
lunacy of his “politically correct” staff.
From the misdirection of government agencies, such as the FBI and IRS, to
assail political enemies, to the deliberate compromise of vital security
protocol in exchange for dubious campaign donations from the Communist
Chinese, to the repeated fumbling of evidence that Islamic terrorist
operations clearly pointed to a burgeoning threat, the Clinton agenda placed
the advancement of Leftwing Liberalism as its primary goal, while presuming such
ineptitude could continue indefinitely with no negative consequences.
Eventually, America paid an enormous price in blood for the games Bill Clinton
and his enablers played with matters of national security. Yet, neither
Clinton, nor any of his high-level minions, including Berger, were ever held
properly accountable for the damage they inflicted on this country. Thus, it
could be assured that, whenever a like-minded administration came into power,
the abhorrent pattern would be continued.
It would be bad enough if the abominable “Rightwing Extremism” report,
released recently by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, were evidence of
only that. But the truth is far worse. Homeland Security Secretary Janet
Napolitano, in concert with Barack Hussein Obama, is laying the groundwork for a far
grander and more sinister plan, which, if suggested only a few years ago,
would have been instantly consigned to the realm of paranoid conspiracies.
Such transparent deflections notwithstanding, the evidence is far too
extensive to allow for deniability. This is the menacing reality of the
Obama White House.
Obama has made claims of wanting to “unify” the nation. Yet, few have
properly grasped the actual intention, and thus the enormous danger posed by
his goal. Unlike great former Presidents, such as Ronald Wilson Reagan, who sought
to bring the nation together by uplifting and inspiring, Obama seeks to
ramrod his thoroughly Leftist and countercultural agenda, while
marginalizing and eventually silencing any opposition. Herein lies the
“unity” under a tyranny.
That this “report” was conceived as a weapon to advance a Marxist political
agenda is undeniable. The Obama/Napolitano cabal clearly crafted it for just
that purpose. Contrary to their feeble attempts at defending the document,
political Conservatism is treated in a wholly different manner than any
actions emanating from the political Left. From its opening statement, the Homeland
Security report yields glaring evidence of such.
Among other weak efforts to minimize its significance, high officials have
pointed out that a “similar” document exists, which offers a seemingly
comparable admonition of threats from Leftwing extremists. Yet, right from
the introductory paragraphs of each document, the stark contrast in their
perception and characterization of the groups in question becomes readily
apparent.
For example, in the analysis directed at “Leftwing extremists,” those of
concern are clearly described as subgroups of animal rights, environmentalist,
and anarchist movements -- subgroups “that promote or have conducted criminal or
terrorist activities.” Yet, Rightwing organizations are painted with an
all-encompassing brush. No supporting evidence is sought or offered.
Instead, seditious behavior is presumed as a result of ostensibly violent
adverse reactions to everything from the current economic situation, to the
anti-life, anti-Christian predisposition of the Democrats, to Obama’s race
(of course).
In short, any governmental scrutiny of Leftwing extremists studiously
adheres to the concept of “innocent until proven guilty,” while the
examination of Conservative America is flagrantly couched in the Liberal
mindset that those on the Right are, by definition, “guilty until proven
innocent.” Sadly, this situation has been allowed to ensue for so long that
even now, rather than simply confronting the atrocious nature of this DHS
“analysis,” many Conservatives feel a need to simply defend themselves on
terms dictated almost entirely by the Left.
Thus does Obama, abetted by Napolitano, plan to tighten the noose around
real America. Those who believe in the Constitution, the Second Amendment,
or even the biologically undeniable reality of the humanity of the unborn
now represent a “radicalizing” element within which this government finds a
threat.
Barack Obama, who genuflects to a Saudi king and grovels before third world
tinhorn Communist dictators as they verbally assail and castigate the
greatness of this country, sees his real enemy in the people of the
heartland. He denies every worthy vestige of the nation’s history in the
presence of foreign leaders who disdain its very existence, striving to gain
their approval by sacrificing the former standing of his country.
Likewise, on a short leash that Obama obviously holds, his Homeland Security
Secretary is busy looking out for the “rights” and “dignity” of illegal
aliens, while categorizing the good people of this country as would-be
terrorists, and downplaying the ever-encroaching and real threat of more
attacks from the Islamists. Neither of them, nor any high-level official of
this administration, has produced a single shred of proof that they are
vigilant of the real dangers that loom.
Like Russian roulette, this is a game that cannot be played indefinitely.
America’s enemies, including those who now backslap the egotistically
blinded Obama, will seize their opportunities presented by his myopic
governing philosophy. But even that danger is secondary to the threat posed
by a government that regards as hostile, imminently dangerous, and thus in
need of suppression the free and open expressions of sincere disagreement
from its honorable and impassioned citizens.
