DID AMERICA REALLY WANT THIS?

THE OBAMA PRESIDENCY: THREAT TO THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC & ITS FOUNDING PRINCIPLES -- PRESIDENT OBAMA
AS A RADICAL & RUTHLESS LEFTWING DEMAGOGUE WHO HOLDS IN CONTEMPT AMERICA'S FOUNDING PRINCIPLES,
INCLUDING THE ENTIRE CONCEPTS OF LIMITED GOVERNMENT, FEDERALISM, CHECKS & BALANCES, INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY, &
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION -- THE DELIBERATE, MALIGNANT, & SUBVERSIVE ACTIONS OF THE LEFTWING JUGGERNAUT THAT
HAS BEEN UNLEASHED AGAINST THE AMERICAN NATION -- THE GRAVE DAMAGE THAT IS BEING DONE BY THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION, NOT ONLY TO THE AMERICAN NATIONAL FABRIC, BUT ALSO TO THE DELICATE STRUCTURE OF
INTERNATIONAL POLITICS
FULL STORY:
Throughout most of the two hundred and thirty three years since that first
Independence Day, a significant number of Americans have indulged in the
luxury of ignoring the entire political scene, caring not whether the
particular administration in power leans Left or Right. This was mainly due
to the forethought of the Founders, who, in their wisdom, established binding
limits on the actions of government through the Constitution. Therefore,
regardless of who held the reins of power, deviations in the direction of
the country would probably remain within safe perameters.
Unfortunately, this relative safety inherent in American life eventually led
to ignorance and complacency, which made it inevitable that eventually a
leader would emerge who held the nation’s founding principles, along with
the entire concept of limited government, in total contempt. If one were to
ignore the lies and fraud perpetrated by the Obama administration over the
past year, and only consider the evidence of this past week, it would still
be impossible to escape the conclusion that Barack Obama hates everything
good about America, its former standing in the world, and the ideals of
morality and freedom for which it once stood.
His propaganda arm, known as the “mainstream media,” can chant its
platitudinous accolades with all the shrillness it can muster. Yet, the
reality remains. The policy decisions of Barack Obama are in complete
harmony with the bile and venom of the anti-American Left, and his sinister
intentions for the country are increasingly being brought to bear, with no
quarter given to his opposition.
Was this what the country rallied to last November? Did average Americans
really want to see their great engines of freedom and capitalism swallowed
up by the leviathan known as the U.S. central government, or their daily excursions and exchanges brought
under the dispassionate scrutiny of the central government?
While many voters on the political Right and many at or near the political
Center were understandably fed up with
the lackluster campaign of Senator John McCain, and his willingness to
accept far too much of the Democratic Party Liberal Leftist political philosophy, it is absurd to
contend that the nation had intentionally lurched so far to the Left that it
knowingly embraced the Radicalism and Socialism of the Obama machine. Yet, such is the
Leftwing Liberal monster that has since been unleashed. Its actions are deliberate
and malignant. And, in every area that it intrudes, grave damage is done, not
only to the American national fabric, but also to the delicate structure of
international politics.
Within only the last few days, a crushing tax bill, offered under the
discredited premise of “saving the environment,” has passed its initial vote
in the U.S. House of Representatives. If enacted, it would devastate manufacturing and business
enterprises across America. It would ensure a mad dash of otherwise viable
corporations to offshore locations. And it would drive the price of new
homes off the charts, sending that market into an abyss.
Yet, Obama, exuding all of the allure of a snake charmer, stands in front of
the cameras and extols the House vote as a great boon to the people of the
country. Meanwhile, global temperatures will take their cue not from the
exorbitant levels of taxation intended to crush a once-great people, but
from the activity of the sun, just as it has been throughout history.
Meanwhile, a credible report from the Environmental Protection Agency,
disputing the whole concept of man-made global warming, is suppressed. Hard
evidence is systematically censored, if it does not advance the interests of
the Liberal centralized state.
Nevertheless, even an onerous tax, built on this obvious hoax, could be
rescinded with relative ease, if the nation awakens from its stupor,
recognizes the fraud that has been foisted on it, and cleans house inside
the Beltway. But, among other nations of the world, such mindless damage as
is being projected from Washington, D.C., may take decades to correct, if ever.
Iran is a striking, and increasingly tragic, example of just this. It was
through the inane and unfounded arrogance of Jimmy Carter, the interminably
lame-duck President from 1977 to 1981, that Iran morphed into its current
malignant condition. After thirty years of being a menace to every civilized
nation, its downtrodden people have attempted to raise themselves against
the flagrant tyranny under which they suffered for so long. In response,
Obama’s America offered callous indifference, inarguably giving a green
light to Iran’s murderous Ayatollahs, who have since used brute force to
crush the popular uprising.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the ruling madman, remains in power with Obama’s help.
The despotism continues, and the entirety of Western Civilization, exhibits
complete impotence in response. Clearly, Obama regards Ahmadinejad and his
fellow Islamists as kindred. Yet the picture gets worse still.
In Honduras, the people rejected the obsessive ambitions of their President,
Manuel Zelaya, who had hoped to establish himself as an unaccountable
autocrat for life. So, they ousted the wayward leader and installed a
successor who promises to return the government to its constitutional
operation. Joining such noted luminaries of liberty and justice as Fidel
Castro, Daniel Ortega and Hugo Chavez, Barack Obama has condemned this
popular uprising of the people. Unlike his response to Iran, he has no
problem interfering in this situation in an effort to restore the Marxist
Zelaya as that nation’s uncontested ruler.
On the other hand, it is necessary to consider the magnitude of what is
being accomplished in Honduras. A tinhorn Marxist dictator is being thrown
out, and a nation is restoring the primacy of its constitution, thus
reclaiming the right to determine its future. It is wholly understandable
why Chavez, Castro, and even Obama would recoil at the ramifications of such
a prospect.
Few could have conceived that an American “leader” might ever be found in
such a mix., or that this nation could sink this far, and this fast.
Communist banana-republic thugs and Islamist kooks are embraced and
supported by the Obama administration. Huddled masses yearning to breathe free on
their own soil are ignored and oppressed. And increasingly, the laws and
institutions of the United States are remolded to enforce “right thinking”
according to those in power. This is not the America we knew.
