"I am not an Ideologue"
That was the statement made by the Obamasiah to GOP members last week. Definition of an ideologue: an unrealistic, impractical zealous advocate of a particular ideology. So which part doesn't fit? He is a zealous advocate of a particular ideology (Socialism), which is unrealistic and impractical. He is also an arrogant nihilist which makes him the zealous advocate. It isn't just the impractical part, but his practices fall back to the 'whatever works", "any means necessary", "end justifies the means", "moral relativism" part. Impediments to his goals are only impediments. The will of the people be damned, the goal remains.
If Communism and Socialism, the life he wants for this Nation are so much greater a way of life than Capitalism, then why in the world has the United States of America been the leader of the free world for two hundred and thirty years and not Russia, East Germany, China, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, et al??? The simple answer (denied, of course by the MSM and the Socialist Progressive Dems) is that Socialism doesn't work well.
"Compare his 2010 State of the Union to his first address to Congress a year earlier. The consistency is remarkable. In 2009, after passing a $787 billion (now $862 billion) stimulus package, the largest spending bill in galactic history, he unveiled a manifesto for fundamentally restructuring the commanding heights of American society -- health care, education and energy.
A year later, after stunning Democratic setbacks in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts, Obama gave a stay-the-course State of the Union address (a) pledging not to walk away from health care reform, (b) seeking to turn college education increasingly into a federal entitlement, and (c) asking again for cap-and-trade energy legislation. Plus, of course, another stimulus package, this time renamed a "jobs bill." Dr. Charles Krauthamer
Thank God we are a Republic rather than pure democracy. Don't the Democrats see that clinging to this agenda will march them over a cliff? Don't they understand Massachusetts? Actually, NO! Dems can only see it through prisms of two cherished axioms: (1) The people are stupid and (2) Republicans are bad. Result? The Dem, led by the malicious, vote Socialistically. Damn the People, full speed ahead!
It is at times of crises that constitutional rights count the most. American residents should take whatever actions are necessary to remove those who believe they have the grandiose privilege to "suspend" rights at will. Rights that can be suspended by petty despots are NOT rights. They are the mere favors of some local civil servant; Socialism anyone!
Liberal disdain for the normal intelligence and emotional maturity of the electorate are simply explained. They believe we are "a nation of dodos" "too dumb to thrive."
Obama opined in his State of the Union address (with supercilious modesty) while chiding himself "for not explaining it (health care) more clearly to the American people." that the subject was "complex." The subject, it might also be noted, was one to which this master of complexity had devoted 29 speeches. Perhaps he just did not speak slowly enough.
Of course, there are the emotional deficiencies of the masses. The Dem apologists lamented the people's anger and anxiety described as free-floating agitation preventing them from appreciating the beneficence of the social agenda the Dem Socialist Progressives are determined to foist upon them.
A very large part of the liberal conceit (and self deceit) is that Liberals always act in the public interest, while conservatives think only of power, elections, self-aggrandizement and self-interest. It is an old liberal theme that conservative ideas cannot possibly emerge from any notion of the public good.
This belief in the moral hollowness of conservatism animates current liberal mantra that Republican opposition to Obama's social democratic agenda -- which couldn't get through even a Democratic controlled Congress and powered major Democratic losses in New Jersey, Virginia and Massachusetts -- is nothing but blind and cynical obstructionism.
By contrast, the MSM Sycophants continually say Democratic opposition to George W. Bush -- from Iraq to Social Security reform -- constituted mere dissent. We were told at the time, including by candidate Obama, that "Dissent" is "one of the truest expressions of patriotism." though today, dissent from the governing orthodoxy is mere nihilistic malice.
"They made a decision," explained David Axelrod, "they were going to sit it out and hope that we failed, that the country failed" -- a perfect expression of liberals' conviction that their aspirations are necessarily the country's, that their idea of the public good is the public's, that their failure is therefore the nation's, regardless of reality.
Recall these quotes? Richard Nixon--> I am NOT a crook! (But he was a FOOL whose deep insecurity led him to blow it when he routed the Left anyway!)
...Jimma' Carter-- I will never lie to the American people. (Really, still widely held by both the left and right to be the single worst President of the 20th Century, simply incompetent.)
...Slick Willie Clinton--> I did NOT have sexual relations with that woman! (BJ's do not count, y'all! Nor lying to Grand Juries, either! The only ocst was his law license.)
...Pretty Boy John Edwards--> that cannot be my child! (Until the DNA has been checked, anyway!)
...The ObaMesiah: "I am not a leftist ideologue" (though he was THE most liberal voter among all 100 senators. ..."I believe in fiscal responsibility" (what deficit!?) ..."we will return openness and bipartisanship to guvment and disallow lobbyists" (like Tom Daschel? like Geithner or the more than 40 other former lobbyists working for his administration?) ..."we will actually save money via ObamaCare w/o penalizing seniors, and it will NOT cover ILLEGAL aliens." (If only the electorate really was illiterate!)
...George Bush Senior--> Read my lips-- NO NEW TAXES! (Bye, Bye now.)
...George Bush the Lesser--> We KNOW that Iraq has WMD's and was behind the 9/11 attack. (And we are still looking.)
Most Americans do not follow politics nor do we have a good idea of the hidden deals that our "conservative representatives" make on our behalf.
Our country has been sliding more left with each election. Factually, Obama's only problem has been haste. He could have easily accomplished all he wanted if he'd simply taken his time and merely kept adding to existing programs. Republicans would have grumbled but they rarely have challenge governmental over reach with the required question, "Where is that in the Constitution?"
If Repubs had used that simple question starting 70 years ago and found ways to teach Americans about the Constitution and how it is the only protection we have against governmental tyranny we would not be in the mess we are in today. Simply put we have a mess because both Dems and Repubs want it that way. Now enter the Tea Party movement.
If a peasant revolt (the Tea Party) is underway then it must cut clean to the bone. Run all the incumbent dead beats out of office and send mere ordinary people to DC. If the peasants are merely revolting because government seems a bit stingy now-a-days then we are finished as a nation. The 2010 elections will be prophetic, either be the last paragraph in the history of a once great nation or the beginning paragraph of new chapter entitled "The New American Revolution". Pray for our Nation. Never again vote for an incumbent.
By the way, some statistics released by the Obama Administration on the Election of 2008 indicate there were 169 million registered voters.
...86 million were registered as Democrats,
...55 million were registered as Republicans,
...28 million were registered as Independents.
The FEC reported that 56.8% of all registered voters voted. That could have been 96,992,000 actual votes cast by registered voters who voted once. But the total number of ballots in the ballot boxes totaled 132,618,580. Perhaps the dead, convicted felons, and illegal immigrants can vote afterall. Whoknew?
