The Obama Passover

This week, I stumbled across a very thought-provoking headline entitled, “Poll: George W. Bush Still Gets Blamed for Economic Woes, and what is even more interesting is that I believe this story links wholeheartedly with this story regarding Obama’s personal approval rating.

Excerpt from the story entitled, “Solving the Problem Posed by President Obama’s High Personal Approval Rating”:

Because the liberal media establishment has supported instead of scrutinized him. The liberal media successfully concealed the truth about Obama’s personal history, including his long relationship with the ACORN “family,” and the “Pimp and Pro” ACORN sting allowed Obama to distance himself from ACORN itself (but not the ACORN agenda) in the public perception.

And yet it doesn’t stop there. It is blatantly obvious that too many people in America believe what they are told to believe, rather than see with their own eyes what’s real and what isn’t. If people would simply observe their surroundings, George W. Bush could never be blamed for the current economic crisis, and Obama would never enjoy the high personal approval rating he enjoys regardless of what he has done and what has happened in light of all the rampant corruption, intimidation lodged towards dissenters, and actions used to cause problems to justify even more federal control over a specific crisis. The reason why Obama has a high personal approval rating, and why George W. Bush is still being blamed is part of the “cult of personality” campaign that they launched in 2008 to promote and sell Obama to the public. In fact, it may interest you to know that the very tactics used to raise Obama to power, are the very same ones they used to help raise Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and Francisco Franco.

A cult of personality is where the major influences within mass communications collectively gather together, to create an image, an image that exalts a desired individual, and idealistically markets and portrays that individual as a hero, a healer, and a messianic savior. In fact, it is worthy to note how every individual exalted via the “cult of personality” tactical campaign, were determined to apply the ideas of Karl Marx, the father of the Communist/Socialist movement. In fact, it is very interesting and very telling that Obama administration official and avowed communist Anita Dunn explained at a conference in the Dominican Republic hosted by the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development, how to turn an unknown, and in Obama’s case, inexperienced politician into a Messiah. And it didn’t just stop there. When President George W. Bush was in power, the very same media that exalted Barack Obama, was the very same media trying to destroy George W. Bush. In fact, it’s interesting. When George W. Bush took office, he inherited a recession. In 2001 and 2003, he and the Republican Congress cut taxes even more than what was cut in previous years, and the economy rebounded, and expanded. After all, George W. Bush’s philosophy was simply and-i-quote, “you can spend your money better than the government can spend your money.” And so, George W. Bush and the Republicans simply allowed taxpayers to have more of what they earned, and that resulted in 52 months of consecutive, uninterrupted economic growth, and drove the unemployment rate down to 4.4%. Bush’s detractors went insane. People were doing good on their own due to George W. Bush and the Republicans economic policies. In fact the people were doing too good, and so the Democrats saw a political threat to that. And so, they did what they always do. They tried to distract people from focusing on how good they had it, and then tried to focus people’s attention aggressively towards Iraq, the “culture of corruption,” and Republican lobbying and spending (basically, the Republicans acting like Democrats).

The media took a page (or two) out of Adolf Hitler’s book Mein Kampf… literally.

"But the most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly and with unflagging attention. It must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over." -- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, p. 184

And that is exactly what they did. Since the Democrats looked insane when they tried to talk against the Bush economy (as did Nancy Pelosi when she compared 4.4% unemployment to the “Great Depresssion,”), they mostly attacked Iraq. No matter what outlet you listened to, you would always get an ear-full regarding the death toll of U.S. soldiers concerning Iraq. Some days, they would report the death toll and repeat the same death toll the next day, or if someone else died since the last report was reported, then they would add the numbers of soldiers who died to yesterdays figures so that it would give the impression that let’s say, 24 MORE died today, as opposed to saying 6 more soldiers died today in addition to the 18 that died yesterday.

"The purpose of propaganda is not to provide interesting distraction for blasé young gentlemen, but to convince… the masses. But the masses are slow moving, and they always require a certain time before they are ready even to notice a thing, and only after the simplest ideas are repeated thousands of times will the masses finally remember them." -- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, p. 185 Quotes from Mein Kampf, trans. by Ralph Manheim, (Cambridge, Mass.: The Riverside Press, 1962)..

This was why the anti-Bush sentiment had the momentum it had, and why the Obama sentiment had, and in some area still has what it has. The media created a hero and a villain, and John McCain in 2008 was, according to the Democrats’ “Bush’s Third Term,” so in the end, there was this mythological epic of which people believed to have a part in. This was exactly what they did and why people hated Bush. In fact, it’s interesting. Whenever I debate people about Bush’s presidency, they only repeat what has been repeatedly told to them. Since I go outside the box and look at the substance, I always get a quiet response because too many people are completely ignorant about how the government really works, and which parties do or believe what. They only believe what the media tells them to believe.

Now where people should chastise Bush (i.e. illegal immigration, excessive govt. spending, the $700 billion bailout, and this nonsensical two-state idea in Israel), they don’t because the things he did wrong, the Democrats supported him, and continue to champion to this day.

In people’s excessive love for Obama and hatred for Bush, comes a missing element. Truth, and truth defeats idealistic and mythological images and brings everything back down to earth the way it really, truly is. Because Bush is seen as the “bad guy,” they are blaming him when the economic policies of the Democrat Party is what turned Bush’s 4.4% unemployment rate into 7.6%, and turned Obama’s 7.6% into (if we use the numbers that they give us, and not go any further) 9.6%. Democrat political policies always SUBTRACT—THAT MEANS TAKE AWAY!!!, and we need to state this obvious point because what is obviously clear is not being taken to heart the way it should.

If people hate someone, due to someone else, it is because that someone else installed in the people’s subconscious, biases and prejudices regarding the personality, party, or driving force (faith, philosophy, ideology) that leads the person marketed as undesirable to make the decisions that they make. Yet on the flip side, loving that personality despite of all the disastrous harm they inflicted on the country is done due to suppressing, hiding, ridiculing, or demonizing any truths, or truth-tellers that reveal the personality cult that they are selling in light of the truth. Yet, the truth remains the truth.

The real reason for the economic downturn is because Obama’s policies keep subtracting from the private sector (the source of all income for a sovereign nation), and keeps paying off those (adding to the debt) who are in the private sector (hence why we had 2 economic stimulus bills doing the same thing, and another on the horizon), and the benefits of those unemployed due to the damaging policies him and his anti-business party actively in power inflicted on the private sector. Yet the things he’s doing, the taxes he’s inflicting on businesses, the enforcement of frivolous regulations (for the purpose of intentionally inflicting large fines should they not be honored) is not being covered at all by the media. So in their ignorance, the masses who love him have no idea where to look, and what to look for, let alone know what the parties really and truly stand for, so they’re left in the dark, only retaining the “information” told to them by the media, so Obama can later pick that ignorance up to his advantage and exploit it later on for him and his party’s political advantage. In other words, people who are in a state of ignorance, and/or are in love with the personality of Obama keeps passing over everything that he is doing, and attributing the consequences of his actions back to his predecessor which they already hate. That is the essence of the Obama Passover. In ignorance, get people to see what those pushing him want them to see, and in that, ignore the damage he’s inflicting on this country’s economy by doing what he’s doing.

It is really a no brainer when you know the basic functions of how the government, business, and the economy, works in this country, yet those in the activist media who are actively pushing for what Obama is selling are trying to keep you ignorant so that you are totally unaware of the basic solutions that have always fixed the problem. Lower taxes coupled with lower spending, and less government. It always works, and has never failed. The way the Democrats are doing it leads to more power and control by the Federal Government, meaning less freedoms for you, and the real solutions lead to more control and responsibility by you, and less power by the federal government. And yet, as the media collectively exploits the LOVE Democrats, and HATE Republicans part of the cult of personality, one can only imagine what they have in store come 2011 and 2012, should the Republicans get control of Congress and Obama runs for re-election in 2012. No doubt, it will be epic.

Why do no pundits, conservatives included, fail to point out that the dems controlled the legislative branch starting Jan ‘07 - 20 mos before the crash. If they didn’t like some - any - Bush policy they had complete control and could pass anything they wanted. Reps were powerless to stop them.

What Bush policy caused the crash, and why didn’t the dems do something about it? We all know the answer. But why isn’t the question posed to BHO?

When DemonRATS malign Republicans as wanting to take us back to where we were in 2001 with unpaid for tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, they are trying to keep Americans in economic Fantasy Island. To do this they use the tactic of class warfare where the rich are denigrated as keeping money out of the hands of the have nots. Such hackneyed politics is toxic to our economy.

Since the DemonRATs took Congress and the Senate in November, 2006, their dogmatic Keynesian redistributionist economics has worked to destroy the U.S. economy. By Sept. 15, 2008 Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy and the collapse was under way. The DemonRATs used the collapse to blame the Bush Administration, the Republicans and to win the White House.

The blame of the Bush Administration continues as the economy goes deeper into failure. Our national growth rate has sunk from 2.9% to 1.6%. All the while the blame game has become a get out of jail free card as the economic crisis continues with no end in sight. When the DemonRATs took over, the national debt was 1.8% of the Gross Domestic Product. Now it is 10%. Unemployment was 4.7%. Now it is 9.6%.

All the while, the DemonRATs ignore the fact that when you reduce taxes, businesses create new wealth, more people are
employed and tax revenue increases. Their answer is more taxation, which drains the available money out of people’s hands into the government’s. When money is taken away from the individual it destroys the incentive to create new wealth. Excessive taxation kills the ability to create new wealth and new jobs. Also, when government spends more and borrows more to pay for its deficits, less money is in people’s hands to create economic growth.

One also has to look at the government regulatory impact on the market system. This component alone has done more damage to the U.S. economy than any other factor. The owner of a business finds themselves trapped in a web of hostile government regulations that change unpredictably without regard to the consequence to those who must obey them.

... and they know they’re doing it too. Years ago, I used to think they were just stupid. It’s worse than that. They are evil, and they have an organized answer for everything.

When the economy is good because of tax cuts, they say that the tax cuts are going to “the rich,” and focus their rhetoric on “the poor.”

When the economy is poor due to their “confiscatory” policies (alwyas resorting to SUBTRACTION), they make excuses, spend more, and get us into even more debt. Yet, this is done to give more power to the international banking unit.

They want a one-world communist state, and these are measures used to make that one-world communist state a reality.
