Note Owl II: What happened to the American dream?
The Comedian: It came true! You're looking at it.
-- "Watchmen"

Too much material greed, not enough spiritual hunger or morality.

To liberals, the American Dream is not about what you can do for yourself, but what government can do for you. And they’re completely oblivious to the fact that the more government is able to give you, the less you actually get. It has always been this way, but they’re not exactly students of history.

This book tells the story quite well.

768 pages of soul-crushing analysis.

Corrupt, greedy, incompetent and self-serving politicians along with the help of uninformed voters killed the American dream.

not to have it provided by a benign, all-knowing and increasingly powerful Government

Government is NOT benign. It is a malignant force that seeks control of every aspect of your life. It fears only a well informed, well armed populace.

” - - - the oligarchs have no use for the commoner and will not give a damn about them. They will use their robots and drones to maintain their dominance. - - - “

Hmmmmm - - - - - ?

This COULD be a valid description of Obamanation, but just what is an “oligarch?”

Webster puts it this way: “ ol-i-garch, n. any of the rulers of an oligarchy.”

Not much help there!

Webster, again: “ol-i-garch-y, n. 1. a form of government in which the ruling power belongs to a few persons. “

Okey-dokey, now take the good old USA with its “of the people, by the people and for the people” type of government - - - - ?

Hmmmmmm - - -? :

* Ruler # 1 is Soetoro-Obama, CIC of Obamadrones;
* Ruler # 2 is Reid, gatekeeper of the US Senate;
* Ruler # 3 is Roberts, rubber stamp Judge for Rulers # 1 and 2; and
* Ruler # 4 is Boehner, loyal House doormat to Rulers # 1, 2 and 3.

Hmmmmm- - - - ? I guess it all depends on what one’s definition of the word “few” is - - - - .

FORWARD !

[BTW, have you ever noticed that the Obamanation command “FORWARD !” ALWAYS is toward the Financial Cliff?]

The American dream: working hard and achieving great things(available to every US citizen), has been replaced by the Powerball lottery ticket (chances are 1 in approx 171 million).

Our culture has been lost to the indifference to discrimination.

Our culture believes it is wrong to discriminate.

EVERYTHING, and I mean EVERYTHING.

Art: The “piss Christ” etc..

Music: Violent rap..etc..

Language: Bad English, Ebonics, foul language, etc...

Politics: You’re a racist if you disagree, etc etc ...

There is soo much more and it runs the depth and breadth of every interaction you will have.

The only position that is “unacceptable” is the one that finds “their” positions unacceptable.

Their position is one that “Embraces Uncertainty” and it is their foundation. If you proclaim certainty on virtually any issue, you are not only judgmental, you are a closed minded, racist, homophobic, misogynist, xenophobic, “Christian”, uncultured mouth breathing troglodyte.

Immune to their own hypocrisy and the logical failures of their foundations (that’s not important right now), they push and demand the “right” to be stupid.

They are “certain” about their foundations of “uncertainty”. Never mind the contradiction.

“That’s not important, right now”

These concepts of relativism have planted their roots in our educational system and have latched onto the discoveries in “Modern Physics”.

The only thing they fear is “certainty”.

For what it’s worth.

And this is an example of what is being taught in our schools.

No Science, No Logic and No Morality: Atheism.

note: I have watched this a dozen or more times and as recently as three days ago. But today, when I try to watch and listen, the audio is gone. It seems that all the audio of his street apologetics at the “reason rally” are gone.

This is strange.

Conservatives need to proclaim a positive vision of The American Dream.

Explain American Exceptionalism in tangible ways.

Proudly and passionately speak the simple truth about Liberty and Individuality.

The Left only has Fear and Negativity.
