The Era of Contempt - One theme connects all the Obama administration scandals.
American Spectator ^ | 6.6.13 | FRANK SCHELL

Posted on 06/06/2013 10:07:03 PM PDT by neverdem

The Obama Administration has presented such an array of botched domestic and foreign policies that an observer can become disoriented. Seeing a blur of so many negative events is like watching a Jason Bourne movie, with the camera on high speed. Each alleged malfeasance or scandal is worthy in itself of deliberate scrutiny, yet as we start to examine each one, others suddenly compete for our attention. It is a dazzling tapestry of mismanagement at best. But there is one theme that connects it all: contempt...

--snip--

In a disingenuous and cynical act, Attorney General Eric Holder invited journalists to an “off the record meeting,” again evidencing contempt for openness and the principle of transparency which the Administration has piously affirmed. All this comes from an Attorney General already held in contempt by the House of Representatives for not presenting documents relating to the mismanaged Mexican Fast and Furious gun tracking operation, the first such a sanction of a Cabinet official in American history. Moreover, it has been revealed that an anti-abortion group in Iowa was directed to commit to the IRS that it would not demonstrate in front of Planned Parenthood, a crudely repressive action by the Department of Justice that seems at odds with the First Amendment...

--snip--

What we have is a matrix of contempt — contempt for the American people, or at least about half of them; contempt for the principles of transparency and stewardship; and contempt for the pursuit of truth. Let us hope the electorate will speak out and make its will known; resignations of shameless senior U.S. officials could be too much to hope for.

Who knows — we might even get to hear Jay Carney, White House Press Secretary, state that in an era of moral relativism, we must make allowances for...

An ambush is an unwitting trap for those who move into a killing zone of prepared defensive positions. It's not a prolonged attack such as a siege.

Louis XVI, Mussolini, Andronikos I Komnenos and many others never thought the “little people” would rise up and eliminate them. They were wrong.

So, like the ‘80s were the “me decade”, the Obama era will be known as the “era of contempt”. It fits.

I watch congress critters like E. Cummings react with outrage at the mushrooming budget of the IRS from 2009 and onward. The media reports of the profligate spending of EPA and the outrage that they have spent $750,000 a year of “hard earned taxpayer money” each year to warehouse brand new furniture and other “things”.

Geez... what the hell did they expect when more than $2 TRILLION Dollars were suddenly dumped into the hands of federal employees who were told to spend it. Cummings approved it didn’t he? He has been a congresscritter since 1996. Weren’t he and others a part of the Congress that has not had a budget for the last several years? Didn’t the press just sit idly by and watch the parade go by?

Aren’t the people who are reacting and making such a big deal many of the same people who voted for obastard and helped pelousy and reid push all this crap down our throats?

This is a thug, hoodlum, brutha administration with a bunch of looney white libtards helping the destruction along. This is a national disgrace.

Talk is cheap and cheap is all we will get I think.

Well said. It's not what any of them say, it's what they do. . or don't do. "Know them by their actions. . ."

At thee first Civill War a separation would have been unjustifiable because of slavery. But now there is no slavery so there is always that.

This is just wrong. There was never any attempt to track the guns in F&F. It was therefore not "mismanaged," but had purposes at deviance from the proffered intent: Arm our enemies and justify the UN Small Arms Treaty with which to disarm Americans.

It's contempt for America as an idea. They want it to die.

Ditto for Nicolae Ceausescu. He was convinced they’d never risen up either.

Problem here is, more than half of Americans would sooner see the whole works nuked to dust than bear the horror of Obamabbeing put out of power.

“Contempt fits right in with his Narcissistic Personality Disorder. So is the DEEP Narcissistic Rage that will come out when he’s cornered...”

Correct.
His Narcissistic rage leaks out even when he’s questioned. That’s why his appearances are so scripted and controlled.
Ridicule (see the twitter hashtag hilarity) is the best response to libs...next to abandonment (ignoring them).
