Obama has not lost my trust because he has never failed to fulfill every expectation I, and many other FReepers, held concerning the kind of man Barack really is.
We here on FreeRepublic knew that he was a full-blooded Marxist, a man with deep and sympathetic ties to the Muslim world, a man who detested America as it was legally and traditionally constituted, a man who despised much of the American Constitution, a man with associations which were worse than dubious. We feared that he would terribly damage the American economy, that he would exploit the "great recession" to impose his brand of Marxism on America disguised as "transformation."
Not a single one of these characteristics has been contradicted.
What has disappointed but not greatly surprised is a generalized tendency among the media to fail to characterize Obama for what he is: a radical Marxist. What has especially disappointed and to some degree surprised is a particularized tendency among Republican politicians including both John McCain and Mitt Romney to attack Barack Obama for the radical Marxist that he is.
Obama has done nothing prior to his election to earn our trust. His biography, his Marxist even communist associations, his writings, his public comments, his employment history, his decades long affiliation with Reverend Wright, his intimate association with American terrorists, his roots in Islam, his attachment to corruption in Chicago, his corrupt ascent to power by discrediting his opponents, all told us and should have told a world not blinded by reverse racism that this was a man unfit for the highest office in the world.
His actions in office since his inauguration with only a couple of exceptions are completely consistent with the description of his character outlined above. His tyrannical extension of executive power is consistent with his disdain for the Constitution. His exploitation of race is consistent with communist dogma. His shameless cronyism is consistent with this pattern of every communist ruler known to history. His distortion of government to reward his friends and punish his enemies, for example with the IRS, is typical of communists. Obamacare is a classic example of a tyrannical penetration of the whole of society in the name of the greater good that one sees in totalitarian communist regimes.
The list can go on and on. What is disappointing is the timidity of Republicans to call a communist a communist.
Perhaps our trust in the Republicans is what is being lost.
