Truth be told, no matter how much we rant and rave about Obama, the real problem is that we have a huge chunk of our population that voted him in because he would do all the work and prevent us from having to do anything.
That is control, toxic control. It’s no different than a foolish woman who wants a man to make a living so she can enjoy the fruits of his labor, without realizing that if something happens to the man (like he dies or runs off with his secretary), she is without the ability to survive.
A Republican president requires the population to do the majority of their own work, like having a wife that is a real partner. A wife worthy of the name handles her own life and integrates it into that of her husband. She does not want her husband burdened with making all the choices, big and small.
So realistically, we’ve become a nation of trophy wives. It’s no wonder we’re reaching an expiration date and beginning to fail on the world stage.
Until attitudes change and we stop coddling dysfunctional elements, we’re going to remain in decline and maybe stay at the bottom. As long as we remain determined to make someone take care of us, the world will treat us like a concubine. We get a comfortable life with no work, but we will not get respect and will never be able to direct our own future.
I’m still in mild shock at how bad I misread the 2012 election. I could not understand how any rational voter could re-elect him. The conclusion is that the majority of voters are not rational.
