America's 'Transitioning'—but to What?
The Pipeline ^ | 1 Aug 2022 | Michael Walsh

Posted on 08/01/2022 8:29:39 AM PDT by Rummyfan

In case you haven't heard, the United States is currently in the process of "transitioning." For reasons of decorum, and to not upset the rubes, from what to what is never quite spelled out, but those of us who have been following the "progressive" Left for the past six decades or so have a pretty clear idea of what they mean. It was first brazenly articulated by candidate Barack Obama in a campaign appearance just before the 2008 presidential election when he said, "We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”

At the time, such braggadocio was largely chalked up to typical hustings rhetoric by a fresh new face eager to contrast his relative youth (Obama was 47 at the time) with the geriatric-adjacent ambulatory husk of John McCain, who was 72, You know, something akin to John F. Kennedy's line in his 1961 inaugural address about "a new generation of Americans, born in this century." JFK was born in 1917; Dwight Eisenhower, the man he was succeeding, had been born in 1890. Even though both had served during World War II (Eisenhower as Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, Kennedy as a Navy lieutenant in the Pacific), they seemed of vastly different generations. In other words, just talk...

Except, as we now know, it wasn't. Obama meant every one of those thirteen infamous words, and older folks who had lived through the 1960s knew exactly what he meant. "Change" was not simply a buzzword meant to distinguish the "new" policies of one party from the "old" policies of the other, within a context of broadly accepted governing principles and love for the nation as founded, including the primacy of the Constitution. Rather, it was a complete break from the American tradition....

Obama is what the founders put the natural born citizen clause in the Constitution to prevent.

History will view this period as the time of government-funded national psychosis.

Obviously we are in the early stages of tyranny.

“History will view this period as the time of government-funded national psychosis.”

Every election feels like we are on the verge of becoming some dystopian nightmare society. Something like “Blade Runner” but where conservatives hide out from the Society Police who hunt them down to change their sex, thus wiping them out. Yes, that sounds crazy, but think how you would have viewed a man competing against women in a women’s sport say, six or seven years ago. Right. It wouldn’t have been allowed. The societal change to allow such madness is profound. Everything else the Left is professing is similar in impact. Today, a woman lost custody for opposing her son’s “trans-ness.” Even five years ago, possibly three years ago, allowing a pre-teen, or any child to “chose another sex” would have been instantly reversed by any judge.

Here’s the thing though. This is like the Left turning up the temperature on the proverbial frog in the water. I think the Frog is just one presidential election away from jumping out, grabbing a small AR-15 and going to town on liberalism. I hope so anyway. (Obviously, it’s going to be a very small caliber ammunition. You, know...frogs...)

Indeed. A massive correction is needed. And soon.

Oh great, we’re “transitioning.” I preferred cis-America. What a foolish, frivolous people we’ve become. At least we’re terribly fashionable.

And this 3M President (mulatto-marxist-muslim) is continuing to hold to his promise to his America-/American-hating Democrat Communist Party to "fundamentally transform the United States of America."

Obama and all his Marxist/Muslim/Globalist ilk are a cancer. A virulent aggressive cancer that is contagious to all the weak-minded fidiots.

The byproduct of this insidious fundamental change is a mental disease and destruction of the social fabric. This is by design.

A lot of people have to believe that, and don't consider that it might just have been empty talk. Obama thought he was the big change himself. The crew in charge now is more serious about "fundamental change."

Obama is a naive child. He thought that he could let the beast out of its cage (limited by the boundaries of morality) and it would behave like a nice little velociraptor.

It didn't occur to him that it might develop a mind of its own and, like Dr. Frankenstein's monster, run amok in the countryside.

He thought that he could introduce into our society his postmodern ideas of free stuff (i.e., communism), reality is what you want it to be, sexual decadence/deviancy for everyone, etc. and the country would turn to him and his ilk for their leadership.

Sorry Barky, you let the monster loose. And now he refuses to go into your cage.

Your transition isn't quite what you thought it would be, eh?
