My Predictions for the New Obama "Presidency"
Now that America has shown us all that affirmative action even works in politics, I've compiled a list of things that you can probably expect to happen. These predictions are 80% gleaned from information all of us have access to, and 15% gut instinct based on many years of research, historical study, and being glued to current affairs. The other 5% is just anger at my countrymen's stupidity--I admit it.
We have traded experience for color, freedom for slavery--and the irony is that the average American sheeple thinks their vote somehow righted an ancient wrong, somehow ENDED the spectre of slavery and ushered in some beautiful era of liberty. In reality, we are about to be less free than you ever thought possible.
I watched the faces of those crowded into the mob (excuse the pun) in Chicago. They stared at Obama like he was a god, an idol, a panacea to their every want and need. We have truly failed as a nation if we are at the point where we feel we must look to one man to take care of us all, to be our father figure and our sugar daddy. We have lost not only the "can-do" attitude of past generations, but the "MUST-do" attitude of our forefathers. We have allowed ourselves to become reduced from Patrick Henry's proud cry of "liberty or death" to the sniveling, whining idea that we are owed something. We have gone from being the honorable defenders of freedom, to being told we are the problem.
The eyes of Obama and McCain were also telling. McCain acted with class and grace in his concession speech , offering the most honorable response I've seen yet. I don't agree with all of McCain's positions, but it cannot be denied that the man has served his nation--at permanent and severe detriment to himself--for half a century.
His eyes were clear and sincere, honest. His speech underlined the very reasons why, of the two men offered, he was hands down the best choice.
On the other hand, Obama's eyes were cold, calculating. His manner was smug and still carried the arrogance he has always had. His facial expression was one of barely disguised disdain for everything people like me believe in. His body language was smooth, polished--too much so. He talked of patriotism as though it is a value he is familiar with--and yet, his horrifying attitude toward the country he now leads is as well-documented as his friendships with those who seek its demise. He is charismatic to those who don't know what to look for, and he is inspiring to those who cannot or will not think for themselves. However, too many who voted for him are guilty of the most dangerous kind of hypocrisy. You see, we are told daily that we must not see color, just mankind. (We are all family, you know--or so we're told.) And yet Barack Obama was handed the White House on a silver platter by a fawning media, a bevy of foreign donors (who, to this day and in violation of U.S. election laws, remain nameless and unaccounted for), and a populace who voted based on color instead of right and wrong--even in the face of the most damning evidence against a Presidential candidate in many years, perhaps ever.
It is said that the people receive the government they deserve. Sadly, I fear that's correct. We have become complacent, unwilling to see the writing on the wall, content to frolic in the warm water without bothering to notice that it's been getting hotter by the minute. We are two seconds from a rolling boil--and perhaps it is already too late.
So, liberals, enjoy your victory. Jump around. Have a party, file for your free grants. Scream "Gimme my handout!" and make fun of those of us who fought to make sure your "messiah" didn't get access to the most powerful position in the world. Just remember when it all comes crashing down: You own the White House, the Congress, and soon the Supreme Court. You have no one to blame but yourselves for the mess you just created.
As for me, I'm buying my handguns this week so I have an answer for those who will come try to take them.
Kit
Kit Lange is an Air Force veteran and military writer who specializes in investigating murder cases stemming from actions in combat. Her work was used as evidence in the Lt. Ilario Pantano case, and has been quoted extensively in other news publications for other cases. In 2005, she co-wrote a 10-part series disproving war crime allegations against an elite Army unit; her blog, EuphoricReality.com, was named as one of the top 10 milblogs of the year. She is also the National Web Coordinator for Gathering of Eagles, a nationally-recognized troop support organization. Kit holds a degree in Aircraft Maintenance Technology from Spartan College of Aeronautics, and is currently working on a second degree in Aviation Technology Management. She resides in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Kit Lange ping.
Look for CW2 and / or WW3. I also suspect that there may be an attempt by some nut case to end the Obombs administration ala JFK
Just skimming, but I’d say the author’s more than a bit over the edge.
I think we see Obama more as a big brother, and we see that as desirable. Big Brother is watching us, and we will all be safe.
Nonsense. If this is an example of her insight and power of analysis, Kit Lang is an idiot.
Well, I guess I am too, because I agree with her.
—bflr—
“We just elected”
No
“They [communists and their enablers known as useful idiots] just elected”
Our new leader is the bastard lovechild of Matthew Lesko and Stalin.
Me too. Except I would call a spade a spade and say Enemy Combatant vs. her term, ‘sugar daddy’.
Very true. Too bad we can’t invalidate votes from states that weren’t in compliance with the terms and intent of the HAVA Act.
Also, the non certified electors need to be invalidated.
Maybe he is. We don’t have a birth certificate that proves otherwise.
No again. The Republicans totally fell apart. There was no one else to vote for, despite the marvelous Palin.
How can predictions be accurate?...until afterwards
....it is not stupidity, Ms. Lang, it is called human nature. There are some, and I would argue, a majority, of Americans who have a welfare mentality. They want something for doing no work....for free, is the normal term.
Their numbers have been steadily rising since the "great society"...when the government really got into the welfare business big time.
There are now millions of second, third, and even fourth generations of people who know nothing else other than going down to the welfare office and picking up a check. They think everybody pays for groceries with a "lone star card" or food stamps. The illegal welfare people of course add to their numbers.
Now that their numbers are big enough they can elect one of their own.
And they did.
The welfare people are going to elect one of their own time after time until the United States of America looks like Zimbabwe. Short of a direct intervention from God, or a total scrapping of "one man, one vote" there will be no way to stop it.
So my chant these days:
Hey, Hey....Ho, ho....
One man, one vote has got to go!
I could not have said this better if I had to write this myself, I know where my destiny is heading when I hear about articles like this.
Either you are part of the answer or part of the problem.
I’m off to buy some more ammo.
“Just skimming, but Id say the authors more than a bit over the edge”.
...placing one’s head in the sand will only result in something worse than Kit has predicted. I agree with her 100%.
An usurper, an illegal alien, a foreigner selected to the tune of a quarter/billion dollar$, and trembled the Constitution!!!
