Disastrous leadership
The Hutchinson News ^ | 4/20/10 | GREGORY H. BONTRAGER

Posted on 04/24/2010 11:11:36 PM PDT by kathsua

Within a year the full weight of the Obama disaster has become apparent. The democratic mantra of "the stimulus saved the economy" is a lie. The "stimulus" is nothing more than years of pent-up pork barrel spending financed on a sea of barrowed Chinese cash.

While schools close and unemployment lines swell, does our "new left" savior acknowledge his mistake? No, in true demagogic fashion he blames others for his failure and seeks to expand his disastrous policies with the claim "we haven't gone far enough." The health care plan is going to lower the deficit - like unemployment won't go above 8 percent, right?

Our government is in the hands of ne'er-do-wells who haven't got a clue beyond a youth spent in Ivy League classrooms that reek of half-baked socialist theory, educated idiots who couldn't organize a trip to the outhouse; cocktail party liberals like Barack Obama who seek to take from those who succeed and redistribute to those who don't.

Their indoctrination into left-wing dogma is complete, what Fidel Castro or Chairman Mao couldn't do "out of the barrel of a gun" our schools and universities have done in masterful fashion. These "angels of light" have hijacked our "shining city on the hill" and are transforming it into another bankrupt people's dog pile.

Obama is like all other Democrats -- if what you are doing isn't working do more of the same.

This writer has, in a few paragraphs, said what others have taken pages and pages to say.

The comments at the link are priceless. The sign that the dems are panicking and without excuses is that the “racist” whine comes out all the time now. In the first months of Obama’s administration I was pleased to see how little that line came out. Then, when people criticized Obama’s bizarre policies, which couldn’t be defended on the merits—out comes the ‘racist’ shrieks.

HL Mencken defined demagogue as a “man who preached doctrines he knows to be lies to men he knows to be fools.” So concise, yet so true, and so appliciable.

Thank God someone is finally zeroing in on the genesis of all this. It came straight out of the bowels of higher education, which had been taken over by Progressives, and it took off with the use of LSD in the 60s. Dr. Spock’s disciplinary theory for children prepped the next generation to place the power of the universe in the hands of youth and the development of the birth control pill unleashed the free sex that went along with the drug use. Today Woodstock is looked upon as a great cultural phenomenon because it produced greats, like Nancy Pelosi. Weep America..We saw this coming a long time ago and no one thought the insanity would survive.

If, IF, we survive this in one piece, it is paramount we clean up the education system and begin the purge of leftism from it. Also popular culture. Not sure how but it has to be done.

The misspelling to one side, this is a perfect capsule of the "stimulus," which only stimulated the growth of government and luxury purchases by its minions.

We're paying for the GOP's betrayal of its nominal principles, coupled to a nationwide infatuation with the notion of an African-American president. It could have been worse, I suppose: it could have been Jesse Jackson or Carol Moseley-Braun. But Barack Hussein Obama is quite bad enough; the Republic will be a long time recovering from him.

Democrats are racists and think everyone else is too. They look at Obama and see only his complexion. They rest of us realize he’s just a white Democrat with a permanent sun tan.
