Not merely Himself
An article posted on September 19th at The Jerusalem Post is titled Emasculating America. The author, David Weinberg, is not a conspiracy theorist but, based on his article, some may castigate him as one, wrongly.
Mr. Weinberg contends that President Obama is neither naive nor inept nor maladroit; He wants America to be emasculated.
Why has Obama so wantonly and care-freely allowed America’s international reputation and awesome global power to waste away? The answer is that Obama is clearly out to emasculate America; to doggedly drag it down, purposefully so. He seeks the weakening of the United States on the global stage as a good and necessary outcome. He has set this as one of the key goals of his presidency – and he is doing a very good, skillful job at hitting his target! In short, the nonchalance of Obama as America decays is doctrinaire. He ideologically intends it. [Emphasis added.]From day one, Obama has not been comfortable with American leadership in world affairs. He explicitly views America’s past global performance to be arrogant and high-handed; to be militaristic and not completely moral.
His wife, during the first campaign, called America a “mean” country. Obama termed America “overbearing.” Dozens of times, he has made it clear that he views America not as the leader of the world or the free world, but at best as a partner in the community of nations. Obama himself prefers to preen as a “citizen of the world.” [Emphasis added.]
That self-definition rolls comfortably off his tongue; being a “citizen of the United States” does not. He just doesn’t like America all that much.
His path, then, is to “fundamentally transform” America’s place in the world; to denude the United States of its overwhelming global power; to strip the United States of its superior position; to drag America down from its imperious perch.
. . . .
In five short years, with three to go, he has succeeded in squandering centuries of American might, prestige and credibility.
Over the past month, Obama has granted Putin a gargantuan international victory, given Assad a new lease on life, emboldened Iran and its allies like Hezbollah, and reenergized the morally-bankrupt UN – while playing Hamlet about his own authority to strike Syria and trashing US credibility.
He leaves America’s reputation in the world “unbelievably small.” [Emphasis added.]
If the author is correct, and I very much fear that he is, those who consider President Obama merely naive, inept and maladroit would do well to reconsider their views. Continuing to opine that recent events have emasculated President Obama -- rather than what's left of America -- would mean their own emasculation as opponents of what has become the "Obama Doctrine" -- speak loudly, carry a small feather and get out of the way.
President Obama should be pushed out of the way, but not by Russia or the United Nations. He won't be pushed unless He is presented accurately, vigorously and effectively as hating all of the good for which America has stood and as embracing all of the evil that has fouled or attempted to foul her. Recognizing the nature of a problem is a first step toward dealing with it successfully.
If we recognize the problem, what can we do about it?
First, it's best to dismiss the highly unlikely. A bill of Impeachment, even by the Republican controlled House of Representatives, is presently at best a remote possibility. Even if it were otherwise, the Democrat controlled Senate would not convict their Lord Obama. Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution provides,
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present. [Emphasis added.]
Dreaming can be pleasant but accomplishes little. Neither do hopes that public opinion will turn unbidden against President Obama based on His efforts to emasculate America. Foreign policy appears to be at the bottom of the thermometer of popular importance, even after the mess in Syria which made His efforts at emasculation shine.
A Trifecta video was posted yesterday about Republican efforts to defund ObamaCare, which the House voted today to do. That's good. However, the video, particularly Bill Whittle's comments, has substantial relevance if transported into the present context:
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJFUlFocbL4&w=640&h=360]
There is a story to tell about President Obama's scalpel continuing to castrate America and telling the story badly won't work. Will anyone likely to be listened to find a really big audience of "we the people" and do it? Unless someone tells it loudly, with vigor and not only to fellow conservatives, President Obama will be enabled to continue doing his thing to our nation for which He has little if any respect.
Although I enjoyed this video posted on September 9th, which as of this writing has had 2,423,891 views, 30,940 likes and 3,025 dislikes, it seems unlikely to do much to sway the opinions of President Obama's legions of admirers. They are the ones who most of all need to be swayed. Perhaps the video is too subtle in seeking to damn President Obama by praising him idiotically; some libruls may have seen it as actual praise rather than as appropriate and biting satire; I don't know.

There is at least one baby step that may do some good if successful: try to get conservative, or failing that Republican, control of both houses of the Congress during the 2014 election cycle. Domestic, rather than foreign policy, seems the most likely key unless somebody tells a very effective story about the consequences of castration or President Obama gets us into a shooting war with no good results and daily body counts heading skyward of dead Americans. That would be the probable result were President Obama to get us into one using His rules of engagement.
However, as public disapproval of ObamaCare continues to increase, as the economy continues its decline, as President Obama and other Democrats continue to demand unpopular attempts at citizen control masquerading as "gun control" and as popular disenchantment with pervasive governmental snooping increases, conservative (or at least Republican) control of both houses may be possible.
Conclusion
An optimistic conclusion would be comforting. However, I haven't been able to think of one. Whatever happens, President Obama will almost certainly have until January of 2017 to continue screwing the nation pretty much as He sees fit. Then, it may well be up to Hillary Clinton to continue shoving our nation even further in the wrong directions.
If others have potentially viable ideas I would very much like to know what they are. In the meantime, we can all prepare for Christmas.

Obama continually stated when he was running for office in 2007 & 2008 that he ‘Would Level the Playing Field”. Blacks who voted for him heard “they would be raised up to the standards of the whites’. I heard him say that he would reduce America to 3rd world standards.
He is doing that.
He is reducing America to Zimbabwe & Sudan & Somalia.
Those who didn’t pay attention then are still not paying much attention today, IMO.
So I think I was correct.
Obama hates America. Transformation is not enough. America's crimes and sins must be punished. America must be humiliated, its military weakened, its precious liberty eradicated, its sons and daughters enslaved, its culture polluted, its economy bankrupted, its great cities blighted, its pride stripped, its institutions destroyed, its friends repudiated and its enemies emboldened. When America looks like Kenya, Obama can say, "mission accomplished." Socialism is merely a vehicle of convenience, a means to an end quite different from what his supporters and opponents expect. Taqiyya and kitman are his tactics.
Not surprisingly, I agree with the author 100%.
And I agree with what you wrote.
ping
I predict that America will break apart....after the reign of terror from our totalitarian govt/society....
we're not far from Canada...I suppose we could try to escape...
I told my husband that maybe we should move to Russia....
I keep thinking if this is the ying, where is the yang....where is the zag after the zip?....where are the opposing forces?....
the drug lords and the mafia all have groups within their groups trying to get control....
heck, even in Syria the rebels have rebels fighting the original rebels...
where is the oppostion....
Obama was chosen specifically to DESTROY America as we know it.
Name ONE FReeper that voted for that POS!
He’s being enabled by Congress and the MSM, in my opinion.
Just because some refused to vote for liberal Romney
You see, they can’t blame Romney for not being a good enough candidate to attract those votes. They can’t admit that his miraculous “conversion” from NE liberal to “severely conservative” was pure fraud. They want to pretend that the GOP owns your vote and you are duty bound to vote for whatever POS is offered up.
Well, I am a conservative I am not a Republican. I will not vote for libs of either party.
The question is not why has obama done this to America. Any fool should be able to figure out why he does it. The question is why have the people allowed him to do it?
Isn’t it sad that one man could bring this country down without firing a shot.
The feminist movement is the primary culprit here. Females assumed the man's role. Men found themselves without their unique role as provider. Females assumed their role, primarily by abandoning motherhood for full time jobs. This, along with sexual promiscuity as part of the Feminist movement resulted in a skyrocketing divorce rate where fathers left the home, ALSO abandoning their children.
So, the global Marxist union-controlled teachers now raise the children, with an agenda of empowering girls and emasculating boys. This ensures the Marxist regime meets with little to no resistance as they march "FORWARD" with their tyranny upon its citizens.
Oh, I forgot ‘how does this get fixed?’. Bringing fathers back into the home would be a good start, but I don’t see females giving up their roles as Daddy. Ain’t gonna happen. Too much selfishness for that to happen.
It truly is sad, the Executive Branch has way too much power.
0bama was chosen to run for President for the same reason he chose Susan Rice to lie to the American people. The Marxists use 'Protected class' individuals to get the dirty deeds done.
That camel picture...looks like a black version of pee-wee herman
So you lied...got it.
