They Just Don't Get It

I think that Obama doesn’t get it, because in his mind, it’s so obvious that Obamacare and socialism are what is needed to cure all of the ills of society. And in his mind, anyone who doesn’t agree is not thinking straight, or not thinking clearly due to fear about the future, or clinging to a gun or religion due to their fears.

Well said. Obama told the moveon crowd he was, in essence, going to double down on his plans to make us the USSA.

At what point do we follow Thomas Jefferson's advice?"God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ... And what country can preserve its liberties, if it's rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." — Thomas Jefferson

I don’t agree that many of them are particularly intended upon “Utopian plans”.

That would suggest good will on their part for all mankind.

“Obamacare and socialism are what is needed to cure all of the ills of society.”

“And in his mind, anyone who doesn’t agree is not thinking straight, or not thinking clearly due to fear about the future, or clinging to a gun or religion due to their fears.”

Yes, he has such ideals and goals, but it’s much worse than it seems on the surface.

He’s an Alinsky-ite and he’s pulled out all the stops — including the mocking and ridicule as you mentioned.

But he has also made use of:
**The iron fist of a dictator [cramming unconstitutional bills down our throats]
**Scare tactics [done in order to implement TARP]
**Carrot and stick maneuvers [i.e., cash/clunkers, extended unemployment benefits, stimulus, etc.]
**A complicit dem-controlled congress and senate [not to mention their good old lap-dog, the MSM]
**Class warfare/infighting [Wall Street vs Main Street]
**Instigating racial tensions [way too much to mention]

All of this, and more, has been done in order to seize control over us and our economy — basically to bring us to our knees.

The monstrosity known as zerocare [have to read it to know what’s in there] is just an instrument to get him to his ultimate goal — a “balanced” America, where elites rule [play golf, eat whatever they like, fly/drive whatever they like, take glorious family vacations] - and the rest of us are told we must sacrifice and come under subjection.

Many Americans have already lost most of their savings, our homes have lost value, our businesses are failing — yet they want even more of our livelihoods. There soon won’t be a middle class if they get their way - because that isn’t “fair” — but there will be lots of serfs in “Obamerica.”

This is utopia to him and his regime and it is their ultimate goal - and notice they’re taking their casualties from the “Bloodbath of 2010” in stride - all for the cause it seems.

We’ve witnessed every bit of this - and more - in just 2 years’ time.

Okay, is it tin-foil hat time for me? :-}

Nope. They won’t be happy even then, ‘cause things will have deteriorated so bad their sugar teat will dry up, Atlas will shrug, and the masses will be so angry they can’t even go outside their ivory towers to go spend two billion dollars on their trips hither and yon. The masses are already pretty much livid with this “let them eat cake” mentality of Michelle and Barack’s administration/rulership.
