The Best Campaign Yard Sign I've Seen Yet a "Bitter Clinger"

This is a campaign sign I saw while driving around Chico this past weekend. I was looking to see how many Obama signs there were. I saw a lot of signs for local and state elections, but very very few for either Obama or Romney. In 2008 the town was painted in Obama signs, but not today. Then I came across a sign that made me stop and get out of my truck. I had take a photo, because it was by far the most unique and big yard sign I saw all day. The the guy, or gal, who put this up must really want Obama out bad. Not many people go through the trouble of making a sign themselves to get their point across. The owner wasn't home so I couldn't talk to him, but I wanted to share it with all my fellow FReepers.

A bitter Clinger, clinging to God, family, and the fragile remnant of what is left of the American system of government that was so wisely set up by our founding fathers. However he is not holding onto his beliefs bitterly, rather he is a humble man who acknowledges that there are things greater than himself. Obama will never understand Americans, because he is not an American. We Americans understand that many have sacrificed all they had so that their descendants could have an opportunity to achieve everything they desire. No, Obama cannot understand this because he only holds contempt for those who love America as the founding fathers envisioned it to be.

For those who are clueless as to the term, "Bitter Clinger". It was Obama who coined the term in 2008 when he told a group of wealthy elite California donors in San Francisco;

"You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

Back in July, Charles Krauthammer pointed out to Bret Baier, of Fox News, that Obama was running on "fear of the other"--an ironic tactic, he said, given Obama's infamous "bitter clinger" statement (above) about rural Americans. As I said, Obama's worst nightmare is a Bitter Clinger with a ballot.

People remember that Obama referred to guns and religion, but few recall that he also talked about "antipathy to people who aren't like them," Krauthammer explained. And Obama's attack on outsourcing, with its implicit hostility to foreigners, makes full use of that antipathy in an attempt to push the electorate in his direction.

To that, Krauthammer could have added that Obama's entire campaign is based on such fear-mongering--not just between Americans and foreigners, but primarily between rich and poor, black and white, gay and straight--the very divisions Obama promised to transcend when he burst onto the national political scene in 2004.

In fact, Obama has become something of a bitter clinger himself. He refuses to understand that his presidency is in danger because of his policies, and instead blames his failure to communicate his ideas to the American people--who, in their ignorance, still refuse to submit to him. The "antipathy to people who aren't like them" has become, for Obama, a way to explain his political frustrations--and a tool, he believes, to overcome them.

That's a great sign...although, really, it's a pageant!

This homeowner knows great street theater, usually the realm of the left. I just hope he takes it inside for Halloween night or it will be destroyed.

I actually wish he'd sit right beside the skeleton in a lawn chair all evening with a smile on his face and a loaded paint ball gun in his lap.

I actually wish he'd sit in plain view on the front porch all evening with a smile on his face and a loaded paint ball gun in his lap.

LOL! Not only are we in a small forest with the house not visible from the street until the leaves all fall off the trees, but also we’re on a country lane with no sidewalks and nothing but cropland for at least a mile around.

We never get trick or treaters.

[OneVike]

AHHHH...... Quiet.

Silence truly is golden, ain’t it?

[TheOldLady]

Indeed.
