Is Obama waging psychological warfare on Americans?

I believe that the Obama administration is conducting psychological warfare on conservative Americans. Not only that but it is also waging this war on all Americans who previously viewed themselves, their country, their Constitution and their overwhelming belief in God as a force for good in the world.

The psychological warfare began with an apology tour in which President Obama publicly “confessed,” presuming to speak for all of us, for the shortcomings of America and our supposed contributions to tyranny and all manner of evils around the world.

This confession planted in the American mind the notion that our values and beliefs might not be in line with freedom and truth.

The president, with the help of his administration, is attempting to conduct psychological warfare on Americans who value autonomy and free will.

It was reinforced by the first lady stating during the 2008 presidential campaign that she had never felt pride in our country.

These statements were seemingly shrugged off by Americans who, collectively, seemed to be telling themselves that they were hearing discontent channeled from disenfranchised groups in our nation who, nonetheless, loved the country—and all of us, too.

But, deep inside the American psyche, something more malignant could have been planted—the seeds of self-hatred and self-doubt. And I no longer believe that those seeds were planted unintentionally by people as smart and capable as the president and first lady.

That said though, there are some people who should not be allowed to carry arms. Balance is precarious isn’t it?

If they should not be allowed to carry arms than they should either be (a) dead, or (b) in some sort of care (i.e. parents caring for their mentally-retarded adult-child). I reject utterly the idea that some infraction should end all rights someone might have, turning them into a second-class citizen whose 'rights' have been transformed into privileges bestowed by his master. (In other words: even the vilest felon, after serving his sentence, must be considered free/blameless by the law*.) To assume otherwise is to say that the law is never satisfied in some cases; and some will argue that being stripped of the right to keep & bear arms "is part of the sentence": they are wrong, it cannot be so because the 'law' which prohibits them is, even by the screwy definition the Supreme Court uses, an Ex Post Facto law, and therefore contrary to the constitution, and therefore nullity.

* - Granted, the sentence might be death, but if he should rise from the grave then I would have no objection to his carrying of arms.

Ever since I was big enough to have some idea of what was going on, the dems have promoted huge wasteful programs that endangered America’s security, monetary and militarily.

They seemed to know that soon the Pubbies would be back to fix up the economy and cover all the money they wasted.

Afterwards without exception, it was found that during all the waste, many of the dems were getting filthy rich on the “loose unaccounted” money.

Many, many are helping with the charade and gathering up all that unaccounted for money.
