Will A Weaker America Be A More "Just" America?
Townhall ^ | 3/29/2009 | Austin Hill

President Barack Obama has no intention of helping to grow the United States economy. On the contrary, he is doing everything a President can do to weaken it.

I know that sounds harsh. Maybe it seems outrageously “partisan.” Maybe it just seems outrageous.

But after roughly ten weeks, Obama has consistently proposed ideas and plans (and in one case signing legislation) that will weaken the U.S. economy, not strengthen it. To attempt to view this man through the lenses of American prosperity, and to evaluate him with the same assumptions with which the behavior of other modern-day Presidents has been evaluated - - that growing the U.S. economy is a good and noble and necessary thing - - simply makes no sense.

Yet to assess this very different President with a very different set of assumptions in mind - - that American prosperity itself is a problem to be remedied, or that the U.S. has become an economic superpower at the expense of other nations - - only then does his economic behavior appear rational. And it is now clear that President Obama’s objective is to weaken the U.S.

I didn’t arrive at this conclusion quickly. After he won the election, there was a glimmer of hope that his policies could end-up being more rational than his promises, with the appointment of Clinton-era advisor Lawrence Summers and Reagan-era advisor Paul Volcker.

But soon, very harsh Obama realities set-in. Paul Volcker has not once spoken publicly since going to work for Obama, and beltway insiders (and just about everyone who works in the world of financial media) report that Volcker has a nice office at the White House, and has virtually no contact with the President. And while Lawrence Summers has been slightly more visible publicly,

It's amazing to believe that the ENTIRE media is complicit or deluded enough to simply let this happen...and yet, where those questioning who this guy is?

Listen little MSM mice, don't be afraid. No one will judge you for questioning Mr. Soetoro now... however you may be eviscerated for NOT asking the questions before.

Social Justice isn't.
Social Work doesn't.
Social Studies aren't.

His dark little, dark, depraved soul is in sync with destruction and misery. Prosperity would be like light to a vampire. Obama’s psyche has him programmed to do whatever it takes destroy all that is good and decent. And this same dynamic will explain why millions will still support him as he wreak havoc on our country.
Darkness has an affinity for darkness. Liberals are not well-intentioned who make mistakes. They are driven by evil.

A “Weaker America” will weaken the world in general.........just my opinion. The American people need to make sure that we fix ourselves first. If we are weakened, we cannot assist others. I don’t believe our people will put up with a “Weaker America”.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

We are going to end up like that paradise in the south side of Chicago that community organizer Obama saved.

You know the place that no reporters showed us during the election.

It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.

A DESTROYED America, in the minds of leftists,

would be “social justice” in and of itself.

That was somewhat the idea of Clinton's Albright. She visioned a world with superpower status being shared between US, EU and Russia - possibly others. She made the point emphatically the the US must not be the only superpower.

Hey Georgie. There is no 'maybe'. There's no 'outrageous" and it isn't 'harsh' either.

If you Beltway pinheads would have listened to Barry before he was even the nominee when he said, "The Constitution Isn't Fair", maybe that would have given you dunces a fricken clue as to what his goals were for the USA if he was elected.

His goal is to remake America in HIS view of what's "fair". And since he's a pinko-commie Marxist, and a 'Black', whose people have always been held down by 'Da Man', guess what "fair" means to him ya putz.

Well here's a hint; Zimbabwe Lite. Tastes lousy and is Less Filling too!
First he went after the Bankers, then the Insurance Companies, and NOW the Auto Industry. And next up is his sleeve will taking over all Corporations. First it will be the ones publicly traded, then every Corporation and LLC - to 'protect' the shareholders and workers, ya know. And the number one Corporate target will be the evil, greedy Oil Companies. Maxine Waters is already drooling over confiscating their (cough) 'profits'.

And Georgie, you can bet the rent that another on his list of takeover targets is the NEWSPAPERS. Every 'news' story, every Editorial will have to be approved by a gubmint overseer from ACORN for 'fairness'. Pravda will seem like Thomas Paine's 'Common Sense' in comparison.

So Georgie, welcome to Barry the Kenyan Communist's 'Brave New 3rd World'. Too bad you and your Beltway ilk didn't listen to him and his plans for America while 'we' still had a chance.

Ps: You have ten days to vacate your DC Mansion. A family of twelve from Chicago's projects is moving in. It isn't "Fair" you have a big house and they only have a cramped two bedroom apartment. Oh, and you have to pay their moving expenses too -- its only "Fair".
