The Naivete of the American Public and Barack Obama

Suddenly the American public is shocked. Perhaps there is no economic recovery. Perhaps the One really does favor Islam.

Democrats and Republicans shake their heads and wonder, how could our President pursue such divisive and unpopular policies? What is the rationale for his decisions? Is he incompetent? Is he naive?

The answer is none of the above.

I have said before and I will say again, Barack Obama does not share the values of Americans. His vision is completely anathema to an America based on individualism, private property rights and Judeo-Christian morality.

When one argues that Barack Obama is merely mistaken in his economic program, they completely discount the notion that he knows exactly what he is doing and that he has been 100% successful in achieving his policies and their intended ends, means and ends that any objective viewer would realize were insane. After all, an economy is nothing more than the collection of mutually beneficial voluntary exchanges of labor and the fruits of labor. Anything that impedes one’s labor, or the trading of its fruits is necessarily bad for the economy. Hence, almost everything a government does to try to stimulate an economy, impeding the natural spontaneous harmony of such a system necessarily postpones any recovery.

I agree with the assessment of this article. We're going to have to have more people realize that Barry is deliberately crushing the economy and destroying what he can of traditional America before we can gather the strength to permanently defeat his mass of supporters and their infrastructure. Too many people still think Barry is “just” a leftist trying out leftist policies to improve things. He’s not, he is intent on establishing an Islamic socialist state here, something like Syria where the imams are allowed a great deal of control over the masses but the elite is in absolute control and lives by a separate set of rules the imams have no say so over. Barry said he doesn't care much for the Constitution, and he has every intention of eliminating it one way or another.

Isaiah 3 (New International Version)

1 See now, the Lord,
the LORD Almighty,
is about to take from Jerusalem and Judah
both supply and support:
all supplies of food and all supplies of water,

2 the hero and warrior,
the judge and prophet,
the soothsayer and elder,

3 the captain of fifty and man of rank,
the counselor, skilled craftsman and clever enchanter.

4 I will make boys their officials;
mere children will govern them.

If you doubt my argument that the American people are still not awake enough to cause any meaningful change, consider that for all the talk of a backlash against this government, if you look at the Republicans that will take over Congress, almost none of them them would truly be willing to do the things necessary to make our government solvent, break the chains off of our private sector and defend us against our enemies and their abettors, starting with calling them by name, not a tactic like terrorism.

Wow, what a great article. Like a cruise missile right on target.

Before he got elected Commander in Chief, how many Memorial Day or Veterans Day parades do you think Obama watched go by?

[anniegetyourgun]

There are simply too many Americans (and many Freepers) who still think we’re “just in a cycle.” It’s a myth that we’ve been down this path before & elections will take care of it. As I said here on FR on the morning of 11/4/08 (to many scoffers) - all things have changed...nothing is the same.

Mega Dittos, and the sooner more and more people wake up and realize this, the better, and soon.

Just a matter of time before the gummint invents a reason to shut biggovernment.com down, if not the entire internet. These are perilous times.

BUT...youll have any number of nimrods on this board call you names and berate you for those sorts of ideas. They think (used loosely) that a political party is going to bring true reform and prosperity. LOL, thats going to b a train wreck. Yes, I agree many are still asleep or just dont want to be bothered but many are so drunk on their particular brand of kool-aid they cant figure out which end is up.

[thecabal]

I pretty much agree. Our country has never been through something like this before. Things are too far gone for elections to do any real good. I fear that the only way to turn things around is for the system to come down. Problem with that is that is exactly what the enemy has been working toward and is close to achieving. We better be ready to counter they replacement system by any means necessary.

I have been known to rag on Sean Hannity for not always being the most profound dude on the tube, but over and over again I find myself thinking back to those excellent specials he did on Barack Hussein Obama leading up to the election.

Hannity poured all he had into those specials and they were devastating on the question of “just who is this man running to be President and leader of the free world.”

Yet the majority of the electorate seemed to yawn and say “ahh, let’s give him a shot and see how he does.” As if they were throwing spaghetti against the wall to see if it would stick and, thus, was done. Or like the country is a struggling NFL team and the franchise says, “ah, go ahead and hire Blank Slate as the head coach, maybe he’ll give the team a spark, how bad can it be?”

I do hope Hannity will one day re-run those specials and then show how everything that he warned America about Barack Hussein Obama came to pass — and more.

Be the resistance.

Believe me, I know this all too well...from personal experience. The good news is that the mood here at FR has palpably changed in the last few months. A lot of Freepers are waking up. With any luck, this will translate out into the meatworld soon (I think that it has already started to some degree).

I question whether or not anything could change the direction of the economy in the long run, save for a collapse that would force us to let the free market work and liquidate the welfare state.

Yes, this was a great article. And this little nugget -- for the first time in my life I am thinking maybe in fact the welfare state will go away (although there will still somehow be a permanent underclass).

This will not be pretty or maybe even safe. But it's becoming thinkable.

Months ago I argued that Islam is not a religion in the traditional sense. I argued that as Islam is a theo-political system, it should not deserve the same Constitutional protections as other religions with a strictly spiritual component. In effect, to support Islam in this country would be to support a political system incompatible with ours, and intolerant of our pluralistic Judeo-Christian society. To promote Islamic institutions would be to weaken America’s freedom, not strengthen it.

This extremely consequential knowledge is not new, just buried under fat layers of lazy submission to what started years ago as guvmint schools' agenda to destroy the "melting pot" concept of America and replace it with pernicious multi-culturalism.

But we have been here before:

What Thomas Jefferson learned from the Muslim book of jihad.

“how could our President pursue such divisive and unpopular policies?”......

Please already!....What the hell did people think they were going to get when they voted for a hard left ex-ACLU lawyer?....I’m sick of these idiots who are shocked at what this ass clown is doing!!!

Elections mean nothing now. Don't pin your hopes on November.

The First Republic is dying. After the war, the US can (perhaps) establish the Second Republic of these United States.

More from the article:

Yet Barack Obama consistently sides with Muslims; makes it a point to bow down to Muslims at every turn and has since the start of his Presidency and throughout his public life. He also studied in the madras as a child, has had the backing of major players in the Muslim community during his academic and political career and attended Reverend Wright’s church which parrots the same narrative as Imams worldwide. His true colors showed when he made the Ground Zero mosque a national issue by supporting it. Even Howard Dean has gone on record as questioning what Barack Obama could have been thinking politically. Of course he found it to be a political disaster, lest he should care about its destructiveness on principle.

But though Barack Obama knew the firestorm he would create, he did not care. He could not help himself when it came to something he truly believed in, jumping to say something unpopular to the American people but instinctive for him. Just like he did not care about creating fertile soil for economic growth, just like he does not care in my opinion about defending American lives as reflected by his policies. And when he says inflammatory things about white cops and business executives and mosques that make political pundits shake their heads in wonder, it is because he is showing who he is, and where his passions lie.

This President is a principled politician, but he supports principles that are crushing the American people. This is the most destructive President since FDR, and that it is intentionally so makes it all the more demoralizing. Until more people realize this, we won’t even have a fighting chance. We are going to be poorer, weaker and less likely to ever rekindle the flame of freedom in this nation, and I fear that our differences with our political opposition will prove irreconcilable.

RIGHT ON TARGET.

I was just going to post something about Hannity. I remember thinking back then how much he kept on about Obama and all of those red flags that were flapping in the wind.

He warned and warned again - and he was right on.

Obama is the enemy of America - and he holds the highest office in the land. Unbelievable.
