Obama Calls His Critics "Enemies"
New American ^ | 26 Oct 2010 | Raven Clabough

Posted on 10/27/2010 9:19:47 AM PDT by mandaladon

In a last-ditch effort to salvage the Democratic majority, President Obama is encouraging Hispanic voters to remain inspired by stalled immigration "reform" to vote against Republicans on Election Day. More importantly, President Obama is inspiring his constituents to “punish our enemies and reward our friends,” encouraging a similar kind of “thugocracy” we have seen with labor unions.

In a radio interview that aired on Univision yesterday, Obama assured Hispanics that immigration overhaul was next on the agenda, despite the lack of Republican support:

If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, "We’re going to punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us," if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s going to be harder, and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2.

I don’t see what all the fuss is about. “Enemy” is a rather elastic term. We who are conservatives really are enemies of the hard core left, just as they are enemies of us. I have no problem recognizing that condition. I would make the distinction that being an enemy does not necessarily entail literal “hand to hand combat,” but does involve a difference of objectives so extreme that, in order for one side to win, the other side must lose. That can apply to a friendly game of chess, military warfare, or the present clash of visions for the future of American culture. For those who love freedom and good as we have known it in our America, Obama really is our enemy, and we his. Only we will be using the ballot box not the bullet box to engage our enemy next Tuesday. May God grant us victory.

Calling Americans your “enemy” historically has not worked out well for those who have tried it.

Reminds me of the scene in Gone With the Wind:

“We’ll give you forty acres and a mule because we’re your friends and we want you to
vote the way your friends do.”

First they lose the arguments.
Then they call names.
Finally they get violent.

And I look forward to meeting that violence with overwhelming force. "I'll be your huckleberry."

I love this thuggery. He can say this about us, but if we say something similar about him we get his SS heavies knocking on our door. The Chicago way is becoming the American way.

*This is what (SEIU) President Andy Stern said : “We’re trying to use the power of persuasion. And if that doesn’t work, we’re going to use the persuasion of power because there are governments and there are opportunities to change laws.” *

Look at the violence inherent in the system!
Only this time, it's serious.

The mark of a mans power is to be either loved or hated by other men. This defines impact on posterity, and personal perception of ones value...

It is sad to lack the ability to inspire love.

It is pathetic to lack the ability to inspire hatred.

Oblivion is all that remains for the one, and he knows it..

He’s not smart enough to be the main guy.

Those “hangers on” of D. Barry’s tickle Soros’ elbow.

That’s more forceful language than he ever has used against Chavez, the Iranian Nutjob, or Al Qaeda. Robert Gibbs has even said that not ALL of Taliban is evil and hinted that we will negotiate with them in Afghanistan.

Opponent, Advesary, etc.... Those are terms that should be used. Enemy denotes hate, agression etc.... He is a tool.

The car is in the ditch and I put my enemies in the back seat. They want to put the radio on country but I control the radio and I want hip-hop.

They want the keys back. But I ain’t gonna gibbum no keys back. I got the keys and my supporters are riding shotgun.

There is a crack in the dashboard of the car caused by 8 years of the Bush administration.

The steering wheel of the car needs a new cover and the windshield wipers need to be fixed...

Half the time, I have no idea what this freakin goofy retard is talking about. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

After 2 years of playtime on the jungle gym, November 3, we finally get some ‘adult supervision back into our government.

I don’t know. Paul calls the Devil himself our Adversary. I think they are all interchangeable terms. As for hate, Christians are supposed to love their enemies, so no necessary inference of hatred there at all for me. I think people grow up in different “connotation pools,” with respect to certain charged words. I’ve seen enemy used in so many varied contexts it would be hard for me to limit it to pure, irrational antagonism. Presidents, however, should never take the position that Americans who want American law enforced are oppositional to him or one of his constituencies. That’s the revealing slip. I think he might well see “enemy” just the way you define it, as mere objects of irrational hated and aggression, and yet he used it of us. If so, it speaks volumes of where his mind is at.
