We’re well into the third year of the Obama Administration and you would be hard pressed to find someone not keenly aware of how precarious a position we, as a nation, are in.
All around us there are signs of an imminent implosion and whispers of a possible second Great Depression should our course not be corrected – and soon. Yet Obama charges forward with speeches like the one he gave recently in El Paso, Texas, seemingly unaware he has insulted a great number of people by poking fun of the issue – cementing the fact this man has no intention of securing the border. This is just one example of what some call his administration’s ineptitude that happens on an almost weekly basis with one issue or another.
I take a different position. I do not think it is ineptness, but a purposeful deconstruction of this nation. Given the sheer number of flip-flops from this administration, one has to start to wonder if it is indeed on purpose. Obama is on a mission to change this country; the ultimate in social justice – leveling the playing field in the United States by bringing it to its knees.
Let’s look at some of the pieces in Obama’s Deconstruction Plan for America, otherwise known as Win The Future (WTF!?) 2012. Bear in mind the idea what these are not mistakes but intentional on his part:
Obama likes to beat up on those who cannot respond. Ironic from the President who wants to crack down on Bullies, he seems to do a lot of it himself – how quickly Tucson faded. This includes any critics, the Supreme Court, Paul Ryan and the American People. This man garnered much attention during his campaign as a man to ‘heal the Nation’, from what I don’t know, but has turned out to be a ‘Great Divider’ instead. The President seemingly has a big ego and very thin skin – what a combination to have in the leader of the supposedly Free World. Small wonder he comes off so arrogant and condescending.
Obama’s selective assistance in the Middle East sets up our detractors for future attacks on the United States. Obama has entered into the unrest in the Middle East in only a few situations, mainly those that would potentially yield a negative outcome down the road for the United States. Cases in point are Egypt and Libya. I’ve said before that Obama’s idea of Hope is not meant for Americans but for our enemies. His continual ‘Muslim Outreach’ is getting old, dangerous and downright offensive. This is a group of people a world away leeching our money with the express intent of later killing us in mind.
Obama has attacked, or purposefully neglected, just about every sector of the economy on some level. Each time declaring there was some evil villain afoot, someone who has ‘made enough money’ and must be stopped or a rationalization along those lines. Meanwhile he and his pals, Pelosi and Reid, dog-pile on the deficit with record spending. The short list of victims includes Wall Street, Big Oil, Housing, and Health Insurance. His recent attacks on Oil companies has been picked up as a mantra by the Democrats in the house with highly politicized ‘show trials’ of Oil company executives lately. Oil is already painted as a villain so it is an easy mark for Obama and serves a dual purpose to boost his tough guy image on one hand while pushing his nation killing Green policies. What you don’t see is that in comparison with the industries out there, Oil ranks pretty far down in profit margin list. Remember, the Federal Government is pocketing about 49.5 cents from you at the pumps on each gallon of gas right now. That’s a pretty big margin – hey, I found Obama’s villains!
Fighting on multiple fronts domestically will keep the opposition from being able to stop him. Obama has jumped from one controversial move to the next, forcing the other side to try and keep up. This keeps any opposition from being able to mount a strong counter-response, much less be effective in reversing the damage once Team Obama’s complicit media friends spin any who oppose as racists or extremists. Cases in point, Arizona and Wisconsin. The lone exception to this fast moving strategy seems to be the ‘Long Form Birth Certificate’ debate. In this case, Obama seems to relish dragging it out in a manner befitting a child melting Army men on their driveway with a magnifying glass rather than of the President of the United States who has more “important stuff to do“. Guess what, Americans are the Army men in that scenario.
The Department of Justice has been an instrumental tool for Obama’s various efforts to disrupt the nation. I’ve written a bit about the New Black Panther Intimidation case before but so much has come out since then. It’s almost like some kind of corrupt to-do list complete with racism and disregard for the Constitution. In fact, it’s easier to just list what the DOJ has been up to:
■Pigford. ■The New Black Panther Party Case. ■Suing Arizona. ■Suing States who plan to pass Anti-Sharia laws. ■Stalling FOIA requests. Investigating the CIA agents who helped bring Bin Laden to his end. ■Gun smuggling to Mexico.
Obama has foot soldiers – MoveOn.org, Organizing for America, Unions and Czars. Moveon.org has been putting together pro-union rallies all over the United States. Social unrest seems to be something the President wants to see since he has done nothing but give a nod of approval to such activities. Organizing for America (BarackObama.com) led the charge in Madison, Wisconsin. Unions have been a constant source of support for Obama and continue to be his thugs in the field in Madison and around the country. Obama has shown his loyalty to Unions over and over again – no matter what. Czars are unchecked and unvetted, they have done Obama’s bidding in the smaller rings of this circus while Obama has distracted us all in the Main Tent with shiny objects like Birth Certificates, Extremist Tea Partiers and Bin Laden photos. There have been moves made to defund them, but that effort was stunted by the budget bill.
Obama and his Democratic Congress have spending problem worse than a teenage girl who has ‘borrowed’ not one but ALL of her daddy’s credit cards. Obama has blown all spending done by previous President’s away and what’s worse is he did it knowing full well we were already in deficit trouble. In the face of this well recognized problem, he continues to push more new spending and funnel more ‘ aid’ to foreign nations instead of helping our own States. Obamacare is his Crown Jewel of spending achievement though. It is the ultimate economy vampire, continually sucking more and more money from the individual taxpayer while exempting more and more businesses with waivers.
You’re right: that’s noy how it works in the USA. However, people who have been out of work forntwo years aren’t trying to work. A safety net doesn’t tie you to the high wire, it stops your fall so you can climb back up again. You’re not supposed to lie there on your rear end.
1968 saw the most social unrest since the Civil War and resulted in Nixon and Wallace getting 56% of the vote on a 'Law and Order' platform.
So you know everything about everyone who has been out of work for two years? How about those over 50 who no one wants to hire? How about those whose jobs were shipped overseas? I guess they can work at McDonald’s for minimum wage. Hope it happens to you.
How long will we stand by and let it happen? Until we’re in shackles and then we’ll all be saying to ourselves, “I should have taken real action instead of writing letters and posting warnings on the internet.” There’s a time for talk and there’s a time for action. We obviously haven’t reached the time of action yet because we all still sit here talking, all afraid to be the first to make a move to restore our Constitutional Republic while the point of no return edges closer by the day.
Istanbul was not Bonerville, Washington,D.C. was & continues to be Bonerville.
You probably have a job, Mr. Heartless. maybe you aren’t over 50, a displaced homemaker whose husband off loaded her so he could stick his anatomy somewhere it doesn’t belong.
Or you didn’t get cut because of the bad economy, escorted out of your office on no notice because “you might hurt the computers”. Or you didn’t work for social services and get found out to be a conservative and given the ax because you know, conservatives can’t do social services.
The economy I want to see is one where whoever wants a job can have one.
Two more fascist arms of our Police State bought to us by Obama...
John Ashcroft is responsible for the Patriot Act, hello.
When did simply being able to provide for your own sustenance become “elite”?
Or do we wait until we get herded into "Warsaw Ghetto" type scenarios?

Looking down on others who aren’t so fortunate is elitist. I never said if you can provide for yourself you are elitist.
LOL. Istanbul is a wonderful place, and the Turks are very nice people. I enjoy visiting there.
Say the wrong thing to the wrong person and say hello to Gitmo. And they don't even have to notify anyone that you've been "taken".
No, because anytime anyone talks about limiting entitlements someone screams racism. They use that because they can’t argue with facts. I just beat them to it.
Thank you! After so long on the receiving line many just give up. Where is the incentive to better ones existence? To become a hardworking taxpayer so as to contribute to a society and pay back into the system instead of just take.
That isn't "elitist", that's reality.
Yeah... Me neither.
What the numbers say is that workers between the ages of 55 and 64 were on unemployment rolls an average of 44.6 weeks as of October, according to Assistant Secretary of Labor William E. Spriggs, who spoke before a special session of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. It was called late last year to examine the impact of the economic recession on older workers. According to Spriggs, older workers remained unemployed an average of almost 11 weeks longer than workers age 25 to 34 years, and 17 weeks longer than those 20 to 24.
As they have been displaced from their jobs, workers 55 and older in Wisconsin who are receiving unemployment compensation grew more than 19 percent between 2006 and 2010, from 17 percent of those getting benefits to 20.3 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
“This recession is the first time we’re getting huge numbers of 50-year-olds out of work and looking for jobs,” says attorney Victor Forberger, who leads the University of Wisconsin Law School Unemployment Appeals Clinic and volunteers as a consultant to the Job Transition Program.
As unemployment rates have begun to inch down, prognosticators forecast recovery. But you wouldn’t know it from what older workers report, says Forberger. “If the economy were turning around, companies would be looking for these older workers to get up to speed quickly,” he says.
Media reports of recovery infuriate one discouraged worker in his mid-50s who has been searching for work for months.
“There’s people behind those percentage points,” says the former insurance salesman, who was fired last fall after the demands of seeing his wife through a life-threatening health crisis, on top of assisting his aging parents, meant that he could not meet the quotas of his employment contract. “There are people who are not even included in the numbers because they’ve given up or their benefits ran out. It’s scary. It’s frustrating when you are in this position and all you hear is the numbers. Walk in our shoes for a while.”

You make it sound so easy. It isn’t.
