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.
Sat. Recon.
Electronic spying.
I think it would turn out worse then the last insurrection by the South. Especially since the government is more centralized now than then.
Yes. It isn't. Nothing worth doing is "easy". This does not mean it can't be done. I am proof of that. Nor am I an exception. Nor does it mean those "giving up" or "scamming the system" deserve anything other than derision.
Sorry if you fit this category. Not my fault and it shouldn't be my problem...
Again, this isn't "elitist"... It's just life.
I have never gotten unemployment benefits in my life. There are not enough jobs for everyone who is trying to get one. That’s a fact of life these days. When you’ve walked in the unemployed/underemployed shoes for a while, get back to me.
And if I take aim at anyone it would be those trying to gut the retirement account that I have paid premiums to for 42 years. I’m nearly ready to take a club to those who call my retirement account a “welfare entitlement” that they can just eliminate. Once they rob my Social Security account I expect they will go after my 401. If the big corporate banks are too big to fail then SS which provides a minimum retirement for 50 million Americans who have paid into it is in the same “too big to fail” category as the Banks.
Unfortunately, we may well find out.
Bull. The weekly want ads never seem to be empty. It may not be the job you want, or wrongly feel you deserve, but there are plenty of jobs out there.
When you’ve walked in the unemployed/underemployed shoes for a while, get back to me.
As I said, been there... Done that. You didn't hear me whining about it or demanding special consideration. I went out and worked hard to find a new job.
You sound like a Democrat. You certainly have all the talking points down...
Who is demanding special consideration? If you are entitled to receive unemployment benefits and can’t find a job, you receive unemployment benefits. Republicans shouldn’t be allowed to receive benefits? If you were making $50K at a job and were laid off, you should take a minimum wage job instead of unemployment benefits? That would just be stupid, wouldn’t it?
Sorry, SS is broke from being raided to fund other welfare projects. People my age can’t count on the Ponzi scheme you are counting on.
Until someone goes to jail for running a Ponzi scheme I will still consider SS to be a contract.
I’ve held up my end. I expect no less from a just Government.
And I was making $65k and found a $70k job to replace it. I had also had saved up a few months worth of pay "just in case". I have also since rebuilt that emergency reserve.
All of which would have been a lot easier to do had the Government not been so concerned with stealing my cash to being with to give to people on "unemployment insurance" for 99 weeks...
It was a contract. They broke it. You get to benefit from it. I will probably pay in for another 20 years and never see a dime.
No thanks.
Twice as many people my age believe in UFOs than believe they'll ever see a dime of Social Security. Anyone with a bit of scientific curiosity would at least admit UFOs might be real, and SS is a dream.
SS is not real. It's the oldest scam in the book, and US government approval doesn't make it any less of one. The only people who should be in jail are long dead. The financial death spiral these pyramid schemes have put our country in will soon lay the republic in a grave along side of them. The idea that any one American should say, 'I held up my end', and hold out their hands expectantly, ... well, no worries. You'll get your money.
You'll all get your money, until the printing presses run dry and the bills are worth less than blank paper. It dooms your grandchildren to poverty and war, but we'll stay warm burning that cash by the fire. And you'll get your money.
So if you are in a car accident, your insurance company should not pay for your car to be repaired since the costs are spread around from premiums from others. I thought that was the purpose of insurance, whether life, health, auto or unemployment. I guess you would refuse “other people’s money”.
Glad you were able to bounce back so quickly. I guess Obama’s economy is working for you.
Sorry, SS is broke from being raided to fund foreign nation building wars.
SS is not broke except in it's projections.
Our country is not all of a sudden so deep in dept because of our elderly. Everyone wants lower taxes...But we are paying trillions for building roads and bridges and other infrastructures in countries that we spent billions to destroy. And we want to cut old age pensions? That's a losing proposition for any Party.
Like Rats to fresh Garbage.......
Great, should I thank you for robbing me?
“SS is not broke except in it’s projections.”
It’s broke. The money that you paid into it is gone, it was spent, probably 25 years ago.
The money that you would be getting now is the money that I’m paying in SS taxes. So you are robbing me.
Hold on there!
Somewhere in Parkersburg, WV there is a filing cabinet with an IOU filed under your name...
