“The Great”? In his own mind.
Sounds like American Thinker has gone Socialist.
Obama may well be infamously remembered as the architect of America’s destruction.
Obama is dumber than donuts.
Our president has never been more than an epigone of a great man.
defintion: epigone, a second-rate imitator or follower
Obama will be remembered as either the pinnacle at the end of our great experiment or remembered as the end of Americas lost decade and eventual revival. It is up to us.
F U B O
If we're lucky, that will turn out to be true. If we're lucky, Obama will be forgotten as a benign historical footnote, a real life Inspector Clouseau, over his head and bumbling, but harmless. I think it's far more likely that Obama will be the most studied, most storied, and most featured villain in historical accounts of the fall of the last great hope of western civilization. Obama will be our Caligula and Nero, with an intellect just short of Roman "Senator" Incitatus'.
If by Socialist you mean straight to the point and hit the nail on the head.
Obama "is an arrogant, hyper-partisan, race-baiting, committed socialist -- a man whose deliberate attempts to transform the nation into a banana republic, with pictures of himself on the side of every building, have been thwarted only by his need to win one more election."
Is there anyone with a smidgeon of intelligence, perception or common sense, who is not a racist, a communist or a socialist, who didn't clearly understand this before Obama the America hating racist was elected?
Obama I The Incompetent
My hope is that this sorry sack of excrement lives a long life - exposed as the fake that he is - wandering the nation in loincloths, fearful of being pelted with dog poop, plugging his ears to filter the profanities being hurled at his sorry cretinistic caricature by all who see him.
I loathe, dispise, spit upon, and generally could give less than half a sh*t about this ....this.....thing.
Obama and his administration believe that they are superior to the little people, us. They feel they should rule, and we should shut up and follow. They think they know how the world should be, and they are putting those ideas into practice. Sadly, less than ten percent of Obama’s people have had had any real world jobs. Instead of making the world a better place, they are quickly destroying the world we have and replacing it with a failed nation.
For example, we need cleaner cars, so they build a volt with our money. The volt is overpriced and won’t go very far. Using our money to make something that is useless is a form of stealing. That’s what Obama and his gang are doing, stealing everything they can but most of all our future.
Recent events, and this President's over-reaching actions, have triggered a very public, citizen, involvement in a battle of ideas which has been going on for decades! The problem is that, until now, most Americans went about their business and ignored it.
Today, they are engaged and beginning to learn the difference between two conflicting ideas--individual freedom versus coercive government control. America's Founders identified the conflicting ideas as liberty versus tyranny.
Abraham Lincoln:
"The world has never had a good definition of the word 'liberty.' And the American people just now are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not mean the same thing . . . . The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act . . . . Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty."
But Lincoln could distinguish between real liberty and a counterfeit idea.
Of the American idea, Lincoln declared:
"Most governments have been based practically, on the denial of the rights of men. Ours began by affirming those rights . . . . [These opposing ideas] are the two principles that have stood face to face from the beginning of time; and will ever continue to struggle . . . . It [denial of individual Creator-endowed rights] is the same principle in whatever shape it develops itself. . . it is the same tyrannical principle."
Of the Founding principle, Lincoln said: ". . . it is no child's play to save the principles of Jefferson from total overthrow in this nation. . . .The principles of Jefferson are the definitions and axioms of free society . . . And yet, they are denied, and evaded, with no small show of success. . . All honor to Jefferson - to the man who, in the concrete pressure of a struggle for national independence by a single people, had the coolness, forecast, and capacity to introduce in a . . . revolutionary document, an abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times, and so to embalm it there, that today, and in all coming days, it shall be a rebuke and a stumbling-block to the very harbingers [initiators of threatening change] of reappearing tyranny and oppression."
Today's news is about an "initiator of threatening change" running head-on into the "abstract truth" of the "revolutionary document" that Creator-endowed rights, protected by the "People's" Constitution, are "unalienable" and not to be infringed upon by a President.
Yes, the battle of ideas is re-engaged in America today, in a manner not seen for decades.
American citizens are utilizing the new technologies that allow them to read the Founders' ideas in many collections online such as those at Liberty USA Foundation, WallBuilders, and in new books, such as Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny." They are returning to the Founders' own explanations of their Constitution in THE FEDERALIST essays and to 1987's Bicentennial Year volumes such as "Our Ageless Constitution." See
As in Lincoln's day, the "wolves" who try to fool the people into believing their definition of liberty is authentic are being exposed for the charlatans they are--mere men who wish to accumulate and exercise power over the lives of millions.
They are being exposed by the "self-evident truths" "embalmed" in that revolutionary document described by Lincoln.
Citizens can read the Founders' intent that ours is not a government's Constitution to limit people. Rather, it is "We, the People's" Constitution to be used, according to Jefferson, to "bind them (government) down by the chains of the Constitution."
What we are seeing now is a battle between forces who have "one charismatic, but mere mortal man" (Krauthammer),out there carrying the water for changing that concept in the minds of citizens who, they thought, had been dumbed down by decades of neglect and censorship of the ideas of liberty.
Providence may have outwitted them by allowing the development of technologies that make the Founders' ideas a powerful tool in the new battle.
An honest, mainstream history would describe obama as an abject failure at best or simply anti-American. However, I don’t expect any honest, mainstream histories to be published in my lifetime.
I had to look that one up. Means a second rate copy or imitator.
