I dislike Obama, because I can see no honor in him.
He is a pure Marxist who seeks to destroy the American Dream.
Wait a minute.....since when has the Tea Party been about anything theological? This guy is projecting his beliefs about what the Tea Party is about. Did I miss the Tea Party talking about abortion? Less spending is not a religious issue.
Obama is like an invasive cancer in the lower extremities.
He is politically manufactured, a blanked out past, investigators into his past eliminated almost weekly, opponents are demoralized from battling faux legal battles and then branded a “quitter”.
He is the fruits of success of an organization counter to what built America. And they are going to be very hard to eradicate unless everyone gets with the program.
The ONLY thing accurate is that Romney-the-RINO is the least Conservative of the group.
The TRUTH is that the GOP-e, and the complicit State-Run-Media, systematically destroyed through innuendo and false (annonymously-sourced) smears, beginning in 2007 with Sarah Palin, and continuing with EVERY challenger that was NOT a GOP-e pick, or DNC-wanted opponent for The Messiah.
There is NO way, in my lifetime, to see the Constitutional Intent restored, save if a CWII or Revolution occurs, period.
Ya wanna know why, YA WAANA KNOW WHY?!! Because none of the them, not one saw the cause bigger than themselves... Romney played them, and none of them was willing to throw their support behind one of the others... conservatives got played because there was no real sacrifice to a cause, they all wanted to be leaders of the cause... so Mitt beat them like a drum...
SSSTTTTRRRRIIIKKKKKEEEEE ONE, swing and a miss by the author.
The derision of Obama as the Messiah/the Anointed One, etc. has to do with the media's treatment of Obama, and how EVERY story, every mere mention of his name, resulted in the media fawning adoringly at how he was this "transcendent" character whose every thought and motive need not be questioned, but is obviously for the greater good. No vetting, because he was Obama!
“What makes this so damaging and dangerous is that cynicism breeds only cynicism...”
I don’t agree with author AT ALL.
Americans sorely need a healthy dose of cynicism!
Their breezy, giddy and irresponsible approach to the selection of ‘Pepsi commercial’ type personalities to lead the greatest power in the known universe has lacked gravitas for as long as I can remember.
Even if you disregard the current, most objectionably unqualified President in our history... and just consider the intellectual and professional light-weights like Gore, Kerry, Edwards who were considered previously, it’s proof positive of American voters’ lack of wholesome cynicism requisite in the selection of Presidential candidates.
The DNC has an absolutely free hand here. I would be willing to bet that most Liberals exercise more mature cynicism in the purchase of a car or big screen TV than they do in the consideration of Presidential nominees!
“...you’ll discover a world of confusion and ambivalence...”
The Tea Party is neither! We are focused on the Constitution and the restoration of America, from the regulatory abyss Obama has created.
“The hope he offers is grounded in the possibility that human institutions can be expressions of the common good.”
Obama “offers” NO “hope” and what he pretends to offer certainly isn't “grounded” in anything but hatred for America.
Mouthing the words is NOT the same as having the capacity to “offer” anything.
“...isn't’ just that he’s a black man....”...Race has NOTHING to do with anything! How do you explain Alan West?
What's not to hate about liberalism, that preaches the destruction of America and freedom from responsibility and consequences.
“It’s also that he’s so much better than any Republican at articulating “that hopey changey stuff,”
How does the author conclude that nebulous platitudes successfully masquerade as “articulating”?
Suggesting that the government will steal from the productive job creators and redistribute the proceeds to the unmotivated is NOT “articulating” anything beyond vote buying via class warfare.
“But the Tea Party has only its cynicism...” No, Theo, we have ANSWERS, which focus on the return to the Constitution and personal responsibility, minimum government intrusion on our lives, elimination of regulatory strangulation of our business and industry.
They long for a Reagan-style message of hope and possibility. What they get is…Mitt Romney
Can't argue with this statement, though!
IOW we do hate him because he's a black man, among other reasons.
Race-baiting POS.
Theo, Theo, Theo — you don’t have a clue-o, clue-o, clue-o.
I searched in vain for a single paragraph in that article that did not contain an error. Most paragraphs were based upon an error.
I want my five minutes back.
This article is nothing but a bunch of BS. The author doesn’t have a clue about the Tea Party, Republicans, or conservatives.
We don’t want a Messiah. We just want someone who will uphold the U.S. Constitution and a government that will live within its means like the rest of us are required to do.
Ah, yes, (t)hat power of accurate observation which is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it. ~ George Bernard Shaw
You believe this crap?
#1 0bama does not have Reaganesque delivery or content.
#2 0bama does NOT deliver the hopey changey stuff better than Reagan.
In the final analysis, I dislike 0bama because he disliked me first. I am an American. 0bama hates Americans.
I always find it amusing that liberals have to find some deep psychological meaning to the dislike of Obama. Heaven forfend that it be just straight forward antipathy to his policies
What a load of crap.
I found Newt’s speeches to be very optimistic.
Energy independence. New royalties by allowing our energy companies to drill for new oil and gas, enough in fact to pay off the government debt during the next generation. Think of the great future our children and grandchildren could have! With energy independence, we could begin to ignore those people in the middle east that hate us.
Saving Social Security through privatization using the Chile example. Now that’s hope for the future. imo. I wish I could have signed up for a system like that 40 years ago. I wish my son could sign up for a system like that now.
It’s too bad that the GOP-e and Romney beat him down the way they did.
As for Mr. Obama, there’s no hope like that in his actions. With his agenda, we’re headed down the PIIGS road. It’s as plan as day. The PIIGS example is right in our faces. Our children and grandchildren face a dismal future with the likes of Obama and the GOP-E. It’s as simple as that.
The country is on the threshold of fiscal collapse and the only think Obama has to offer is new spending programs.
When the country descends into violent chaos EVERYONE will be hating the name Obama.
