When looking at Obama and the Administration he leads, it is best to look at the big picture. What we can infer from the Administration's hidden actions is evident most clearly their public actions.
What we see can best be described as "Scandalpalooza", a seeming rock-concert of nonstop scandals. Witness:
This is only a small number of the many burgeoning scandals being committed by these people.
So what are we to conclude, with all the scandals we can see? Like an iceberg, what is visible is only a fraction of the hazard. Like an iceberg, it is what is hidden that kills.
I shall quiz you, dear reader: What was the single most surprising event of 2012, politically? You will probably answer, "Obama's re-election." And you would be wise for selecting this event. Most of America -- Obama included -- was surprised that fateful November 5th, 2012, If you recall, the crowds for Obama's events were sparsely attended, whereas Mitt Romney's events were overflowing. While polls had Obama leading, most of us discounted them due to the perceived (and probably very real) enthusiasm gap that favored Republicans. Even Obama was acting like a man already beaten. his demeanor was hang-dog and depressed in the weeks leading up to the election.
And then the election day happened, and Obama was swept into office, his numbers signalling a very solid victory. While it was short of the "mandate" pundits like to discuss, it was solid.
However, look at the numbers in the Republican voter turnout. They went from 59,948,323 voters in 2008 to 59,134,475 in 2012. While on paper this only looks like a 813,848 shortfall, the fact there was ANY decrease in a growing nation with an energized Republican base is extremely suspicious. One can imagine that the number of votes missing to be more in the order of several million.
No one can convince me that the 2012 Republican turnout count in any way reflected real life. Republicans have never EVER been so energized to get rid of a Democrat president. They may not have been enthusiastic about their candidate, Mitt Romney -- I know I wasn't -- but the desire to rid ourselves of a man who seems to favor Islam at every turn, who has strong socialist tendencies, and took every decision that he could that would harm America, was very strong. No one will ever convince me that the Republican turnout in 2012 was less than the turnout in 2008. It defies all logic.
So what happened? Perhaps this is part of the Obama-iceberg we cannot see at present. It is at least worthy of conjecture, that many Republican votes were 'disappeared' en route to the final tallying location. With electronic voting, such a trick would be child's play.
And even if this is true, this is not the only factor: Obama ran a better 'ground game' in the crucial states, using his vast databases to tap first-time and infrequent voters. Too, we had the IRS suppressing 501-c Political Action Committees. We had, of course, the typical Democrat urban-based voter fraud, whereinwhich people who do not show at the polls still somehow manage to vote, and always for the Democrat.
Nonetheless, the most troubling aspect of the election is the disappearing Republican votes. This, if I am correct, would be the equivalent of a neutron bomb in the Scandalanche we are seeing. This would be the most nefarious and diabolical of all the scandals swirling around the Obama administration.
That is because it would affect elections in the future, most importantly, the midterm election of 2014, in which Obama will be either enabled, or politically castrated.
This is the possible scandal I wish to see most investigated. This is the last deal-breaker in the American Contract. This one must be uncovered.
I think you were spot on in that the GOP vote dropping '08 to '12 is not plausible. Yeah Romney was a weak candidate, but back in '08 you had even a weaker candidiate, coupled with Bush fatigue. It just doesn't pass the red faced test.
All in all Scandalpalooza sums up what I have been saying on other threads. We are seeing an unprecedented historic level of corruption in the Executive Branch that makes Nixon look like a boy scout.
Now the problem of why we are screwed In my young days, this despot would have been railed out.
(1)Now we have a complicit media who all own their own Obama autographed kneepads.
(2)Coupled with an huge entitlement faction who only cares about their welfare check.
(3) 10-15% Moonbatshit crazy left wing loonies who would love nothing less than to turn this country into 1950's USSR.
(4) Racially motivated minorites who would have voted for Hitler in '08 and '12, if he would have been black.
(5) PC based society who lives in fear of appearing racist calling out this incompetent bastard.
(6) GOP has blame too, shoving weak RINO candidates down our throat. Good thing these same weak links weren't around back in '80, or we would have had Nelson Rockefeller on the ticket. And don't even get me started on the Immigration Bill of 2013, which needs to be changed to the GOP Suicide Bill of 2013.
Very trying times, I needed a rant.
The problem with your exhortation is that I am a big wuss, a simpering pussbunny that is terribly easy to spook; and if I am startled, I end up under the table in the fetal position, trembling, my mouth wide open in a silent scream and my eyes wide in terror, covered by cold sweat and usually lying in a puddle of my own sick.
Well written, friend. Might even be grist for another editorial. Peace to you and love in your life.
Thanks for reminding me....
Nice turn of a phrase. As an avid artisan of the English language, I appreciate it greatly!
Yaaaay! Glad to be on your list.
Hate to say it, but I think the America being passed on to your grandkids, nieces and nephews is already different from the one we grew up in. I know it's definitely different from the one my parents grew up in (dad, stepdad and several uncles all served in WWII/Korea and in all branches of the service except the Coast Guard). Although I miss them, in a way I'm thankful they're not here to see what they fought for has become.
You are STILL the 206th Satisfied Customer!™
But you'll have your rifle with you, right?
No. Guns are scary.
The men in your family were from a time when men were men.The men who fought those wars and the men who led those troops were men for the most part who learned to shoot, to hunt and fish, to wrestle and box and play sports, were Christian and moral. That ideal has been all but stamped out.Boys are taught to ‘’feel’’(which is really the concept of self-doubt).I really don’t want to be around much longer. There is something coming on the horizon and I feel it ain;t good.
LOL!
Well, we won't talk about my black-sheep uncle ;-) ... but you're right about the rest of it and they did all that. They were all masculine -- not the phony macho put-on, but just normal men -- or what we would have considered "normal" for the time, traits that are being bred out of the kids today.
I guess that’s what our parents and grandparents meant when they used to say of someone who was ‘’normal’’,as ‘’he’s a good egg’’.
