President Obama's pitch for a military strike in Syria looked so politically clueless that he left supporters and foes alike scratching their heads: What was he thinking? For some, the answer was obvious. Because every conspiracy theory ever concocted about the President from him being a secret Muslim agent sent from Kenya to take over the government to gay-sex-and-cocaine binges in the backseats of limousines all make perfect sense if you simply accept the foundational supposition that Obama hates America.
In a Wall Street Journal op-ed on Sunday, Norman Podhoretz argued that Syria showed the swift collapse of American global influence, which was all part of Obama's plan."His foreign policy, far from a dismal failure, is a brilliant success as measured by what he intended all along to accomplish," Podhoretz wrote. This international success follows Obama's great domestic success, which he concealed by "singing the praises of the free-enterprise system he was assiduously working to undermine." On Monday, Rush Limbaugh picked up this idea and ran with it. "[Obama's] always able to convince people he's trying to build this country, he's trying to save this country, trying to revitalize it, while he's doing just the exact opposite," Limbaugh said. By Thursday, Limbaugh was linking the Syria controversy to every other piece of the Obama agenda. Americans are "so appalled and opposed to Obamacare, Obama's economic policies, amnesty, illegal immigration with impunity," Limbaugh said, "because it is a direct assault on the very foundation and fundamentals of the creation and the founding of this country."
Tying Obama's diplomatic embarrassment to all his other policies is easy, because all Obama conspiracy theories rest on the same idea. That Obama is a secret Muslim, or a secret Kenyan, or a religion-hating atheist, or a black radical...

It’s pretty simple. He just doesn’t like us.
How can I hurt America
His goal is to reduce America to a third rate status, and his incompetency is just making it too noticeable to everyone, especially embarrassing his American communist/leftist allies in accomplishing it.
I’d love to see the enemedia tantrum if enough Democrats got fed up enough to impeach the turkey.
Dream on........
Obama was hired as the glib charismatic spokesperson by a group of people whose goal was to throw a monkey wrench in the machinery of the US and cripple it beyond repair. And so far it’s working beyond their wildest expectations.
Yup. And he’s beginning to piss off a few. Even his greatest supporters in the unions. My guess is now he’s going to have to carve out even more ObamaCare exemptions to satisfy them. ObamaCare is a great example of his idiocy/incompetence. Biggest government boondoggle in our lifetimes.
Whatever happened to equal protection under the law?
Obama, Reid, Pelosi (aided by Roberts, Boehner, McConnell, McCain) et al, have just about destroyed the final remnants of our constitution.
The next three years are going to be hell, then I pray we can regroup and rebuild from the ashes. Praying Putin, Iran, China don’t take advantage of the weakened America in the meantime.
Yes, pray the democrats wake up in time and impeach him. But then, of course, we have the next clown in line to deal with.
0bama hates America but he’s not smart enough to destroy it by himself. However, his handlers are that smart. And they hate America too.
0bama is an empty suit; useful because he’s a “true believer” in the cause.
Every opinion disseminated by our government and the MSM is a variation on the story “The Emperor’s New Clothes” by Hans Christian Anderson. The fraud continues because anyone who tells the truth is immediately attacked as ignorant, racist, etc.
The authors put together an attractive, but meaningless, chart to enhance their dishonest article but it all boils down to the same thing. They use personal attacks and ridicule to discredit good people and prevent them from telling the truth.
Gee, you don’t think Putin is taking advantage of this right now, do you?
How did America become so rotten that we allowed this to happen?
I certainly wouldn't want to have to defend the opposing supposition in a debate.
With this administration, any truth is a “conspiracy theory”.
Yup. Putin is feeling us out now. Look for Iran to get more aggressive too. Especially with Putin’s backing. And China. They have some certain territory they’d like to acquire. And North Korea. And all of the Middle East that’s already going up in flames anyway. Obama is a total disaster anyway you look at it.
The islamofascist and communist ideas coincide insofar as destroying any free nations is concerned. So he hasn’t had to struggle too much yet with their ultimate disagreements. Those can wait until we’re all weakened, demoralized, impoverished, disarmed, and thoroughly subjugated. But you’re correct that ultimately his two themes (communism and islamofascist) will have to face off. But it will only be a decision on the details of just how we’ll be ruled by the tyranny in power. And details can wait. Right now he’s still installing the tyranny.

Right now he’s still busy installing the tyranny. At home too, not only a road.
He has said so and written it also. Who but the ignorant and uninformed among us didn’t see this?
