Obama has not destroyed our values.
Obama’s presidency is the result of us having lost our values, as a nation.
Quite right. Obama is more a symptom of the disease than the actual disease.
Agree 100%
That is absolutely correct. What many on this website don’t seem to get is that the problem with Obama isn’t with Obama, its with a largely degenerate and debased electorate that put him into office twice. I think the real problem is that most Americans, FREEPERs included, believe or cling to the belief that “most” of their fellow countrymen believe in the same core values they do.
That just isn’t true anymore and to the extent that it isn’t true anymore, Obama and his ilk succeed at the ballot box with the simple strategy of promising “free” stuff or higher/better or special status to their supporters.
Its genuinely hard to tell anymore what proportion, “normal” or “traditional values”, hard working, “family values”, Americans make up the general population. Obviously, it isn’t large enough to stop the populist train wreck the Democrat party has become and I think that’s because in practically all and everyone of the major metropolitan areas, success in life and especially in politics depends on one’s allegiance and standing with the local Democrat party. So, it becomes necessary to pander to the panderers that pander to the “sitz” class that munches daily on pork rinds, talking on their Obama phones from their sofas in their free apartments with a refrigerator full of free food.
The GOP, RINOs and Tea Party types included are really so far behind the curve they just don’t get it. The Country Club RINO’s continue to court and represent big business and the Tea Party types attempt to appeal to those who hold conservative values. But in a Big Government/Central controlled economy, Big Business takes second fiddle to the Big Sugar Daddy Government and the Tea Party doesn’t make any inroads with the proportion of the electorate that doesn’t have any values whatsoever except the pursuit of “free stuff”.
It really is a very sad situation for the traditional values people because in a very real sense, I suspect that they find themselves waking up in a country with a society they don’t recognize anymore.
