End of the Age of Obama
Weekly Standard ^ | 11/10/14 | JAY COST

Posted on 10/31/2014 4:57:59 PM PDT by Libloather

**SNIP**

We are seeing this play out right now. Obama’s coalition in 2008 was relatively large—at 53 percent of the vote—but unstable. In a country as vast and diverse as ours, all such coalitions are bound to be unstable. And what we have seen is Republicans poach a critical mass of the Obama vote away, in 2010 and likely in 2014, to foil his agenda. Just as Madison might have expected.

It is well known that this president likes to golf and watch hipster favorites like Game of Thrones, so he probably is too busy to read dusty old books about men who lived long ago. But those who aspire to succeed this sterling mediocrity in the White House would do well to spend their free time a little differently.

We would suggest a careful study of the words and deeds of the Founding generation. There is much to learn from Madison’s complex philosophy, Alexander Hamilton’s innovative economic program, George Washington’s careful and steady management, and Thomas Jefferson’s pragmatic policy of conciliation. Let’s hope our next president grasps that you have to respect our past to lead us effectively into the future.

The worst part is he’ll make so much from his POTUS pardons in Jan 2017 that he’ll never need another dollar in his life. Will make the Clintons look like small change.

He is very successful. He promised to “transform” America. The criminal has done so quite well...and he has two lawless years to complete that destructive “transformation”. Everything this traitor does innintentional.

the pubbie consultants are already putting it out that if they take over the senate you shouldn’t expect any changes. They don’t have the votes. Ever hear that before?

I agree.

Its terribly sad but America has changed for the worse. With the left entirely in charge of the school system, spoon feeding kids garbage what else can you expect.

I really don’t see us getting back to where we were.

Republicans have to win BIG just to get a bare majority. What people are not counting is all of the voter fraud that the polls don't show. Dems win on voter fraud. Every close race will be a Dem win after the counting ends.

Our next president is well versed in the founding fathers:

Cruz’s senior thesis on the separation of powers, titled “Clipping the Wings of Angels,” draws its inspiration from a passage attributed to President James Madison: “If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.” Cruz argued that the drafters of the Constitution intended to protect the rights of their constituents, and the last two items in the Bill of Rights offered an explicit stop against an all-powerful state. Cruz wrote: “They simply do so from different directions. The Tenth stops new powers, and the Ninth fortifies all other rights, or non-powers.”[31][36]

The GOP’s main job will be to help zippy and his clown posse forge a legancy for this imposter. When you are born balless you can never grow another pair. Let us now reach across the isle and work with the criminals who have destroyed America for the last 8 years.

“I don’t see us getting back to where we were.”

Progressives in the electorate would give up being
“brilliant, intellectual geniuses” if they left the Progressive plantation and turn into knuckle-dragging, bible-thumping, gun-loving, Christian morons; can’t have that, can they.

IMHO

Let’s hope our next president grasps that you have to respect our past to lead us effectively into the future. There is much to learn from a careful study of the words and deeds of the Founders ....Madison’s complex philosophy, Alexander Hamilton’s innovative economic program, George Washington’s careful and steady management, and Thomas Jefferson’s pragmatic policy of conciliation.

Not likely......thanks to Boobamba's calculated immigration policies.

THIRD WORLD INFILTRATION College Board exams changed US history answers... revisionist historians developed different answers to the question of what America’s story is about. From their perspective, at the heart of our country’s history—like the history of any other powerful nation—lies the pursuit of empire, of dominion over others. At its core, say the revisionists, America’s history is about our capacity for self-delusion, our endless attempts to justify raw power grabs with pretty fairy-tales about democracy. ....

NOTE WELL: This terrifying Third World revisionism is straight out of Third World textbooks---emphasizing the T/W effort to undermine US ntl security for the coming armed takeover.

The conniving T/W uses an ancient formula going back to Greco-Roman times---where savages, barbarians and thieves overrun a bountiful country lusting after its power and riches.

REFERENCE Some 10 years back, Texas schools started used Mexican textbooks for their backward illiterate Spanish-speaking students. Textbooks advocated the Mexican perspective including:

<><> anti-white, anti-capitalist anti-USA viewpoints;

<><> Mexican textbooks falsified US history,

<><> proselytized blood-thirsty La Raza savagery;

<><> using teaching as brainwashing;

<><> inculcating violent separatist, latino supremacy idealogy.

=================================================

The WH ding-a-ling's obsession w/ emptying out the Third World into the US is turning US schools into refugee camps........w/ big plans to inculcate the savage illiterates w/ hate-America, anti-American ideology....IOW reliable Democrat voters.

==============================================

REALITY CHECK A primetime network news segment focused on an "impoverished" latino mother who paid big bucks to get her/ son coached to take the College Boards---but he was so stupid, he still couldn't pass them. So the C/B decided to "change" them so that Pedro could pass using subversive Third World hate-filled US history.

=================================================

LA RAZA TEXTBOOKS USED IN ARIZONA---TEACH HATE-AMERICA WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS La Raza Studies do not even try to sugar-coat its anti-America agenda and its bloodthirsty plans to kill off Americans: Raza Studies textbook “Occupied America,” by Rodolfo Acuña, includes a violent and blood-curdling speech given by university professor Jose Angel Gutierrez: “We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by that is, if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him,” (pg. 323).

The following is taken directly from La Raza's Occupied America (pg. 167): “.......execute all white males over age 16,” (AKA the Plan of San Diego).

America-hating Raza Studies teach (1) violence, (2) undermining US ntl security, and, (3) the need for Mexico to "re- take seven states in the Southwest...in order to make the SW a Chicano nation. "

SCHOOL BOARD NUT CASES Adelita Grijalva is the woman on the Arizona school board pimping La Raza indoctrination programs in Tuscon schools. Adelita is all up in arms about Raza Studies getting tossed via the AZ state legislature's action...she is the daughter of Raul Grijalva (D-AZ-7).

Cong Raul Grijalva is one of Mexico’s most productive and loyal Fifth Column in the US Congress....aiding and abetting the latino criminal underworld, colluding to take back the SW, and loot and pillage the US treasury.

Raul and friend.

==============================================

NAME OF THE GAME Taking over US culture---decimating US history.

Subversive Texas Textbooks---distributed nationwide--- vilify conservative groups
Breitbart Texas | 09/10/2014 | Merrill Hope / FR Posted by Rusty0604

In 2006, uber-liberal "Texas Rising" stated its mission: "developing an emerging generation of social justice-minded, informed and engaged leaders is essential to the long-term health of our communities and the development of progressive public policy in Texas."

...a sneak peak at the preliminary Social Studies textbook findings TTT has found including distortions, omissions and half- truths all passing for accurate high school history..."The radical right consists of groups that sometimes gather under the flag of militant anticommunism."

"Often known as reactionaries, they denounce most forms of government regulation, including progressive taxation and restrictions and industry. Strangely enough, these radicals would not hesitate to use the government's police power to enforce the changes they desire. Examples of political groups on the radical right are the John Birch Society, the National States & Rights party, The Christian Crusade, and the Tea Party movement."

Did you hear about a little boy maybe 1st or 2nd grade who brought home a history lesson about how racists the founders are especially those represented on Mt. Rushmore? It had a picture of Mt. Rushmore and a paragraph on each of the men about how they are racists and woman haters. Courtesy of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakan's group.

When the teacher was confronted with the parents outrage, she replied, "that was not supposed to go home with the student."

“this sterling mediocrity in the White House”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
That amounts to praising with faint damns! To call him a mediocrity is to miss the point entirely. It is like calling a steaming cow pie a mediocre dessert.
