Excellent opening statement. It makes you want to read the entire article.
‘“But listening to him speak, it’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform,” said Palin at the 2008 Republican convention while she was accepting the spot as vice president on the McCain ticket.’
To whit:
From the man whose voice sounds reassuring
Completely firm and so alluring, Like’s he’s lived a thousand times before
And seen the world from shore to shore
With the calmness and tranquility that oozes credibility
With the wisdom and the confidence that seem to scream out common sense
And it makes you feel just like a babe
Daddy holding you tight and safe
Hush babe everything’s all right, Daddy’s gonna stay with you tonight
Now he’s got you by the balls, he can sell you anything at all
From morality to diamond rings to genocide to magazines
From religion to cosmology to the end of a democracy
- Danny Elfman, Oingo Boingo, “New Generation”
The rest of the song is equally germane to the Obamination. http://www.boingo.org/lyrics/NewGeneration.html
Obama can be more rightly seen as the last stand of rigid ideologues who think they can make the world conform to their wishes rather than to its nature-
Unfortunately, 0bama was born 95 years too late. Joseph and Vladamir would have been so proud of their boy.

Sadly, there is no such thing as a benign government of technocrats and academics. They may believe that they mean well, but the very foundations of their ideology—that you institutionally place the welfare of the group ahead of the welfare of the individuals within the group—inevitably leads to the destruction of individual liberty. Once the population begins to feel the pain it becomes intransigent forcing the so-called benign government to move toward totalitarianism. Consider the shift from legislation to regulation and executive order.
Obama's ideology has been tried over and over in history and has always failed. If that does not come to pass in our situation, we have only God and the wisdom of our founders to thank. I fear that if it does come to pass we will have ourselves to thank.
Obama is one of those guys who can talk a good fight, but put him in the ring, and he’s trying to crawl out under the ropes.
Sure Hussein is good at strutting around, eating waygu beef, making pronouncements, bowing to foreign dictators and potentates, spending our money, destroying the economy, weakening our defenses, unsealing our borders, running guns to mexico, issuing edicts for us peasants to follow BUT
Every day he must wake up in fear that he will be exposed as the fraud he is and shown to be a usurper! and
it's obvious he didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express because he's NEVER shown that he is even a little adept at playing president!
Fantastic article, excellent.
