Obama: The Symptom of What's Ailing America
The Radio Patriot ^ | May 21, 2010 | Andrea Shea King

Reader Larry G at Hot Air left this comment, saying that he's trying to pass it around. Well, Larry, I'm here to help.

Think about this, America...

Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way you can understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. We have a lot of work to do.

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.”

“The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.

The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

That is why I fear America is lost...too many people are ignorant or stupid enough to put men such as Obama into power.

obama got into power because he marketed himself as a centrist, Christian, census building person. He has anything but these characteristics and is destroying any creditability for his party. I only hope he doesn’t destroy America in the meantime.

That's a play on the old Marcus Tullius Cicero quote:

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.

Exactly.

It is for this reason that I doubt that any real or lasting “revolution” will take place this November. The moral strength needed to stay the course - assuming that a major shift to the right takes place at all - is rapidly fading from the citizenry. The same people who elected this fool are expected to now reverse the unfolding catastrophe that is overtaking the nation.

I have several relatives and friends that voted for Obamao and are now deeply regretting it - however, the fact that sane and supposedly rational, intelligent people could get suckered by this narcissistic serial liar is more troubling to me than the idiots who will vote like idiots regardless of who is running.Hitler came to power in much the same way.

Here are three of the root causes of our national epidemic of ignorance: (1) a heavily biased, left-wing media, (2) an insidious "educational system" that indoctriates rather than teaches, and (3) an amoral movie industry that trashes American values at every turn.

“narcissistic serial liar”

Very accurate description IMO.

In order for society to function there is a natural presumption that much (or most) of what we are told is true. If we assume everything is a lie, then we can no longer communicate.

Traditionally, politicians have parsed their words carefully and told occasional whoppers. But never before has America witnessed an entire political party that always lies. This is something new. People thought that at least part of what Obama campaigned on was true. They were wrong.

Matters are complicated by the fact that the mainstream media are complicit in the lies.

Agreed.....

.....The signs were all there.

.....We on the Conservative side tried in vain to alert them.

......They voted Zero anyway.

It was a head strong mule vote in the wrong direction just to prove something. They weren't hearing any of the talk about Ayers, Rev. Wright, Obama's socialist leanings, etc. It's as if they voted for him to spite those who were saying electing him would be a mistake. That is troubling.

The "sane and supposedly rational, intelligent people" weren't suckered, they did it on purpose. But what they got was not what they expected.
