VANITY: My Mom, age 70, continues to idolize Obama...
self | 10/5/12

Posted on 10/05/2012 11:49:16 AM PDT by SilvieWaldorfMD

... even after his DISASTROUS performance during the debate.

She's Italian (came to this country at age 14 in 1956), and I just have a feeling that she misses Mussolini in some way and sees POTUS as a somewhat Mussolini-like figure. She's been all about "social justice" in recent years.

She's been retired for over 10 years and receives an average pension. She's by no means "rich". Very middle class, and dare I say perhaps even lower middle class...

In 2008, she supported Hillary until the very end, and eventually settled with Obama when he got the nomination. She LOVES him and his wife and the entire Obama family.

I cannot comprehend this.

If someone is still stupid enough to vote for this atrocity a 2nd time then they should move to Venezuela, Cuba or some other hell hole that already sees eye to eye with thier stupidity.

Tell your Mom to quit screwing around with my money, my family and my country!! Stay in bed on election day!

I have two neighbors who are both 79. One is on cancer treatment for 4 years now & the other just had very expensive back surgery. They were both staunch democrats, but guess what? They are both voting for Romney!

My aunt (and godmother) was an Obama fan. Around the time Obamacare was passed, we talked by phone and she was gushing about how wonderful it was going to be. I set her straight and told her if she didn't believe me, she should do her own research. Now my aunt knows nothing about computers or the internet, but she went to her local library and, with the librarian's help, actually looked it all up.

Ever since, the mere mention of “Obama” gives her fits.

Let’s see, I’d mention to her “death panels”, 718 billion being cut from medicare, and medicare advantage being cut.

Death panels might get her attention.

But if she loved Mussolini, she might still stick with the usurper.

You must kill her before she votes.

She’s your mom. There’s nothing you can do about it. Certainly try to influence her if you can, but it sounds as though you can’t. So whatever. Live a happy life, vote right, influence the people that you can.

A friend of mine is having the same problem with his mom that has spent so many years owned by the UAW that she can't shake off the whole evil Republican falacy. I told him to get her to the Dinesh Desousa movie

Loving him and his family is a bad reason to vote for him. We are not looking for people to like and love and go to dinner with. We are not looking for royalty to admire. We are hiring someone to do a very specific job with a set of specific skills. Does she choose who to attend to health needs or who to repair her car and so forth based on how she FEELS about them or their family members? Idolizing leaders in a personal way is so last century, and century before that and so on. It leads to no good place...not ever. Surely she loves you even more.Would she then vote for you if the election were between you and Obama? If not, ask, why not? It could be revealing to her.

Take her to a gay rights celebration and let her see the debauchery. Or how about showing her a video on how an abortion is performed. With due respect to your mother, these people sound noble but they don't have a clue as to what they're talking about. And if they can still hold the same views after witnessing these things, quite frankly I wouldn't want anything to do with them. I've written off a number of people this way.

My 86 year-old mom enjoys trimming tree branches in her yard with her electric chain saw. The only thing she’d enjoy more is turning it on Zero’s scrawny arse if he ever got within the reach of the extension cord.

“Death panels might get her attention.”

***

I’ve tried that. Doesn’t work. The true believers don’t believe the death panels will happen.

She....receives an average pension. She's by no means "rich". Very middle class, and dare I say perhaps even lower middle class...

Does she have doctors that she likes? Does she realize more and more doctors are either not accepting new Medicare patients, or not accepting them at all?

Tell her you need to take half of her monthly pension to pay for someone else's (who doesn't have a pension) out-of-pocket healthcare costs, groceries and iPhone.

Hitler promised social justice and look what happened. Does your mom care about her children’s futures and their children’s futures? Because if 0bama gets four more years THEY’LL BE ENSLAVED TO THE GOVERNMENT’S DEBT THROUGH EXCESSIVE TAXATION WHICH WILL DESTROY THEIR LIVELIHOODS.

Ask her why she came to America in the first place. It wasn’t because of commie govt, it was to get away from it and to experience freedom. With Obama she’s getting what her family ran from.

My mother is the same, as is my MIL. Devout Christians, yet you can’t tell them anything. They won’t listen. They deny everything and keep their eyes shut and their hands over their ears. Like children.

Obama’s books:
In a sane world, having the following comments out in print via Obama’s racist books would have knocked him out of the running for president of the United States.(they would have crucified a white candidate for far less)

From Dreams from My Father,“ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”. Barack Hussein Obama

From ‘Dreams from my Father’,“The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, THE OTHER RACE (WHITE) WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT: MENACING, ALIEN, AND APART.” Barack Hussein Obama

From Dreams from My Father:“THAT HATE HADN’T GONE” he wrote, BLAMING “WHITE PEOPLE — some CRUEL, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.” Barack Hussein Obama

From ‘Dreams from My Father’,“There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote.“It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT and name names” Barack Hussein Obama

From The Audicity of Hope: To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The MARXIST PROFESSORS and structural feminists.”

Then there is his love of Islam:

Quote from Barack Obama’s book, Dreams Of My Father:
“THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL, THOUGH, WAS MY [half brother], ROY..HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM”.

From ‘Dreams of my Father’,“IN INDONESIA, I SPEND TWO YEARS AT A MUSLIM SCHOOL”“..I STUDIED THE KORAN..”

From ‘Audacity of Hope:“LOLO (Obama’s step father) FOLLOWED ISLAM....”I LOOKED TO LOLO FOR GUIDANCE”.

From ‘The Audacity Of Hope,“I WILL STAND WITH THEM (MUSLIMS) SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS OF WAR SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION..”
.
From The Audacity Of Hope,“WE ARE NO LONGER JUST A CHRISTIAN NATION, we are also a Jewish nation, a MUSLIM NATION, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”
__________
Don’t believe it? Think these comments taken ‘out of context’? Here it all here in his own works;
http://www.youtube.com/watch ......
Obama mocks, makes fun of the Bible:
http://www.youtube.com/watch ......
__________
Still need convincing?
