WHAT DO WE SEE THAT OTHERS DO NOT AND WHY DO WE SEE WHAT OTHERS DOE NOT?

Posted on 06/25/2014 12:39:53 PM PDT by 7thson

Wathinc BOR last night - please refrain the usual comments as to why and so on and so on. He spoke with Perino and Alan Colmes. Basic question - is Obama trying to bring the US down on purpose or is it just his policies. Answer from Perino - no, not on purpose, his belief system is just bad. BOR basically agreed.

Now back to my title question - wgat di we see that others do not? Why do we see it? Do those like Perino and BOR actually believe what they spout?

Personnaly - I think it is way past time for people to come around to the conclusion that Obama is purposely destroying this nation. Some time ago, Dennis Miller told BOR not to forget to turn the lights off when he leaves the room of giving Obama the benefit of the doubt. Dogged him for being the last believer of Obama's good intentions - but it seems that there are other RINOs out there who still believe in the mythical goodness of person Obama..

Why do they? Do they actually believe? What is in it for them? What will it take for these people to say this is a evil person bent on our personal destruction? Or are they so afraid of having to say they were wrong that they will continue to have blinders on while the country goes down in flames?

What say you Freepers?

To me, it doesn’t seem very relevant to know with certainty if he is purposely destroying the nation or doing so out of sheer ignorance of reality.

The simple fact that he IS destroying the nation is good enough for me to oppose him at every turn (and there are many twists and turns in this administration.)

He’s black and I’ve been called a racist more times than I can count, when spouting the consequences of his actions.

I went and had an opionectomy.

I feel great!

They don’t want to use that word, ‘evil’. And they don’t want to have to admit that he’s a far-left activist. They’ll call him liberal, but not socialist.

For us, there is no doubt that Barack Obama is indeed a communist, & that ideology is one of evil.

History instructs us on the truth.

It was very simple for me. After he spoke at the Democratic National Convention I looked into his background. The guy was clearly a communist.

I think there are a bunch of reasons:

1. They’re afraid of being labeled racist.

2. They have a personal stake in Obama’s success.

3. They love power over Truth.

4. They have “normalcy bias”, meaning that they think all of what’s going on is really just normal politics, because the alternative is just too scary for them to face.

I’m sure there are other reasons.

Mostly, I think, because the likes of BOR and Perino, even with all that is going on around them are immune financially to what is happening to the rest of us. Therefore they can’t comprehend the situation as we do. The elitists aren’t suffering yet.

Those 4 certainly cover a lot of it (especially #4). Another reason is that it is very hard to "prove" what is going on in someone else's mind. It takes a lot of evidence viewed in context for a case to be made, and it certainly can't be done in these few minute segments on TV. That is why I think these types of segments do more harm than good. JMO.

Merely a semantic difference, IMO. Obama doesn’t think he is “purposely destroying” the country, just “purposely causing chaos in order to SAVE the country by making it more socialist”.

Win! They’re so rich they don’t care. Gas prices, food prices, energy prices ... doesn’t touch them.

Obama is a Chicago Marxist using Alinsky tactics to forward his agenda. And he is doing it by implementing Cloward-Piven.

The explosions ithe Middle East is his Islamic roots.

I think that we have come a VERY LONG way, to get to the point that BOR sees that there is a possibility that the administration is hell-bent on EVIL, and it is not just a series of ineptitudes occurring. And it seems that Rush, Krauthammer, among others, are beginning to vocalize their suspicions that the corruption runs very deep. Most of these commentators have been careful. It makes me think they are starting to see what we see.

[ Answer from Perino - no, not on purpose, his belief system is just bad. BOR basically agreed. ]

Either Normalcy Bias or they do know and are scared that if they admit it they will find their lives are harder...

So they are just blaming his “belief system”...

Millions of people who think they are very smart still have a naïve belief that simply because this is America, certain bad things can’t happen. They don’t realize that America is not immune to, for example, destruction from within. Anyone who knows anything about the people around Obama who have - at one time or another during his entire lifetime - influenced him or associated with him understands that it’s quite unlikely that his worldview could be much different than theirs. His (white) mother and her parents were communists. Frank Marshall Davis - the man Barack’s grandfather brought into to have a black presence in young Barack’s life - was a communist and the subject of a huge FBI file. Obama’s dad a stepfather were Marxists. Then there’s Rashid Khalidi, Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright and countless others; let alone the Muslim background, even attending muslim schools for a while. I considered Obama a communist or marxist until it dawned on me that communists and marxists want their nations to expand or at the very least maintain their power on the world stage. Obama wants to diminish America’s power. That becomes more clear every day. Thus, I now consider Obama a communist infiltrator. There is more evidence of that than otherwise. As president, he gets to (and has to, within the constructs of our weakened U.S. Constitution)do things that make him appear patriotic, or that he has America’s best interests at heart. He has to do that to some extent to maintain any political viability. But, he does not like America and as he promised five days before he was elected in 2008, he has set out to transform the nation — into what he wants it to be and opposite what maybe 85 percent (including most of the brainwashed) of what Americans want it to be. If they only knew.......

When you [generic you] have an attention span of about 11 seconds, the one who can jam an opinion into your brain is the winner. Thinking is hard! The only people who bother with it by choice are by definition people who want to get a leg up on others. They want to seek an advantage, to profit, to exploit others. That’s why they are thinking. But they are inherently predatory.

When you want to understand how things work and view the results of government intervention and you evaluate what people say and compare it to, for example, what they do, and how the results of what they say they want to do actually work out, then you are stuck with battling against that first impression that the first person who saw and fulfilled your 11 second attention span by shoving their bumper sticker slogan in there. There’s no interest in accurately describing reality nor really, anything but the immediate impression created by those first words. All those words have to do is to persist for about 11 seconds. That’s why “for the children” “war on women” racist haters” “Bush’s fault” “Bush lied” etc; etc; etc; And no matter how many damn times those memes are repeated, the people who find them comforting and aligned with their thinking aren’t in the market for finding out the truth, nor are they interested in understanding how things work. They just want to be perceived as in the same group as the other people who get their brains stuffed with bumper sticker slogans so they won’t get laughed at. They love being propagandized: It saves them from having to do all that annoying thinking stuff.

This is how Cochran won. An entire segment of the voting population bought a complete line of obvious bullcrap because it saved them from having to do their own thinking. It is what it is. Who else should morons elect but the chief moron?

You are right, Twotone. It is evil. There is a war going on constantly between the Good (God) and the Evil (Satan)
The Holy Spirit gives some of us the gift of discernment. Why we don not all have that gift, I do not know.
