I see an E you didn’t see.
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.
Personnaly - I see wgat BOR was Wathinc wgat di Vietnam.
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.
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”.
[ 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?
Spell check is your friend.
BOR’s schtick is to be the “thoughtful” moderate. It means anything that is too, uh, radical is not a position he will take. I figured this out when he came down on the Swift Boat vets.
He doesn’t say what he believes. He says what he thinks will bolster his brand, which is the “thoughtful moderate”.
Even though there is no such thing.
Dr. Krauthammer Agrees With Us: Obama Greases the Skids of American Decline

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I just told the broadcast engineer I wasn't gonna do this sound bite now, but now I'm gonna do it.
Last night on the Fox News Channel, The O'Reilly Factor, the guest was Dr. Krauthammer. I only say it that way 'cause Henry Kissinger said it that way to me once. He kept talking to me one time about the great Krauthammer column that he liked and, you know, me I'm a student of voices, so it just stick with me. I don't say it to disparage anybody. Just to be flexible and different. Dr. Krauthammer.
Anyway, Dr. Krauthammer was on the Fox News Channel last night, and it was during the story that O'Reilly calls the Personal Story segment, talking with Krauthammer about the United States retreating from the world, and O'Reilly said to Krauthammer, "Many people, including me, think that -- Charles, just how bad is it out there?"
KRAUTHAMMER: There's a big difference between decline as a condition and decline as a choice. What we have with Obama is a president choosing decline.

Repeating last paragraph for emphasis.
KRAUTHAMMER: There's a big difference between decline as a condition and decline as a choice. What we have with Obama is a president choosing decline.
Back to the question. Is Obama trying to bring down the Country on purpose?
Answer:
Are you posting this from a moving vehicle on a wrist-watch Ipad?
Just wondering...
Perino is just too polite to say $hit if she had a mouthful.She does provide the common sense balance on the Five but sometimes she goes too far in justifying maladministration as only making ‘bad choices’. This is such a time.
Even I, as someone who has a great deal of antipathy toward the Current Occupant, have a hard time believing that he’s genuinely evil or that he purposefully wants to bring the country down. This isn’t to say that I haven’t often thought it or that I couldn’t be persuaded fully, but it’s a very serious charge to level and I don’t like leveling very serious charges lightly.
I think it has something to do with an ingrained respect for the office, a (perhaps naive) belief that no one person or administration can truly bring down a country (especially one that supposedly has the checks and balances ours does) and a feeling that if things were really as bad or about to get as bad as some believe, the people wouldn’t let it happen in the end.
And this is my viewpoint as an average guy. If I have trouble wrapping my head around it, imagine the difficulty of those who have a lot more to lose and who aren’t as affected by his policies as I am (or as we are).
