The Danger To America Is Not Barack Obama
Hear Us Now ^ | 09.16.11 | InvaderZim

Posted on 09/17/2011 1:54:25 AM PDT by invaderzim

I heard the quote below read on the Glenn Beck radio program today.

He attributed it to a newspaper article from the Czech Republic Observer. I have so far been unable to find the actual article, though I have found a few references to it which indicate that the article, if genuine, was written at least a few months ago.

No matter if the article is genuine or not, the passage is fine and accurate in my opinion.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting an inexperienced 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. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their President."

I posted the exact same thoughts on this site two weeks ago.

I believe this is our essential problem - the American electorate. Voters for Obama in 2008 voted for someone largely unknown, untested, and who had no record of achievement in or outside of government.

But anyone with half a brain and a decent education would have been able to detect one of the most extreme Left-wing, socialist ideologues who ever entered the political scene. Just look at who his friends were.

But those who voted for him and were inerrant of who he was were:
1. uneducated (know nothing about our constitution and our republican form of government)
2. ill-informed (about the man they voted for)
3. racist (voted for him because it was ‘the Black guy's turn to be president and we feel sorry for Blacks and if we don't vote for him people might accuse US of being racist)
4. extreme liberals themselves (who have the only integrity because they actually believe in the lie that socialism works)

NO, don't blame Obama; he's just the empty suit that the extreme leftists thought whose time had come. Blame the nitwits who are allowed to vote.

But justice is actually served because those most damaged by this loser Obama are those who are uneducated, who live off the government, and have no personal responsibility.

As things are falling apart, they are the ones maxed out on credit cards, have mortgages they can no longer pay, have no savings to fall back on, have few skills to use in the marketplace, don't know how to problem solve because they always look to the government to take care of them, have no family structrue to support them because they don't know who their father was, were brought up by a single mother who opened her legs to the first guy who came around promising to love her or who bought into the feminist crap that you don't need a man and so got herself artificially inseminated.

These are the ones who voted for Obama who are being screwed once again by the liberals. Can they ever wake up from their slumber?

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m tired of the world looking at America and wagging a finger and we are quick to say...oh yes, yes, we have flaws, we are wrong.

It always comes out seeming like they (Europe) are somehow superior to us and we always apologize. I’m not denying that we have an issue when we vote for the likes of Obama but the world was cheering us on to do it, too.

It made me sick! I think it fed the lefties even more, in wanting to do it, because they want to be just like Europe, the rest of the world...anything but American.

It’s prob’ly the wish to be more like Europe that has brought us this education and dependance crap that helps bring in even MORE of this leftist/socialist junk. The world gets worse with socialism, not better.

Look at this:

“First, the statistics. The latest Pew Global Attitudes Project, a widely-respected survey that has tracked anti-Americanism around the world since 2002, polled 26,397 people in 25 nations in May and June and found that the image of the United States had improved in all but one (Israel), reflecting, it said, “global confidence in Barack Obama.”

The most dramatic before-and-after-Obama change, from 2008 to 2009, was noted in Britain, France, Germany and Spain. In Germany, 93 percent of those polled expressed confidence in the U.S. president’s leadership compared with 75 percent for German chancellor Angela Merkel. In France, the score was 91 percent for Obama and 53 percent for Nicolas Sarkozy.”

I guess I don’t like the wagging finger when most of Europe was and mostly still is suffering Obamamania. Perhaps not the leaders but they were talking idiots citizens and so am I! They have PLENTY!

Yeah, I listened to that interview.

I'm half listening to C-Span now. The question is, “How does the Constitution affect your daily life?”

For every intelligent comment there are five frightening ones.

Not those from former Communist controlled countries..like Poland and the Czech Republic.

I remember reading something like this before...it may have been Vaclev Havel (sp?)

And I have saidif the American public is stupid enough to vote him for a round 2, I would move to an Eastern European country and take my chances.

One part of the problem is we live in the television age:

We live in an era where a problem is solved in a 60 minute episode

We live in an era where bold words and flowery speeches win the day over hard work and intelligence.

We live in an era where the abnormal is portrayed as normal.

We live in an era where being stupid is glorified and where irresponsible behavior is encouraged.

We live in an era where the defenders of the good learn to accept and embrace the evil.

Etc, etc

4. extreme liberals themselves (who have the only integrity because they actually believe in the lie that socialism works)”

And this makes up what part of the electorate? 45%? Listen to when they announce numbers about likely voters. What percentage of likely voters will AUTOMATICALLY be voting to re-elect Obama? It’s staggering to think that the numbers they cite (usually within the 40-45% range) have ingested the last 2 1/2 years and come away feeling Obama is deserving of another 4 years.

When he was elected in ‘08 my first thought was about the kind of country we’ve become that could actually lift someone like him (consider that phrase fully) into the highest office in the land. I don’t believe the whole reason was due to lack of correct information. I believe much of it lay in the notion that many of our countrymen suffer from darkened/empty thinking. We’ve become a knee-jerk nation, ruled by emotions, enslaved by our appetites, requiring instant gratification without the ability to sift throught the consequences of any of these.

Statements synonymous to this were said before by Mark Steyn and Newt Gingrich. And it’s true. These fools are the downfall of America.

Woman to Ben Franklin: “What have you made?”

Ben: “A Republic,ma’am, if you can keep it.”.

Here’s a link to a discussion in a forum over 15 months old of this “newspaper article”

There is some truth in the posted statement but the whole truth is much more complicated.

The whole truth involves the educational establishment, which has a solid lock on what is taught, and which is run not by fools but by propagandist criminals.

The whole truth also involves the media establishment, which doesn’t have a solid lock on information flow but still has a vast monopoly on what gets to the people (look at how not a single question regarding Barry’s background has been asked, even up to today). And that establishment, like the educational establishment, is not run by fools but by propagandist criminals.

So yes, many foolish people voted for Barry. But there are major criminal players in America who are also involved in those votes (not to mention the criminal enterprise of vote fraud, which Barry engaged in mightily in the primary caucuses when he and his thugs locked out Hillary supporters [not that Hillary would have been any better, but still, facts are facts and should be reported and weren’t and still aren’t]).

the American electorate.

I saw an interview w/ an elderly woman in Anthony Weiner's old district prior to last week's election.

She said if it breathed she'd vote for the democrat.

I'm not that mad at my fellow Americans for obama being elected.

The relative success of Clinton's economy (thanks to the Republican Congressional takeover), let people believe that liberals are better with finances and the economy than they are.

Unfortunately, the big spending republicans, GWB, House and Senate, lead people to believe that republicans were no better or worse than or that much different from liberals.

The choice was simply between an old, establishment republican white guy and a young, hip, smooth talking black guy who wasn't Bush and obama gave voters a chance to show they weren't racist or otherwise prejudice.

Lastly, McCain seem to go out of his way to make it easier for voters to choose obama.

The danger to America is not Barack Obama

The danger remains Communism.

Photobucket

It was the Communist plan in 1934. It is 0bama’s Communist plan today.

I don’t think he has.

I still think he is pretty spot on.

I’m not with him on everything, but I think he is seeing the big picture; though in focusing so hard on the big picture I think he does risk missing some of the snap shots along the way.

I do agree the world as a whole has a problem.

Europe would embrace a Barack Obama in a hot second.
They’ve done it many times before and they will do it again.

I do agree with the thought about American voters though.
I hope we have woken up.

Focusing on your education comment, we have to take control of the education of our children.

That means getting them out of public school, either private of home school.

Private can be too expensive for many house holds.
With few exceptions, almost anyone can home school.

We owe it to our children and to our nation not to allow our children to be educated within the public school system.

Someone IS going to indoctrinate your children, it may as well be you.

By indoctrinate I do not mean brainwash.
I simply mean that someone is going to fill your child’s head with information, someone is going to use that information to try and influence who that child grows to be and how they think.

Do not allow the government to do that.

I don’t think most of them will wake, though surely some will.

What is going to have to happen is that they see other everyday, real Americans (such as ourselves) change the nation... over time, when they see that what we do works, they will come along.

Even if they only come along because we produce green grass while they produce nothing that lasts.
