Does America Deserve Obama?
American Thinker ^ | 11/04/2011 | David Deming

Posted on 11/04/2011 6:27:34 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

President Obama is a socialist and a vapid demagogue who has been educated beyond the level of his intelligence. He is the choice of a puerile and spoiled electorate who want to be taken care of and obtain handouts from a parental figurehead.

I can't believe the West won the Cold War. The Cold War was a competition of economic ideologies. In the 1960s, we used to have sincere debates about which economic system was better -- a socialist, centrally-planned economy, or a capitalist, free-market economy. The debate is over. By 1990, even the Russians and Chinese were forced to implicitly admit the superiority of market economies. But while our former enemies were busy converting their socialist systems to market economies, we were happily rushing headlong into socialism.

SNIP

In the U.S., we exist in a curious state of denial. We acknowledge the inferiority of socialism but continue to become more and more socialistic. Every attempt to shrink the size of government or repeal a regulation brings about a shriek, like a bottle being pulled out of the mouth of an infant. I cannot recall a Republican president or Congress who reduced the size of the federal government. No one wants to surrender a special privilege or entitlement. We know what the best system is, but we lack the discipline to return to it.

Ronald Reagan used to say that liberals know only how to tax and spend. If there was ever a man who embodies that aphorism, it is Barack Obama.

He may or may not be an Islamist, but what really matters is that he’s on the “other side” (which includes Islamists, Satanists, humanists, communists, etc) of the cosmic battle between Christ and those who oppose Him.

Obama is not the problem. The electorate is the problem.

As long as 47% of them pay no federal income tax, (that number will continue to creep upwards) this country will continue to elect obama and his ilk.

yes... ang I agree with Graybeard..

look what we have here in California.. we deserve it.. and about 20 to 30 percent of the population here can’t believe what is happening.. the other folks are on the dole, and the unions are getting what they want..

this country is at the tipping point. I see wide scale unrest and rioting on the horizon. Time to prepare.

If Obama wins, it will take 50 years to reverse this trend.

“When you rob Peter to pay Paul, Paul rarely complains.”

I think one thing that would bring huge change to our country would be require one to show a net positive number on their 1040 in order to vote.

Might even incent some people to work.

People keep saying that the Democrats believe in socialism. They don’t. they believe in control and theft from the public treasury. There isn’t even one Democrat who thinks that socialism works. They do believe that it’s a good smokescreen to hide behind while they raid the public treasury.

America deserves something better than this fraud—snake oil salesman. He’s a good talker, give Obama that, but hes a poor doer. We deserve Palin now or...someone else.
