Obama Sacrifices Liberty To All-Powerful Government
IBD Editorials ^ | April 10, 2012 | ERNEST S. CHRISTIAN

Barack Obama is very dangerous, the apotheosis of an insidious strain of authoritarianism that destroys freedom from within.

Like an invasive species, it had been gnawing away at America's vitals since the 1930s. Then, impatient for power, Obama's Chicago contingent hit upon the ultimate quick-acting fraud — capture the White House by electing an illusion.

They conjured up an imaginary Obama invested with virtues never before or since found in the original. The make-believe Obama then starred in an electoral fairy tale scripted by the media and proclaimed a hit by bewitched voters.

Thus did it come to pass in the year 2008 that Americans were duped into electing a president quite different from the illusion for which they voted.

The real Barack Obama is a steely-eyed autocrat, dedicated to expanding his power at the expense of our liberty, still a bit of a Marxist, alternately hostile to or agnostic about capitalism, and intent on transforming America into a government-controlled society composed of obedient automatons.

The lights of personal and economic freedom in America are starting to flicker. If Obama gets a second term, they will go out. As Charles Krauthammer said, Obama "will take the country to a place from which it will not be able to return."

Upon arrival, we will sink into a new dark age of absurdities designed by Obama. Centuries of American law and civilization will be turned upside down. The sacred will be defiled, the repugnant exalted, the Constitution inverted

Buckwheat and his federal goons need to look at the videos of what happened to Kaddhafi and his bureaucrats after he ordered his federal mercenaries to kill ordinary Libyans.

Excellent and timely. We need to keep our eyes on the prize - Obama retired in 2012 and his bad ideas with him.

The Won is not “sacrificing” liberty.

A sacrifice involves giving-up something you value.

He does not value liberty, at least not for we bitter clingers.

Obama’s bad ideas cannot be retired - they can only, at best, be beaten into submission for a generation or two.

Precisely! Does anyone really believe that an election would put the ‘Progressives’ in their place? They cannot produce one example of any success in their central planning ideology. But they keep winning by promising to take from those who have more just to be ‘fair’. They cannot grasp the reality that those that produce will not work for the ‘progressive’ purpose.
The coming times will pit the industrious, inventive, resourceful against the government reach. The ‘progressives’ get really angry when their plans fail. (See Mao’s ‘Cultural Revolution’)

"Proclaim liberty throughout the land." (Inscription on the Liberty Bell - from Leviticus)

We might remind ourselves that liberty is Creator-endowed, as the Declaration of Independence clearly asserts.

No man or government can grant it, and no man or government can take it away. America's Founders and lovers of liberty everywhere have seen America as a "shining city on a hill," a "beacon," and hundreds of millions have flocked to the harbor where "Lady Liberty" raises her shining torch.

The American Constitution is "the People's" Constitution. To alter its protections and provisions requires a rigorous process prescribed in the Constitution itself, and that process requires "the People's" own participation and approval.

"The People" of America, if they are enlightened and knowledgeable about their Constitution, will not allow a tyrant, no matter how benevolent he appears, to entice them to become a slave to a master called "government."

Thomas Jefferson, in a June 1, 1795, letter to Tench Coxe, wrote:

"I congratulate you on the successes of our two allies. Fhose of the Hollanders are new, and therefore pleasing. It proves there is a God in heaven, and that he will not slumber without end on the iniquities of tyrants, or would-be tyrants, as their Stadtholder. This ball of liberty, I believe most piously, is now so well in motion that it will roll round the globe, at least the enlightened part of it, for light & liberty go together. It is our glory that we first put it into motion, & our happiness that being foremost we had no bad examples to follow."

A dictator, such as Obama, only has the power that the people give him.

Currently at least 40 % of American voters are gladly willing to give Obama the necessary power to continue his dictatorship.

Dictator Obama has designed Obama”care” to become active only AFTER he is re-elected, thus enabling THE NINE SUPREMES to delay ruling on the Constitutionality of the dictate of the individual mandate until Obama is once again the Illegal Foreign White House Occupier, (IFWHO).

The purpose of Dictator Baby-Doc Barack is simple: 1.) Regulate; 2.) Control; and 3.) Destroy. By his own count he as achieved 60 % of his goals, according to the note he says he carries in his pocket.

Obama’s obvious deep hatred of America could have only come from his childhood.

Since there are no known networks of childhood friends from Obama’s past, Obama was probably a member of a Marxist sleeper cell funded by wealthy men with a Marxist view of the World.

The lack of credible evidence that has NOT been forged requires a long-term, highly skilled and well-funded support group.

Who the key members of Obama’s probable support group and probable sleeper cell were and are is well known to the CIA and the FBI.

Will the “Citizen Journalists” such as Breitbart Editor Joel Pollack be able to out-spy these two tax-funded spy entities?

BTW, forget about the LAM, (Liberal Agenda Media), as they are saving their notes to write their tell-all Obama books after Obama has SAFELY retired back home in Kenya.

BTW, BTW, to all the doubters of the above speculation: what does your gut tell you?
