During my book "tour," radio hosts are forever asking me whether I believe that Obama is intentionally attempting to destroy America. It's a fair question, especially given the title of my book and because so many people legitimately believe he is.
I have never been too receptive to conspiracy theories, and I'm not particularly enamored of ones circulating about Obama. But unlike many other such theories, this one is about a truly unprecedented assault on the American idea and on those first principles that have made America the unique experiment in constitutional governance that it has been.
Ordinary people -- not just a small fringe group of zealots -- are really afraid today. They see the country they adore being attacked at all levels; they see their freedoms under assault, their life savings genuinely in jeopardy, an endlessly anemic economy, a longer period of sustained unemployment than we've experienced in a half-century and a national financial crisis, born of world-historic national debt, that this president will not help avert.
These are extremely troubled times. The government is on course to gobble up our health care system; businesses are afraid to hire because of the uncertainties caused by new taxes and regulations that will be unleashed with Obamacare -- along with the largest tax increase in the nation's history, which is already awaiting us in January. Small businesses see an administration that not only is at war with the private sector but also appears to be on a mission to punish and obliterate our domestic energy sources and waste billions more in borrowed federal dollars on green energy projects doomed to fail.
Why? How can anyone explain this insanity? Does Obama truly harbor a grudge against America? What did he mean when he said he wanted to fundamentally change America? What did his wife mean when she said she'd never been proud of America in her adult life before he rose to power? What possesses Obama to deride and apologize for America? What drives him to instinctively distrust business and the private sector and to believe that federal planners ought to have enormously more discretion in how our income and wealth are distributed? What drives him to reject the American concept of equal opportunity and promote the notion of equality of outcomes? Why is he determined to energize labor unions and encourage a permanently adversarial climate between labor and management? Why is he so adamant about the United States deferring to international bodies in the conduct of its foreign affairs? Why is he hellbent on downscaling our nuclear and conventional forces and dismantling our military space program and our missile defenses?
Are people not wholly rational in wondering just what in the world is going on?
My personal belief is that Obama, like so many leftist radicals, has a strong distaste for pre-Obama America and that he believes that the United States has been an imperialistic international bully, that we've consumed too much of the world's resources, that we've been an environmental felon and that our capitalistic system unfairly and inequitably distributes income and wealth -- and I think he means to effect wholesale change to rectify those sins.
Do I believe that he wants to "destroy" America, as such? No. In his mind, as warped and foreign as I think it is, he doubtlessly believes he is helping to create a better America -- a utopia of sorts. That is, he is intentionally trying to fundamentally transform America into something that he believes would be better but that most Americans -- and infinitely more if they understood the full scope of what he is up to -- would consider horrific, an America that we would barely recognize as the one bequeathed to us by our ancestors.
On the financial front alone, Obama is single-handedly preventing entitlement and discretionary spending reform, without which -- as I've said dozens of times -- America will face financial catastrophe. There is less than zero question that he is doing that on purpose, regardless of whether you think he is otherwise intentionally damaging America. There is no question that he is acting as though he has a vendetta against the oil, coal, natural gas and nuclear power industries. There is also little question that he is intentionally dividing Americans on the basis of race, economic class, gender, sexual orientation and, sometimes, religion.
You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to recognize the damage Obama is doing to the republic, and we haven't even touched on his unconstitutional and lawless usurpations of authority. The question isn't whether he is intentionally destroying America. The question is whether he is intentionally pursuing a set of policies that are definitely damaging America, irrespective of his motives.
The answer is -- irrefutably, emphatically -- "yes."
Anyone that advocated “Trickle Up” economics as their economic policy/goal is out to destroy the country.
Trickle Up economics is designed to destroy the middle class and move the accumulated “WEALTH” of the middle class to the very top and make it impossible for anyone except the top earners to accumulate actual wealth.
Think Nazi Germany.
Yes.
Amen and Amen!Obama(or whatever name it goes by) promised to
“fundamentally change” America if elected. and the lemmings rushed blindly to support a change they did Not comprehend from the Beguiler. Millions may vote for him again being blinded and enslaved by the Party of Lies and Divisions—the
Communist Party controlled Homosexual Reprobate affirming
Democratic Party.and their “useful idiots in the other Party.
Absolutely. The establishment, Repubs and Dems are not willing to discuss the elephant in the room. This guy is a hard core Bolchevik. Reading a book about Lenin/Trotsky “Spies and Commisars” The country was in total chaos before they were able to achieve their revolution. They are committed Communists and are trying to destroy us economically and socially. Me thinks the Beltway crowd all want to be in the inner circle when it happens and I do believe they think it is inevitable.
And if you think that what he’s done to this country to this point is bad now, just wait until you see what he has in store for us if, God forbid, he somehow gets a second term and no longer has to care a whit about getting elected again.
How about a MUSLIM TERRORIST illegal alien
The Muslim Terrorist explains Libya (Sharia law is coming there)
It explains Obama's love affair with the Muslim Brotherhood )$billion + that we know about to those terrorists
It explains Obama's love affair with the Arab Spring. It is actually getting rid of radical Arab governments and replacing them with NUTTY ARAB GOVERNMENTS, ones that will put children in explosive vests to kill Jews and Americans.
Obama is just enabling liberals to do what they want to do. Once America is weak enough, the bombs will start going off in schools and malls near your front door.
And the Muslim Terrorists led by Obama will be there to restore order. And if you don't cooperate, they will kill you and your family too.
Obama, our first terrorist Muslim President is planning on destroying everything Americans have.
Liberals hate Americans drilling for oil because they are idiots, Obama wants $$ to continue flowing to the Arabs etc. etc.
This pretty much nails Obama's mind set. Obama is steeped in leftist radicalism and shares the same world view as his mentors Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright.
The Obama internet Gestapo squads are busy burrowing into conservative forums creating a divided hostile zone. All they have to do is divide America. Divided we fall.
I’ll repeat that, Divided we fall.
Its like waiting in a long line for a theme park ride except Obamas goons are sending many to a locked door.
Personally I have never been a herd animal, most likely my next spiritual incarnation would be something like a lone wolf, a soaring eagle, even a cheetah upon a vast savanna.
In as such as posting on FR or TBL I feel an urgent need to abstain from the internet, its time to do “dirty deeds done dirt cheap”
Obama is quite simply the twentieth muslim hijacker. He’s telling us to stay in our seats and remain calm over the intercom while he’s got the stick pushed all the way forward. With all due respect to David Limbaugh, some of us figured it out a long time ago.
Is water wet?
DeaconRed agrees....
Sockmonkey concurs......
FrogMom concurs....
Absolutely YES
The most profound thing I’ve ever seen or read on American political life was on, of all things, South Park and also fits with what a friend said to me about 15 years ago.
America’s genius (says these theories) is the tension between left and right. Due, no doubt, to our unique political system the right has never completely had its way nor the left. The point South Park made was that none of our foreign adversaries (or allies) could ever figure us out because listening to our internal dialog would only serve to confuse. But the main point is that we’ve had checks and balances, yin and yang, Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neill and things have pretty much worked themselves out.
I think what’s happened under 0mumba is that due to media influence, RAT control of congress, spineless republicans, aholes like Roberts, the whole “racism” armor (the list goes on - feel free to add your own influences) the yang has gone from the yin, there’s been nothing to hold the boy king back. So he’s free to basically act like Caligula and there’s been nothing to stop him.
I don’t think you need a conspiracy theory or Soros or Agenda 21 to explain this. I think you just have governing by dorm room bong smokers with no significant opposition.
its time to do “dirty deeds done dirt cheap”
“They cannot perish better, than standing between their country and the embraces of a ferocious Tyranny, hated of man, and accursed of God.”
Daniel Webster
We are very close to “lets roll”
If the answer was no you wouldn't be asking the question.
I just listened to Jay Carney and at least 4 times he says 'Hardworking Middle Class', like the upper-middle and upper class don't work hard for what they've earned or that if you are successful, you have cheated and stolen from the poor.
Here a just a few of the rules of the new, better state as transformed by Obama and the Obamatons:
No more eating meat or snack foods i.e. any food with sugar or fat. No driving internal combustion cars...or any cars for that matter. No more living outside the big city. Occasional trips to the country one or twice a year will be allowed. No guns except for the security forces. No more mcmansions, grand yards, trips to Vegas. Everyone (except for the Exalted Leaders) will live in the big (huge) city. A 12x12 room should be adequate for you and your only-one-allowed child. Walk or bicycle to your job. If you have one. Or take the mass transit which will finally be filled as no one inside the city will be allowed their own motorized transportation. No more gladiator sports. Goodby football. For your fun, there will be group sing-alongs where everyone can praise the beneficent, all powerful state. No duress involved...unless you don't show up. Doesn't that sound like utopia?
Without a doubt "yes".
If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.
Or you can get raw with these strings.
How about this gamechanger from America's Got Talent (which they SHOULD have won).
Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.
Do it!
