Obama Must Go
Townhall.com ^ | 3-3-2014 | John Ransom

Posted on 03/03/2014 2:26:06 AM PST by servo1969

As Obama moves from one disaster to the next disaster, it’s clear that he’s lacking the support from citizens here at home, is viewed skeptically by people abroad, and lacks the respect from foreign leaders that the Great Seal of the United States should confer on any president.

“A CBS News/ New York Times poll out tonight find only 40% of Americans are satisfied with the presidency of Barack Obama,” reported CBS News last week. “59% say they're disappointed.”

Only 59 percent? What’s wrong with these people?

Obama’s been beaten on Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and now in Ukraine.

He’s made enemies of allies such as Israel, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

Europe, for the second time since the Prague Spring, is hearing the goosestep march of Russian troops in Europe under the leadership of their new Man of Steel, Vlad the Impaler Putin, as Russians tear apart the Ukraine.

Under Obama’s leadership Russia has begun to sweep up the scattered pieces of their old, lost, iron empire.

And for those who think that Russia is just going into their own back garden, use Google to find out what that means.

Obama, according to our friends over at the Weekly Standard, in response has skipped another national security meeting.

This is how wars start, people.

And just because it won’t happen next week or next year, doesn’t mean I won’t eventually tell you I told you so. Although you’ll probably have died in a thermonuclear blast by then, so I won’t have the satisfaction of you hearing me.

And I’m only slightly joking.

Are we in the United States more secure or less secure than we were six years ago?

Less secure, and it’s growing more acute by the day.

“I think Putin is playing chess,” says Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), chair of the House Intelligence Committee, “and I think we're playing marbles.”

Almost.

That would be true, but we have lost our marbles a long time ago.

Because Obama’s brand of bungling isn’t limited to foreign affairs, although our problems overseas will be harder to repair than the ones at home.

Before the newest “Greatest Crisis Ever” Obama created in the Ukraine, he was still mired in the multi-year botched attempt at implementing the newest “Worst Legislation Ever” in Obamacare.

Prior to that, he was administering the “Worst Recovery Ever,” after squandering the “Most Money Ever” on stimulus programs that did not stimulate anything.

If John McCain in 2008 had produced a commercial pointing out the real missteps, the incompetence and pure overall stupidity that we have witnessed from this administration for the last six years, Oprah Winfrey would have said “He’s just saying that because Obama is black.”

Which gets us to the question: How on earth did a great nation elect such a strange, unqualified and incompetent man president of the United States, twice?

And no, it’s not because he’s black.

It’s because the GOP is stupid.

The GOP is still more interested hassling their own, than they are in beating Obama.

If Republican National Chairman Reince Priebus and the RNC spent more time worrying about Obama and less time worrying about Sen. Ted Cruz and Lt. Col. Allen West, perhaps they wouldn’t have been bested in 2012.

For all the faux handwringing that the establishment went through about Cruz’ filibuster on Obamacare, he was right, and they were wrong.

It’s time to get stern, to get hardened and to stop playing prevent defense.

It’s time the GOP told the truth: This has been the worst administration in the history of the Republic, and it’s past time for Obama and his enablers* to go.

To: who knows what evil?

Repent, America.


September 11th, 2001
 
It was a retirement morning like any other -
waking up, cleaning up and getting ready
to go to Bob’s for breakfast.
 
The TODAY program was on TV,
a familiar noise at this time;
Just like any other morning,
but today seemed different:
Something was happening in New York...
 
Unimagineable! A deed dark and EVIL.
 
We were suddenly at war; not with a Nation – but an ideology.
 
Around 3,000 of us died that day – 19 of our attackers did as well.
 
 


September 11th, 2011
 
Life is different now.
 
Unknown men handle me in public places that I could not have imagined just 10 years ago.
 
EVERYONE is suspect in a way that Orwell had written about, 62 years ago.
 
Grandmothers and toddlers are
scrutinized and inspected;
their bags and their bottles:
empty or not.
 
Today, we worry about and prepare for a possible repeat of that fateful day, 10 years ago.
While the head of the beast is allegedly gone, the serpent writhes on:
spitting it’s venom from multiple sources.
 


 
We rightly lament the loss of those lives; snatched away by those with other ideas.
3,000 in one day by terrorists?
 
Why; that is HORRIBLE!!! Unspeakable – Satanic even.
 
But we have ideas in this country, ideas that are incorporated into LAW,
that snatch away life before it has a chance to begin.
 
More than half again as many in this country die - every working day - since then.
All because of a thing called: CHOICE.
 
It, too, is unspeakable.
 
 
Guttmacher Institute, compiling data from around the country,
says around 1.2 MILLION die yearly.
Right here in “GOD Bless America”
 
50 weeks a year (one must get a vacation);
5 days a week; yields 250 days that a CHOICE is made.
 
A CHOICE that abruptly terminates another human’s life
just as suddenly as those taken on 9/11.
 
An average of 4 thousand, 8 hundred lives: each and every DAY!
Oh; we still have our buildings after all of this; but what has been ripped from our souls?
 
 
3,000 cry out for VENGENCE! for 9/11 2001; while 12,000,000 have no voice, 10 years later...


I’ve just returned from a vacation, visiting a place where another loss of many lives occurred: Gettysburg.
 
Ideas – conflicting ones – clashed on an immense battlefield; and lives were changed afterward.
 
Today there is a serene, a reverent, eerie peace to the scene. Memorials dot the land, and the landscape is green; instead of red.
 
One of our greatest men visited the area and spoke a few months after the conflict, saying:

Four score and seven years ago

our fathers brought forth on this continent,

a new nation, conceived in Liberty,

and dedicated to the proposition

that all men are created equal.

EQUALITY. It is found in Christ. Lincoln must have had that in mind when he penned ‘CREATED’.

St. Paul, in writing to the Galatians, said:
There is neither
Jew nor Greek,
slave nor free,
male nor female,
for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
It’s too bad he didn’t add born and unborn: perhaps todays world would be different.

WOOOOHOOOO! John Ransom nails it in this OUTSTANDING article. Names, names and UNaccountable (socialist/totalitarian) bureaucracies.

It’s time the GOP told the truth: This has been the worst administration in the history of the Republic, and it’s past time for Obama and his enablers* to go.

* enablers to include, but not limited to:

TOTALITARIANS MUST GO.

DEPOPULATE totalitarians from the body politic

DEFUND/DISMANTLE their collectives

It's easy to…

live - free - republic

And then, in 1969, the book The Peter Principle: Why Things Always Go Wrong appeared.

At least Putin gets things done.

Who spent the most 'stimulus' money?

The only ones who are going to go are those who criticize Obama and the leftist Democrats. Bet you $1 it’s true.

The Demoncrats said no one could be worse than Bush, they were wrong, very wrong.

But they will never admit it. They'll just circle the wagons.

What say American draft up a letter asking for Putin to please come to our aid and to restore a proper government...

So who do you think Putin would put into office to replace Obama? Just curious.

...or Russia will assist Americans such as those in Connecticut about to have their guns confiscated?

Maybe Putin will push for the same kind of gun control laws he has at home?

Its nice seeing a “new” Russia.

I'm sure they would welcome another American expat. Have fun and let us know how it is.

The UK has stricter and more dictatorial gun laws than Russia. In fact, Russian gun owners launched their version of the NRA last December. I wish them success and good luck.

“A CHOICE that abruptly terminates another human’s life just as “suddenly” as those taken on 9/11.”

I would just add that it wasn’t “suddenly” for many of those who died on 9/11.

For the aborted unborn babies, it is also a nightmare of pain & suffering. Sometimes for countless hours in a janitors closet, alone, fighting for each next breath of life, denied them by the evildoers who call themselves “Pro Choice”. What choice did these aborted babies have? They, being completely separate, individual, human beings, created by God. They are not the “property” of the mother, to be discarded like so much garbage.

We abhor the idea and practice of one human being “owning” another, yet we allow unborn babies to be murdered by abortion like we used to allow slaves to be murdered by hanging. Other than the method, what’s the difference?

Some of the lyric from Keith Green’s “A Billion Starving People”

I find it hard to just ignore, the murdered unborn children,

Yes times have changed, but still God warns, you shall not take a life.

I want to save a life today, I want to keep one alive for my Father,

Who will avenge the blood! Of weak and helpless ones someday

whose lives are spilled out like water, Lambs in the slaughter,

and each one is handmade by Jesus.

Don’t forget the MSM. They knew about John Edwards affair and probably knew about the love child but kept it from the American people until Obama secured the nomination. Also, when Sarah Palin was nominated to be VP in 2008, the MSM chartered airplanes to Alaska to “investigate” her. How many planes with MSM “investigators” flew into Chicago? crickets!

The powers behind the throne in left wing politics wanted Obama and did not want Clinton. And don’t forget McCain gave up.

I didn’t say he asked the question. But the kind of societies he is writing about were foretold. That said, I add my recommendation to TRTS if I have not done so already.

Let's see. In Ukraine a small group of protesters be able to overthrow the legally elected president and we support that. Can the same thing happen closer to home?

“It’s because the GOP is stupid.”

Maybe so, but the people, in large numbers, keep
re-electing Progressives.

Just saying.

IMHO

If the LSM had vetted that arrogant pos he would have never become president and if certain freepers had not raged against Mitt Romney or any of the other republican candidates in the 2012 election he would not have been reelected
