“The danger to US is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him.....

This is a comment from a reader of Prager Zeitung, a German language newspaper published in Prague:

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a 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, who is, after all, merely a fool.

It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

Bravo! Finally, someone has said this well.
To this day the public is preoccupied with Hitler's persona, as if he had any significance. The 1930s Germany has turned sharply left, and competition was among three socialist parties; there was no opposition. If Hitler weren't available, they would elect someone similar. If Stalin were not available, another dictator would rule Russia. Hannibal and Caesar mattered a great deal but, in a democracy, it's always about the voters, not the leaders.

Obama isn’t the problem—he is a symptom of a deeper sickness that infects the land. Its part PC, part, Me Generation, part greed and part Multiculturalism. Sex, drugs and rock and roll. If it feels good—do it. The hippie chickens have come home to roost. When Obama is re-elected and given a mandate because he’s so “Cool” you will see the nation fall into a 3rd World status. And when people suffer? Its George Bushes fault and the evil Republicans. Look to see Republicans who don’t play ball with the Progressives be destroyed.

Since the mid-1800s to early 1900s, generations of American children have attended socialist-modeled, socialist-funded, government owned and run, **compulsory**, K-12 schools! Simply by attending children learn that the government has **enormous** police power to force their neighbors to pay for, and to compel parents to use, a socialist government owned and run service.

Well?...If government can threaten parents and neighbors with police, courts, and even imprisonment, to both use and to pay for government owned socialist schools, why not a thousand other socialist wants and needs? ( Is a “duh” necessary?)

Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and Barack H. Obama were INEVITABLE! ( And...John McCain and other Republican socialists!)

If generations of American children attend socialist government schools we will raise up generations of SOCIALISTS!

How does that explain Franklin D. Roosevelt? Huh?

This sickness started generations ago! If we educate generations of children in socialist-modeled, socialist-pay for, government owned SOCIALIST schools, we will get generations of socialists!

By the way, I graduated from university in 1974. The university I attended was filled to the brim with Marxist and socialist sympathizers who were many decades older than their students. Where did these geezer professors get their indoctrination?

This is the reason Mark Levin has no patience with those who voted for Obama. They are dumb and blind.

The problem with FR is that many posters get hung up on the false right/left dichotomy.

Pull back to the larger macro view. Democracies are an automatic fail, so the trick by any group of (banking) manipulators was to convert the republic to a democracy.

Everything, and I mean everything, flows from this conversion. Once democracy was firmly in place, there was simply nothing, absent a conquering foreign power, that could supplant the growth of government.

Money is the mother's milk of politics. If we didn't have a central bank to finance the federal government, and the ability to tax the citizenry in order to pay the bankers' interest on the use of our very own money, the whole system would collapse.

Once basic human vices are understood, it only takes a little leverage to get the ball rolling. The ball has been steadily rolling for quite some time now. How much bigger can fed.gov get before it comes all apart?

This means better education,

We must shut down the socialist government K-12 schools.

We must get the nation's children into PRIVATE conservative schools that thoroughly integrate the family's Judeo Christian values and our nation's founding principles into every minute of the child's school day.

Our nation faces two serious threats! Marxism is occupying center stage. Islam is waiting in the green room. Only a nation of people fully capable of defending their faith and our nation's founding principles can stare down and stand up to these two enemies of freedom! Anything less will crumble like a Chinese fortune cookie.

In your opinion, did the problem start with Andrew Jackson or with the creation of the federal reserve and IRS, or both?

If the federal reserve and IRS started the downward slide, then I believe we can blame socialist-modeled government schooling for creating a population that would approve of this.

As soon as Jackson abolished the 2nd central bank, the London bankers were right back at the drawing boards biding their time.

Governments always need money - it's the essence of their very nature. Democracies need even more money in which to purchase votes and reward political supporters.

So put yourself in the bankers' shoes - what is the easiest, most surefire way of implementing a democracy? Why, to increase the franchise.

Once that was accomplished, there was no end to the number of social programs which could be implemented. I mean, who really cares about the details. Education? Check. The list goes on.

Still, there were certain weaknesses in the overall system, as was demonstrated in 1873, 1893 & 1907. So the key was to lock in a monopoly arrangement, along with income taxes to pay the operating costs.

At a certain abstract level, the design really is a thing of beauty. To this day, barely anyone even understands what is occurring.

Look at you - a reasonable intelligent person correctly identifying education as a prime causative agent, yet failing to understand how universal education was passed in the first place.

The original republicans would have correctly identified this usurpation & blocked its implementation. The newly elected democrats had no such compunction. The bankers had to get rid of the former and instill the latter. They succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

There were plenty of Useful Idiot ( progressive) Utopians who helped expand the franchise and promoted universal government owned and imposed education. Wilberforce in England immediately comes to mind, and in the U.S., the family of Harriet Beecher Stowe.

I was aware that Progressive Utopians and the industrialists both pushed for universal government education but for different reasons...hm?... I never considered the role banking would have had in the expansion of the voting franchise and government education. You make a very persuasive argument.

It seems to me that what has kept the U.S. from sliding faster into the abyss has been the fact that by the age of 30 enough voters have been mugged by reality that they begin to understand the principles of conservatism. Unfortunately, as the number of people who are employed by the government ( and thus sheltered from reality) grows these graduates of the “school of hard knocks” will become less and less of a percentage of the voting population.

It isn’t complicated. The American people generally will not vote for a flake for president and John McCain is widely viewed as a flake. The people voted against McCain, not for Obama.
