Does Obama Doom America?
American Spectator ^ | 11.14.12 | Quin Hillyer

Posted on 11/14/2012 12:11:28 PM PST by IbJensen

The question so many people are asking.

The refrain started many weeks, even months, before the election, but its frequency and intensity has increased nearly exponentially since Nov. 6.

"I don't know if we can survive another four years of this," people say. Or, "do you think we can survive four more years of this?" Even Bill Kristol, not prone to defeatism, speculated on what might happen "even if America can survive the next four years of Obama."

-snip-

It is not an idle worry. Barack Obama and his minions play for keeps. And they are playing for a vastly different America than the one with which we have been accustomed for 224 years of this constitutional republic. Fight a war in Libya without even asking for a congressional resolution? No problem. Appoint executive officers without Senate approval, when the Senate is still in session? Sure. Issue executive orders directly contrary to law, on multiple occasions? Of course. Refuse to enforce duly constituted laws? Check. Repeatedly question the very legitimacy of the Supreme Court? Check. Refuse to honor congressional subpoenas and legitimate Freedom of Information requests? Ignore court orders (about offshore drilling) so flagrantly that you are found officially in contempt of court? Insult or even abandon allies? Whisper to foreign leaders of traditionally adversarial lands that you will have "more flexibility" after re-election? Deliberately cover up deadly mistakes on the Mexican border and in North Africa? Check, check, check, check, and check.

This man runs a vote-fraud-enabling, military-vote-suppressing, domestic-energy-destroying, debt-exploding, credit-limit-undermining, defense-gutting, abusive-regulation-promulgating, power-centralizing, religious-liberty-attacking, crony-corporatism-expanding, Constitution-trampling administration.

His mentor was a Communist; his top aide's in-laws and grandfather were major Communist activists; his chief political strategist worked for Communist-linked journalists; he started his political career with a fund-raiser at the house of domestic terrorists; he repeatedly and enthusiastically said the man who most deeply influenced his faith was a preacher in whose pews he sat for 20 years while the preacher spread racial hatred and anti-American venom (after which, according to the preacher himself, a close Obama associate offered to "buy" the preacher's silence); he got a sweetheart deal on his mansion via a financial alliance with a crook named Rezko; and he himself wrote that he made a conscious decision while still a very young adult to embrace racial grievances and hang out with hard-left counter-culturists."

This evil communist Obama will try to become dictator for life. Stalinists like this Obama piece of crap always do this as Chavez did in Venezuela.

Question: "Does Obama Doom America?"

Answer: No.

Comment: This poor creature will not be the cause of the coming American economic and political collapse anymore than the cause of measles is the rash. The election of this Third World "leader" is a mere symptom of the abdication by the people who made and sustained this country from the beginning to date. Those who made and sustained America have become bankrupt they are no longer able to exclude those who do not belong, they are losing their capacity to govern.

It is his goal in life!

Which is why it is good, when someone “Hopes he fails”.

His policies and actions make it clear that his anti-colonialism fuels his every step.

Shut down American energy exploration and production, while pretending that it can be replaced with “renewable energy”.

Destroy the economy, with out of control spending, graft to public and private unions, confiscatory tax policies, and smothering regulation.

Destroy the best health care system in the world.

Dismantle the greatest military in the world and the infrastructure that supplies it.

Destroy Religious Freedom and shut down the charities that compete with your gov’t vote buying schemes.

Undermine the American workforce by importing cheap, illegal labor.

The trespasses I've omitted here, are not due to lack of awareness, rather to disgust that clouds my ability to communicate in a civil manner.

It isn’t Obama that dooms America. It is an American that would elect him that dooms America.

Obamao doesn’t need to try to become a dictator for life. All he needs to do is to implement programs and policies, such as Obamacare, that will be impossible to ever overturn. That’s the dictatorship for the life of you and your grandchildren, just like SoShecurity, War on Poverty, Depts. of Energy, Education and so on, and so on.

No. Obama will destroy America with the help of our RINO TRAITOR politicians.

McCain, Graham,Rubio,Hatch, and ESPECIALLY Boehner.

Boehner on Nov 8 2012, when asked about “immigration”: This issue has been around far too long and while I believe it’s important for us to secure our borders and to enforce our laws, I think a comprehensive approach is long overdue, and I’m confident that the President, myself, others, can find the common ground to take care of this issue once and for all.

Scary that it will actually happen in America. It’s scary that we even think it COULD happen.

But remember, obama is not the brains behind this power. There is a group somewhere pulling the strings. And we’d probably be surprised to learn their names. I’d look for some republicans to be in the group.

“Question: “Does Obama Doom America?”

Probably as it exists now, yes.

He dooms all of us only if the 49% that wanted no more of him decide to surrender and welcome the boot on our necks.

Just as the medieval executioner was anonymous in his mask, our executioner is anonymous behind a fog of obfuscation and administrative & judicial misfeasance.

Does Obama doom America? He is systematically dismembering the rule of law... and we don't even know who he is.
