Well it’s clear from president Obama’s State of the Union poetry that we’ve reached the terminal phase of the old deal that’s been foisted on us, also known as the New Deal.
Back when the world was young president Kennedy told us that it was time for a new generation of leaders, “tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage--and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed…. who have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger.”
Back then the danger to us existed from without.
And we did defend it successfully, with a rather large push from conservatives on both sides of the aisle.
As a result of the victory, today, the danger to freedom resides mostly within our borders, within the government, within the elite media that willfully ignores the objective news reporting.
The danger resides within our culture that views moral bankruptcy as a sort of promotional material to push market share and group benefits.
In his State of the Union speech, Bizzaro Jack Kennedy said: "Ask not what we are doing, just look at all the things your country can do TO you!"
He celebrated the sainthood of single motherhood, ignoring the fact that the two greatest indicators of poverty in contemporary society are being 1) a woman and 2) unmarried with children.
But unlike other saints, single mothers didn’t take the requisite vow of chastity, did they?
On foreign affairs and defense Bizzaro Jack Kennedy let every nation know that we will pay no costs, bear no burden, meet no hardship, support no friend, oppose no foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
Liberty is an outdated concept, after all, mentioned not once by the president, even as 72 percent of Americans fret that government provides the greatest threat to our future.
Instead, we will be the great enabler of Middle East instability, the acceleration of chaos and civil war there and ultimately the armorer of a nuclear Iran.
“If John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan could negotiate with the Soviet Union,” says Bizzaro Jack Kennedy, “then surely a strong and confident America can negotiate with less powerful adversaries today.”
As if.
This government can’t even negotiate a website service contract or a green energy loan without getting snookered.
Sovereign states, which, unlike you and I, aren’t under the thumb of the Department of Justice or the IRS or the NSA, regularly and increasingly give our diplomats a counter proposal that looks and sounds like a raspberry.
Here at home, the case of Sergeant First Class Cory Remsburg was cited by Bizzaro as an example of the “honor and support [of] our remarkable military families.”
Remsburg was injured in Afghanistan, with a resulting months-long coma, during Obama’s so-called surge strategy; the strategy that then-Secretary of Defense Robert Gates says Obama never supported. This despite the fact that Bizzaro campaigned on an Afghan surge as a counterpoint to the Iraqi surge operation.
“Hillary told the president that her opposition to the surge in Iraq had been political because she was facing him in the Iowa primary,” writes Gates. “The president conceded vaguely that opposition to the Iraq surge had been political. To hear the two of them making these admissions, and in front of me, was as surprising as it was dismaying.”
And Obama never believed in his own Afghan surge.
“As I sat there,” remembered Gates, “I thought: the president doesn’t trust his commander, can’t stand [Afghanistan President Hamid] Karzai, doesn’t believe in his own strategy, and doesn’t consider the war to be his. For him, it’s all about getting out.”
Quite frankly, Obama’s surge happened not for military reasons, but purely for political reasons, just as the opposition to the Iraqi surge was all about politics too.
Sergeant First Class Remsburg, in other words, was critically injured so that Obama could say he kept the promise of an Afghan surge, a strategy he knew would fail.
And it’s one of the few promises that Obama has kept.
It will be noted that the Democrats tried to keep the paychecks of servicemen like Cory Remsberg from going out amongst the brinksmanship of the debt ceiling and budget negotiations.
That’s how they honor our troops in Bizzaro’s world.
It illustrative of the emptiness of his conscience that he’s broken many promises in the pursuit of social engineering that has failed, yet kept this one promise he meant would fail.
And he now calls both successes.
And that explains so much about the state of our union today.
The New Deal has now become a tired old deal. It props up a class of politicians tempered by nothing, disciplined by nothing and trying desperately to forget our proud and ancient heritage of liberty in our hour of maximum danger.
BINGO.
VP Biden looks “board”, the Speaker wishes he was not.
The government didn’t get snookered on those contracts and grants. They intentionally gave money to their campaign contributors and cronies. Some of that money will be used to hire administration sychophants and line pockets.
We are the ones being snookered.
Egypt’s Morsi and our Democrat’s Obama have the same Muslim Brotherhood mentality, and thus both men are opposed to the Common Law basis of American Culture.
The American-based logic system falls on the deaf ears of both men.
Both men have a “Big Picture” mentality of destroying their existing societies in order to establish their version of the Muslim Brotherhood System of governance.
Their responses during and after the 2012 Benghazi Murders were the most revealing insights into their shared Muslim Brotherhood values.
Neither Morsi or Obama can be reasoned with by their countrymen. Their Muslim Brotherhood Mentality prevents them from doing so.
Egypt has figured all this is out, when will America do the same?
it’s too late for us. We have to hold our noses and keep our fingers crossed for 3 more years, then it looks like the Defender of Benghazi and Keeper of the FBI Files will be in charge.
I can think of several reasons why Obama should be impeached, but even the House won’t do their job.
The WH doc really should run an adrenaline dripline for SlowJoe during those long speeches.
Remember this one?:
“ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU. ASK RATHER, WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY !”
BTW, it was a DEMOCRAT who said that, over 50 years ago - - - .
“Both” Parties are now to the far left of JFK - - - .
The con is on. The Shill gives a speech to distract the Suckers. The Grifter hides in the shadows, rubbing his hands.
What has he done that has earned him the back-handed compliment of being Kennedy-esque? The Bizarro reference is perfectly deserved but why Kennedy? Was JFK gay, too?
