Obama; The Right Man For America, Wrong Ideology


Like most of Americans watching the Presidential elections of 2009, I was more curious and anxiously excited about having a black man represent America as the United States’ President.  With so many Americans and U. S Citizens openly expressing that it was time for the nation to be represented by a black man, I had to question aloud, have we as a nation “overcome”?  Had we as a nation overcome the notion that blacks were not intelligent enough or too inferior to be president?  Could we as a nation finally put the shameful and tragic period of our nation’s history of black-American slavery in the past and finally give the credit that we as a nation truly deserves for providing blacks, people of all color, more wealth and economic opportunity here as in no other nation on the planet? Could we at long last have a shining example that as a black-American you can be anything that you set your dreams on, even president of the United States?  But, even after learning that his mother was a devout leftist socialist and that his two fathers came from socialist countries, hearing his interview referring to the Constitution of “a charter of negative liberties”, because he saw that the Constitution limited the government too much, and reading in his book that he favored communist ideology and idols as he grew up and in college, I grew more anxious than anything else.  But I still hoped like a child awaiting Santa Claus to come deliver my gift, to find out that was my mother and father placing the gifts under the tree.  And not one of the gifts was what I truly wanted; At all!  I was greatly disappointed.

Just as I was emotionally crushed in not getting the jet pack that I saw the Robinsons on “Lost In Space” fly around on for me to fly to elementary school, I am more disappointed in the lost opportunity that Barack Obama offered to many blacks, and all ethnicities in America, and around the world, to be the one to set things off on the road for a better America, and to highlight it’s goodness and be a beacon for others to follow.  There may not be another such opportunity in my life time.

I believe that the average American would be hard press to not find Obama’s charm, looks, hip and charismatic presence, golden tongue, and picturesque family, appealing, and may even have you reminiscing about another such man, John F. Kennedy.  But when you review the 8 years of Mr. Obama’s tenure as president it will be his radical leftist progressive political ideology that has made this man an alien to the silent American majority and a cancer to his Party, both nationally and federally; and he’s definitely no J.F.K.

Following Barack Obama’s first presidential election, Newsweek in 2009 infamously shouted on it’s front page “We Are All Socialist Now”, maybe in mind, but certainly no in heart, yet.  Measuring from the results of the total policy rebuttal of the most unabashed leftist progressive U.S citizen ever elected as president since Woodrow Wilson by the voters, there heart of Americanism still beats, though lightly.

Obama was, and is, a pure ideologue first, and a politician distant second.  When he got elected major polls showed that jobs and economy where first and foremost on American’s minds.  And the election of 2016 major polls show that the economy and jobs are still foremost on the minds of Americans.  It is clear that it was not the economic health of the nation that he targeted for fundamental transformation, but it’s social identity. Lets just take a look at the accomplishments of president Obama:

  • March 2010, months after becoming president, signed The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), i.e., Obamacare – the most sweeping and costly government expansion into American healthcare since 1965 Medicare & Medicaid.
  • July 2010, Obama signs the most sweeping takeover of the U.S financial system with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, costing approx. costs to $24 billion in compliance-related expenses and 61 million paperwork hours. [7/2015 nationalmortgageprofessional.com]
  • In February 2011 Obama ordered his Justice Department to cease defending the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, that strictly defined marriage a between one man and one woman. [2/2011 abcnews.go.com] It was later struck down by the Supreme Court in June 2013.
  • November 2014 Obama signs Executive Order effectively granting legal status to over 11 MILLION ILLEGAL Immigrants. [12/2014 foxnews.com]
  • The Obama Administration has added $108 BILLION in annual regulatory cost. Costing $784 million every day the federal government was open for business in 2015 for Americans. [1/2016 Dailycaller.com]
  • The number of Americans not in the labor force has increased by 14,573,000 under his rule. [1/2017 cnsnews.com]

Just imagine if Mr. Obama would have sought to be a shining example as to what is possible as a son of African in America, rather than apologize for the nation’s greatness? Had he sought to improve the wealth and status of citizens on the low end of the economy by emphasizing, low taxation and government regulation, personal self-reliance and self-responsibility, civics, and increasing economic literacy throughout the nation? If had he sought to mimic J.F.K by challenging the educational institutions to focus on the sciences to make the nation tops in the world?  And what if he challenged the nation to boldly harvest the abundance of the nation’s natural resources, natural gas, oil, coal, etc.?  Yeah, imagine.

There is no question to the even most passive observer that Mr. O’s grand agenda was to permanently make the federal government the American people’s daddy and to shred the cultural fabric that has bound us together for some 200 plus years.  And he has succeeded in many ways like no one could have imagined possible in 2009.  But at what cost?  To both his Party as well as the nation?  The Democrat Party has lost BIG during Mr. O’s reign, federally and nationally, down over 10% in the Senate, over 19% in the House, over 20% in the State Legislatures, and an astounding plus 35% in State Governorships.  The very fact that the U.S Citizens and American voters have sent a very clear message that we are not totally ready for blatant socialism, just yet, is promising.  The question is do we know and understand why?

The charactership of Barack Obama was visually pleasing and accepted.  He represented hope for a better future and change from an ugly past. Little attention or vigorous objection was paid to what he was actually saying or the consequences of his action and motives.  And we seemingly cared little of the specifics.  But unless the American people reignite genuine reverence for what makes America exceptionally unique and what makes being an American special, i.e., the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, there will be another character presented to us boasting grand promises that he will whisk our deepest fears and worries away, who posses unvetted motives and idelology intuitively repugnant to Americanism that will lead the nation to depths of social and economic poverty that will be inescapable.

Remember America, You Have the Government You Deserve

Make America Great Again?

On Wednesday morning, the 9th of November 2016, many Americans and citizens of the United States awaken with sadness, heartache, joy, exhilaration, and some with anger.  And I’m sure that there were some wondering WTF?!.  and asking themselves, how did we get to such a decrepit political situation, again? We were literally stuck with no good choice to be the leader of the most powerful nation on the planet. Some members of the society were so upset over the democratic election of the Mr. Donald J. Trump that they marched in the nation’s streets and lashed out to almost anything of a visual reminder of the victor to express their dissatisfaction and frustration.  I found it interesting that Media sought not to describe this extreme expression of dissatisfaction as “racist” due to the fact that Mr. Trump is Caucasian, or discriminatory against the wealthy, due to Mr. Trump’s immense wealth, or age discrimination, due to the fact the Trump will be the oldest man to be elected president at 70 years old, or any other excuse for violent acts and disorder to attach to a protected class as it did strenuously struggled to apply to any criticism or expression of dissatisfaction over the election or policies of Mr. Barack Obama; as though any and all discontent expressed was simply due to the fact that he was Black.

As I look at it, I see very little difference from post-election day 2016 and that of 2008 or 2012.  I’m sure that were many of the voters wondering, could we had done better with the choices that were laid in front of us?  A good argument can be made that in the 2008 and 2012 elections the voters were left between rather to have their left arm or right leg sawed off at the joints.  Whereas on Tuesday November 8th 2016 left voters with the choice of either have the left or right eye ball removed with a rusty tong; both candidate’s had unfavourabilities hovering near 60%.  Amazing!

I think that mid-1700’s French lawyer, diplomat, writer, and philosopher, Joseph de Maistre, may have said it best, “In a democracy people get the leaders they deserve.”  You notice that he did not say that we get the leaders that we want, but the leaders that we deserve.  I’d be willing to bet you a dollar to a donut that most U.S voters would say that they want the U.S president to be a person of high moral conviction, of good character, and honest. But, actions speak volumes.  If you take an honest assessment of the two individuals that were the electable choices to be president, it would be quite obvious that that’s not what the voters ultimately voted for.  Quite the opposite.  So too the same can be said as for the two prior presidential election outcomes.

The Citizens of the United States in ’08 and 2012 elected a man to be president without enquiring of him anything more than they would someone who was applying to manicure their yard. We cared not his political philosophy.  We cared not of his personal affiliations that helped mold and influence his world view, men such as Frank Marshall Davis, Saul Alinsky, Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers.  All of whom were either Communist/Marxist, Socialist, and or Anarchist.  We showed scant, if any, interest in how did the effects of both of his dads being from socialist/communist Muslim countries, one being from Indonesia and his biological father being from Kenya, and his mother having extreme socialist political leanings, had on his world perception.  Nor did we seem to be too inquisitive how he could be part of the Trinity United Church of Christ for some 20 plus years, be married in it, and have a person such Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who preached a radical form of black liberation, and then tell us that he had no idea of the type of preaching that was espoused by Rev. Wright.  Mr. O was presented to the voters as blank canvas, for which we could mentally create into who we wanted him to be, as he spoke with velvet silk tongue about “Hope & Change”.  How he would make all of our economic pains go away; that Santa [the government] would take from the bad an evil rich and give all of their ill-gotten wealth to us, the “less fortunate”; and that Santa would deliver us a Utopian paradise, just because.  Too many of us chose not to question with boldness the man who promised to “Fundamentally transform America”, just what was he transforming America from, and into what?  And the complicit Media ensured that we the people stayed distracted and squabbling amongst over selves so those such questions remain unasked.

With so much of the population so conditionally adverse to learning history, and therefore lack the ability to learn from it, it should come as no surprise that another virtual unknown is elected to the highest political office of the land, once again.  This time he wears the Republican brand, billionaire businessman Mr. Donald J. Trump.  Riding an emotional tsunami of a nation’s silent majority’s anger and discontent who has felt betrayed by the political “Establishment” and disillusioned with the future prospects of the nation – economically, nationally, and socially, with admittedly having never held any public office and showing no passion for historical political functioning nor posture. He sailed his way to being elected president of the United States on bluster, showmanship, machoism, and an emotionally charged mantra, “I’m Going to Make America Great Again”.  And let’s not forget to mention he was up against the most ethically and morally flawed Democrat opponent who literally had a personality, that if she was honey, would draw 2 bees; and 1 would be lost.  But even the most intellectually passive person might ask, What is his vision of America’s greatness? and How will that be manifested?

Once again, the voters of the United States some to be grossly disinterested in the philosophical constitution of the man who they have chosen to be president.  The nation voters seem curiosity vacant regarding the political constitution of a man who has never held political office.  For the  man who is to be the face of the Republican Party, Mr. Trump has stated positions that are more than intellectually counter-intuitive, if not repugnant, to the ideology of Republicanism, such as; he favors Planned Parenthood, favors gender “equality” in the workforce, advocates eminent domain, he is for forcing businesses to adopt family paid leave policies, has stated the need for “universal healthcare”, and what to me is the most irreprehensible statement that he made was that “he has never sought the need to repent or ask the Creator for forgiveness.  Should even the least inquisitive amongst us not pause and ask, what is it that guides this man who will be president’s decision making and governs his notion of right and wrong?  Should someone be asking what does the fact that he is on his third marriage and that he has many times placed a greater value on potential golf course over that of 92 y/o Scottish woman’s fundamental right to be left alone say about his moral compass?  Should we be at all concern of his strong fascist and corporatist leanings? What does the fact that he treats the Constitution with ill reverence says about whom he may choose to enforce it?  Is he the best amongst us whom we could have chosen?  Do we care to even ask such bold questions anymore?  And if the voters continue to take their choices so triviality, what does that say about the future of our great country?

A good argument can be made that it hasn’t been since the election of Reagan that the nation has had a president who the people, with little conscience reservation, felt proud when he spoke in our name, felt confident in his character, had confident that he was guided by Divine moral conviction, and felt little need question his judgement.  There is a reason that Reagan’s name still demands honor and respect, and so many Republicans blasphemously speaks his name for their illicit political benefit.  When have you heard any Democrat president spoken nearly with such reverence? Carter? Clinton? Will Obama be? Yes, you can say Kennedy. But the nation was vastly different then – morally, socially, economically, and politically.  The distance from America then and America now is comparable to that of Earth and Pluto.

The importance of choosing a God-fearing man of good moral character to govern and the consequences that would come if the American people failed in that undertaking may have been foretold no more prophetically them Founding Father Noah Webster, when he said, “When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers, “just men who will rule in the fear of God.” The preservation of government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty; if the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made, not for the public good so much as for selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded. If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws.” and When a citizen gives his suffrage (vote) to a man of known immorality he abuses his trust; he sacrifices not only his own interest, but that of his neighbor, he betrays the interest of his country.”

This nation will not fail or succeed by the moral compass or quality of character of the leaders placed to govern, but by that of the people who chooses them to govern.

 

Barack Obama’s “Innocent” Presidency

 

Don't tell anyone that it was me.

Don’t tell anyone that it was me.

Imagine for a moment that you have a young child, and you are attempting to solve the problem of the vanishing cookies. When you question your child, for whom you love dearly, he demonstratively denies that it is he who has taken the cookies.  He is telling you that it is lit’l Johnny, the young boy from next door, with whom he is closely acquainted.  But, as he is passionately attempting to convince you of his innocence, you cannot help but to notice that in the corner of his mouth appears to be chocolate chip cookie residue, the same type of cookies that are missing. And that there is an empty glass tucked behind his desk that appears to have milk film in it.  Your ears are telling you that you need to keep lit’l Johnny out of your house.  But, your eyes are telling that your beloved child is a liar. Question is which are you to believe?  Which one do you want to believe?

This analogy to me closely describes Mr. Barack Obama’s nearly 8 years in the most powerful political office in the world. As poll after poll tells us that the majority of Americans believe that nation is headed in the wrong direction socially, economically, and nationally.  There are more young Americans unemployed and under-employed in recent history.  The image of the U.S military is that of an aging tiger, that is no longer feared by our enemies, nor trusted by our traditional friends.   Most Americans no longer have any faith or trust in the nation’s institutions – political, religious, or Media.  And there’s chaos and mayhem in the streets of Americans fighting and are being divided over racial discrimination, sexual orientation, political affiliation, religious affiliation, and economic status, at levels no time in the nation’s history.  Even in our nation’s darkest moments history tells us that we the people could come together under one God, one flag, one common language, and or one national identity.  No one can say this today. And yet, according to popular opinion, it is not the fault of the man in the Office, nor his policies.  A man who use to organize political and social chaos and mayhem for a living, before entering the political arena.  Amazing!!

To listen to Mr. O talk about any of the grievous issues that face the nation, you hear him either blame the cause on the Republican Party, his predecessor’s policies, G.W Bush, or he reaches from his behind and pulls out another here before unknown culprit as explanation.  But, it is never, ever, never, ever, ever, himself, nor his policies, the cause of issues that currently face the nation.  It is never he who is the reason that cookie jar is now empty.  And what is most disturbing, the institution that the Founders intended to be the gatekeepers, to alert the people if the governmental creators should misbehave, the Media, is blatantly complicit at best in the government’s treacherous actions, or gross sympathizers and enablers at worst.

His 8-year presidency has been so bad that the current Democrat Presidential contender, Hillary Clinton, dares to boastfully run on any of his pillar policy achievements, in particularly his signature ones – Dodd-Frank or the Affordable Care Act [Obamacare].  In fact, she keeps screaming how bad things are; after nearly 8 years of democrat governance.  And she boast how she can make things better; while quietly planning to follow similar, if not the same, political ideology as Mr. O. She is likely to expand his political social transformation in an even more Saul Alinsky-like manner due to the fact that she actually knew the man and studied under him.  She’ll attempt to take more from the “haves”, to give to the “have nots”.  Or as Karl Marx stated, “Take from those based on their ability, to give to those based on their needs”. And as the nation follows the spiraling course of other socialist/communist governments who believe that it is central government rule, and not free people’s enterprise, that creates everlasting prosperity. She will seek to blame some obscure villain, rather that of her failed ideological policies.

The nation has been under the reign of Mr. O and the Democrat Party for nearly 8 years!  And yet everyone, even the soon-to-be head of his party, member of his party, and his myrmidons, is hard pressed to champion any single great accomplishment that has added to the nation’s wellbeing and prosperity.  But what the vast majority seemingly can concur is that things are not going good today, at all.  Question is, when does the failing condition of the patient [the nation] become the fault or responsibility of the doctor [Mr. O] who’s been caring for him?

The next time you should hear Mr. Obama, or any of his supporters, attempt to stridently claim that the decline of our standard of living and feeling of anxiety in the current and future path of the nation is the fault of someone or something else, and you start to question your eyes over your ears, and therefore maybe even your sanity, take a long glance at these 10 interesting/disturbing facts about Mr. O’s reign as U.S president:

The American people are hurting like in no other time in our history.  The house is ablaze. The neighbors and friends [other nation citizens] have come banging on our doors to warn us on the impending danger, because they have had their house burned down before in similar manner.  But the fire chief [Mr. O], and the Media, is telling us to go back in, all is fine. Ignore the naysayers. No worries.

The 8 years of Mr. Obama’s reign as the president of the United States will undoubtedly be viewed by future historians as the most polarizing, when the nation was truly fundamentally transformed socially, economically, and politically.  Our intuitive defenses were numbed by the relentless bombardment of political correctness. And seemingly the origin of the unprecedented mass disruption could not me be affixed to Mr. O. Like Houdini’s escape from the locked box deeply immersed underwater unscathed, Mr. Obama will leave office having set fire to America with a near 50% overall approval from the citizens of the United States.  Damn he’s good!

The question that will asked by those historians…How could this have happened?  How did we allow it to happen?

 

 

 

 

Kaepernick Is A Pawn In A Galactic Game To Further Divide The Nation

kaepernicks-protest

 

Is it just me, or is it that the sports world and Establishment Media seems to be grossly bending over backwards to accommodate NFL San Francisco’s backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s inexplicable public protest of the United States’ flag and refusal to stand during the National Anthem at the start of games?  They say that they’re respecting Mr. Kaepernick’s right to “freedom of speech”.  But a very good argument can be made that Mr. Kaepernick is just the latest pawn in a treacherous game that is being played at a much higher level than most, maybe himself included, can begin to imagine; with stakes immensely greater than the supposed oppression of Blacks in America by the police and American society that Mr. Kaepernnick, and the other Kaepernickers, are supposed to be giving voice to, as he cashes in his ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR PLUS contract, as a person of the black-American community, living in America.

Even as Mr. Kaepernick sinks further to the end of the 49ers bench as the regular season begins, his actions have started a ripple that has swept up the youngest of our society to detach themselves from the traditional expression of reverence for the nation’s symbol and to no longer stand for the nation’s anthem1.  His actions have given excuse for others to blatantly disrespect the flag by stealing it, burning it, and preforming acts of desecration. His actions have succeeded in further dividing the nation that over the past 7 plus years has become more divided than in the 1960’s, not only racially, but religiously, ethnically, economically, sexual orientation, and by gender.  The nation’s borders, and the very notion of the rule of law, are being eradicated.  Our dominate religion, Christianity,  is being abolished from the public square.  Our traditions and culture, such as Christmas celebrations and even taking pride in our nation’s tradition of exceptionalism are being called culturally offensive. Our nation’s Founder’s and cultural heroes are being called racist. And now Kaepernicking is even being displayed by a woman on the U.S National Soccer team, Megan Rapinoe, while on foreign soil2.  The very things that have woven us together over the past 200 plus years, through the bad and good times – secured and respected national borders, our common language [English], the recognition that Christianity is the national religion, that the Founders and heroes of our great nation are to be revered, and the respect of the dominant symbols of the nation, the nation’s flag and the nation’s anthem, are all being shredded before our eyes. The vast number of participants of the nation’s degradation may be acting with no malice intent are being used for a grander purpose that is totally unknown to them.

What even the most casual observer must ask is what were Kaepernicks true motives when he ignited this controversy that was not so high on his radar last year, or any of the 5 years that he has been in the NFL?  From where I look around him, over 60% of the NFL is composed of black-Americans and the lowest NFL average salary is still over $1 Million3.  Black oppression?  According to the latest U.S Census there are over 5 Million black-Americans with incomes of over $60,000, while the nation average is approx. $40,000.  Black oppression4?  Even the poorest American would not trade places with any other poor person anywhere in the world, whether he is black or white. Let’s get real.  Blacks are not being overtly oppressed in this nation; particularly by law enforcers. We have greater freedoms than in any other nation. A lot of what ills the black community is self-inflicted driven largely not by the lack of opportunity to economic access, but by unwise and uneducated life choices that greatly hinder their access to economic freedom; most of which stem from the irrational love affair with the Democrat Party.

I am not attempting to say that this nation does not have issues when it comes to the black-American community, and other minority communities.  But the real issues of the distress in the Black community is not being addressed by the antics of Kaepernick.  If it was not for the millions of dollars backing social disturbance groups such as “Black-Lives Matters”, by men like extreme Liberal Progressive and huge Democrat backer George Soros, chances are this protest of so-called black oppression, particularly regarding law enforcers, would be given scant or any notice at all5.

The man behind the curtain.

The man behind the curtain.

There are some serious issues that are having devastating effects on the Black community that do deserve some REAL attention such as:

  • Over 1,400 more black Americans murdered other blacks in two years [2010-11] than were lynched from 1882 to 1968. [breitbart.com Nov.2015 Art.]
  • Despite making up just 13% of the population, blacks committed half of homicides in the United States for nearly 30 years. [breitbart.com Nov.2015 Art.]
  • Chicago’s Black death toll is almost equal to that of both wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, combined. [breitbart.com Nov.2015 Art.]  And this is not including the record slayings that have occurred in Chicago this year.
  • Over 70% of babies in the black-American community are born outside of marriage6.
  • Under Mr. Obama, overall Black unemployment has increased by 42 percent, and Black teenage unemployment has risen by 56 percent7.

Just to name a few.

Do you not think that these issues may cause some negative consequences?  Do you think that they may cause even the most well-intended, God-fearing people to just go off?!

Question is, why aren’t these issues being protested Mr. Kaepernick, the Kaepernickers, or Black Lives Matters with George’s millions, hummm?  If they REALLY want to help the Black community.  The oppression of the Black community is not so much external or results of conflicts with law enforcers as it is internal and the results of generations of Democrat and extreme Progressive’s social engineering.

These are real issues that if honestly addressed would go a long way in relieving the extreme pressures and produce a better black-American community and better a America.  But these are not meant to be given a high-profile voice that would be blasted on nearly every sports program and discussed on Establishment Media programs.

The powers-that-be know how to drive a large segment of the American public into an emotional frenzy, involve it in sports, put it on ESPN.  The summer of Black Lives Matter is behind us.  The great Community Organizer is near the end of his reign to engineer social hysteria and divide America.  And Mr. Kaepernick and the Kaepernickers will be mental vapers by summer 2017.  But children, and too many adults, who falsely idolize sports figures today more than many of them idolize their parents will be the real lasting collateral and so too will the nation’s common identity.  Mr. Kaepernick, and others in his position, could be using his vaulted stage to force light on real troubles in the black-American community, of which is he is a part of.  He could be assisting in starting a REAL conversation, to address a REAL issue, to possibly solve a REAL issue. But something tells me that the NFL nor the Establishment would be as accommodating for such a constructive exercise of free speech.
