How Do You Like These Odds?

Many of us shake our heads in both amazement and fear for the future of our country. What is being done is not new. History is replete with examples of power-crazed fools implementing similar schemes to develop their personal views of Utopia. None ever succeeded. All made matters worse.

Now, Barack Obama is trying to convince you that he knows better. He is smart enough to do what no one else has accomplished. He is smart enough to overcome basic human nature. Do you think betting on his success would be a good bet?

If so, then you better know whose ideas Mr. Obama is saying are wrong in order to claim his are correct. Doug Ross puts the plans and ideals of our current set of jackasses into perspective with a series of questions:

If government worked as Obama and the National Socialist Democrats say it will, then why would we care about separation of powers? Why would we care about different levels of government?

Why would we care about the Constitution?

Why was this nation founded in the first place?

If government is so beneficent, so effective, so humane and compassionate, how is it that throughout all of human history, the great philosophers and thinkers were so fearful of it?

Aristotle, Cicero, Locke, Montesquieu, Edmund Burke, Adam Smith, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and so many more.

Were they all wrong about government and Obama right?

Were they all wrong about limiting, balancing, placing checks on government? Were they all wrong about liberty?

Is human history all wrong and Obama right?

Is human history all wrong and Nancy Pelosi right?

Is human history all wrong and Harry Reid right?

Do you really think Obama, Pelosi and Reid hold a candle to the greatest thinkers civilization has ever seen?

Because for Obama to be right; and for his party, now in the hands of the radical left, to be right; the Founders had to be wrong.

For Obama to be right, the Declaration of Independence has to be wrong.

For Obama to be right, the Constitution has to be wrong.

For Obama to be right, Aristotle, Cicero, Locke, Montesquieu, Burke, Smith and the founding fathers all had to be wrong.

Even if you are some brainwashed media member or merely a cell-phone awarded groupie of the President’s, these questions should trouble you. Sadly, many of our current zombies probably don’t know most of the people mentioned in the previous paragraph.
