Attacking the Sleeping Giant

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. ~ John F. Kennedy 

The Obama administration and Democrats attacked the great “silent majority” of Americans during the Tea Parties and Town-Hall Meetings just because they dared to oppose his socialistic Obama-scare Plan.

• He has not condemned his party leaders for using these following derogatory terms to denigrate the average “grassroots” Americans: Astroturf, un-American, evil-mongers, political terrorists, swastika bearers, brown shirts, right-wing extremists, mobsters, unpatriotic, unrepresentative, right-wing loons, racists, right-wing domestic terrorists, Talibani, silly, and many other disgusting terms that only left-wing extremist liberal democrats, secular progressives, and Marxist-socialists would use.
• He insulted all medical doctors by accusing them of cutting off a diabetic’s foot for $30K and removing healthy tonsils instead of treating simple sore throats – just to make more money!

Huge Mistake. People say that Obama is smart and even a genius. I doubt it. Any president who goes against the will of the majority of the populace is not that bright to me. It is like saying that he knows better than every one of us. I have never before seen any president tear down the people who actually put him in office. However, that is what Obama is doing. That is why his polls show him tanking. The only reason that he did not “get it” or he did not “hear us” on his Healthcare Plan and everything else that he as crammed down our figurative throats is that he has a hidden agenda. All we get from the president are lies, a redefinition of Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, and smoke & mirrors. What a sad omen.

In a discussion that centers on the meaning of the word “tax,” Bob Leibowitz (2009) reports that President Obama tells us that relying on the definition listed by Merriam-Webster is “stretching.” Instead, we should just accept his position, i.e., the dictionary is wrong, let us move on. Courtesy of ABC News, here is the transcript of the September 20, 2009, interview (argument?) between George Stephanopoulos and President Obama, over whether the requirement that every person in America must purchase government-approved insurance or pay a fine. The incoherence is in the original. I presume Mr. Obama’s teleprompter had the day off. Stephanopoulos said, “That may be, but it’s still a tax.”  This interplay on television was very sad to see the president lying through his teeth. He looked just like Clinton when he said, “It all depends on what is, is.”

Thomas Sowell (2009), a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, wrote that someone recently pointed out how much Barack Obama’s style and strategies resemble those of Latin American charismatic despots – the takeover of industries by demagogues who never ran a business, the rousing rhetoric of resentment addressed to the masses, and the personal cult of the leader promoted by the media. However, do we want the United States to become the world’s largest banana republic?  Apparently, we are heading in that direction. However, a quote of the great Abraham Lincoln gives us hope:

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the time. ~ Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the U.S., (1809-1865)
