2014: Last Chance to Save America

Lawrence Sellin, Ph.D.

The United States is now facing an existential crisis due to executive tyranny, legislative malfeasance, judicial complicity and journalistic partisanship.

The Obama administration is corrupt, authoritarian and antithetical to the principles upon which the country was founded, and there are precious few in Congress, either party, who are willing to step forward and stop the violations of the Constitution.

As Ayn Rand noted, we are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.

Contrary to the official narrative, Barack Obama is less a champion of democracy and leader of the free world, than a reincarnation of the petulant, self-admiring King Richard II of England (1367-1400) who, trapped in an adolescent fantasy of indestructability, mistook himself for a messiah. By issuing royal decrees Richard II bypassed parliament and went out of his way to lavish favors on his closest friends and advisors.

But all such narcissism-induced national “transformations” do not happen in a political vacuum or occur without willful negligence. The English Parliament facilitated Richard II by approving the 1380 tax in the same way the US Congress and America’s politicized courts facilitate Obama’s own worst instincts.

Equally, the American establishment media, shedding their pretense of objectivity and succumbing to their left-wing dispositions, both enthusiastically support and aggressively defend Obama’s radical policies. Rather than restraining the power of the federal government, they have become an extension of it and serve the interests of the status quo, which primarily benefits greedy and ambitious ruling elites. The media enable tyranny by misinforming and misleading citizens. It is not a democracy that the media wish to foster, but what Edmund Burke described as a liberal “mobocracy,” dedicated to the absolute authority of King Obama and his government of one-world progressives.
