This country has arguably had great presidents, good presidents, okay presidents, lousy presidents, down right crappy presidents, and the only thing I can say for sure is that if you ask 100 different people to make a list placing our presidents in one of these five groups, you will get 110 different results. There is another category of president however, which has thankfully been without a single member throughout America's history, until now. This new category, entirely because of President Obama, is 'Would be Dictator'.
Candidate Obama, despite the cowardly rhetoric of Republicans, claiming he was merely an unknown commodity rather than a man of obvious Marxist aspirations for America, repeatedly made his vision for America clear while campaigning. Obama constantly voiced his feelings on wealth redistribution, that capitalism is fatally flawed, that government control of all aspects of life is essential for a functioning society, and that he was more than prepared to bypass all obstacles with executive orders. In the presence of all these minor clues, I was made sick to my stomach when supposed guardians of freedom, cried out in the face of Obama's attack on Joe the Plumber as if Obama had finally, for the first time, revealed his true colors.
Clearly, the campaign was not enough for a majority of American voters to see the painfully obvious, but how anyone could ignore nearly everyone Obama surrounded himself with before and after being elected president, and his approach to governing is beyond belief. Hereto I was sickened by those who claim to be watchdogs for freedom, when they only criticized Obama for such poor vetting of those he placed in his administration. Inferior vetting had nothing to do with Obama's outrageous nominations, he unquestionably knew everything about everyone he brought into his fold and was not once taken-a-back by any of their radical views because they are views he obviously shares.
The progressive elitist movement permeates both parties in this country with the Republicans behaving like the older sister constantly trying to persuade her younger brother(the Democrats) to calm down and not blow it by being too impatient. The Republicans know they have a good thing going and all will come to those who wait but they can't seem to convince the Democrats that the one thing that could screw up all their plans is to have the liberals alert the imbeciles(the general public) to the devouring of their Constitutional rights. President Obama's State of the Union Address attack upon the Supreme Court best demonstrates this impatience of the left and their pervasive need to seize immediate control. However, what I found most amusing was the theatrical outrage from Republicans. While they rightly pointed out that Obama's constitutional analysis was laughably baseless, Republican horror was largely the result of them thinking that Obama's errant rant would inspire more people to actually read the Constitution. I'm afraid that the Judge Robert Bork nomination hearings might have been the death cry for our Constitution with Democrats horrified at the prospect that someone could end up on the Supreme Court that was actually aware of the Constitutional House of Cards liberals had constructed. And, if there is any doubt to Republican complicity, think back to how incredibly inept, unenthusiastic, and hermaphroditic Republican defense of Judge Bork was during the confirmation hearing.
Today there is a cry that the Republican Party should embrace the Tea Party movement in order to halt the deformation of our Republic, but this they will never do. I therefore recommend that Americans engage in a little old fashioned usury of their own and support Republicans as long as they are actively working to politically neuter President Obama, then vote them out of office as well. For I truly fear that if Americans don't cleanse Washington D.C, we are perilously close to having elections identical to Cuba and Venezuela, where candidates win with 100% or more of the vote.
