OBAMA UNWILLING TO HEED ANCIENT CHINESE SAYING

Despite there being so many people on Obama's team that seem to be more fond of China than the United States, I was not surprised that President Obama chose to ignore the wise counsel of Confucius. Once again, Obama and the impatience of the left will, hopefully, prove their undoing. President Obama's summation at the Health Care Summit made it clear that leftists have been waiting over fifty years to jump on the European health care monstrosity, or perhaps more aptly termed, a "Logan's Run" style of health care, and government control of health care was an 'all or nothing' proposition in his eyes. Admittedly, President Obama provided patronizing and insulting lip service to Republican comments, invariably saying, "that's a legitimate point of discussion", but always I heard the unspoken coming from his tone: 'screw you, I was elected King . . . er-ah . . . president'. Please do not conclude I am complaining, for I believe if the committed left adhered to the proverb that 'even a journey of a thousand miles, begins with a single step', and did not always assume a posture of an arrogant bully every time political winds grant them the power, we would probably be already speaking an ebonic-like bastardized melding of German, Russian, and Chinese.

I have little doubt that Obama sees himself as the consummate benevolent monarch attempting to do what is best for his illiterate subjects, but his personality and style of governing are more in line with Jack, from the "Lord of the Flies". I do see, however, one good thing coming from this attempt at an Obamacare infomercial, though congressional members largely held their venom in check, President Obama put his inflexibility and entrenched ideology on full display and, while I believe public opinions might have been intensified, I suspect, none were changed.

LOONY LIBERALS DRAW UP COMMITMENT PAPERS ON TEA PARTY AND CONSERVATIVES

Mentioning the Founding Fathers infuriates Democrats more than quoting the Hippocratic Oath terrifies doctors. While the English language is arguably the most expressive language in the world, the lefts' assault upon the tea party protesters spotlights the English language's lone delinquency: there is no word for justifiable paranoia. According to the Democrats, the Tea Party is made up entirely of racist white elderly rednecks, that are too stupid to be allowed to breath, much less, have or voice opinions. In fact, the liberal media never misses an opportunity to berate Fox News for giving the Tea Party any airtime at all and accuses them of being the driving force behind the movement. If these tactics sound familiar, please note that our Founding Fathers have been demonized, called racists, and are depicted in school text books as wealthy, self-serving, narcissists who duped the colonists into doing their bidding, rather than truthfully presenting them as noble and brave men who risked their lives to birth a nation founded on personal liberty.

Virtually every liberal is committed to dismantling our Constitution, and while conservatives are disillusioned they are not delusional. To a liberal, the Bill of Right does not comprise a list of rights given to all, (as our Founding Fathers insisted) but are privileges only to be afforded to those in utter lock step with leftist ideology. According to a liberal, Freedom of Speech is only to be granted to the New York Times, MSNBC, Air America, and their allies in the war against free thought and personal freedoms. The fact that so many politicians are actively working towards the total elimination of dissenting voices to their agenda of obliterating the Constitution doesn't scare me nearly as much as the fact so many of the public have been brain-washed to think it is a good thing. Public schools stopped teaching over thirty years ago that the silencing of opposing thought is essential for the proliferation and maintenance of oppressive government and manifestly leads to a complete loss of personal freedom. Recent polls have indicated that over 25% of the American public prefers a socialistic form of government to that which was formulated by our Founding Fathers, and a nearly equal percentage of respondents were unable to decide which they preferred. Tragically, I too, must be falling prey to indecision, for I'm finding it very difficult to decide which group I find more evil and threatening to our nation: the committed commiealists or those who are so stupid, uninformed, and casual about the survival of our Nation that they are without an opinion.

I see it as no accident that the memo detailing the greatest terrorist threat to our nation to be from the right wing was released just ahead of the Tax Day Protests. Since President Obama's crowd cannot defend their positions in the arena of honest debate, they wanted to label all the protesters not only as right-wing nuts, but dangerous right-wing extremists. What if those that believe that FEMA'S ineptness during Katrina was because the organization is not structured to assist with natural disasters but to round up dissidents and make them disappear are correct? Were this to be the case, the possible flood of Obama sanctioned habeas corpus violations would make the fabricated examples at Guantanamo Bay look like a tea party.

The Tea Party and true conservatives look at the Constitution as a written declaration of the undying spirit of a free people; however, liberals call the Constitution a living document so they can disfigure it or murder it outright. Though our Founding Fathers attempted to immunize the Constitution from deadly infections and poisons, I fear President Obama and his Congressional gang of pushers has finally managed to inject the Constitution with a lethal overdose of anachronism and are intentionally squandering money so that none remains to purchase anti-toxin.

MILLIONS TO STUDY ANT SOCIETY

Most people who devote time examining our government's budget searching for waste were perplexed upon learning that millions of tax dollars were slated to fund studies of ant society and thinly veiled studies to research the most effective ways to manipulate the opinions of the general public. I, on the other hand, could measure the duration of my surprise in a matter of nano-seconds. Given President Obama's goals and desires for America, I found his support for the study as making perfect sense. For at least forty years I've contended that communism worked fine at the insect level but it becomes evil when implemented above the level of ants and bees. With all due respect to PETA and like minded organizations, I admit to being ignorant as to whether or not, within each ant or bee colony, a population of dissidents exists whose goal is to obtain equal rights and freedom for all bugs.

Since becoming aware of the grants sponsoring the study of optimum brainwashing techniques and ant society I felt they were obviously geared on how to best structure a lasting communist society, but something did not fit. Then, it hit me like a ton of feathers. The need for these studies is not how to configure an enduring communistic superstructure for America, for that vision is already clear in the minds of Obama and his troop, but it is more a matter of how best to market their societal transformation and solving the problem of how to get rid of those annoying gadflies who still inexplicably look fondly at the likes of Thomas Jefferson. Over the course of hundreds of millions of years insects have become genetically hardwired to the drone or worker mentality, but the process of evolution, which enabled them to develop to this state has not suddenly stopped. So, I suspect what most interests Obama and his crowd is how insects purge themselves of those which exhibit mutant behaviors of individuality.

I fully acknowledge that many will view my assessment as belonging in a boxcar aboard the conspiracy rail road, but that position is only possible as a result of feeble memories and utter ignorance. I lost count years ago, as to how many times leftist legislation has been proposed and conservative opposition has been drummed out by the favorite line of the left: 'that's taking it to an extreme, that could never happen in America'. Of course, the end result of the legislation invariably and ultimately damages America more severely than its' detractors originally claimed or thought possible.

Personally, it is not that politicians treat the voting public as if they were morons that most bothers me, for clearly many are, but what truly infuriates me is that politicians are such phenomenal imbeciles themselves and to have such vile idiots look at me as if I were cognitively challenged by comparison, is what I find intolerably repugnant. And to the progressive left, simply that ant and bee societal structure has endured for hundreds of millions of years does not mean that their longevity is translatable to humans. I guess putting these thoughts to paper is my way of claiming allegiance with the handful of freedom fighting insects left in America.

DOES ANY STATE THAT BROUGHT US AL FRANKEN DESERVE TO WIN?

As a kid, I did not know the state of Minnesota was so screwed up. I was content watching Fran Tarkenton with only Bill Brown and momentum on his side, stage comeback after comeback with only a minute or two remaining, only to see Green Bay or Chicago stroll down the field in a few seconds to defeat the Vikings. Norm Van Brocklyn football was the dirtiest form found in either league, and the huge number of penalties levied was proof that everyone knew it, yet I rooted the team named after my ancestors unflinchingly.

When Bud Grant came along with Joe Kapp in tow, everything changed. The Vikings cleaned up their game, drafted well, began trouncing the traditional bullies, and became the team everyone would choose to have escort them down a dark alley in a bad neighborhood. The only drawback was that referees still treated Minnesota as a dirty team even though they had become the cleanest in football and Norm Van Brocklyn was little more than a memory. The Vikings went to four Superbowls during their heyday and should have gone to a fifth, but back then, officials never let anything get in the way of America's team(Dallas Cowboys)and the big game.

By the time the championship game with Dallas came along, I figure I was alone among Vikings fans, wanting them to go to the Superbowl and lose it again. Back then I had concluded that the world would end before another team went five times without a victory, thus firmly establishing the Vikings in history. Even with the loss to Dallas, I thought there was little chance that any team would go four times without a victory even if the world does not end in 2012(thanks alot Broncos and Bills). Basically, the Vikings viewed each of their Superbowls as just another game, much like Democrats view the Constitution as just another piece of paper. Of course, being out-coached all four games was a factor as well.

This past season was a bit different. To hell with history, go to the Superbowl and win it, I thought, but this was not to be. Clearly, untold millions more will be wagered on the Saints/Colts game than would have come in on a Vikings/Colts game even if you don't count the millions of dollars that will be wagered by those who scammed FEMA following Katrina. And no telling how many people who could no more find Louisiana on a map than stand on their heads and spit rubber nickles will be risking future lottery winnings on the Saints.

I've supplied you with all of my past feeble-minded rationalizations so you can bear witness to what I hope will be my last. While I did not condemn Minnesota for electing Jesse Ventura, a man who clearly did a good job hiding his manic tendencies during his campaign for governor, but electing Al Franken, give me a #^$*ing break! While I'm confident that Franken actually lost by three to five hundred votes(a margin that no democrat hadn't the power to defraud) the fact that Franken received more than a few thousand votes from those that regularly call Minnesota asylums home, is unimaginable. So, because of this, I contend that the State of Minnesota did not deserve to have the better team win in New Orleans.

IT IS IRRATIONAL TO GIVE OBAMA THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT

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.

OBAMA: POSITIVE HE CAN FOOL ENOUGH PEOPLE ALL THE TIME

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. George Bush had difficulty reciting this old saying, inadvertently reversing it once (to my recollection). President Obama, on the other hand, doesn't have to keep this old saying straight in his mind because he has his own personal variation: Not only can I fool them once, I can fool them time and time again. President Obama's State of the Union Address was, in my opinion, the best speech he has ever given. It was clearly an improvement upon his campaign speeches, yet eerily packed full of the same rhetoric and promises. He promised to put a halt to earmarks and insisted that earmarks be posted on the Internet before any vote in Congress. Aside from the blatant inconsistency of this promise, Obama is counting on people to have forgotten that he claimed his stimulus bill had no earmarks, while a conservative count measured over 9,000 earmarks within the bill, and as to transparency, he promised that any health care bill would be posted on the Internet for all to see before any vote. I personally felt the liberal destruction of education was complete, but how it must have annoyed President Obama to have to promise to a re-commitment to total destruction of education since the election in Massachusetts clearly indicated that their job was not yet finished. He proposed increased tax incentives for higher education, but I fear that could easily apply only to fields approved by the Obama administration. He again promised to 'look into' clean coal, bio fuels, nuclear energy, and oil and gas production. This was identical to promises made during the campaign, and the result was no incentives, much less any lifting of barriers, making it virtually impossible for a nuclear plant to get off the drawing board, and claimed advances in bio-fuels resulted in a tripling of the cost of produce, reduction in food exports, and proving to all but the unimaginably dense that bio-fuels are environmentally unsound. And while the lip service to clean coal technology was obscene, nothing can compare to his crowing about having opened up millions of acres for oil and gas exploration early in his presidency. Not only were the vast majority of the opened lands of unknown potential, they were in areas in which extraction would cost two to three times more than areas of well established reserves.

Perhaps the most grotesque component of President Obama's spewings was an announced freeze in government spending after 2010. Obama claiming this was a commitment to fiscal responsibility would be laughable if the freeze were enacted today. Not only have most government budgets increased by nearly 20 percent in 09', Obama gives congress a whole additional year to pad budgets before the freeze. Logically, this will result in a significant increase in spending more than if there were no freeze at all.

Finally, Obama's commitment to clean up the status quo in Washington is worse than comical. Even though one could argue that JFK brought Chicago politics into the 1960 election, it took Obama to bring Chicago politics to the White House.
