Cutting Off The Nose

“…he was becoming exasperated with his failure to give him a jobs plan he could sell.”

Is that how these people see themselves - used car salesmen? I thought a president was elected ‘to preserve and protect’; to run things (and not into the ground). I guess I’ve been wrong all along when it comes to this bunch. At least they’re still selling - not yet at gun point. Aside from the fact that governments create only incestuous jobs, they don’t seem to understand that selling always involves no less than two parties. Both have to agree for the deal to go through. So far, there is no deal. The public is not buying.

I heard recently in passing that one of the Federal departments got rid of all their Fords and replaced the original fleet with Chevies. The Chevies were termed ‘junk’ (by the insider) and declared unsuitable to their purpose. Clearly, a conflict. Understandable that the government was wanting to push its own brand - suitability be damned.

When the public favored Ford over Chevy, it did so to make its position clear. All things were not equal. The public preferred one over the other . One accepted a government bailout; the other did not. Buying a Ford proclaimed one’s feeling toward the issue.

No matter how intense the advertising (selling), the public will not buy a ‘socialist mop’ - not the American public at any rate. It’s got to be forced down their throats - gavage. Obama and crew may see us as geese, but that’s not how we see ourselves. We will fight back in our own way.

We know their game: They want jobs so they can trumpet success and collect taxes to fuel their agenda. They make it seem like we are the ones wanting the jobs. We don’t.

If we wanted jobs, we’d get it done. Long before it dawned on Republicans to ‘starve’ offensive government outreach (to Muslims, unions, communists and the like), we the people were already deeply engaged: dragging our heels, holding back, starving (if you will) the government’s ability to proclaim a meaty victory.

We recognized long before the government did - before the media did - that only we could create jobs; that we were the only ones with that power. We could turn off the spigot - and we did. They say socialism fails wherever it‘s tried. Socialism doesn‘t fail; the public rejects it. Cutting off the nose is a worthy sacrifice if the face is no longer the face of America.

Gavage

Watching the clip of the president above, you would think what he says is perfectly reasonable. Who would not want the government to provide better health care to more of our people, cheaper than it is now, and with the added bonus of reducing the national expenditure? It almost sounds too good to be true – and it is. The president is lying.

The bill currently before congress will do none of these things. In fact, if enacted, it will do just the opposite. The people know this. They are against it two to one. They know that this administration and this congress are doing them no favors. Come next election, they will remember how this (as of yet still unread) bill was literally shoved down their unwilling throats, greased with old-fashioned Chicago-style bribes, threats, hubris and sheer bloody-mindedness.

The way this health care bill was passed (and, make no mistake, it will be passed. The Dems got their 60 votes for cloture. For final passage they only need 51, along with the president’s signature) was a legislative outrage. It speaks to a larger pattern which is made perhaps even more obvious in the second part of John’s post (above) regarding the climate conference in Copenhagen. The fact that our president went there in an effort to legitimize an obvious farce, and give away money (we don’t have) in the name of ‘social (eco) justice’ – a concept that, if voted on by Americans, would produce no takers – simply begs for an alternative explanation to his publicly stated reasons.

I have often said that I don’t believe that Barack Hussein Obama is stupid. He does not do what he does out of inexperience; that everything he does is part of a plan. By his own words we know he wants to re-do America. That means he wants America to be different from what it has been. It has been pointed out that an overwhelming number of his closest aides, appointments, associations and influences harbor views that are rooted in Marxism. By his actions thus far he has been proven to be no fan of capitalism. On the geo-political spectrum, Obama is most closely aligned with Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and Brazil’s Lula, both unabashed card-carrying communists.

It is therefore no stretch to assume that BHO intends to impose communism on the United States. In practice, there are two features common to the creation and maintenance of the communist state. One is revolution; the other is strict party discipline, enforced by a dictator (for life). By breaking the bank and destroying the U.S. dollar through reckless spending and accruing unfathomable debt, Obama will have his revolution. By perverting the U.S. Constitution and rendering the whole notion of representative government obsolete, he installs himself as the unopposed leader of his party, the terms of which only he defines.

The Obama-nation will not cease in 2010 or even in 2012. In fact it looks like Obama will win a second term because the opposition vote will be split between Republicans and (independent) Conservatives. By 2016, the opposition will have been silenced altogether. Political struggles will not cease, however. These, as now will simply play out between the Left and the radical Left. The significance of this is that, as now, the American people will no longer have a say.
