Conservatives who don't get it

When I listen to Rush or Hannity or read Karl Rove or Victor Davis Hanson, sometimes I just shake my head. They are speaking/writing as though Obama really intends to save the country instead of destroy it. They ponder the stupid, idiotic, unpatriotic things he is doing and wonder why he thinks they will work. He's not stupid, gentlemen, and those things like the apology tours or taking over car companies only look dumb if you still believe he has any intention of being a real president. Haven't you ever known anyone whose job it was to fire all his co-workers after a merger, and then finally lock up the empty store and walk out with his paycheck?

Hanson (a classicist and a farmer) begins an excellent story of his relationship with a very difficult neighbor over water rights with a note about the trillions and trillions of national debt Obama is ringing up and how there aren't enough "rich" to tax, so that will leave it to the rest of us to bail him out. He closes with
    "Obama will come to his senses with his ‘Bush did it’, reset button, moral equivalency, soaring hope and change, with these apologies to Europeans, his Arab world Sermons on the Mount to Al Arabiya, in Turkey, in Cairo, etc., his touchy-feely videos to Iran, his “we are all victims of racism” sops to Ortega, Chavez, and Morales. It is only a matter of when, under what conditions, how high the price we must pay, and whether we lose the farm before he gains wisdom about the tragic universe in which we live." VDH June 5
No, he won't "come to his senses," and it isn't just a matter of time, because he hasn't lost them and there is no more time. He is doing exactly what he planned to do, just a little faster than we all expected.

From Jack at the VDH site: "America fought a Revolutionary War, a Civil war and two world wars, Korea, Vietnam, and other dust ups, all under the correct assumption that what America was and what the world aspired to be–to become like America was worth Americans fighting and dying for.

What have we now to show for it? A fat corrupt Europe. An idiot for president who even in a speech to the “world” of Islam cannot accurately recite history that occurred only a few years ago.

Do we as Americans chose Socialists that are de facto communists who will need to turn more and more to fascism to make it all hold together and make the failure all the much greater?

The Banks, the Autos, the medical system, the very lives of Americans now will be controlled by these idiots.

For those who think they are standing on the sidelines observing this and finding humor in it. Guess again.

I see another commenter at VDH site thinks the same as I do:

"Dr. Hanson,

Obama will not come to his senses because he is doing what he set out to do, wreck the United States as it has been until his election. He didn’t spend 20 years, every Sunday, with a hate spewing preacher and not agree with the message; he did not pal around with a known American terrorist who hated America without agreeing with the idea. All of his friends have been associated with Hate America rhetoric. The first thing he did when he took office was go for the money. The next thing was to start wrecking the value of the money supply. He has seized effective control of banks and manufacturing companies. He has brought in mediocre hacks to run things. He left a 31 year old inexperienced doofus in charge of GM. He is encouraging our enemies abroad and snubbing our long time allies.

Obama knows exactly what he is doing.

Ah, Norma, but how to wake up the American people who are under his enchantment? Really that's what we should be brainstorming about.

BTW, like you in yr comment at my site, I am an ex-liberal from college days. What do the libs understand? Feelings. We've got to couch the truth in feelings and simple pictures, and maybe even wrap it somehow in the cloak of resentment and unfairness. Somehow. Translate. Before it's too late.

Ok Norma.

So you actually believe all the lies and hot air Obama blew up the butts of U.S. citizens like yourself arecomming to fruitioin? That's fine. I won't argue the topics you've already mentioned.

But, what about the "end around" plays he's making on other issues? A few examples are:

1)The terrorist prisoners in Guantanimo:

Obama is just going to ship them to another country(s) where their situation will be exactally the same (deservedly so) but, maybe harder to keep and eye on.

2)Our troops in Iraq:

You really think they're all coming home? Yeah right. Obama is going to transfer most of them to Bush's Af/Pak "War on Terror"

Maybe you don't like foreign policy. Fine. How about the Constitutional rights your wonderfully, liberal Obama is MORE than happy to strip away from us?

Like our 1st Amendment rights to freadon of speach on the internet. That counts too you know. Or, our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms. Not to mentioin Obama's lie about Bush's illegal Patriot Act.

In case you didn't know, any bill or executive order written into law that defies the U.S. Constitution is illegal. PERIOD. No exceptions. So, the fact that Obama renewed Bush's Patriot Act is, guess what? Illegal and another lie.

There's a few more that Obama thinks he's pulled over on us but, I'll leave them go. This comment is already a little long winded.

AA: No I don't believe any of his lies, past, present or future; that was the point of this post.

Angry American said...

Sorry for missing your point. I reread your post and it completely went over my head.

I don't know if you're a New World Order consiracy theorist but, I'm not afraid to admit I am. I told everybody I knew who believed in Obama that he's not going to do squat for us. The evidence I've seen and heard about the Feds, as well as the "dooms day" predictions that've come true have opened my eyes.

I just don't understand why people like Rush, who have a major infuence on American listeners, can't see that this is all coming to a head. Or, if they do, why they clam up about it on air. I'd rather speak the truth about what I believe is going on behind closed doors than worry about my reputation in main stream media.

I knew someone whose job it was to dismantle everything and then walk out with his paycheck. His name was George W Bush, and it's going to years to rebuild the devastated economy, health care system, military, constitution and diminished global standing that he left in his wake. Thank God we have the man to do it, and America knows it. Now stand back righties while Obama cleans up your mess.

Norma said...

Now that's a good one. GWB spent more money on social programs than any president up to his time in office, and true, handed Obama a huge bill, which he will so expand it will make our heads spin. Plus BO runs around the world apologizing for the space Americans take up (makes you wonder why so many illegals try to get in), so he can make us look small and himself big. And that's the only way, since the man never accomplished a thing. Never have we had such a narcissist in office in the history of our country, and we've had some pretty self-centered presidents, congress people and judges along the way.

Angry American said...

Good point. lol

But, I refuse to vote for any of these idiots, left or right wing, because they ALL lie and they all do the same things. The only difference is they each use their own terminology. Nothing significant is ever going to change until the stuff hits the fan.
