Smart Enough To Do It Again

It has been two years since BHO was sworn into office and as I sit here I cannot help but wonder, “HOW DID HE GET ELECTED?” Really, we need to think about this so that it cannot possibly happen again. Let’s face it, this guy is the worst of the worst; Jimmy Carter has to love the joke that he is no longer the worst president ever. My point is valid; we must analyze how this happened or it is bound to happen again and again and I am not sure we can survive another two years let alone another six years.

So, how did Obama get elected? Can you find one pundit that has a plausible answer, an answer that satisfies your sensibilities? The left are constantly telling us that no mistake was made, that he is truly the best of the best. Immediately we have to discount them as either stupid or that they have no clue as to what has really happened; either way that makes their argument not worthy of consideration. Only a utopian ideologue could possibly believe that American is headed on the right course. Therefore, please don’t leave a comment to the contrary, cyberspace is limited and we don’t need to take up valuable KB’s with this non-sense.

The RINO’s and the elite on the right tell us that he got elected because of “white-guilt.” Now, the Bible tells me that I am guilty but I cannot find where it says that I am guilty because I am white, a Caucasian, or a light skinned cracker.  But I thought the race issue was solved by LBJ? Haven’t  we spent over a trillion dollars since 1970’s to end racial prejudice and make up for our racial hatred and slavery? Yes we did spend the cash; but the jack-booted thugs, Jackson, Sharpton, etc, keep their foot on the necks of the black community and would not allow them to take advantage of the opportunities mandated by government. Should I as a white cracker feel guilty about that? That lead us to the question, did we really vote for BHO because he was black? NO! If the color of his skin had been a issue for the white and guilty then why wouldn’t that same conservative community have voted for a black man who was clean, articulate, and really smart; I am referring to Alan Keyes, not BHO. Keyes is one of the smartest men I know, white or black. He is one of the most articulate men I know; he uses words I never heard of and uses them correctly. I have never stood next to him, but I am pretty sure he is clean. So why did so many conservatives and independents vote for Obama when they would never have voted for great men like Keyes? Obviously race had little or nothing to do with it. Keyes just happened along at the wrong time with the wrong party affiliation. So, what led us down the road to ruin and vote for Obama?

First, we were tired of George Bush and his elite buddies in the Whitehouse. Bush was a big spending, big government liberal. The only thing he got right was the war on terror. He summarily allowed congress to spend us into oblivion. What he did was incredible stupid; he spent when he should have been saving. Yes he did lower tax rates and that was a good thing; but there was no way that trickle-down could keep pace with the Bush spending habits. Realizing that the average conservative American is stupid  the elite RINO’s then nominated John McCain as a replacement for Bush. McCain was more of the same; and worst than that he was a political has-been that never was. Be honest, do you really think he got elected to the senate because he is so smart; or was it because he was a war hero?  The American public has a tremendously soft spot in their hearts for war heroes, and rightly so; but let’s not be so maudlin again when it comes to veterans. They deserve every chance to succeed post military service; but they also need good leadership in government like everyone else. The point being we were tired of Bush and we all knew that McCain was not the answer, so we voted for BHO.

What we desired from the bottom of our heart, or maybe it was from the bottom of our wallets, was change and change is what BHO offered, and to our chagrin it was not the change that we wanted. But I don’t understand why everyone is so surprised; he repeatedly told everyone exactly what kind of change he was offering up. Remember the speech in California, “you can’t eat as much as you want, you can’t drive as much as you want, you can’t keep your house warm in the winter and cool in the summer like you want.” There was also the confrontation with Joe the plumber; “we are going to spread the wealth around.” What makes us amazingly stupid is that  BHO words were simple and easily understood; he told all of us that his intent was to fundamentally change America, that he was going to move it to a socialistic society where the middle class would no longer exist. How could we have possibly missed that?

We missed this because we were desperate for a government that would be responsive to the people and one that would do the right thing no matter the consequences of the next election.  Unfortunately the American populous lives in a dream world because it thinks that you can elect a left wing liberal that gives a darn what the people want and what is the right thing to do. Reid, Pelosi, and Obama have proven that to be true by their pompous patronizing over the last two years with bail-outs and health-care legislation.

We snookered ourselves; we believe the teleprompter and failed to see that it read only words; words without meaning, words that had no foundation of morality and American constitutional values. We bought into the idea that America was not the great country that it should have been. We were told, and believed, that we had intentionally keep the poor, the weak, and the racial minorities down at the bottom of pit.  We were told that we lacked compassion and concern for those who were less fortunate.  We were told that “good people” would want to share the fruits of their hard work, and that the way to do it was to give it to a government bureaucracy that really cared and could most efficiently handout our money to others. We were told that if we didn’t vote for and elect BHO that we were filled with racial hatred.  We were told that smart people would vote for BHO, and that those that didn’t were middle America hicks, and who would want to be a “red-necked” hick?  What is sad and pathetic is that many people believed the hype; add to that, that we were so desperate for change that we failed to hear what BHO said about his intentions and you have an electorate that is headed for catastrophe.

You may be shaking your head and saying to yourself, “how could we have allowed ourselves to be duped?” Well, as they say, “it isn’t over until the fat lady sings.”  What I am implying is that the deception isn’t over,  we are only two years away from the next election and polling data indicates that in all probability BHO will be re-elected. Just this morning new data shows that his approval rating is up four points to 48%.  We made a difference this last election, we sent people to Washington who wants the same change we want. Now we have to hold their feet to the fire; but more importantly we have to keep our eye on the goal and not get apathetic. We have to put this change out of office and elect a change we can believe in.

Ask yourself the question this question, “are we smart enough to do it again?” Do what again, elect BHO? No, are we smart enough to vote in change? The apostle Paul dealt with a similar issue concerning the church and told his protégé, Timothy, ⁽³⁾ For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; ⁽⁴⁾ and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables, 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NKJV). Paul was addressing the issue of teaching God’s word to the church, his ministry had little or nothing to do with politics; but the principle is the same, we seek the cheap, the easy, and what we desire to hear; when what we really want and need is the truth. One more time, ask yourself, “are we smart enough to do it again?”

King Of The Dump

When a country is suffering from bad government an awareness of this knowledge is vital to keeping ourselves free. The United Sates is becoming a “Dump” through bad government and the question is why anyone would demand that their freedoms be removed so they could live in a “dump?”

Rationally success is leading a free people, not leading in the “Dump” of the apathetic, poor and enslaved. Unfortunately the later seems to be the position of choice.

Dump Living

Over time societies and cultures undergo changes by electing new leaders with new ideas; sometimes for the good, sometimes for the worst and sometimes just for the sake of change. As a governed people we reap the rewards for the good decisions and we suffer the consequences of the bad decisions. The notables for leaders who have made poor decisions have been T. Roosevelt, Wilson, F.D. Roosevelt, Nixon, Carter, Clinton, Bush, and Obama. What the poor decisions were is not applicable to our discussion, it is only necessary to understand that some of the ideas that they carried forward have eroded our constitution and freedoms.

The abuse and misuse of power follows a pattern. They misuse, we lose; misuse breads abuse, we lose more and in final desperation we demand that government takes ultimate control to lessen the chaos. In our apathy we fail to see the contempt that our Kings have for the constitution, for our Judeo-Christian values, and for a free people living in a republic. When we fail to realize the nature of man and the degree of derision that our politicians have for us, we suffer the consequences of that contempt. Our unwillingness to take responsibility for our lives makes us the source of our own despair. We have been convinced by our officials, and a bias media, that the only way to move forward is to continue to elect people who say they present a consistent and organized response to the chaos that they created.

In the morass of cultural decline we see these people as “spiritual leaders” and not as servants of the common good; thus their service is to themselves and not to the people who elected them. Our enthusiasm in seeking “spiritual leadership” is wrong minded. We look to and demand from government things that it was never intended to deliver. Spirituality should come from faith.

When our government is short on answers, we looked to other nations for solutions. We first looked to Germany and people like Immanuel Kant which lead to German Idealism with it the philosophies of Hegel and Marx. Post World War II our institutions garnered leadership from the “Frankfurt School” of philosophy. If you throw into this mix notables like Darwin and biological evolution, John Maynard Keynes and government back economic optimism, John Dewey and outcome based education, and Sigmund Freud who promoted the ideas that self-esteem and sexual determinism has greater value than self-achievement, you then have a formula for a social disaster funded through a corrupt government.

Our need to be like other nations is reckless and without merit because of their failures. As a result we have allowed men without conscience to dictate change that we didn’t take the time to understand. What we have forgotten is that the strength of our nation has been that we are unlike the other nations.

Dump Kings

Working from the presupposition that our country has rejected our Judeo-Christian values has lead to an unnecessary intrusion into our relationships between God and country, and a free people and the constitution. It is those values and principles that have made us stronger as a country; with the world’s leading economy, strongest military, and still the freest of peoples.

New Kings have rejected our values and traditions understanding that “if you believe in nothing you will fall for anything.” The values that we did hold have now become politically incorrect; euphuism for Marxist speech and thought control. Our Kings have done this through the abuse of the educational process.

Next, our King will want to take our finest to serve his cause. The Kings tried to do this through the military, but our military is too entrenched in “esprit de corps” and has not given in to a Commander and Chief that wants to oppress the people. One King tried to take our finest via the Peace Corps. It was a failure but did serve as a precedent for future Kings. Today’s King would like to use a youth corps trained and indoctrinated in camps. R.F. Youngblood writes, “By nature royalty is parasitic rather than giving, and Kings are never satisfied with the worst.”

Kings place people in authority who take our resources by limiting our right to own and keep property. They launch punitive taxes leaving us little and using our resources to provide mechanisms for the Kings to reinforce their armies, secret police, luxurious lifestyles, and to support the dupes that swear allegiance to their authoritarian rule, all with our dollars.

You will be left with nothing, not even the right to cry foul. There have been many who have warned us not to make the same mistakes; yet we do not listen. This is not a new ideology; yet throughout history many have fallen into the clutches of those whose only purpose in life is to be the King of The Dump. Our country stands on the precipice of our last denial, that the King is ready to take the throne. Do we have the fortitude to say he can’t take our best, he can’t take our resources, and he can’t take our freedoms?
