Pied Piper Obama

Purportedly the Pied Piper events took place in Hamelin on June 26, 1284. The story is that a rat infestation led to a reward for their removal. A piper arrived in town seeking the reward for removing the pests. Denied his reward he retaliated by luring all the town’s children away. We’ll never know whether the Pied Piper of old entered a desperate Hamelin as a con man or as the go-to guy to lure the rats out of Dodge. An increasingly irrelevant mainstream media (MSM) and headed-for-midterm Democrats are now blaming Obama for going too far to the left.

They blame him for creating economy-destroying policies and for letting ideology override reason and logic in a way that threatens those values that made the US successful. But they were the same ones who brought him to town to get rid of the rats personified by the nasty capitalists, bankers, industrialists, and entrepreneurs who forged the most successful economy and society in history. It takes a real town overrun by rats to seek the services of a celebrated Pied Piper. A rat’s nest created by ideology run amok is only a manufactured crisis. The MSM and Dems were the ones who idolized and promoted Obama while failing to see what was so frighteningly obvious. As they say, there are none so blind as those who will not see. You are known by the company you keep is another appropriate cliché because you have to deliberately overlook the long list of Obama’s associations to know what the man was about. If it was just Jeremiah Wright or Bill Ayers an excuse is possible, but there are too many people accompanied by too numerous actions, activities and writings to ignore or pretend they were of no significance. You can argue that Obama is a con artist who pretended to be more centrist during the campaign, but that only fooled those who wanted to be fooled. Obama and his gang, with the contrivance of the MSM, silenced those who did see what he was doing by inferring they were right wing racists. For them there is no pleasure in “I told you so.” His duplicity and confidence tricks continued once in power. Publicly he tended to be mealy-mouthed about his positions so the MSM continued to believe he was not an extreme leftist. He did this so well that the extreme left, which knew he was putting on a show to get elected, believed he had sold them out. Despite this his actions were so rapid and extreme that an increasing percentage of those were fooled were beginning to see the realities. The MSM only began to catch on recently as they saw more and more people, especially Democrats, begin to abandon the Piper. Meanwhile Obama was implementing his left wing policies leading to almost total government control by avoiding the checks and balances the Founding Fathers had put in place to anticipate actions by such a demagogue. They were opposed to totalitarianism whether it came from the left or right. 20th century Americans never dreamed it could come from the left and with such lightning speed. They did not realize that once a bureaucratic Frankenstein was created it could not be killed and would require constant appeasement. Worse, they perpetuated problems rather than resolving them. Another cliché fist; you can’t beat City Hall. This involved almost total subservience and surrender of freedom, the very values that makes the US successful and unique. People tend to think of smaller government as fewer representatives, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. Pied Piper Obama has taken the children in the form of the bureaucracies and that percentage of the population who want government to do everything for them. The cliché that evolves from the Pied Piper story is that the piper must be paid. In Britain the new conservative government and the people are already confronted with the cost. The end of the Pied Piper Obama story is still in the making. Not likely those who hailed him at his inauguration ever thought they’d star in the modern remaking of the Pied Piper as the rats deserting a sinking ship.
