Before his coronation as King of the Earth and all its human inhabitants, Barack Obama was variously described by his cult of personality and his now semi-flaccid media lapdogs as "The Messiah"; "The One"; "America's first post-racial, post-partisan, post-(pick an adjective) president".
But things have changed. Today, it is not at all uncommon to hear the terms "Marxist", "thug, "Socialist", the Anti-Christ"; "usurper" and "narcissist" thrown about by Americans from all walks of life when describing Barack Obama. What a difference a year makes.
America now understands Barack Obama, what he meant by "change", his thought processes, empty promises and Chicago thuggery. They understand what I've been telling them since November of 2007. They've had it with his milquetoast apologies and subservient bows. They've had it with his job-killing, deficit-exploding, freedom-sapping, Constitution-shredding, America-hating agenda. They've had it with his unchecked spending orgy, his lies about health care and his failure to govern from the center. They've had it with his bastardization of science and economics and his politicizing of military decisions. They've had it with his muzzling and intimidation of the opposition. They've had it with the tired myths of his incredible superhuman intellect and mastery of verbal craft, which, in the absence of his Teleprompter are wholly unimpressive. They've had it with the alarm that preceded his takeover of banks and auto makers, the pork-laden thievery of his stinkulus bill, which was entirely unnecessary and front-loaded to aid Democratic candidates in 2010, the panic of the alleged "national emergency" that resulted from the spread of the H1N1 virus, which ended up being nearly six times less fatal than seasonal flu, and all of the other fear he's spread and hasty decisions he's made with their money or freedoms. They've finally had it with the hypocrisy, waste, corruption, greed and incompetence in Washington and now believe the federal government is out of control.
Take so-called "climate change": Hillary Clinton was unable to break through in Copenhagen. But, after a few phone calls, she promised to pony up what she called "real money"; billions of dollars from developed nations (our share of which would ironically be borrowed from the Chinese) if the Chinese put their money (which they get by selling us crap and then loan back to us with interest) where their mouth is. More ironically, those peaceful environmentalists and supporters of a legally-binding, global emissions-reduction treaty protested the lack of such a treaty by hurling bricks. Most ironically, a storm that dumped record levels of snow, killed several people and knocked out power in DC forced Barack Obama to leave the global warming summit early, without his treaty.
Take ObamaCare: Harry Reid was unable to break through on a Senate health care bill for many moons, or, so the "moderates" would have you believe. Then the deal making began. Olympia Snowe could have stopped what is being described as this "legislative train wreck", yet she, along with Mary Landrieu, Ben Nelson, Joe Lieberman, Blanche Lincoln and many other "moderate" senators voted to advance health care legislation at every step of the process. Now, Snowe acts surprised when Harry Reid wants to stink up the capitol with his legislative crapfest on Christmas Eve when everyone is preoccupied with family.
Mary Landrieu originally set the price for a Senate health care vote at $300,000,000.00 and then Ben Nelson,
first threatened with the BRAC listing of Nebraska's Offut Air Force Base if he didn't march in lockstep on health care (which he denies ), was later greased by Harry Reid, who dangled enough taxpayer money in front of Nelson's nose to cover the gap in Nebraska state Medicaid costs forever. Additionally, the language that Nelson allegedly sought restricting federal funding for abortion actually further opened the door to taxpayer-funded abortions by leaving the decision up to the states.
The Tea Party movement, which engaged in civil, yet heated protest against this out of control government was labeled a mob by Democrats and nearly all network and cable news outlets, with the exception of Fox. Veterans, seniors, soccer moms and parents of the disabled were accused by Nancy Pelosi of "sounding" violent, notwithstanding that the perpetrators of every single act of physical violence that took place during the Town Hall protests; every single racially-motivated attack on innocent, African-American button vendors, every sucker-punch that was thrown and every finger that was chewed off, were SEIU goons or other ObamaCare advocates who were bussed in to disrupt the movement. But it didn't work. The Tea Party movement is stronger than ever, is polling higher than Democrats or Republicans despite its non-party status and is the only thing standing between what remains of America and Democrat plans to dismantle it.
Knowing what they now know of Democrat plans for this nation; complete transformation and aspirations for government control that stretch back to the early part of the last century; Americans are fighting back, and in stark contrast to their brick-hurling contemporaries overseas, peacefully confronting their representatives, staging H1N1 sickouts, days of prayer and Code Red protests. In November of 2010, they'll make their voices heard even louder.
No matter how many Democrats parrot the DNC talking points that ObamaCare or any of his other tyrannical "reforms" won't grow deficits, ration care, restrict freedoms, raise taxes, assault our Constitution or harm American businesses, they cannot hide the facts that Americans, particularly the nation's seniors, who have been disproportionately marginalized by those whose soiled diapers they once changed, instinctively know a lie when they see the lips of DC politicians, who are nothing more than failed lawyers with nowhere else to go, part to speak.
Despite Barack Obama's best efforts to spin the weekend news, the failure at Copenhagen wasn't an unprecedented agreement, there was no vote in the Senate to congratulate himself on, only a few bribes and it isn't health care reform that is standing at precipice in the US Senate, but the political future of the Democrat Party.
