If I’d supported America’s “Dreamer-in-Chief,” as political observer Charles Krauthammer calls him, and had plastered stickers on my truck’s bumper touting the promised hope-and-change hokey (which became instead the exchange of “change” in the gazillions for hopelessness), by now I’d have scraped it off so as not to advertise how badly I was duped in November 2008.

No doubt the self-professed, enlightened, secular progressives who worship the so-called Messiah, those who pop up in large numbers in such societal sinkholes as Hollywood and in anti-American organizations like ACORN, and, of course, in the left-wing media, will never admit they successfully campaigned to elect a candidate with no prior leadership experience, and will never face the truth that, figuratively speaking, they’ve hung around the necks of their children an albatross representing insurmountable indebtedness and loss of freedoms they themselves take for granted. They will accept blame for none of the cataclysms their change-maker has set in motion, and yet the blame is all theirs. The result of their decisions in November 2008 will forever brand them as the most gullible, most misguided voters in American history. They, along with He Who Walketh On Water (not the Gulf’s waters, since doing something about the oily mess there requires executive capabilities he doesn’t possess, confirmed by his moratorium on future deep-water drilling in the Gulf, which alleviates the current problem not one iota), can’t stand prosperity, or said another way, can’t stand American Exceptionalism. Instead, they buy into what is pounded into young peoples’ heads by anti-American activists such as former University of Colorado Professor Ward Churchill — an ideology diametrically opposed to American Exceptionalism. As Abraham Lincoln once said, America is the world’s last, great hope. One main reason is that this country gains strength from and thrives on competitive capitalism, a system in which the non-productive fall by the wayside, deservedly, and the productive get wealthy, pay the most taxes, and, deservedly, derive the greatest benefit from tax reductions. “Not fair!” howl Obamabots. In their minds, America should be a Pantisocracy, where all are equal simply because they exist, even if they are lazy, lounging liabilities who take from, instead of contributing to, the nation’s and society’s wellbeing. These un-Exceptionalists are blind to the fact that the administration’s ongoing blundering either hurts Americans, harms the country’s world image, hinders its military, or hamstring’s its ability to compete globally and thereby remain the world’s last, great hope. My farming father said he’d never live in a city because “the thicker the people, the thicker the sin.” Had he been a political observer, he would have said also, “the bigger the government, the worse the people.” People of the worst sort now occupy all three branches of a government rapidly metastasizing into the largest, most corrupt tumor ever to fester on this continent. They must be replaced — not some of them, but all of them. The mess made by those elected in November 2008 must be cleaned up by those elected in November 2010.
