Obama’s Contempt for America!
The Obama Regime’s “Stalinist” Approach to Governing
A Commentary by J. D.
Longstreet
I still get chills up my spine
when I hear stories of the way Obama’s henchmen are going about governing this
nation. Why? It frightens me because I
have seen it before. Actually I have
seen it thrice before. I saw it
in Germany and Italy,
in the 1930’s and 1940’s, and in Russia
from the Bolshevik Revolution in the early 1900’s until the collapse of the Soviet
Union.
Just the other day Thomas Sowell,
a senior
fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, asked this question: “Just one year ago, would you
have believed that an unelected government official, not even a Cabinet member
confirmed by the Senate but simply one of the many "czars" appointed
by the president, could arbitrarily cut the pay of executives in private
businesses by 50 percent or 90 percent?
Did you think that another
"czar" would be talking about restricting talk radio? That there
would be plans afloat to subsidize newspapers — that is, to create a situation
where some newspapers' survival would depend on the government liking what they
publish?
Did you imagine that anyone would even be
talking about having a panel of so-called "experts" deciding who
could and could not get life-saving medical treatments?
Scary as that is from a medical standpoint,
it is also chilling from the standpoint of freedom. If you have a mother who
needs a heart operation or a child with some dire medical condition, how free
would you feel to speak out against an administration that has the power to
make life and death decisions about your loved ones?
Does any of this sound like America?”

THAT’S where we are in Obama’s America today. It resembles more and more, every day,
Stalin’s Russia -- and I don’t like
it at all.
I know it does no good to repeat the mantra “we told you so”, over and over
again, but, we DID tell you this would happen and we were called racists
and red necks, and idiots, and morons, and just about every negative epithet one can think of. And yet -- time has proven us correct.
In the Thomas Sowell article, at Deseret News, Mr. Sowell goes
on. He says: “President Barack Obama has already floated the idea of a
national police force, something we have done without for more than two
centuries.
We already have local police forces all
across the country and military forces for national defense, as well as the FBI
for federal crimes and the National Guard for local emergencies. What would be
the role of a national police force created by Obama, with all its leaders
appointed by him?”
That is an extremely important question.
Ever hear of the Gestapo?
“The Gestapo was the official secret
police of Nazi Germany.
The Gestapo had the authority to
investigate treason, espionage and
sabotage cases and cases of criminal attacks on the Nazi Party and
Germany. The basic Gestapo law passed by
the government in 1936 gave the Gestapo carte blanche to operate without
judicial oversight. The Gestapo was
specifically exempted from responsibility to administrative courts, where
citizens normally could sue the state to conform to laws. The Gestapo also had
the responsibility for setting up and
administering concentration camps.” (Read the entire article HERE. )
It is a sad commentary on the
Presidency to have to admit that Obama, the President of the United
States, harbors great contempt for this
country. “We
have to understand that Obama looks at this country as an obstacle, … and as a
country that was immoral and unjust before he was elected.” (SOURCE).
In
an article, by AWR Hawkins, at Pajamas Media, we find this: “This belief in the “terrible things” America has done led to Obama’s international apology tour and his
quasi-sycophantic Muslim outreach earlier this year. Both these things were
direct outgrowths of Obama’s contempt for this country… …” SOURCE.
You see – we are getting a picture
here of a man who, apparently, believes that, somehow, America has done some
really bad things, committed some heinous evils on the peoples of the earth,
uh, before HE became President, of course, and he is bound to see that
America is never able to commit those evils again.
Does this explain why Obama seems
to cozy up to tyrants? Is it true that
Obama actually LIKES tyrants and dislikes America? (Hugo Chavez, Manuel Zelaya, and yes,
Castro, all come to mind.) Is that
evidence enough that the common man, and America,
come in second to these tin horn dictators in Obama’s mind?
Look, when American business
becomes more concerned with pleasing the government than pleasing their
customers, and consumers, and stockholders, then we, as a capitalist country,
are in deep, deep, trouble. And THAT,
dear reader is where we find ourselves today!
The path America
will take over the next few months and years is as predictable as tomorrow’s
sunrise. How can I say that? Because,
dear reader, this ain’t my first rodeo!
I have been around the block a few times and I have seen it all too many
times before. To those of us for whom history did not begin the day we were
born, this is all too familiar.
We Americans need, from time to
time, to go back and read our founding documents. For instance, the famous preamble to the
Declaration of Independence includes the ideas and ideals that were principles of the Declaration. It is also
an assertion of what is known as the "right of revolution” that is, people
have certain rights, and when a government violates these rights, the people
have the right to "alter or abolish" that government. Read the words below from the Declaration of
Independence:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,
that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit
of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among
Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,. That
whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the
Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,
laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such
form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be
changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath
shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable,
than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same
Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw
off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
We Americans have a right, and we have a duty, to rein in an
out of control government. We must never allow a federal government to become
so powerful that the people are compelled to serve it rather than it, the
government, serving the people who created it. Americans seem to have forgotten
the federal government was created by the states as an agent of the states, not
the other way around. As a result, America is in deep trouble today.
America is STILL worth saving and we, as Americans, must
make every effort to rescue her and set her aright. We owe it to the men and
women who have made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our freedom and we owe it
to the generations not yet born to preserve this wonderful nation for them and
their posterity.
