You can blame this angry rant on Rush Limbaugh's radio show monologue, ironically, or perhaps prophetically on Martin Luther King Day, but all Rush did was push my button. The anger was already there and has already been building up steam, just waiting for a catalyst of release.
I am nauseated beyond description at the soppy, loopy, pansy, redundantly invoked and conspicuously contrived talking point that we must all support Obama and hope he succeeds. In mass this weekend, our pastor also passed off this same empty-headed, knee-jerk politically correct fluff to us. Then along came Rush, and he pushed my button on Monday by saying what I, up until now, have only been thinking.
I don't recall any former pastors asking us to pray for or support any other past presidents, causing me to wonder if this is a black thing, a liberal thing, or a bit of both.
I don't recall so-called conservatives like Peggy Noonan trying to swoon, if not placate any other liberal politician or his base, nor do I recall any event such as a lot of them like David Brooks, Bill Kristol, or Charles Krauthammer meeting for dinner at George Will's Maryland home, as radio talk show host Mark Levin and a January 13th online report of Newsmax.com recently observed, to exchange pleasantries, break bread and make nice-nice with any other former Marxist (my descriptive words) like Obama. Such lunacy is the quintessential trademark of the repeatedly enacted and needless suicidal demise of Republicans, and I might add, pseudo-conservatives and traitors to the cause, who erroneously call themselves Republicans, such as the all too common ilk of the northeast and west coast, by obsessing more about popularity than victory (Think John McCain!). David Horowitz has sagely written of this collective wart, and Rush Limbaugh has preached about it, but too few have heeded their advice. At the 1975 CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference), Ronald Reagan gave a rousing speech about factious Republicans and how they handle issues, flatly comparing "pale pastels" to "bold colors," and no, he wasn't talking about race. The personified illustration of this hypocrisy, the Achilles heel of conservatism, is yet again coming home to roost, courtesy of both the weak-willed and covertly conspiring enemies within. I never recall any liberals lining up to purr and rub up against the leg of any incoming Republican President. For those in the GOP still scratching the very heads that were handed to them in the 2006 and 2008 elections, take note... for once! But first you people need to wake up. Did Obama ride into victory with all this hoopla on a "moderate" or "centrist" platform?
My pastor (and others) has called us to pray for Obama. No, I will not. To the extent I will pray for this Marxist, America-hating proponent of literal infanticide who was groomed in the notoriously corrupt Cook County political machine by rubbing elbows with hacks, felons and even domestic terrorists, I will only pray that he drastically changes his heart and mind, or that his entire agenda be successfully thwarted, and given the Democrat stronghold on our Congress, and our lemming electorate's sheer ignorance of the Constitution and its insatiable desire for socialist government perks for all their whims, that will take nothing short of a miracle.
No, I will not support this new president. As the liberals said of George W. Bush, "He is not my president." I didn't support this baby-killing, anti-American, arrogant, grossly unqualified Marxist schmuck who ridiculed Americans who "bitterly cling to their Bibles and guns," and now falsely promises to stand for all Americans. This is the same guy who is supposed to heal our racial divide, yet repeatedly exploited it by accusing those of us who oppose him as doing so because he looks different than previous presidents. Of course, that is not true. We also elected Lyndon Johnson, and his huge, Dumbo-sized ears looks just as hideous as Obama's ears. This lying bastard doesn't stand for me, and I do not and will not stand for him. Hamas may love him, but I do not. To these do-gooders calling for our mutual support and hope for his success, where were they when much of the then ballyhooed Hollywood elite threatened to move out of the country when George W. Bush was elected? (By the way, none of them, to my knowledge, ever made good on that threat, unfortunately. I would have gladly paid for their one-way airfare!)
And what of this empty and intentionally ambiguous drivel of wanting Obama to "succeed"? "Succeed" by what definition, and espoused by whom? Like bread, one man's "success" is another man's poison.
The fact that this loathsome cretin thwarted legislation in the Illinois State Senate that refused medical care to infants who survived abortions, and that as part of his ironically dubbed and insidious "Freedom of Choice Act" (FOCA), he is now promising to further radicalize abortion, but this time on the federal level, should be enough reason for anyone of sound mind and decent heart to have voted against him. In one recent political argument I had with a liberal family member, I was advised to give Obama a chance. No, I will not. That is utter nonsense. You don't give chances to people on the hope that they might change their minds, any more than you marry them to hope that they will change their traits. In the case of Mitt Romney on abortion, prudence also dictates that you also don't give a chance to anyone who has conveniently had an alleged epiphany, coincidentally just around the time they are seeking election to higher office. To the drooling, ignorant and selfish lemmings who bought into Obama's "hope and change" rhetoric, it would behoove them to put down the sports page and shut off "American Idol" long enough to read Michael E. Telzrow's insightful article, "Socialism's Broken Promises" in the January 5th issue of The New American. Magazine. Where we are clearly heading is the very antithesis of "hope and change."
Hope and change also seems more like hopelessness and more of the same, as Obama has resurrected the Clinton hacks for his own regime. Gee, now where are all those naysayers who said Dubya resurrected all of "Daddy's" pals for his administration? We are already getting the usual lies, spin and excuses as to why someone with little to no intelligence background will be running the CIA or why a tax scofflaw will soon be running the IRS, or why a former high ranking Justice Department official who helped pardon a fugitive felon will now not only be returned to The DOJ, but even given its top job. If "hope and change" is code, it's translation is "same ol, same ol'."
To those patting our nation on the back for having elected our first black (if even only a partial one) to the Oval Office, we have not put racism behind us, otherwise we wouldn't be so impressed and incessantly mentioning the first black this or first black that. Besides, what has this guy done or achieved to even be President? He has never had executive experience of any kind. He was a state legislator for a couple or so terms, a US Senator for four years, and spent two of those years campaigning. The only major legislation we know of that is credited to him is killing live babies. Rah, rah. But Sarah Palin, who not only led a city and (still) a state as chief executive, and successfully so in both cases (by "my" definition), was chastised as having no experience to be our nation's Chief Executive.
Race is still the be-all, end-all in this country. I saw many black women cheer for O.J. Simpson for getting away with the ultimate and particularly grisly case of spousal abuse. And now, Obama is victorious over both the supposedly unsinkable Hillary Clinton, who also has no executive experience, and Sarah Palin, who did, but was one of those no good Republicans, and a conservative, gun-toting, Alaskan moose-eating, pro-life Christian conservative, to boot! Besides race, it's ultimately also all about liberalism, or else Alan Keyes would have been elected President years ago, and Justice Clarence Thomas would not be considered an Uncle Tom today, while the late and retired Justice Thurgood Marshall, who could not put two articulate sentences together with a tow truck and a winch, is still considered an alleged pillar to black success, and again, by someone else's definition.
My anger, disgust, and contempt are not just about disagreement on issues, nor is it about race. If I disagreed with anyone else about just issues, I would leave it at that. As far as race, I personally couldn't care less if my President is young old, male, female, black, white, purple or green. This guy is lowlife vermin, period. He's a baby-killer with Marxist sympathies, who sat in the church of, and heavily donated to a racist, America-bashing pastor. He worked with domestic terrorists, ridiculed those who wore flag pins, refused to show honor to our flag, and surrounds himself with Marxist supporters, violent domestic terrorists, convicted felons and other America-haters. He will endanger us by further nationalizing our capitalism, and shrinking our defense and intelligence resources, while drastically increasing our debt, an act in itself that is dangerous to our national security in this tumultuous era and unstable world.
Like his equally clueless opponent from the presidential race, he has yet to articulate any semblance of a real plan to end our national fiscal woes other than spending more worthless money and sinking us deeper into debt. He has already publicly espoused the naiveté of wishing to negotiate with bloodthirsty terrorists with whom he has no bargaining chits, and he has already promised to reopen the exchange of scientists and nuclear technology with communist China, a lesson apparently already forgotten since the perilous Clinton days of foreign policy corruption, apathy and naivete. When Georgia was invaded by Russia, he changed his mind three times in a short period of time as to what the US should have done. The void left by his gross and vast inexperience as a leader is filled with the potentially catastrophic folly and myopic vision of a boy in a man's body. To hand our country over to this man is akin to what P.J. O'Rourke says is giving our money to our government: it's like giving a bottle of whiskey and a set of car keys to teenage boys. Say what you will of George W. Bush, and I have been critical of many of his policies and decisions too, but if nothing else, after September 11th, he willfully and successfully (by any definition) kept us safe from further attack. That fact is indisputable.
Obama, the reputed "Messiah," is the epitome of arrogance and narcissism, from his ostentatious Greek columns at the DNC Convention, to his now estimated $150-$170 million grandiose and historically record-breaking inaugural and ball during a time when many Americans (including those who voted for him) don't know where their next meal will come from, or how much longer they can keep the heat and the lights on while also praying that they don't get sick and need to see a doctor. During Connecticut's lean times, even its former Governor, convicted felon, John Rowland (Who, unlike Obama's pal, Blagojevich, at least knew enough to skedattle before being impeached) significantly cut costs at one election year's inaugural ball by making it a casual afternoon event with just "coffee and."
No, I will not support this President. I do not wish his success. And no, I won't even pray for him, at least not in the way many others wish and are calling for. Much of, if not most of this country may have now converted to socialism and the culture of death, but I, a Christian American, who still cherishes life and liberty as much as the Bible and the United States Constitution, have not, and will not. This conservative is not George Will, Peggy Noonan, et al. I don't give a damn about being liked or being popular. I don't take a poll before formulating my opinions. I will content myself with simply being right, and clearly and unabashedly staying to the right, while continuously persevering and struggling to remain free against the growing, trendy and increasing gale-force winds now blowing against me from both foe and fair weather friend alike.
How well the rest of you sleep at night, in the words of this bumbling, stuttering, inarticulate rocket scientist you have elected as President recently said without the benefit of a pre-scripted speech or a teleprompter in front of him, "for the next 8-10 years," is your problem.
In other words, "Good night, America."
