Did you REALLY think the British were going to blast you, Mrs Obama?

 Royal Navy Ordered to Turn Ship's Guns Around - Because They Were POINTING at Michelle Obama's Hotel Room

By Paul Bentley

A British Royal Navy ship was ordered to turn its guns around because they were parked pointing at a hotel room Michelle Obama was staying in. Fearing the First Lady might be in danger, minders ordered the captain of the HMS Edinburgh stationed in Cape Town, South Africa, to switch them away from her five-star suite.

The U.S. agents have since been accused of overreacting after it emerged the Sea Dart missiles were, in fact, loaded with blanks having been used during a ceremony in honour of a sailor who had died. Former Royal Navy officer Mike Critchley told the Daily Mirror: 'This is typical American Secret Service going over the top. 'I would have thought that they could trust their British allies to not put a missile through the bedroom window of the First Lady. It is unfortunate that this happened at an extremely sad time for the ship.'

Mrs Obama was on an official visit to South Africa in June and was staying in a luxury suite at the five star Table Bay Hotel. The boat, meanwhile, happened to be in the middle of a ceremonial routine to remember Lieutenant Sara Hellawell, a 26-year-old whose body was found onboard a few days before. That did not stop the agents raging at them, saying: 'You can’t point those guns at the First Lady.'

Describing the ceremony, a Navy spokesman said: 'This involved the drill missiles being on their launcher. American officials did visit the ship. They simply wanted to know if the missiles were live. When it was explained that they were drill rounds they went away content.'

A White House spokesman told the Mirror: 'We do not comment on ­security questions regarding the First Lady.'

Hi. Pond People! (Look at that baby cat!) I had a really good time today. I finally called on my medical and my HMO takes the Medicaid I've been shunted off to. I have the same doc and everything, so I'm happy! Also, I fancied up the sidebar with our very own pond, new titles, our King Cat, and.....things LOL!

Let's pray for our Surfie, Magdalene, Nu, Hikergal, my Phoo, and all our fellow Ponders. I sure wish Mrs. Cow would come on over more often! How's Jen? Prayers for her, too--and where's my Betty Jean, Paget, Gloria, Roxe, Dusty (TexasTeaLady), Gram and 7Gen TexMom? I miss you!

Somebody needs to invite Judith, Bettijo, Linder etc. over here.... that would make me happy ;-) Where did Roxe go? That makes me sad.... :-( Roxe, we miss you!

This makes me sick!

Some Things Never Change

By Rick Moran

Like showing disrespect and contempt for Americans in uniform. A female member of the Coast Guard was harrassed and spit upon as she walked by the Occupy Boston demonstration.

Fox news (MyFoxBoston.com)

The Coast Guard in Boston confirmed that a woman in uniform was harassed and spat upon near Occupy Boston protesters.The woman was walking to the train and said protesters spit on her twice, called her foul names and even threw a water bottle at her.

Now, the Coast Guard is warning all staff working on Atlantic Avenue to avoid those protesters while in uniform.Devon Pendleton, a spokesman for Occupy Boston, doesn't believe that those male protestors are actually part of the movement.

However, Pendleton wants to be clear, that if protestors are responsible for doing something so disrespectful, he'd like to apologize on behalf of Occupy Boston.

Coast Guard official Luke Clayton tells FOX25 whether or not the people who spit on the woman are part of Occupy Boston or not, what happened is against the law and he expects police to protect them against things like this in the future.

The spokesman for the demonstrators can apologize all he wants, it doesn't change the fact that from San Francisco, to Berkeley, to Chicago, to Boston, leftist protestors have made their utter disregard and contempt for those in uniform abundantly clear.

It has been that way since the Viet Nam war and they have done nothing in the intervening years to disabuse us of the notion that they haven't changed a bit.

Does This Explain Why So Many Hate Israel?

"Indeed it is difficult for all other nations of the world to live in the presence of the Jews. It is irritating and most uncomfortable. The Jews embarrass the world as they have done things which are beyond the imaginable. They have become moral strangers since the day their forefather, Abraham, introduced the world to high ethical standards and to the fear of Heaven.

They brought the world the Ten Commandments, which many nations prefer to defy.. They violated the rules of history by staying alive, totally at odds with common sense and historical evidence. They outlived all their former enemies, including vast empires such as the Romans and the Greeks. They angered the world with their return to their homeland after 2000 years of exile and after the murder of six million of their brothers and sisters.

They aggravated mankind by building, in the wink of an eye, a democratic State which others were not able to create in even hundreds of years. They built living monuments such as the duty to be holy and the privilege to serve one's fellow men.

They had their hands in every human progressive endeavor, whether in science, medicine, psychology or any other discipline, while totally out of proportion to their actual numbers. They gave the world the Bible and even their "savior."

Jews taught the world not to accept the world as it is, but to transform it, yet only a few nations wanted to listen. Moreover, the Jews introduced the world to one God, yet only a minority wanted to draw the moral consequences. So the nations of the world realize that they would have been lost without the Jews.. And while their subconscious tries to remind them of how much of Western civilization is framed in terms of concepts first articulated by the Jews, they do anything to suppress it.

They deny that Jews remind them of a higher purpose of life and the need to be honorable, and do anything to escape its consequences.. It is simply too much to handle for them, too embarrassing to admit, and above all, too difficult to live by.

So the nations of the world decided once again to go out of 'their' way in order to find a stick to hit the Jews. The goal: to prove that Jews are as immoral and guilty of massacre and genocide as some of they themselves are.

All this in order to hide and justify their own failure to even protest when six million Jews were brought to the slaughterhouses of Auschwitz and Dachau; so as to wipe out the moral conscience of which the Jews remind them, and they found a stick.

Nothing could be more gratifying for them than to find the Jews in a struggle with another people (who are completely terrorized by their own leaders) against whom the Jews, against their best wishes, have to defend themselves in order to survive. With great satisfaction, the world allows and initiates the rewriting of history so as to fuel the rage of yet another people against the Jews.

This in spite of the fact that the nations understand very well that peace between the parties could have come a long time ago, if only the Jews would have had a fair chance. Instead, they happily jumped on the wagon of hate so as to justify their jealousy of the Jews and their incompetence to deal with their own moral issues.

When Jews look at the bizarre play taking place in The Hague , they can only smile as this artificial game once more proves how the world paradoxically admits the Jews' uniqueness. It is in their need to undermine the Jews that they actually raise them.

The study of history of Europe during the past centuries teaches us one uniform lesson: That the nations which received and in any way dealt fairly and mercifully with the Jew have prospered; and that the nations that have tortured and oppressed them have written out their own curse."

--Olive Schreiner, South African novelist and social activist

Biden Warns of More Rapes and Murders If Jobs Bill Is Not Passed

By Daniel Halper

   

"In 2008, when Flint had 265 sworn officers on their police force, there were 35 murdnd 91 rapes in this city," Biden said. "In 2010, when Flint had only 144 police officers, the murder rate climbed to 65 and rapes--just to pick two categories--climbed to 229. In 2011, you now only have 125 shields. God only knows what the numbers will be this year for Flint if we don't rectify it."

The vice president also seemed to suggest that the Obama administration's first stimulus is the reason rapes and murders were not even higher in 2010 and 2011." And God only knows what that number would have been had we not been able to get a little bit of help," Biden said.

One of my favorite holidays!

The Festival of Sukkot begins on Tishri 15, the fifth day after Yom Kippur. It is quite a drastic transition, from one of the most solemn holidays in our year to one of the most joyous.

The word "Sukkot" means "booths," and refers to the temporary dwellings that we are commanded to live in during this holiday. The name of the holiday is frequently translated "The Feast of Tabernacles," which, like many translations of technical Jewish terms, isn't terribly useful unless you already know what the term is referring to. The Hebrew pronunciation of Sukkot is "Sue COAT," but is often pronounced as in Yiddish, to rhyme with "BOOK us."

Like Passover and Shavu'ot, Sukkot has a dual significance: historical and agricultural. The holiday commemorates the forty-year period during which the children of Israel were wandering in the desert, living in temporary shelters. Sukkot is also a harvest festival, and is sometimes referred to as Chag Ha-Asif, the Festival of Ingathering.

In honor of the holiday's historical significance, we are commanded to dwell in temporary shelters, as our ancestors did in the wilderness. The commandment to "dwell" in a sukkah can be fulfilled by simply eating all of one's meals there; however, if the weather, climate, and one's health permit, one should live in the sukkah as much as possible, including sleeping in it.

It is common practice, and highly commendable, to decorate the sukkah. In the northeastern United States, Jews commonly hang dried squash and corn in the sukkah to decorate it, because these vegetables are readily available at that time for the American holidays of Halloween and Thanksgiving. Building and decorating a sukkah is a fun, family project, much like decorating the Christmas tree is for Christians.

Many Americans, upon seeing a decorated sukkah for the first time, remark on how much the sukkah (and the holiday generally) reminds them of Thanksgiving. This is not entirely coincidental. Our American pilgrims, who originated the Thanksgiving holiday, were deeply religious people. When they were trying to find a way to express their thanks for their survival and for the harvest, they looked to the Bible for an appropriate way of celebrating and based their holiday in part on Sukkot.

The Occupiers' World Awaits

By David P. McGinley

My most heartfelt wish for the mindless minions currently "Occupy[ing] Wall Street" is that someday, hopefully soon, they get to live in a world based upon their dim-witted delusions. 

Actually, though, if these collectivist cretins are indeed serious, that world is already  here:

Entitlement babies still at recess.

Some Business Owners Ramp Up Distaste For ‘Occupy Wall Street’ Protesters

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — On Monday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said “Occupy Wall Street” protesters can stay and have their say as long as they’re law-abiding. In his strongest comments since protesters began occupying lower Manhattan four weeks ago, Mayor Bloomberg made it clear demonstrators can continue to occupy New York City indefinitely, as long as they don’t break the law.

But for some business owners, there’s nothing but outrage. They say the city’s stance on the protest means there is no end in sight to what has rapidly become a living nightmare, reports Brown. “They want to take showers, want to wash up and use the toilet paper to dry up. It becomes … you gotta have one person assigned just to clean the bathrooms,” said Steve Zamfotis, manager of “Charley’s” restaurant.

Zamfotis, who runs a pizza shop directly across the street from Zuccotti Park, said he has to stand guard at the door — just to keep protesters out. “They expect everything, everything for free, nothing to pay,” Zamfotis said.

Meanwhile, the protesters are starting to notice folks taking advantage of the demonstration by grabbing some of the free food and clothes that have been made available in Zuccotti Park. “The tourists take all the food, and the hipsters take all the clothes,” said one demonstrator.

But other businesses are opening their doors — in a show of solidarity. “Oh no problem. We let them use the bathroom because all the fancy places close the bathrooms for them. Yeah, we leave it open. It’s too much, but what are you gonna do? Everybody has right to use the bathrooms,” said Alfonso Alfi, manager of “Pronto Pizza.” The private firm that owns Zuccotti Park said it hasn’t been able to clean the park since Sept. 16 and sanitary conditions have become unacceptable.

In a statement the firm said it is working with the city to restore the park to its intended use, but on Monday — from the mayor to the NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly — city brass said they can’t — and won’t — force a stop to this anytime soon. “As long as people obey the law we’re not stepping in at all,” Kelly said.

Also Monday, a few celebrities stopped by Zuccotti Park to lend their support. The Rev. Al Sharpton was scheduled to broadcast his nationally syndicated radio show “Keepin’ It Real” from Zuccotti Park on Monday. Media mogul Russell Simmons and actress Susan Sarandon visited the park on Monday. Sarandon told 1010 WINS’ Stan Brooks, ”This is what democracy looks like … it’s great that anybody cares enough. I’m surprised people weren’t in the street a year ago. I think it’s fabulous.”

Also, a video on YouTube has surfaced showing Jimmy “The Rent Is Too Damn High” McMillan playing guitar and singing a song for the protesters.

In other protest news, a YouTube video, purportedly by the hacker collective known as “Anonymous,” threatened to wipe out the New York Stock Exchange website Monday. However, a message on a YouTube video suggests that the entirety of the the hacker collective does not support the attempt to disable the website. It says some factions of it are going to press forward with the effort.

A company that monitors website response times says The NYSE’s website was hobbled twice Monday, possibly the result of computer attacks. A San Mateo-based company called Keynote Systems Inc. said the NYSE website experienced a one-minute outage around 3:30 p.m. Eastern, then a half-hour outage about two hours later. NYSE spokesman Ray Pellecchia said an investigation by the stock exchange showed no disruptions to its website.

President Obey-Me Is Not Being Obeyed

By James Lewis

Rejection is no fun, especially if you're a heavenly rock star with a savior complex.  When people with narcissistic personalities come into psychotherapy, they often complain that nobody loves them -- and they can't understand it, because aren't they just the most lovable fluffy dolls in the world?

This is not Harry Truman.  It's not Herman Cain.  It's a guy who loves being worshiped, and he can't accept it when the crowds stop cheering. Narcissists are not nice.  They treat others as puppets on strings.  The rest of us get  drawn in by their superficial charm, and then, after a while, we figure out that we've been had.  As soon as we walk away, the result is a towering rage by the narcissist.  We all know people like that.

This is all routine psychiatric manual stuff.

If you can handle a little more, President Obama is an interesting mix of narcissism and "Oppositional Defiant Disorder."  No other president in history has actually given his fellow Americans the fickle finger of fate in public, to the cheers and applause of his own followers.  This is not  Thomas Jefferson or Abe Lincoln.  This is immature kid stuff.

So here we are.  Our moronic MedioCrats have gotten America stuck with a man who was never tested by adversity.  Unlike Herman Cain, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, and the other GOP candidates, he isn't used to scraping his knees on the playground and then just going "pick yourself up, dust yourself off, start all over again."

Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers sang "Pick yourself up" in the 1936 hit Swing Time (Jerome Kern and Dorothy Fielding).  That was in the depth of the Great Depression.  "Pick yourself up" is the song of ordinary Americans who tackle the hard jobs, which is why it was so popular.  It's still a great song.

America doesn't sing "Pick yourself up" anymore.  All we sing is "I'm a victim!  My parents don't love me!  I don't want to pick myself up, dust myself off, and start all over again!  Help me!  Give me free money!"  Tens of millions of kids have been raised by moms without dads, and they are mommified -- they expect fulsome flattery just to get out of bed in the morning.

If you doubt that, check out the photos of thousands of rich kids with Apple iPads sitting on Wall Street, trying to figure out what they're supposed to be protesting.  The "Days of Rage" are really the "days of narcissistic rage."  These kids are as phony and self-indulgent as the Obey-Me administration.  If you don't adore them for giving us the finger, there is something wrong with you.  And why aren't you paying for their health care for the rest of their lives?

According to Michael Goodwin in the New York Post:

I have heard basically the same story four times in the last 10 days, and the people doing the talking are in New York and Washington and are spread across the political spectrum.
The gist is this: President Obama has become a lone wolf, a stranger to his own government. He talks mostly, and sometimes only, to friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett and to David Axelrod, his political strategist.

Everybody else, including members of his Cabinet, have little face time with him except for brief meetings that serve as photo ops. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner both have complained ... that they are shut out of important decisions.

The president's workdays are said to end early, often at 4 p.m. He usually has dinner in the family residence with his wife and daughters, then retreats to a private office. One person said he takes a stack of briefing books. Others aren't sure what he does.

If the reports are accurate, and I believe they are, they paint a picture of an isolated man trapped in a collapsing presidency."

Before saying anything else, please do not forget who sold us this immature Napoleon Bonaparte.  It was the power clique of the left, the Democrats and the media, who are just different faces of the same beast.  Obama's rage and withdrawal into his private cult was predictable in 2008 and in 2004, when he rocketed to stardom with his Democratic Convention speech.  Narcissists are incredibly stuck and predictable -- unless they've been honed and polished by difficult life experiences, that is.  If the MedioCrats couldn't spot Obama as a grossly immature, utterly self-centered individual, it is because he reflected their own psychology.  It was a hall of mirrors.

We are therefore seeing not just Obama himself.  If you look at the over-the-top rage and self-regard of the radical left, they are all little Obamas.  Paul Krugman is just another Obama, ranting in his little corner of the NYT op-ed page.  George Soros has written (in his autobiography) about his own grandiosity. 

Hugo Chávez expressed outrage at the "horrible repression" of those thousands of kids camping out overnight on Wall Street, and El Jefe Hugo is just another Obama.  He is a generalissimo of the left, like Castro and Putin, Marx, Lenin and Stalin, the whole panoply of towering egos.  Malignant narcissism and self-glorification is the mass neurosis of the radical Left.

If you doubt that the "Rage" campers are like that, just listen to their rhetoric.  They are "progressives," which means they are way ahead of everybody else.  Progressive is a new name for "vanguard of the revolution," the preferred piece of self-flattery until the Soviet Union fell apart.

The left has seen a century of murderous failures by the radical left, and they still don't get the point.  They are stuck on stupid, as General Russell Honore said during Hurricane Katrina.  Mental fixedness is another marker of the extremist left.  Like Woody Allen in Sleeper, slipping on the same giant banana peel over and over again, they can't get out of their own mental traps.

This stuff is all part of the human condition, and it's been around since King Herod the Great and Oedipus Rex.  The trouble is when a truly immature narcissist, surrounded by his own tiny inner cult, gets elected to the highest office in the land.  Americans have never been dumb enough to do that, though they came close with Woodrow Wilson and FDR.

This time we, the American people, have really blown it. The result is dangerous.  It's not just the incompetence, fraud, and  mismanagement, though those are bad enough.  What we are facing today is genuine danger to our national security and welfare. That's the most troubling fact to see, but I'll bet that in major capitals around the world, it is beginning to hit home.  If we can see it, you can bet that others -- intelligence agencies and power-mongers around the world -- see the same things.

They will try to exploit our weak and fragile president as much as they can.

Is Barack a Petrified Political Fetus?

By Kelly O'Connell

Barack is in worse shape than a fetal pig in a jar, turned rubbery brown after years of immersion and sunlight. You see, he’s a PPF—a Petrified Political Fetus. He’s all done, but never begun. He decided to skip his chance to be a leader so he could roll out his “community organizer” schtick. Obama is both bored and frankly disgusted by the thought of leading America the Ugly. So he frankly decided he’d rather not, and call it a day. Permanently.

It would seem that Barack is ready to join a long list of frauds who achieved prominence after juking and jiving their way to success. One infamous role-model fraud will be examined—Count St. Germain. But it is terribly sad at a time of extreme crisis around the world, where so many lives hang in the balance, that a ridiculous poseur would take the place of a trained leader to aggrandize himself. This is the subject of this essay.

I. Petrification of Political Fetus Obama

How badly has Barack muffed his presidency? Well, let’s put it this way…if Barack were a plate juggler at a Chinese circus, there would be so much pottery on the floor the audience would have to assume it was a Greek wedding. Obama has screwed up every decision, when not assuming the posture of the previous administration. Of course, we can give him a pass on the killing of Osama bin Laden and still not murder our premise that Barack is no leader, whatsoever.

It has become a truism of even leftist political analysis that bamboozler Barack is waaaaay over his head as leader of the free world. In fact, he’d probably be at wits end running the camera department at the local Walgreens. But consider the following recent body slams our boy king has endured from the faithful.

Tina Brown, doyenne of leftist publishers, recently said...

But if he (Barack) doesn’t feel ready to run- Actually, I just hope he doesn’t, because in the end, you know, his tremendous misgivings, maybe he is right. I mean, We had this with Obama. He wasn’t ready, it turns out, really.

First Black American billionaire, Democrat Robert Johnson, founder of Black Entertainment Television (BET) recently criticized Barack’s Buffet Rules, saying,

I think the president has to recalibrate his message. You don’t get people to like you by attacking them or demeaning their success..By attacking me, Obama is not going to convince me that I should take a bigger tax hit because I happen to be wealthy.

Democrat Senator Webb criticized Barack’s plan to hike taxes: “I do not believe we should be increasing ordinary earned income taxes on any level.” But it may have been his recent decision to not offer a budget plan, then admit it—during the recent budget standoff—that cemented his reputation as the “Leading From Behind” politician. In fact, he couldn’t lead a group of chickens away from a fox’s den.

II. Barack’s Cargo Cult Presidency

Obama’s presidency resembles a Cargo Cult in that it is designed to look like wise policy and leadership, but underneath is a crazy, mindless replica which can only hope to fail. Cargo Cults are groups of primitive tribes who, after they were visited by modern man who flew in goods via planes, thought they could get the airmen to return by building primitive grass-planes as an act of worship.

Physicist Richard Feynman wrote about a type of thinking which is exactly the same as the basic premises of this belief. Sir James Frazier in his immortal Golden Bough wrote this type of thinking was characteristic of primitive man, calling it Sympathetic Magic.

Feynman wrote in his article Cargo Cult Science,

In the South Seas there is a cargo cult of people. During the war they saw airplanes land with lots of good materials, and they want the same thing to happen now. So they’ve arranged to imitate things like runways, to put fires along the sides of the runways, to make a wooden hut for a man to sit in, with two wooden pieces on his head like headphones and bars of bamboo sticking out like antennas‚Äîhe’s the controller—and they wait for the airplanes to land.

They’re doing everything right. The form is perfect. It looks exactly the way it looked before. But it doesn’t work. No airplanes land. So I call these things cargo cult science, because they follow all the apparent precepts and forms of scientific investigation, but they’re missing something essential, because the planes don’t land.

Feynman describes what is missing in this thinking:

But there is one feature I notice that is generally missing in cargo cult science…It’s a kind of scientific integrity, a principle of scientific thought that corresponds to a kind of utter honesty…

But the metaphor of Cargo Cults and their faux designs can also apply to politics. In fact, Randall Hoven describes this in Cargo Cult President. He writes of Barack,

He is the Cargo Cult President. At least the real Cargo Cult followers built real things that looked like landing strips to get airplanes loaded with food and supplies to land on them. Obama thinks you get factories to produce things and hospitals to fix people by making speeches—speeches that are reasonably good imitations of speeches given by real leaders.

Overall, consider how Obama leads a fake administration that cannot—either by talent, or evil design—do the most basic things to make America work. Therefore we are caught in a situation that increasingly looks like another Great Depression, directed by a man who apparently believes he can “Lead From Behind” while our country breaks down all around, in his wake.

And all Obama thinks he needs to do is put out faux policies, like “Stimulus” economics, or “Arab Spring” foreign policy, or “Tax the Rich” fiscal policy, etc. And all because Obama pretended to know the science of leadership,despite no experience, and leftist dupes across America bought his con act. But imagine if people had not propped up Obama his whole life and allowed him to move ahead even though he wasn’t qualified—what a different situation we’d be in right now!

III. Obama Role Model: Claude Louis, Comte de Saint-Germain

Eighteenth century Saint Germain, who claimed to be 300 years old, was one of the most famous frauds in history, vibrantly reminiscent of Obama. Writes biographer Isabel Cooper-Oakley,

The original ‘International Man of Mystery,’ the Count St. Germain, was an 18th century European aristocrat of unknown origin. He had no visible means of support, but no lack of resources, and moved in high social circles. He was a renowned conversationalist and a skilled musician. He dropped hints that he was centuries old and could grow diamonds. He never ate in public, was ambidextrous, and as far as anyone could tell, totally celibate.

Oakley mentions further claims made by Saint-Germain:

He always appeared about forty years old, popped up from time to time after his official death, made spot-on, unambiguous prophecies, could transmute matter, and spontaneously teleported to distant locations.

Saint Germain was supposed to be the greatest alchemist of his age and also wrote important works on the occult. He also loved to boast. Another biographer of the Count says when he overheard a topic he felt himself the unmitigated expert on, he could not restrain his contempt:

Said Gleichen of the first time he met Saint-Germain: “He threw down his hat and sword, sat down in an armchair near the fire and interrupted the conversation by saying to the man who was speaking: ‘You do not know what you are saying! I am the only person who is competent to speak on this subject, and I have exhausted it. It was the same with music, which I gave up when I found I had no more to learn.’”

While the Count’s claims seem silly stuff in a scientific age, are they really any more nonsensical than Obama stating that if he is elected, that the earth will begin to heal itself, the polar caps stop melting, and the seas lowered? Perhaps Barack is no more deluded than Saint-Germain when he allowed others to constantly describe him as the smartest man to ever occupy the White House, or as one who needed no practical experience in assembling a budget, running the world’s largest bureaucracy, or in conducting foreign affairs.

The Saint’s megalomania is reminiscent of Obama bragging about himself to a job interviewer looking for White House work:

I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I’ll tell you right now that I’m gonna think I’m a better political director than my political director.

In fact, if one were to put together Saint Germain, Paris Hilton, and Peer Gynt, then adding a touch of Martin Luther King’s wily, borrowed rhetoric, one might begin to understand the terrible peril America currently labors under.

IV. The Obama Follies Will End In Tears

One of the most remarkable acts of journalism in the wake of Barack’s election is found in an article by Scotsman Gerald Warner, titled “Barack Obama inauguration: this Emperor has no clothes, it will all end in tears.” On a day when another article ominously asks, “Is US Economy Flirting With ‘Modern-Day Depression’?”—a few excerpts are apropos here:

This will end in tears. The Obama hysteria is not merely embarrassing to witness, it is itself contributory to the scale of the disaster that is coming. What we are experiencing, in the deepening days of a global depression, is the desperate suspension of disbelief by people of intelligence—la trahison des clercs—in a pathetic effort to hypnotise themselves into the delusion that it will be all right on the night. It will not be all right.

It is frightening to think there is a real possibility the entire world economy could go into complete meltdown and famine kill millions. It is questionable whether the present political system can survive the coming crisis. Whatever the solution, teenage swooning sentimentality over a celebrity cult has no part in it. The most powerful nation on earth is confronting its worst economic crisis under the leadership of its most extremely liberal politician, who has virtually no experience of federal politics. That is not an opportunity but a catastrophe.

These are frank, even ungracious, words: they have the one merit that, unlike almost everything else written today about Obama, they will not require to be eaten in the future.

Conclusion

Doubtless Barack is over his head as president, in every measure of the concept. Whether he employs this as a plan to topple America from greatness—as some claim, or that he is simply an incompetent nincompoop, too selfish and irresponsible to care the damage he does—is now irrelevant. But it is important to understand that Barack never rose to the challenge of becoming a great leader—as many prophesied of him—or even a competent one. Instead, he simply crumpled to the ground, clutching his knees while morphing into a human fetal fossil, never having grown a metaphorical inch before quitting. Therefore, he really is a person who parachuted into his position—to use Pelosi’s metaphor—who has no natural ability to do anything required for leadership, save read a sandwich board.

Obama has clearly drunk deep of socialist and Marxist philosophy during his life which he admitted to Joe the Plumber and others that he really believes. If the goal of any self-respecting socialist is to foment revolution in any manner possible to bring about a Marxist state—Who are we to refuse to believe his sincerity when his actions seem to inevitably lead to socialist sabotage over any other possible theory?
