I always considered Barack Obama an empty suit a coffeehouse communist doomed to replay the tragic political and economic mistakes of the past because he lacked any sense of history beyond the clichs of fashionable and comfortable college Marxism.
Like the characters and events in his autobiography Dreams from My Father written by unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers Obama is a composite the manifestation of a liberal fantasy a man who like his acolytes exists in a political Twilight Zone somewhere between reality and narcissism.
Obamas political talent is based on his mastery of the platitude; a banal or meaningless statement generally directed at soothing the social emotional or cognitive unease of uninformed easily misled voters or desperate liberals in search of a Messiah.
His ascension to the Presidency can largely be attributed to a combination of corruption and cowardice.
Since 2008 pressured by a biased left-leaning media a spineless Republican Party leadership joined the Democrats in refusing to vet Obama in violation of the Constitution and common sense. Out of fear or complicity a conspiracy of silence has descended upon the public discourse regarding all questions related to Obamas background and fitness for office. Despite the enormous historical and Constitutional implications the politicians and the media not only have remained silent but have actively suppressed legitimate inquiry.
When the truth is eventually told the chronicles of the Obama years will represent the most sordid in American history.
Having been granted immunity from any uncomfortable questions about his personal history Obama has established lying as an instrument of government policy e.g. Fast and Furious Benghazi IRS NSA and Obamacare. He has also attempted to render Congress powerless by unlawfully assuming executive authority not granted under the Constitution in order to continue unobstructed his fundamental transformation of the United States.
Left unimpeded the inevitable result of Obamas policies will be a dystopia characterized by a cataclysmic decline of society in which a totalitarian government enforces ruthless egalitarianism by suppressing or denouncing ability and accomplishment or even competence as forms of inequality. Obama aims to create dependency on the state and will continue efforts to prevent the family from reestablishing itself as Americas primary social institution.
Like Nineteen Eighty-Four Obamas dystopia will be a world of perpetual crisis omnipresent government surveillance misinformation and manipulation by state-controlled media; all governed by a privileged and oppressive political elite led by a quasi-divine party leader who enjoys an intense cult of personality and considers personal liberty as a source of unhappiness.
In his article Why Americans Are Not Taught History Christopher Hitchens identified the vulnerability of Americas present-tense culture to the utopian myth.
That is for the truly blissed-out and vacant servitude required by the Obama strategy you need an otherwise sophisticated society to lose any sense of its own history and traditions. Using media deception and historical revisionism the low-information voter will slouch towards Obamas utopia by a combination of governmental coercion as in George Orwells Nineteen Eighty-Four and the hedonist nihilism of a painless amusement-sodden and stress-free consensus managed by the nanny-state found in Aldous Huxleys Brave New World.
In the book Amusing Ourselves to Death Neil Postman notes that in Nineteen Eighty-Four people are controlled by inflicting pain; in Brave New World they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture. Obama plans to do both.
Ultimately when the government is ruled by individuals unconstrained by law there are few things that power cannot do. It can make political allies rich or paupers of political enemies. It can waste billions of dollars without accountability and destroy an economy without responsibility. It can make incompetent men high officials or make extraordinary men corpses.
The accumulation of excessive power in the federal government transforms it into a dysfunctional super-state dedicated to maintaining its own power irrespective of truth or the well-being of the country. The bureaucrats can ignore both morality and the lessons of history in order to protect their appetite for and the use of raw power. Under such circumstances the government need not fear that any of its agencies will intervene on behalf of the people nor will it hear any protests from their elected representatives nor anything but polite questions from the national media.
We now have a government and media of perfidious men and women who are willing to risk the survival of the country rather than risk the truth.
There is a Cold Civil War underway in the United States to determine who should control the federal government. It is not a contest between the Democrat and Republican ideologies but a battle between the entrenched power of the bipartisan political establishment versus the rights and liberties of the American people.
Representative and responsible government will not return to America simply by removing Obama. It will only be restored when Americans feel empowered by their political institutions not misled or oppressed by them.
Rather than serve the country many in the federal government have succumbed to political expediency and avarice thereby perpetuating an atmosphere of permanent corruption in Washington D.C.
Clearly those who are a fundamental part of the problem can no longer be considered as potential participants in a solution.
Ordinary Americans must now take a stand against the political-media elite to restore the Constitution and the rule of law to establish political and fiscal sanity and to return the government to the people.
