It was a quick year ago this week that our sitting president was sworn in. Countless other bloggers have gone to various lengths to detail the failures or successes of Mr. Obama’s first year in office. I, however, would prefer to look back at Mr. Barack Hussein Obama’s inaugural speech to see if he gave us any clues or indications of what was to come. His bluntness, at points, might surprise you.
Mr. Obama, you said:
“greatness is never a given. It must be earned. Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for less.”
Why the closed door meetings, the exclusion of representatives of the Republican party? Why are you pushing this debacle of compromises, pork-barrel spending and — worst of all — financial and political BRIBES that you have the audacity to refer to as health care “reform” being pushed through with such passion and speed?
Every major issue he has attempted to spearhead has been one done under duress and, more often than naught, he’s insisted on immediacy of results over review and debate. His “bail out” spending bill was forced through, without debate. He has attempted to repeat that with health care, not to speak of his agenda in Copenhagen in early December. He made no bones about the fact that he wanted a treaty that he could sign.
The treaty in question would have stripped us of our sovereignty and ultimately lead to us becoming subjects of the United Nations (U.N.)
Any surprise that this is the same shamelessly declared end-game of Rockefeller and Soros?
It’s hard to believe all of this is not some form of political Trojan Horse.
Mr. Obama …
In your speech last year you went on to say:
“there are some who question the scale of our ambitions, who suggest that our system cannot tolerate too many big plans. Their memories are short … the cynics fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath them, that the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply.”
No, Mr. Obama, it is not “we” who have forgotten. We not only question the scale of your ambitions, we, The People, stand squarely against them because we now see the end to which your expansive ambitions lead.
Mr. Obama, you said:
“The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small …”
Actually, Mr. Obama, the question always HAS been, and should always be, whether or not our government is too big or too small.
You have the audacity to question the memory of those who question you? I dare say you, sir, are the one to have forgotten that one of the single most significant arguments since the very inception of this great nation has always been Limited versus Expansive government.
More to the point is James Madison. Take a moment to consider his argument before Congress in regards to an ever expansive (versus limited) government: 
“If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare, they may take the care of religion into their own hands …
“… they may appoint teachers in every State, county and parish and pay them out of their public treasury; they may take into their own hands the education of children, establishing in like manner schools throughout the Union …
“… assume the provision of the poor …
“… undertake the regulation of all roads …”
“If Congress can employ money indefinitely to the general welfare, and are the sole and supreme judges of the general welfare … every thing, from the highest object of state legislation down to the most minute object of police, would be thrown under the power of Congress … Were the power of Congress to be established in the latitude contended for, it would subvert the very foundations, and transmute the very nature of the limited Government established by the people of America.”
** above quote: James Madison, speaking before the House of Representatives on February 7, 1792
We defy you, Mr. Obama, to offer one single shred of evidence that it is not your party, the Democrats, who have achieved those very same ends.
Please understand, Mr. Obama, when you say something like:
“we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age. All this we can do. All this we will do.”
– Barack Hussein Obama
people like me have every cause to rise up and assert, “No you won’t!”
Mr. Obama, you proclaimed:
“those of us who manage the public’s dollars will be held to account, to spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our business in the light of day, because only then can we restore the vital trust between a people and their government.”
You, sir, have lied at every turn in regard to these promises. The vast majority of your meetings have been behind closed doors. You have not only refused to be held accountable for how you have spent America’s money but you have, at every turn, attempted to obfuscate and manipulate false data to tout your so-called reforms. You have squandered our wealth and the potential wealth of our children and are clearly hell bent on taxing future generations to a place where any sense of failure we’ve ever experienced as a nation will pale in comparison.
As if governmental control of our schools, our roads, the welfare system and our beliefs were not enough, you announced your beliefs about the free market. You said:
“Nor is the question before us whether the market is a force for good or ill. Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unmatched. But this crisis has reminded us that without a watchful eye, the market can spin out of control. The nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous. The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross domestic product, but on the reach of our prosperity, on the ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart — not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.”
Our free market system favors the bold. Yes, the old adage, “the rich become richer and the poor become poorer” is a simple fact of life. However, this free market society has, for all intents and purpose, reversed that to an extent. Our “poor” live in homes that enjoy electricity, heat, air conditioning, appliances and reliable sewage. They drive cars and spend untold hours per year wasting away in front of their government subsidized television sets.
The free market system does not favor the prosperous: it favors those with the drive and ingenuity to take risks and participate in an open, free market. It punishes the lazy, quite brutally at times. It does not favor the lazy, it does not abide the entitlement-minded. It never has and it never will.
The people from the political cloth from which you were clearly cut have plainly demonstrated that socialism and Marxist are, in the end, failed ideologies. Yes, such ideology feels VERY good to the heart, but, sadly, it is the very heart of man — which is, left to itself, greedy and corrupt — that will ensure that such a Utopia can never exist.
It is people like you, Senator’s Reid, Frank and Pelosi, who prove the point. In fact, it is not at all a surprise that those who pretend to promote the most socially conscious agenda are the ones who are, in reality, the most corrupt.
“ As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals.”
After reviewing this speech (admittedly, for the first time in details since it was uttered a mere year ago) I must ask, sir … are you diametrically opposed to our founding fathers, or are you truly so naive and ignorant?
One of the chief of the fathers of our founding documents, Benjamin Franklin, once said: “They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Mr. Obama, I now must also ask if you are secretly hell-bent on seeing to it that those of the ilk of Soros or the Rockefellers ultimately get their way as it regards our country and its wealth becoming subject to a larger governing body such as the U.N.?
Mr. president, you even made direct reference to these same founding fathers when you lied to us and said:
“our Founding Fathers, faced with perils that we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man — a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience sake.”
Yet virtually every move you made has been one of swift expedience, secrecy and without any regard to our liberties and autonomy, not to speak of the financial peril you are casting our children into.
And as regards to international realities …
“To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect.”
You, sir, are either a fool or a manipulative orator of unfathomable deceit.
The most devout leaders of Islam, when not promoting their cause to the west, are quick and clear in their message. Jihad is NOT some paranoid invention of some confused westerner. It is a reality and an end-game plan, plain and simple.
To believe that we can forge some sort of peaceful, lasting agreement with a religion that is bent on world domination, is every bit as absurd as believing that you can turn spent chunks of coal into diamonds if you hope and pray for it enough.
What need have we for such naivete in the midst of such intense financial and global turmoil?
Mr. President, you began your speech with the following words:
“Yet, every so often, the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because we, the people, have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebears and true to our founding documents.
“So it has been; so it must be with this generation of Americans.”
I strongly suggest you stand true to those words before you find yourself removed from that most honored of offices in shame.
* * *
In closing, I would like to direct you to your very own words (which, I assume, were written by somebody else):
“To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history …”
– Barack Hussein Obama’s Inaugural Speech, January 20th, 2009.
I was, quite frankly, taken seriously aback when I read those words. Almost every step you’ve taken the past year has been one of dominance and power. You have supported and propped-up some of the most corrupt politicians in history. You promoted a woman like Hillary Clinton and continue to support the likes of Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi.
You have met in private to swindle people with political and financial bribes, and when questioned about the bribes, it was YOUR part who responded with comments such as, “that’s how business is conducted inside the beltway.”
Sir, I would expect such a response from a mafia enforcer.
* * *
Mr. Obama — and the minority-in-control both within the beltway as well as in Hollywood — surely know that a political storm is coming. It is up to the rest of us to see to it that our children, as well as any friends or relatives who will listen, be more fully enlightened as to not only what is happening but what is at stake.
We MUST vote out those who have made a career of politics. We must, even more importantly, invest the time to find out what those who are running for office actually DO stand for.
We MUST find men and women dedicated to the sanctity of our Constitution who will rise to the occasion, assume the offices of those who have lead us astray, and undo the damage that has been done.
