I find it ironic that a Lord from Britain is warning us about our president and praising us about our country. Against this phony, diminished cognitive narrative, they intentionally went out and voted for a radical, narcissistic, unqualified, manipulative racist who is now doing just what you would expect a person with such a resume like that would do. But probably more than anything else, liberals wanted global appeasement.
Trying to say that voters fell for a bait and switch operation or excusing voters for being naive or hopeful is a way of excusing ignorance and bad judgement. This was a priority for voters who were clearly elevating BO to the level of a Messiah. Liberals defend heaping adulation and wealth onto marginal people who would never invite them to sit down at the table. Here, liberals tenaciously buy into reward systems to serve undeserving people, regardless of the consequences. Learning about BO before voting for him was not a necessary criteria that voters needed to put him into office. Antithetical is a matter of degree of intent that varies with how much a voter projected onto BO vs testing reality. The other way that the vote for BO was willful was ultimate: which takes the form of the metaphysical freedom to choose a leader as we have defined the rules of the democratic process. Obama and the Reds are gambling that the great majority of people that voted for this knucklehead didn't vote for him because they thought he was antithetical to the principles of the U.S.
I know people, and I'm sure you too must know people, that are so confused on the issues as to really believe that George Bush was a tyrannical hitler wanna-be trampling on the Constitution and that Obama as President would bring sanity and Constitutional government back and thus save the country from tyranny. They thought just the opposite. The great majority of people that voted for this knucklehead didn't vote for him because they thought he was antithetical to the principles of the U.S. After decades of states' violation of the second amendment and PC suppression of free-speech, along with the more recent eminent domain free-for-all ruling, then given the BO administration and their sneering disregard for a lawful society, I wouldn't count on the Constitution to make a difference. IOpian at October 16, 2009 11:09 AM Particulars about the Constitution is sounding more and more like a one-way discussion among citizens in the absence of government.
Still, no country in history seems to have willfully put into place a leader so antithetical to its principles as the U.S. But this seems to be unprecedented in history; the decline of the Roman Empire was gradual, although a loss of civic virtue and handing over administration to professional thieves, as did the Romans, seems to have a likely parallel in BO and his administration. Other than the well-established principle that liberals cannot build and thus are compelled to destroy.
