This dark reality that confronts us is prefigured in our Declaration of Independence which alludes to the causes of the first American Revolution when it notes, in passing, “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design.”
We are so far past and beyond the “long train of abuses and usurpations” that the Colonists and Founders experienced and which necessitated the Revolutionary War that they aren’t even visible in the rear-view mirror.

  • I iz also makin a list. U on it pal.
Not all "conservatives" are willing to give The O the benefit of the doubt of incompetence, but too many high profile ones have, and are.  It's the "well intentioned, but misguided" road of denial typical of the well-bred White-bred of the inculcated right-liberal.

I have come to the same conclusion as VanDerLeun - it's malice aforethought - and go him one further:  evil.

I hate hearing him only slightly less than I hate seeing him, as he embodies and personifies all that is alien and hostile to everything that I am American.  It's ambiance glints from his eyes and speaks its lies in his sybilant esses and vague negro accent in the "eh" ending where there should be a "y" from between brilliantly white, perfectly aligned teeth, while doing the subtle, loose-necked shuck'n'jive, all marked by a desire to punish, inflict suffering, destroy.

Evil, that was my exact thought.
Evil has its own intelligence, it may be perceived as incompetent,  misunderstanding, brilliant complexity beyond common comprehension.  That is because evil has its own rubric and it is alien to us. Time and again you will see commentators ascribe normalcy to this administration's actions when explaining them all the while your brain is telling you no, no, even though you cannot discern the flaw.  The flaw/disconnect is simple; it is good versus evil. Deal with it from that perspective and it does become 'normal'.

Well said, Charles.

I have regarded Obama as evil from day one.  Gerard put it into words much better than I ever could.

I've been saying since before the '08 election that it appears to me that Obama believes his life's mission to be the destruction of American power, prosperity, credibility, and influence.

Watching the establishment GOP failing to see what is now before our eyes in the form of an existential threat to the republic, and choosing to give this malevolent megalomaniac the benefit of the doubt, is an endless source of frustration for me.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

I've often wondered over the last two years if Stymie really believed in the horsesh*t he's been feeding us and the crazy stuff he's done . Maybe he's just goofed-up and doesn't know any better . No . He knows exactly what he's doing and he DOES believe in his horsesh*t !

We can't allow this to continue .

From where does malice flow?  The cold dark heart of evil, that is where!  I and many here have (correctly I think) labeled this man as evil.

I am long past fed up.

The most powerful and most gloriously articulated section of our Founding document -

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.  Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

Long Live The Revolution!



We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.

"... his level of cleverness and his innate shrewdness..."


In The Roots of Obama's Rage the author points out how O's bio father excelled at enthralling his listeners and that BO sought to emullate that.  I'd always suspected the guy was a phony.  Everything he does is calculated. He doesn't give a flip if people think he's incompetent.  He has one agenda and that's his. He created this personna, honed over the years, for one purpose only. 

My BS-detector went off when he gave the address at the DEM convention.

Me too. All the fawning over the new clean articulate Democrat superstar negro messiah sent my charlatan alarms into overdrive.

I couldn't force myself to watch it...

There was plenty to make me sick leading up to it anyway...

The 2004 or 2008 convention?  The first time I ever heard of him is when he spoke at the 2004 convention.  It sounded OK to me at the time; I didn't think too much about it.

I didn't watch the 2008 speech with the styrofoam columns.  I had seen and heard enough by that time.

'04

That Illinois MSM went bonkers over it only confirmed my suspicion.

I wouldn't have watched '08 under pain of death.  ::puke::
