Barrel Strength

About a year or more ago I made a number of $50 bets that Obama would be a one term President.

The rising tide of revulsion towards the man and his performance is so manifest, and the economic policies the United States is pursuing are so catastrophic, that everyone else is starting to say the same thing.

Let us review the events which are driving Americans to a frenzy of rage:

• appealing the Arizona immigration  law whose effect is merely to enjoin the state officials to enforce existing federal law;
• bowing (more than a civil nod, but a deep from-the-waist bow) to Mulsim leadership, such as the King of Saudi Arabia, while being rude to traditional allies (removing Winston Churchill’s bust from the Oval Office and actually returning the bst to the British embassy);
• a policy of ruinous inflation;
• ignoring the Muslim aspect of terrorist attacks on US bases;
• hindering the  Armed Forces  by forbidding terms like “Islamic jihad” in their planning;
• continuing the policies whereby white Americans are prevented or dissuaded from competing for student placements or jobs, saying truths about other races, or competing for contracts from government (affirmative action);
• supporting the Ground Zero victory mosque;
• a divisive and possibly unnecessary health care reform.

You will be able to add your own issues to this list, and I invite you to do so.

The farrago of politically correct attitudes that let Obama rise to the top of the Democratic party, and which sustain the basis of his support, are beyond my capacity either to amend or to tolerate. But a mighty judgment is coming, and the political elites willl be eating shit pie for their deluded arrogance soon enough. That many Americans believe Obama to be a Muslim reflects merely the correct perception that we do not have a President who is on our side.

In case you need confirmation of what the problem is, I highly recommend Thomas Sowell’s excellent “Intellectuals and Society”. A regime of intellectuals has been put in power. A group of people without wisdom, practical experience, or courage has been selected to govern. The consequences are that government will be returned to adult supervision as soon as possible.
