Is
Obama Intentionally Seeking to Destroy
America?
By Dr. Charles
Ormsby
I am not prone to conspiracy
theories.
I think Oswald assassinated President
Kennedy without the active participation
of Castro, the Soviet Union, Lyndon
Johnson, the John Birch Society, the FBI,
the CIA or the mob.
I dont think President Bush aided
or abetted the destruction of the World
Trade Center on 9/11. Nor do I think that
he or Karl Rove or some neo-conservative
cabal plotted to lie about weapons of
mass destruction before gaining Security
Council approval for the invasion of
Iraq.
Ive even convinced myself that Jane
Fonda was just a useful idiot when she
went to Hanoi and cheered on the North
Vietnamese gunners as they sought to
shoot down and kill American pilots.
One of my mentors during my R&D
career once told me to never
underestimate the likelihood that idiocy
was an adequate explanation for what
might initially appear to be
intentionally evil acts. More often than
not, idiocy (or just plain ignorance)
did, in fact, turn out to be the likely
cause.
I have tried mightily to follow this
advice over the last several decades
while witnessing the actions and
positions taken by so-called progressives
(hereafter statists, since
progress is the last thing they will ever
accomplish).
I am proud to say that until recently I
have succeeded. Despite their constant
stream of absurd policy positions, I have
steadfastly held my ground and just
declared them idiots (when appropriate,
adding the adjective useful
before the noun).
This has not been easy, but I have
trained myself when I hear their latest
proposals to grit my teeth while
muttering: Idiots!
But lately, my resolve is eroding.
This article is a desperate plea for
help. I feel Im slipping. In fact,
I feel Im accelerating towards a
terrible, inevitable, inescapable
conclusion.
Are all statists intentionally seeking to
destroy America?
Although every statist occupies some
particular location on a continuum of
possible positions on the road to hell,
most are not consciously seeking the
demise of America. Some, infested with
ignorance and a touch of idiocy but not
that much evil, are just a short way down
that road. Others having varying degrees
of ignorance and idiocy, but infected
with more evil intent, are further down
the road. Finally, there are those that,
despite varying levels of ignorance and
idiocy, are dominated by evil intent.
That people whose motives are dominated
by evil intent actually exist is not in
doubt (the Nazis, Communists and the
Jihadist Muslims provide adequate proof,
as do the narco-terrorists). The question
is: are people who seek to destroy
American ideals in current positions of
power in the U.S. Government? And, to the
specific question raised in the title of
this article, is President Obama or are
his key advisors among them?
I have tried heroically to deny this
possibility since Obama first began his
run for the presidency and have fought to
sustain this denial up until recent days.
My resistance is collapsing, but at this
instant Im still hanging on by my
fingernails. I need the wisdom and
level-headedness of my faithful readers
to guide me in this struggle.
A decent respect to the opinions of
mankind requires that I declare the
causes which impel me to conclude that
our Commander in Chief and his key
lieutenants may be purposefully
undermining Americas philosophic
foundation and that their actions are
designed to destroy the America that our
Founding Founders envisioned.
I claim the following truths to be
self-evident. Not all weigh equally in
the indictment, but unless we remove the
perpetrators from office, certain
unalienable rights, among these being
life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, will not be secure. [The text
in italics is paraphrased from
well, as patriots, you already know.]
Here are the self-evident truths:
* Prior to running for president, our
president and first lady routinely
attended religious services with their
impressionable young children where
vitriolic, un-American rhetoric was
common fare. Ask yourself: How many
times would you have to hear God
damn America from your preacher
before deciding to never attend again?
What would your core beliefs have to be,
to continue attending and bringing your
children?
* Our country is starved for affordable
energy. High energy prices are choking
our economy and sapping our strength.
Despite this, Obama does everything in
his power to stop America from tapping
our domestic energy supplies. He uses
every regulatory power to stop drilling
for oil and natural gas, denies permits
for construction of nuclear power plants,
and discourages the use of coal, oil
shale and tar sands (where our reserves
dwarf those of Saudi Arabia). This cannot
be explained away based on environmental
concerns (even misguided ones), because
Obama applauds and promises to
financially support Brazilian deep-water
oil drilling.
* While thwarting real energy solutions,
Obama pours our national treasure into
green energy solutions such
as wind and solar that cant
possibly fill more than a few percent of
our needs at much greater cost.
* Failing to get congressional support
for cap and trade legislation, Obama
seeks to end-run Congress and have the
EPA impose carbon emission regulations
that will effectively nationalize the
American energy industry and further
hamstring our economy.
* Seeing the decline of unions in the
dwindling private sector, Obama supports
a card-check system that denies American
workers the right to vote via secret
ballot when unionization is proposed.
This is a direct affront to the historic
American principle of democracy.
* Obamas tax policy can be summed
up as follows: What you produce is
the property of the state. We would like
to take it all, but we know you would
stop working if we did. Therefore, we are
trying to determine how much to let you
keep so you will continue to work.
He has NEVER espoused or supported the
idea of private property rights. His
latest budget speech introduced the
notion of tax expenditures,
equating the act of government letting
you keep some of your income with expenditures
as if it was government property being
spent.
* The stake in our national heart is
Obamas massive spending spree.
Forty percent of current federal spending
is borrowed, an annual amount greater
than 10% of our Gross Domestic Product.
Every sober economist will testify that
this is the road to national ruin. We are
doomed if we continue and that is exactly
what Obama proposes, both in his original
budget and in his revised budget response
to various weak-kneed Republican plans.
Obamas spending proposals can only
be explained as a conscious attempt to
destroy America as a world power and
undermine our freedoms.
* As if the foregoing is not sufficient,
President Obama recently moved to
undermine the security of one of our few
reliable allies when he publicly proposed
that Israel accept a return to their
pre-1967 borders as the basis of renewed
negotiations with Hamas. What is his next
suggestion? Slipping anthrax into their
knishes and latkes?
* Space does not permit me to detail
other indictable grievances: the growth
of unaccountable regulatory Czars and
their fiefdoms, Obamas weakening of
our military, his other debilitating
foreign policy decisions, and the
destruction of our national pride via
endless apologies.
An assortment of policy disagreements is
to be expected, but those on this list
are not consistent with mere policy
disagreements in which both parties seek
the strengthening of the American
Republic or American ideals. Each of
these reeks of an innate distaste for
individual rights, private property, free
markets, and government as a
constitutionally-limited servant of the
people.
I am on the brink of declaring that
President Obama is a Manchurian Candidate
who succeeded to the presidency, the
leader of an American fifth column, and a
traitor in our midst.
Could this REALLY BE TRUE? Only the
readers of this column can save me from
such a seemingly inescapable conclusion.
