Barack Obama’s Presidency Failed in the First 3 Weeks

A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government; it
can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves
largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority
always vote for the candidates promising the most benefits from the
public treasury, with the result that a Democracy always collapses over
loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age
of the world’s greatest civilizations has been two hundred years. These
nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to
spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to
liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from
selfishness to complacency; from complacence to apathy; from apathy to
dependence; from dependency back again into bondage. – Sir Alex Fraser Tytler

One could follow the path of the United States along the sequences
listed in the above quote, and could quite confidently, and inarguably,
deduce the current locality of the United States’ democratic
evolvement. The congressional election in 2006 and the presidential
election of 2008 would, through the prism of common sense, place the
United States in the from complacence to apathy stage of democratic evolution.

Just over one-half of this country elected a president and Congress
that not only promised, but have in the first weeks, aggressively
enacted, or are in the process of enacting, laws and executive orders
that will have long lasting and devastating effects on this country,
all for the sake of dependence. It is one-half of this country’s
profound apathy and obscene dependency that has given Barack Obama and
the Democrat majority in the House of Representatives and the Senate an
avenue with which to implement their socialist ideology through the
guise of a "stimulus package". The most absurd aspect of this "stimulus
package" Obama has been merchandising with his infomercial-styled tour
is his promise to rescue the economy from impending economic
Armageddon, but what he will not acknowledge is that the current state
of the economy was caused by the perennially unsuccessful Keynesian
economics that he intends to implement. The Democrat’s "stimulus
package" would be more appropriately named if stimulus were substituted with malignancy.
This "stimulus package" consists primarily of pork, earmarks, and pet
projects on the economic side; and on the political side, it is laden
with socialistic contrivances that have been cryptically sequestered
since the days of Eugene Debs. This bill contains less than five
percent of anything that could even remotely be considered capable of
stimulating the economy.

Just over one-half of the voters entered into a Faustian pact with
the left by trading our capitalist economy for a socialist form of
government without knowing the contents or the ramifications of the
pact. The abject ignorance of the American populace in regard to basic
economics is partially to blame. With only a rudimentary knowledge of
economics, the average American would have been able to discern, with
knowledge, that Barack Obama was, and is currently, lying to 100% of
the American public about what his plan will do for the economy–but
one-half of the American people, apparently, could care less. For those
who care, this is not a stimulus bill, it is a spending bill, and is a
tool for the Democrats to buy votes and consolidate and monopolize
socialistic power. It is the same reason that FDR was elected for three
terms–because he bought votes with other people’s money which granted
him the audacity to try to consolidate and monopolize power.
Considering the character and blatant power-grabbing history of Nancy
Pelosi and Harry Reid, and the governing style of Barack Obama since
taking office, this is a systematic agenda for taking control.

Obama has two more readily available tools for absolute socialistic
rule of this country, and has already exercised one of them by moving
the Census Bureau from the Commerce Department to the White House; and
by bestowing the powers to operate the Census Bureau on his Chief of
Staff, Rahm Emanuel, Obama has the potential to control how
congressional districts are divided after the 2010 census. This is a
power grab reminiscent of FDR’s Supreme Court packing scheme, the
difference being, the Congress FDR dealt with rejected the idea out of
some remnants of duty buried within them; but this morally insolvent
Congress has demonstrated a boundless approach in the enacting of a
socialistic ideology. How does taking the Census Bureau out of the
hands of non-partisan mathematical scientists, and giving it to a
rabidly partisan chief of staff, have the potential to create perpetual
power? Joseph Stalin said it best: "Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything." Whoever
controls the census, controls congressional redistricting; and whoever
controls congressional redistricting, controls who is elected to the
House of Representatives–etcetera, etcetera.

Another tool that Obama and the Democrats have readily at their
disposal is the reenactment of the Fairness Doctrine. Talk radio is
dominated by conservative talk shows; most conservatives get their
information from talk radio; conservative talk radio continually
exposes the underbelly of the Democrat party. The reenactment of the
Fairness Doctrine would silence conservative radio, and could reach as
far as television and internet content, as the Democrats in power have
demonstrated that their reach, if unchecked, has no boundaries. This is
an act that would more than likely not survive the Supreme Court on 1st
Amendment principles. And if enacted, and defeated at that the Supreme
Court level, it will present an opportunity for Obama to "pack the
court", and he will only get resistance from one-half of this country
and the minority of Republicans, sans Snowe, Collins, and Specter, in
the Congress.

There is a potential Armageddon on the horizon, but it is not from
the source the Democrats would have you believe; converting the
strongest capitalist country the world has ever known into a socialist
society is the Armageddon that looms.

But not all is a lost cause. Barack Obama’s only
discernible skill and track record is the ability to campaign. He
campaigned his way through the ugly Chicago politics to the state
senate by being more unprincipled than his adversaries; he campaigned
his way to the U.S. Senate with the same tactics; and now that he is
President, he is campaigning daily for the acceptance and passage of
his "stimulus package". His problem is that his presidential failure
will start with the impending passage of his "stimulus package", which
will wrap an almost immeasurable albatross around his neck, the
Congress’ neck, and America’s neck. And once the magnitude and
contents, become manifest, the only relief from the misery it will
wreak will be the repossession of this country by more than one-half of
the American voters.
