Brown
Victory Signals Second American Revolution
By
Joan Swirsky
When
Scott Brown gallops to victory today, capturing the Massachusetts senate
seat made absent by Sen. Ted Kennedy’s death, it will signal a definitive
referendum against all things Obama – his onerous and discriminatory
“healthcare” bill (which an overwhelming majority of Americans fear and loathe),
his failing economy, his escalating unemployment rate, his out-of-control
spending, his accumulating federal debt, and, in far broader terms, his
socialist-cum-communist regime, including those self-described Marxists and
Maoists czars who are trying to whiplash our country into Castro territory.
How
did this happen? It happened because America is a good and great country. Our
electorate – approximately 43 percent of the over-300-million people who bask
every day in America’s largesse – saw a nice young black man campaign for the
presidency in 2008 and gave him a chance in spite of serious doubts about his
lifelong radical associations with anti-American, anti-white, and anti-Semitic
friends, colleagues, political associates and his church, not to mention his
embarrassing lack of experience and also the grave questions about his
Constitutional eligibility to become president. For liberals it expiated the
white guilt of slavery; for conservatives it was yet another example of
America’s historical exceptionalism.
But
it didn’t take long for the cold harsh reality of this nice young man’s radical
agenda to set in and for Americans of every political stripe to recoil at:
· His
irresistible compulsion to bow and scrape to foreign despots
· His
serial apologies on foreign soil for big bad America’s sins
·
His reflexively siding
with racists like Harvard professor Skip Gates and the ACORN thugs
·
His egregious flouting of
the U.S. Constitution vis-à-vis the nearly-40 czars he has appointed to run our
country, many of them admitted Communists and Maoists with
extreme
and frightening viewpoints.
In fact,
Laura Hollis writes quite persuasively,
they are
all Communists.
·
His
intrusive and damaging meddling in our banking, automotive, energy, and
healthcare industries
·
His doling out billions
of dollars to foreign nations without Congressional approval
·
His destructive
manipulation of free markets
·
His attempts to control
the media and curb free speech, take away gun rights, and give our hard-earned
tax dollars to terrorist nations
·
His bizarre preference
for significantly increasing visas for Islamic terror-sponsoring nations, as
reported by Pamela Geller’s site,
AtlasShrugs.
And
this is the short list!
Then
there is Obama’s schoolmarm finger-wagging to tell the rest of us not to jump to
conclusions about the American-born Muslim terrorist who murdered 13 of our
soldiers at Fort Hood; and his waiting three full days to speak out – with
chilling iciness – about the Muslim terrorist who plotted nearly 300 mid-air
deaths on Christmas, and then calling this savage an “alleged” extremist.
This
kind of behavior does not sit well with Americans, who have increasingly doubted
if Obama is an American at all or if he has even a micrometer of sensibility
about what it means to be an American.
By
now it seems clear that Obama is a surrogate for powers much smarter and more
politically experienced than he. His almost pathological reliance on a
teleprompter and his by-now predictable lapses in decision making – even months
when it came to increasing troop levels in Afghanistan – appear to be a function
of his simply waiting it out until his bosses – Soros, Ayers, the Saudis, et al?
– make up their minds.
Publisher and writer JR Dieckmann thinks he knows exactly who is calling the
shots for Obama.”We have to look at who supported and
funded the Obama campaign,” he says.
It is foreign investors. It's the World Bank. It's the IMF (International
Monetary Fund). It's the Federal Reserve Bank. It's Ban Ki-moon and the UN. It
is the European Union. It is the Skull & Bones Society and the Bilderberg group.
It is even King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia and the Palestinians to some extent.
But the
ideology that Obama subscribes to is global socialism and communism. He takes
his cues from many different special interests that all share his Marxist
ideology and desire for global socialism.
His
objective is the same as the U.N,’s objective – global socialism and the
destruction of capitalism and the American value system…I should also include
the domestic components such as: SEIU, ACLU, the Soros funded Apollo Foundation,
the UAW and AFL-CIO, ACORN, AIG, Bear Sterns, etc. They are all part of the
global socialist cabal and led by liberal Democrats.
TO
WHAT END?
The
goal of Leftists like Obama is to deconstruct America, the better to reconstruct
it into their utopian fantasy of a perfect world in which no one ever has hurt
feelings, loses a ballgame, is unfavorably compared to anyone else, experiences
the green-eyed monster of envy, is restrained by society’s mores, is burdened by
adult decision-making, or encounters a conflict that cannot be resolved by
“talk.”
And
they believe that only Big Government – orchestrated by them, of course – can
actualize the fantasy of running people’s lives from cradle to grave. To that
end, they have tried for decades to improve society by doing the only thing they
know how to do, which is to throw other peoples’ money at every problem. They
are like those irritating children who never stop whining and complaining and
demanding and clinging and throwing tantrums until exasperated adults finally
give in and let them have their way.
As
journalist and author Erik Rush
elaborates upon,
in speaking about the terrorist William Ayers and his pal Barack Obama, it is
amazing that…
…that ilk are not laughed out of lecture halls for the profoundly juvenile
temperament of their political philosophy. Indeed, though couched in
intellectual trappings and mock sagacity, [their message] is little more than
the expression of deep spitefulness and envy. The more I am exposed to the
insipid, toxic mouthings of far-left icons, the more they come off like spoiled
children who believe they have a right to what another other child has simply
because they desire it.” To them, Rush continues, it is all about “…attaining
power that they never could have attained in a reward-based system. Their
rhetoric – preaching parity and equality while fomenting class envy – was just a
device by which they obtained your cooperation; a selfish, schoolyard ruse
employed to best another kid and take his stuff.
Indeed, the Leftist’s worldview is essentially that life is not fair because
some people have more than others, and so it is incumbent upon the haves to
treat the have-nots like, well, children! Don’t expect them to meet adult
standards, to work, to sacrifice, to do well in school, to obey the law, to pay
their mortgages and fair share of taxes, to weather disappointments, to fail and
then try again. That hard stuff is for grown-ups, not for the perpetual victims
the Left counts upon to keep them in office.
A
SHABBY TRACK RECORD
Just
look at what liberals have done over the past many decades.
·
They’ve thrown money at
the welfare system, which ended up destroying mostly black families and
exacerbating inequality.
·
They’ve thrown money at
education and dumbed-down curricula, but academic failure persisted and got
worse.
·
They’ve thrown money at
housing until Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac imploded, but they’re still propping up
this failed fiasco with billions of taxpayer dollars.
·
They’ve enacted
“fairness” laws to “level the playing field” in academia and the workplace, but
women still earn less than men and men still win more Nobel Prizes in the
sciences.
·
They’ve even tried
self-esteem-boosting schemes, exhorting people to praise themselves for being
instead of doing.
After decades of abject failure, after every one of their schemes and plans and
philosophies and policies failed, it was clear to all but the starry-eyed,
hate-American liberals that they had no clue about improving society. Of course
admitting to their history of colossal failure is unthinkable to them, actually
psychologically impossible. To acknowledge that everything they’ve stood for
and spent their lives believing in was just plain wrong – and dumb – has never
been a part of their limited repertoire. To have done so would have been to
admit that in spite of their bleeding-heart good intentions and touchy-feely
embrace of multiculturalism and diversity, (1) life is inherently not fair and
(2) some people and some cultures are simply more motivated, creative,
productive, generous, and – gasp – superior to others!
PLUS
ÇA CHANGE…
In
every election the Left wins – think of LBJ, Carter, Bill and Hill, and now
Obama – these grown-ups who act like children prove to be incapable of managing
economies and waging wars. Of course, they invariably attribute their failures
to scapegoats and they cling ever more tenaciously to their core belief, which
is that Communism (cloaked as the “compassionate” redistribution of wealth) is
the only solution to the unfair vicissitudes of life and to a human condition
that is inherently, genetically, endemically unequal.
Stealing whole chapters from Marx, Engels, Mao, Castro, and their ignominious
ilk, they believe that freedom and success are for the elite few because the
masses they claim to represent are too stupid to make decisions on their own.
But
whaddaya know?! When Obama was in office only three months, “the sleeping giant”
of America’s awareness (as one Tea Party participant phrased it) woke up to the
monstrous intention of the Obama regime to destroy the middle class through
draconian tax hikes vis-à-vis its cap-and-tax and healthcare schemes. As the Tea
Party movement gained huge momentum – attracting multi-millions of Republicans,
Democrats and Independents – the best that the liberal children in office and
the media could do was call names, denigrate and insult. The net result: the Tea
Parties gained in strength and numbers.
In
the last “special” elections, two Republicans won governor races in Virginia and
New Jersey. The net result: leftist politicians sped up their bribe-and-threat
machine to try to ram and cram the healthcare bill down the throats of millions
of unwilling Americans.
While the Tea Party movement and the stunning upsets in VA and NJ didn’t stop
the runaway train of Obama’s destroy-America agenda, the Scott victory will.
Goodbye socialized medicine with its death panels and citizen-subsidized
abortions. Goodbye to the Obama regime’s routine violations of the U.S.
Constitution. Goodbye to the Fifth Column traitors who are sabotaging our
country by coddling terrorists and prosecuting our heroic SEALS. Goodbye to the
rigged elections in the upcoming midterms that the Democrats and their Acorn
partners-in-crime count on to win.
And
hello to real change we can believe in – the return of conservatism and, at
least for me, insistence that all future candidates vow to REPEAL each and every
piece of misguided legislation, presidential signing order, policy, et al,
inflicted on our country by Barack Hussein Obama.
As writer Carol Platt Liebau
has written: “ Certainly,
2009 was a dark and disheartening year for lovers of economic and individual
liberty. But if next year shapes up in accordance with current trends, the tide
is about to change. With a growing recognition of the preciousness (and
fragility) of liberty and a renewed appreciation of our founding principles,
America is poised for a rebirth of freedom. Hail 2010: The Year of the Citizen.”
