They Destroyed
Our Country
“They knew
Obama was an unqualified crook; yet they promoted him. They knew Obama was a
train wreck waiting to happen; yet they made him president, to the great injury
of America and the world. They understood he was only a figurehead, an
egomaniac, and a liar; yet they made him king, doing great harm to our republic
(perhaps irreparable.)”
'Incompetent'
and 'liar' among most frequently used words to describe the president: Pew
Research Center
They knew Obama was an unqualified crook; yet they promoted
him. They knew Obama was a train wreck waiting to happen; yet they made him
president, to the great injury of America and the world. They understood he was
only a figurehead, an egomaniac, and a liar; yet they made him king, doing
great harm to our republic (perhaps irreparable.)
We are talking about the Clintons, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer,
Frank, Wasserman-Schultz, Biden, Leahy, Durbin, Murray, Kennedy, Hagel, Kerry,
Dodd, Hoyer, Baucus, and many others.
They all knew Obama was an empty suit; yet for private gain
and personal advancement, they trampled on the flag, betraying the very people
they claim to serve, preferring Party to principle. During the 2008 campaign,
they said he was unqualified, ill-prepared, and unsuited for the office. Yet
when his crooked ways carved out primary victory, they jumped on board the Ship
of Fools, stoking his engine with lies, deception, and propaganda. Hillary knew
he stole victory; but like a good Party operative, she buttoned her lip and
took orders, submitting to authority and covering criminality.
The Ship of Fools also carried members of the 'progressive'
propaganda press, people who made it a full time job to promote the Democrat
agenda and the joke called the Obama Administration: Chris Matthews, Rather,
Maddow, Schultz, Olbermann, Moyers, Sullivan, Friedman, Huffington, Sharpton,
and Krugman and legions of others.
They banded together with the likes of Bill Ayers, Jeremiah
Wright, George Soros, Saul Alinsky, Khalid Al-Mansour, Rashid Khalidi, and
legions of other radical Islamists, communists, and assorted America-haters.
Embarrassingly, many Republicans and so-called conservatives either helped the
farce along or were used as pawns in the promotion of the hoax. But the
greatest disgrace of all were evangelicals. Through sloth or ignorance, they
either voted for the poser or stayed at home on election day.
And what progress have the "progressives"
delivered?
◾A
ruined economy.
◾Insurmountable
debt.
◾Bankruptcy.
◾Record
numbers on disability and food stamps, a dependency class mushrooming out of
control.
◾Federal
despotism.
◾Domestic
chaos, violence, and deepening divisions.
◾Systemic
demoralization.
◾Emboldened
enemies.
◾Erosion
of constitutional protections.
◾Looming
tyranny.
◾Loss
of global standing.
...AND SABOTAGED OUR BORDERS WITH NARCOMEX TO BUILD THE LA
RAZA DEM PARTY of ILLEGALS!
Now, with whistleblowers finally getting an ear on The Hill
and in the media, we are learning the truth about Benghazi. We are seeing the
end of Obama as a consequence; but, even if he exits, the disease remains.
They knew he was a catastrophe. They knew ObamaCare was a
train wreck. They knew. Yet they proceeded, and they may have destroyed our
country. For that, they can never be forgiven.

Democrats Move Towards
‘Oligarchical Socialism,’ Says
Forecaster Joel Kotkin

Left-wing
progressives are embracing a political alliance with Silicon Valley oligarchs
who would trap Americans in a cramped future without hope of upward
mobility for themselves or their children, says a left-wing political analyst
in California.
Under the headline “America is moving toward an oligarchical
socialism,” Joel Kotkin writes:
Historically, liberals advocated helping the middle class
achieve greater independence, notably by owning houses and starting companies.
But the tech oligarchy — the people who run the five most capitalized firms on
Wall Street — have a far less egalitarian vision. Greg Fehrenstein, who
interviewed 147 digital company founders, says most believe that “an
increasingly greater share of economic wealth will be generated by a smaller
slice of very talented or original people. Everyone else will increasingly subsist
on some combination of part-time entrepreneurial ’gig work‘ and government
aid.”
Numerous oligarchs — Mark Zuckerberg, Pierre Omidyar, founder of
eBay, Elon Musk and Sam Altman, founder of the Y Combinator — have embraced
this vision including a “guaranteed wage,” usually $500 or a $1,000 monthly.
Our new economic overlords are not typical anti-tax billionaires in the
traditional mode; they see government spending as a means of keeping the
populist pitchforks away. This may be the only politically sustainable way to
expand “the gig economy,” which grew to 7 million workers this year, 26 percent
above the year before.
Handouts, including housing subsidies, could guarantee for the
next generation a future not of owned houses, but rented small, modest apartments.
Unable to grow into property-owning adults, they will subsist while playing
with their phones, video games and virtual reality in what Google calls
“immersive computing.”
This plan, however, is being challenged by the return of
populism and nationalism when President Donald Trump defeated the GOP’s
corporatist candidates and the progressives’ candidate in 2016. In his 2017
inauguration, Trump declared:
For too long, a small group in our nation’s capital
has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the
cost. Washington flourished, but the people did not share in its
wealth. Politicians prospered, but the jobs left and the factories
closed. The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our
country. Their victories have not been your victories. Their triumphs have not
been your triumphs. And while they celebrated in our nation’s capital, there
was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.
That all changes starting right here and right now because this
moment is your moment, it belongs to you …
What truly matters is not which party controls our government,
but whether our government is controlled by the people.
For several years, Kotkin has been dissecting the Democrats’
shift from working-class politics toward a tacit alliance with the billionaires
in the new information-technology industries that are centralizing wealth and
power through the United States. In 2013, for example, he argued that
California’s politics were increasingly “feudal“:
As late as the 80s, California was democratic in a fundamental
sense, a place for outsiders and, increasingly, immigrants—roughly 60 percent
of the population was considered middle class. Now, instead of a land of
opportunity, California has become increasingly feudal. According to recent
census estimates, the state suffers some of the highest levels of inequality in the country. By some estimates, the state’s level of
inequality compares with that of such global models as the Dominican Republic, Gambia, and the Republic of the
Congo.
At the same time, the Golden State now suffers the highest level
of poverty in the country—23.5 percent compared to 16 percent nationally—worse
than long-term hard luck cases like Mississippi. It is also now home to
roughly one-third of the
nation’s welfare recipients, almost three times its proportion of the nation’s
population.
Like medieval serfs, increasing numbers of Californians are
downwardly mobile, and doing worse than their parents: native born Latinos
actually have shorter lifespans than their parents, according to one
recent report. Nor are
things expected to get better any time soon. According to a recent Hoover
Institution survey, most
Californians expect their incomes to stagnate in the coming six months, a sense
widely shared among the young, whites, Latinos, females, and the less educated.
“Protecting citizens from industrial capitalism’s
giant corporations? Where were the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Federal Reserve, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the Office of Federal
Housing Enterprise Oversight as the mortgage bubble blew up in 2008, nearly
taking the whole financial system with it and producing the worst economic bust
since the Great Depression, which even today has sunk the labor-force
participation rate and hiked the suicide rate among working-class men and women
to record levels?”
“By contrast, many voters give Barack Obama no such
credit for his analogous response to the Great Recession.”
“Mexican criminals really have infiltrated the
country and really have killed Americans, inevitably, under the
administration’s anything-goes immigration stance.”
