So Much For Buying The World A Coke!

burning cokeLightbringer is having a rhetoric deficit on just about every front.  Obama has treated the US Economy like a rental car.  He has only taken a middling interest in international matters, and only when he thought it might burnish his street cred.  The problem there is that he never had any cred to burnish.  The international community was briefly enamoured with him but only because they saw how weak he was.  A weak American President leaves plenty of room for other players to “improve their market share.”

Most of the problems we now face are a result of other powers filling the vacuum Mr. Obama has created.

Regardless of that, Mr. Obama is about as respected a world leader as a blow up doll at a frat party.  He is welcomed around the globe as a novelty, and a way to improve the status of the locals who, by comparison, appear brilliant–because by comparison, they are.

In just a few short years things have gotten markedly worse.  Iran, Iraq, Syria, North Korea, Libya, Egypt, Ukraine, Russia rising, China flexing, and a host of other nations, are all on fire or in turmoil, plagued by terrorism or civil war,  and less free, all under the hopey-changey umbrella of a clueless faculty lounge vanity plate with the IQ of a soap dish who promised to unite the world with his calming words.

I’d like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I’d like to buy the world a Coke
And keep it company
That’s the real thing.

Instead, we got empty rhetoric, hopeless change, misery, decline, a near valueless currency, monumental debt, new and larger bubbles waiting to burst, and growing global chaos and uncertainty.

There are very few places left on earth where there isn’t uncertainty, economic, or military upheaval, with the potential for more uncertainty filling in the space between. The vacuum is winning.

Even here at home, where things are bad, they were not bad enough.  Lightbringer has incited a foreign invasion to overwhelm the system while demanding billions more in new debt (to add the nearly 8 trillion in new debt he piled on in six short years) to deal with another problem he created.

Even serfs can be indifferent to the changing and often capricious face of monarchy if they are, for the most part, left alone to their simple lives.  But the Obama years do not even offer a swelling tyranny with that simple caveat.  His is a constant drain.   A day does not pass without a demand for our attention and action in response to some new fear, or program, or so-called solution,.  These in turn create another fear, problem, or need another solution; all of it manufactured by the administration to validate an expanding and increasingly militarized bureaucracy, armed to defend the government, not the people who are expected to pay for it all from a dwindling pot of harder to earn and less valuable dollars.  You’d think that most American’s would have grown weary of it.

If you are paying close attention you will have come to the proper conclusion that this is exactly the point.  Everyone is encouraged to disengage except for those loyal to the regime.  Freed from having to answer for its actions, it is left to cultivate crisis in perpetuity to justify its oppressive nature, always claiming to oppress in defense of the people it milks dry, when it is actually defending itself from their likely revolt after having been lead to misery and dependency, then left helpless when that dependency can no longer be financed with valueless dollars incapable of paying off mountains of government debt.

This is why they want so badly to disarm you.  Resistance must not just appear futile.

Now, you could argue that this isn’t all Obama’s fault, and that is partly true.  Americans, or people posing as the electorate, have long tolerated the expanding tyranny of the state, but the culmination of this ignorant track was the election of this idiot man-child and his rouges gallery of progressive horribles.  So We The People share in the bulk of the blame.  We are also at fault for not adequately (and in large enough numbers) questioning a complicit media that never vetted this man, after so savagely challenging every breath from the previous administration.  A media that continues to cover for Obama and is happy to distract from his incompetence while actual people, both here and abroad, suffer and die.

This is nothing new to the activists who will read this, or the campaign folks who are trying to use it to win office.   The world is not better off.  The lies have come to term and unless we can flush out all the bad water in the swamp–not just this administration but the bureaucratic horde that feeds on the nation beneath every administration–the noxious gas is going to kill us all.

Here is how the Middle East looks (as an example) after just a few years of Lightbringer laying his healing hands across the globe.  It is far worse off than before, as are we, and most everyone else, with no immediate improvement in sight.

This is not a problem we solve overnight, but we can begin to solve it on election night. We need to choose candidates in our primaries who will work harder to defend the people from the government than the government from the people. Candidates who will defend the states before the Federal government. People with sound principles who will work against the immense centralization of power.

You do not have to run against government. You just have to run in favor of a redistribution of its wealth; return it back to the states and the people where they can decide how much government they want or can afford. Until such time as we accomplish that, any number of future Obama’s, regardless of party affiliation, will continue to have at their disposal the power to impose ruin on a nation whose decline, like it or not, affects the stability of the entire world.
