Obama made an appearance at Disney World the other day, a fitting place for him and the fantasy world he lives in. I don’t have a problem with fantasy – I enjoyed the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, but the world of fantasy Obama dreams of is a dark place. That said, I think Tolkien voiced it best when he wrote: “Let him not vow to walk in the dark, who has seen the darkness fall.”
I was reminded just how dark Obama’s fantasy world is when a friend forwarded me an article about companies being fined for not using biofuels. Writing for the New York Times, Matthew Wald, wrote that U.S. companies that supply motor fuel will pay approximately “$6.8 million in penalties to the Treasury because they failed to mix a special type of biofuel into their gasoline and diesel as required by law. But there was none to be had … the ingredient, cellulosic biofuel, does not exist.” (“A Fine for Not Using a Biofuel That Doesn’t Exist,” Jan. 9, 2012)
And it doesn’t stop there. As Wald points out, “In 2012, the oil companies expect to pay even higher penalties for failing to blend in the fuel, which is made from wood chips or the inedible parts of plants like corncobs.”
This is more sinister than just being an advocate for biofuels and green technology – it is Obama using the position of president to shape America into a world based on theorization from socialist classrooms, a world in which government reigns supreme and people and industry exist to serve government by providing for the needs of same.
Obama is a spiteful, venomous being who uses bullying tactics and economic violence to accomplish his agenda. So committed is he to forcing America into subscribing to his green biofuel fantasy world, that he was willing to deny the building of the Keystone pipeline. Not only would the pipeline have created jobs – it would have increased tax revenues, and it would have increased dollars being spent in the communities. Even more importantly, the pipeline would have helped lower fuel prices.
One can argue that by keeping fuel prices artificially inflated, Obama can keep people dependent upon government for their subsistence. And they would be right, but it goes deeper than just to those communist proclivities alone. It goes to the core of his being. He doesn’t have a dream for America – he has a thirst for control/power that has been witnessed in the form of Chavez, Castro, Mao and Lenin. That said, I find it interesting that the mainstream media and others who applauded Obama’s aria of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together” were applauding Obama for performing an act that mirrored Hugo Chavez singing in front of the United Nations – right before he ordered the people of Venezuela to stop singing in their showers as a means to save water and cut electricity use – but I digress.
Obama’s intention has never been to govern America – his intention has always been to rule over the fundamental changing of America. That said, the question that begs answering is not what he wants to change the country into, rather, it’s why is the so-called Republican leadership, so craven and feckless, allowing him to get away with it?
How is the best interest of the people, of states directly affected by Obama’s refusal to allow the pipeline to be built, being served? How is the best interest of people who depend on the companies being fined for not using a nonexistent fuel being served? How is the best interest of the American people served when billions of dollars are given to failing companies, like Solyndra, and/or to companies that fail immediately after receiving tax dollars?
Are our representatives to serve us or serve themselves to boundless benefits, based on their passing legislation that enables them to take advantage of their position? Are they elected to stand up for us, as our nation’s prosperity collapses, or stand for those who hand them the means to become millionaires at our expense?
Those in Congress should be replaced right after being indicted for abrogation of their fiduciary responsibility to represent the best interest of the people in the states they are from. They are complicit in what Obama has done and is doing. Pursuant to Obama, I believe there exists ample cause to, at the very least, make every possible effort to impeach and indict him for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Obama was elected to serve, lead and represent the United States and the people of same, not change America into something antithetical to the Constitution. He was not elected to amuse himself at our expense, with the 25-cent version of Hugo Chavez, and have his wife play the role of an Imelda Marcos wannabe.
mychal,
I think you are underestimating the ferocity and will of the American people. After decades of freedom and prosperity, Americans are not going to accept control without ferocious opposition. Keep in mind that countries like Russia had been suppressed economically and politically for centuries, and sought for any way out of it. Hence, communism was an easy sell. I know for me, I am already angry enough as it is. Look at the millions of rednecks, who will die before they give up their pickup or let anyone tell them what to do. Look at the millions of blacks, especially southern blacks, who are fed up with the proletariat white man ripping them off, and need just a nudge to put them over the top. that nudge could come in 2013 or so, when the national debt will begin to erode the economy, and people will be kicked out of their homes, the last bastion of material wealth they have. If Obama thinks he can communize America like his socialist classrooms demand, he has another thing coming. Theory, of course, is much different than practice. If he taxes the middle class heavily to curb the debt, they will go bankrupt and revolt. Don’t kid yourself, there are millions of Americans and illegal aliens that will jump at the chance to get even with the government which has failed them. God forbid that they turn the military on us, in order to quell rioting, because that will give people just cause to fight back even more. This country will not go lightly into that good night, thank you very much
Mr. McClain’s second paragraph explains the difference between my generation (54 yrs old) and my children. We had true freedom, now I realize my adult children never really experienced that type of freedom. I love reading this
Nailed it again.
Baracus Obamus wants to be emperor not President he hates that title, and Mochelle was on 1 of those kids cable channels and was called “your highness” by mistake by one of the little girls and she replied ” you know I kind of like that” followed by a laugh track. Narcissism runs deep in them 2…
I am fify four, a two decade of service retired Marine, and while I hold the same concerns as most who have commented, I have no fear of what is to come.
I gave my life to God long ago, after returning from Beirut, and learning what war is, personally. I have two adult children, and they have been largely subsumed by the new culture, and never having been free, don’t miss what I miss, but what they do miss, was the things I didn’t want because I had freedom instead.
I will not see my Nation, the one I have loved with all my mind, in understanding, with all my heart, in feeling the very foundational fear and the rising up of the courage I read about as a young boy, which taught me how we sought our rights through the law for more than two decades before choosing the sever the ties, and doing so with a clear and cogent declaration which has been in “The World” for any free and independent person to assume as his or her own, ever since, and having just seen the plans for the new “terra-hertz” machines soon to be on the streets of New York, right before reading this very accurate and timely column, I will always choose freedom.
I write my own column, with the hopes Americans will choose to reclaim our full authority, but I have no illusions, people wake up after the slaughter begins, not before. when the last straw is put on the back, I will take what I have for survival and set up against the illegal central government, and I hope I will use up the vast majority of my assets before I am killed. My greatest hope is to run out of ammunition and have to confront the bastards with a bayonet, so they can shoot me down for the news.
I have one of the finest women in the world for a wife, I love her dearly, and would do anything for her, and I love my children with all my heart, but I did not take my oath for fun, and having done so before the God of Creation, I will fulfill it, I have no fear of pain, I’ve had my share and some. Death ends this part, and is only to be feared if one is not right with The Lord of Hosts. I have no doubt our Nation was under the hand of the Divine Power, or we would never have overcome the greatest Empire the world ever saw.
My only hope is that in the end, my personal actions will be such that they will engender a Godly reaction from those who have only wished these things would go away, and give them cause to find reason to rise up themselves.
The Constitution is the Law We, The People put over our lawful government, spelled out in exactitude. That the government pays no heed at all to it makes every act of government null and void at the inception, as nothing produced by criminal action can be ever construed as legitimate law, and nothing done by government, outside of the law can be construed as anything but criminal action of government its self.
We may not control it, and it is our fault, yet that changes nothing with regard to legal standing, and the rule of law. Unless government is under the law, it cannot act “under the rule of law”, and nothing it has done has been legal in decades.
We have failed to rein it in, and in failing, we have left it to others to confront it and put it down like a rabid dog it has become. That is the fault of all who would be citizens, without accepting responsibility for putting out the criminals who show themselves while in office.
I don’t mind, it will be an opportunity to punish those who have settled rules of engagement upon those they sent to war in their stead, yet have chosen to rule over how the individuals will operate in the war, they themselves refused to serve in. When the time comes, I will establish my own rules of engagement.
Well,Well, looks like as we get closer to election time, Obama is pulling out all the stops to do as much damage by trampling all over the Constitution as he can. I’m not surprised, tho’. I still look for him to cause some ‘crisis’in order to declare martial law & suspend the election anyway. I said that back in 2008 when the market free-falled. It was a managed crisis then & I think there will be one this fall. Don’t know if anyone out there (Dan might)remember when there was a “computer glitch” – as they called it – when all the markets went to 0. I’ve felt deep down & still do that was a test. Oddly enough, I said all these things about Hillary when she was the front-runner as they are 2 sides of the same coin. I do think Obama is taking marching orders from someone – even tho’ most ascribe him as clueless- I feel this is a pre-meditated plan to take us to 3rd world status-I remember watching it happen in the Clintonista’s early days. The best I can say is Pray and Prepare!!
Absolutely, Chris, I keep waiting for a “crisis” as well. Well said!
The democrats, and some Republicans, I talk with blame “Congress” and NOT Obama. They say that a President cannot act without Congress. They still believe that!! Either they don’t watch the news or read. I’m not saying that Congress isn’t held accountable; they are, for following the marxist Obama and not using common sense and the Constitution. The longer Obama stays in the oval office, the more The People will have to repair. I hope that other States will follow Georgia’s lead. We need more decent learned ‘common folk” to demand in each State to investigate Obama before he can campaign in the States. “Is he legally able to be the next President of the United States and campaign in each State!” If Obama refuses to prove that he is legally able, is it that Obama feels ‘above’ the legal process or is it that Obama would self-incriminate himself? I guess if Congress will not do their duties then it is up to each State to bring down the fraudulent president.
And I just read that he is ignoring appearing in a Georgia Court to answer the charges that he is not constitutionally eligible to be our President! JUST IGNORING IT! Proceeding with his campaigning with his usual brazen, arrogant, “I do as I please” attitude! I hope the court goes forward with this and holds him in contempt, just like we would be if it were “We the Commoners”!
I know Christ wept over Jerusalem. I have never cried over my country, but if on election night, it becomes apparent that we’re getting four more years of Obama, I can tell you now that I will weep bitterly over the loss of the land I once knew…and the implications for my 3 kids and 7 grandkids.
It’s comforting and great to be 77. I won’t experience much of what is being created by Obama. What is chilling, is what my children, grand children and great grand children yet to be born will have to endure.
Charlie…..unfortunately I often feel as you do, being just 6 months short of my 77th. It’s really sad when you think about it, isn’t it?
I used to work for an education reform foundation. Meetings were our biggest activity… My position was ancillary, but they believed in “inclusion”. So one day i had had enough at the current meeting, and said, “You know that a system is no longer working when its reason for being is to perpetuate itself.” Of course I took a lot of heat for that statement, but I still hold it to be true. Our government is not working, because its reason for being has become to perpetuate and grow itself. Itself being those that benefit from being a part of it, to the expense of every other American citizen. Systems, including government, were set up to serve. When service becomes self-service its time for change. My hope is that “slumbering America” will WAKE UP and say NO MORE!
I am soon to be 65 years old and I am truly scared for my children and grandchildren. It seems no matter how much I try to explain the disastorous policies of this administration to Obamaites, they just turn a deaf ear and tell me I am the crazy one. I am beginning to feel the end is truly near. I am very sad today.
I can understand your frustration, Roy. Keep in mind that this decline in educational standards was set up long ago by the likes of John D Rockefeller Sr & his lackey, Fred Gates in the name of philanthropy. It was called the General Education Board but the objective was not to raise the general level of education but ot convert the American people into a docile herd of content & uncomplaining workers. At the time, Gates summarized: ” The task we set before ourselvesis very simple as well as a very beautiful one: To train these people as we find them to a perfectly ideal life just where they are. We will organize our children into a community & teach them to do in a perfect way the things their fathers & mothers are doing in an imperfect way, in the homes, int he shop & on the farm.” That was in 1904 and thanks to technology today they have become Facebook statues w/ no social skills, texting monkeys and videogame zombies, oblivious to the world crashing about them. As long as they’re entertained…..
Chris, I believe you are accurately defining the word ‘DRONE’!
Roy, I’m just a little older than you; I’ve faced the same response when I try to warn people about the events in the country. I, too, have been told “you’re crazy.” – A serious issue I’m having: do I retain a friendship with someone I know is a devout Obamaite & even admits she’s “far left?” In my mind, being in that catagory amounts to hating America and for what it has always stood. Being of the cold war era, I find it difficult to accept knowing people who are, basically, Communists.
Roy,
I feel the same way every day. I can’t sleep at night, thinking that hyperinflation and disaster is right around the corner. There is something to this 12/21/12 date which scares me. It’s not going to be an alighment of the planets which causes havoc, it’s going to be financial. It could all change literally overnight, just as the financial crisis of 2008 ground the economy to a halt in just a few days. The younger people of today have no idea, because they have no point of reference like us older folks.
We need to do something to turn the tide toward conservatism, especially among black voters who will vote for that fool in office for one reason only. Why don’t you challenge guys like Tavis Siley and Michael Baisden to a debate onair and get the truth out there, assuming they have the testicular fortitude to agree?
WHO IS THE REAL PARTY OF….. NO
No more tax cuts. Let tax cuts expire we can’t “afford” them.
No more workplace secret ballots. Unions must control and rule the workforce.
No more drilling. Cripple big business and suffocate the little ones and waste more tax dollars on Green Energy.
No more private health insurance. The benevolent government is your Nanny now. (Exceptions: Congress, White House, Unions, all large contributors to Obama’s reelection)
No more Constitution. Rule by Executive order, recess appointments and a puppet Supreme Court to be stacked by Obama
No more free speech. Only liberal media approved by the White House permitted to speak of his Agenda.
No more prosecution for voter fraud or intimidation. We won, you lost and Holder has always liked Black Panthers anyway.
No more mention of God. Obama has anointed Czars’ to watch over us with numerous Christian in name only politicians from both parties to help guide our way to oblivion.
No more sanctity in marriage. Homosexuality must be taught in schools and encouraged in society as an equal to heterosexual marriage.
And one way or another it must be established (By Hillary and the U.N. if necessary)…
No more guns for the citizens. They are for BHO’s promised Civilian Security Force which is to “be as well equipped and funded as our current military”.
In short No More America as we knew it!
What a sad time this is … seeing our great nation brought down by these people. It saddens me to think of the world my grandchildren will inherit from us.
I am chilled to the bone by what this man is doing — and the reality that Democrats and Republicans alike are LETTING him do it.
God spoke to Jeremiah of “foolish people without understanding, who have eyes and see not, and who have ears and hear not.” (Jer. 5:21) Oh my, does no one read history books any more? Do we not remember all the nations and races of people led by their leaders all the way to annihilation?
Please keep it coming, Mychal. Our very lives depend on it.
I think people believe what they want to believe just like religion. It amazes me how many people actually believe Obama is just another democrat politician looking out for the little guy. When I point out the damage he’s doing to the Constitution and our economy, they don’t believe me. It’s really frustrating.
I’m with you, Kelso. I’m so disheartened when I talk with people – especially those I KNOW to be educated, sane people, many of whom I have loved and admired my whole life – pooh-pooh those of us who dare to stand up and show actual proof of the shenanigans going on by our government to intentionally tear this country down. Their defense is always the same – to blame us for trying to cause discord between Americans, whether it be between the parties, races or classes. There have always existed the tinfoil hat wearers and conspiracy theorists, but when there is actual proof of these dastardly deeds, not just suppositions and suspicion, how is it possible that the denial can continue? I marvel, sadly, at how unwilling these unsuspecting folks are, to look at the cold, hard facts. It’s all I can do sometimes to keep from blurting out, “Are you SERIOUSLY this STUPID???” Most of the people I’m thinking of were the most vocal haters of the Bush administration – it’s scary how closed their eyes suddenly are when it comes to the Obama administration. The only thing I can figure is that they like what he “says” and don’t care to look into or face what he actually “does.” I can’t, in my heart of hearts, believe that all of the Obama supporters are as evil as he is – on the other hand, I can’t believe all of his supporters are complete idiots, either. I can only hope, like the rest of us with our horrified eyes wide open, that come November, the masses will speak and throw this clown out on his ear. So many of us believe and want him to be tried for crimes against this country, but that will never happen. Instead, even if he is ousted, he and that Evil Queen of his will live the rest of their lives in the lap of luxury. Can’t wait til his kids grow up and write a book!
I’d vote for you in a heartbeat if You ran for President!
