SNAKE OIL ON THE POTOMAC

SNAKE OIL ON THE POTOMAC

ON TUESDAY NIGHT BARACK OBAMA GAVE HIS STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS.  AS THESE EVENTS GO, IT WAS FILLED WITH ALL THE INCREASINGLY ADOLESCENT BACKSLAPPING BEHAVIOR THAT HAVE COME TO ADD AN AURA OF TEEN AGE THEATRICS TO WHAT SHOULD BE A SOLEMN EVENT CONCERNING A COUNTRY GOING DOWN THE DRAIN!

OBAMA BEGAN BY INVOKING THE GHOST OF JFK…THEN ASKED HIS COUNTRYMEN TO NOT HESITATE TO ASK THEIR COUNTRY TO DO VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING FOR THEM IT COULD DO. HE SOARED RHETORICALLY WITH A DAZZLING DISPLAY OF DELUSIONAL DUPLICITY BY INTRODUCING A CORNUCOPIA OF PLANS, PROJECTS AND FANTASIES THAT WERE ALL DESIGNED TO MAKE THE STATE THE MASTER OF US ALL IN THE NAME OF GOOD WORKS WHILE ASSURING US THAT IT WON’T COST US AN ADDITIONAL DIME. APPARENTLY HOWEVER ALL OF HIS GRANDIOSE PROPOSALS WILL COST US AT MOST RECENT COUNT, AN ESTIMATED $83 BILLION!.

HE SPOKE OF SIX MILLION NEW JOBS” THAT DON’T EXIST! …OF REDUCING THE DEFICIT BY $2.5 TRILLION WHICH DIDN‘T HAPPEN IN THE REAL WORLD OF REAL PEOPLE AND ADDITIONALLY TRIES TO CONFUSE PEOPLE WITH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE DEFICIT AND THE DEBT…

...OF REFORMING MEDICARE VIA A NEW PANEL TO LIMIT ALTERNATIVE CARE TO THE OLD, DISABLED AND TERMINALLY ILL AND WHICH CREEPILY FOCUSES OMINOUSLY ON CARE FOR SUB POPULATIONS… WHOEVER THEY ARE.

HE ALSO TOLD US THAT OBAMACARE HAS ALREADY CUT COSTS WHILE IGNORING THE REALITY OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO ARE PAYING HIGHER PREMIUMS AND CO-PAYS AND 7 MILLION WHO ON THE VERGE OF LOSING THE PLANS THEY HAVE NOW.

 HE COMPLAINED ABOUT OVERLAPPING REGULATIONS WHICH THWART NEW HOME PURCHASES.... ESSENTIALLY COMPLAINING ABOUT HIS OWN LACK OF COMPETENCE ON THE JOB SINCE THESE REGULATIONS COME FROM THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH!

HE WANTS TO END SO CALLED “TAX LOOPHOLES” FOR THE PRIVATE SECTOR BUT REPLACE THEM WITH SO CALLED ‘TAX INCENTIVES” FOR ANYONE DOING BUSINESS WITH AND FOR  THE STATE.

HE TOLD US THAT OUR ENERGY BILLS HAVE GONE DOWN ON HIS WATCH. ( I’M STILL REELING OVER THAT) . HE WANTS AN “ALL OF THE ABOVE”APPROACH TO ENERGY BUT LEAVES OUT COAL AND THE XL PIPELINE WHILE PUSING FOR CAP AND TRADE AND MORE “SUSTAINABLE“ “GREEN“ ENERGY BY LINKING THEM TO BRINGING BACK MANUFACTURING FROM OVERSEAS.

HE WANTS UNIVERSAL PRE SCHOOL WHICH IS A STATE OBLIGATION BUT WON’T SAY HOW HE WILL PAY FOR IT.

HE DENOUNCES THE SEQUESTRATION HE INITIATED AS BEING DESTRUCTIVE OF THE MILITARY AS IF HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT… ALL IN PREPARATION FOR BLAMING THE GOP WHEN NATIONAL DEFENSE IS GUTTED.

HE TALKS ABOUT MODERNIZING MISSILE DEFENSE AND IN THE NEXT BREATH WANTS TO UNILATERLY REDUCE OUR WARHEADS WHETHER THE RUSSIANS OR THE CHINESE DO THE SAME AS HE SIMULTANEOUSLY CUTS THE MISSILE DEFENSE BUDGET .

HE WANTS TO FIX THE 70,000 BRIDGES THAT NEED REPAIR AND ONE IS LEFT SAYING… ISN’T THAT WHAT THE STIMULUS WAS SUPPOSED TO DO?

HE WANTS THE DREAM ACT AND SHAMELESSLY CAMPAIGNS AGAINST THE 2^ND AMENDMENT ON THE BODIES OF MURDERED INNOCENTS WHILE NOT ADDRESSING A MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM THAT IS BROKEN BEYOND REPAIR.

SEN. MARCO RUBIO GAVE A BRILLIANT AND THOUGHTFUL RESPONSE TO OBAMA AND AS A RESULT HAS BEEN EXCORIATED BY THE NON TOILET TRAINED CHILREN OF THE MEDIA NOT FOR IT’S CONTENT, BUT FOR TAKING A DRINK OF WATER DURING THE BROADCAST. THIS IS A FINAL CONFIRMATION THAT OUR POLITICS HAS DEVOLVED FIRST INTO THEATRE AND THENCE HAS DESCENDED INTO FARCE.

OBAMA’S SPEECH IS A CLASSIC ILLUSTRATION OF WHAT RETIRING POPE BENEDICT XVI ONCE CALLED “THE DICTATORSHIP OF RELATIVITY”. THIS AT ITS ESSENCE, MEANS THE LOSS OF INDIVIDUAL SPIRITUAL, MORAL, POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC FREEDOM TO A RIGID COLLECTIVIST ORTHODOXY DISGUISED AS LIBERATION FROM THE VICISSITUDES OF LIFE AND FREEDOM FROM JUDGEMENT OF ANY KIND. GOD IS REPLACED BY THE STATE AND WITH IT GO ALL THE RIGHTS THAT GOD HAS GRANTED EACH OF US.  IN THEIR PLACE WE GET PERMISSION TO DO AND BEHAVE IN WAYS ACCEPTABLE TO POLITICIANS… PROVIDED WE BEHAVE!
