America has turned upside down, where wrong is right and dishonesty is praised, and the America people sit back and let it happen without an outcry from any except a few voices, voices that have been attacked for their opinions, not in the normal discourse, but with clear malicious misrepresentation.
The Speaker of the House accused the CIA of continually lying to Congress and nothing, absolutely nothing is done. Pelosi refused to speak on it further, and that’s that. The media moves on to other topics, such as trying to find out if she will have tea or coffee for breakfast.
The President of the United State takes control of an American industry, goes so far as to fire the companies CEO’s, and replaces them with Obama Administration contributors. Not to mention those who invested in those companies, the Bond holders and such, who should have been first in line when it came to their position in the companies restructured finances, are considered lastly to Unions, the same Unions who are also enormous contributors to the Obama administration. In addition, what about the closing of Dealerships around the country, many of whom are known Republican contributors. Except of course the Dealership in Barney Franks district who called Democratic Senator Barney Frank after being notified that they had been targeted for closure. Barney Frank made a phone call and the Dealership was taken off the list of those dealerships that would be closed. Is this not criminal? If it isn’t, then my idea of what is lawful and what is not, is misconstrued. The example set by such actions misleads a country and sets a bad example for others, at the least.
Still, Americans do nothing, but sit back and watch and say nothing.
When the Government dished out billions to AIG, was hypocrisy at its worst. The same company that caused the financial crisis with bad polices and bad management, and government officials advocating their bailout after forcing them into their wrongful policies, and then admonishing them for doing what the government told them to do, is duplicity gone amuck.
Democratic Senator Dodd commits deliberate Insider Trading, and nothing is done. It is as if no law has been broken, no crime committed and excused as mere coincidence.
Did you hear that Obama fired an Inspector General because he was investigating an Obama supporter? Breaking the rules of engagement when it comes to firing an Inspector General, using the power of his office to dictate who can do what to whom. Inspector General Walpin was doing his job while Kevin Johnson was breaking the law, yet IG Walpin was fired and Johnson was let off the hook and promised more Taxpayer money to do with as he pleased.
America has gone mad.
Our President has such disdain for our Constitution, that he remarks about its brilliance in open speeches, while his actions and policies spit on it at every turn.
You don’t have to be a genius to realize that we can’t survive, as a nation, with actions like this going unchecked. It is human nature to push things to the limit to see just how far one can go before bumping into a wall. If there is no wall, there is no reason to stop.
Have you ever watched a child admire a flame, as an example, whose inward desire is to go and touch the flame because it’s such a pretty thing. Internally he knows, because he has, no doubt, been told, the flame is hot. But regardless he wants to touch it. So, he eases ever closer and closer. Eyeing you to see if you’re watching and eyeing the flame. If you are not paying close attention, he will make his way to the flame and fulfill his desire. The child is simply following his nature, his curious nature. What a beautiful thing, that flame, what a beautiful thing. At the moment before he touches it, he wonders, ‘what does it feel like to get burned?’
Obama is moving ever closer to the flame. The only thing is, Obama’s not a child and he’s not the only one whose going too get burned.
You don’t have to be a prophet to see what’s coming.
You just have to be willing to see.
