Theodore's World

One hundred years ago, a proven leader of men, a vibrant, virile man of decisive action who could well lead and inspire industry within people ventured to a very small town in East Kansas. 

Having been a Calvary Colonel, a Police Chief, a Navy Secretary, a New York Governor, and a Vice President he could relate well to an industrious populace of proud, productive, self-reliant Americans, patriots with the work ethic of a strapping lumberjack.  

Teddy Roosevelt drew a crowd of 30,000 to tiny Osawatomie, Kansas with one high school as he spoke proudly of the unlimited potential of industrious Americans who saw America's promise as boundless and true, drawing on a book by Herbert Croly, "The Promise of American Life".

A century later, what have we now but a President who draws but a mere crowd of 1,200 at the very same Osawatomie, Kansas to hear him speak of his own perceived limits on modern American life, and of his view of American despair.  

A President of such protracted ineffectiveness who will say anything not to lead, a community organizer that rallies popular resentment on industrious folk that earn what they have and save, and wallows in sloth and his own perceived inequality and unfairness in all of American life drawing on the basest of human emotions inciting class envy with authority desperately seeking re-eleciton having no record to run on.  

What have we but an untried, inexperienced President in pampers within an empty suit with an increasingly desolate voice of folly who can better relate to an effete interior decorator with his own soft creed of mollycoddle, sloth, and deceit.  

A President who sees the federal government on a street corner handing out a $1,000 every second and thinks the line will someday get shorter.

Ben Franklin once said, "House guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days".

To diminishing crowds, this President repeats a shallow spineless collectivist rhetoric of mendacity that after nearly three years has gone stale, rancid and whose voice will soon fade out with little more than a whimper cast high upon the heap of collectivism compost and its long historic failures from time immemorial.

Carlos...excellent! 100 years ago you just didn't hop in your car and venture down paved roads and interstates to get to Osawatomie. They came by horse on dirt roads...30,000 of them. Today, only a paltry 1200 show up for the Jug-Eared Jackass.

What does Obama think built this nation into the greatest on Earth in a mere 200 years? Capitalism and rugged individualism is what did it.

So far Obama has managed to channel Lincoln, FDR, Reagan, and now Teddy Roosevelt.

Blatant Marxism thrown straight in our faces by a man full of his self perceived greatness. obama is a divider, not a uniter. He should talk to Fidel Castro who has stated that Marxist socialism has been a failed experiment in Cuba.

A subtle observation - I have seen Bill Clinton several times in company with either or both Presidents Bush. I have never seen Clinton in company with obama. Could it be that even the amoral Bill Clinton cannot stand obama? Very telling!

Carlos, I hope you don't mind but I'm going to blog your comment above. Of course, you'll get credit for it and referenced back to this post. Thanks in advance.

Seasons' greetings, BobF.

You're welcome. Spread the word, the true American story.

It needs to be told again and again, now more than ever.

Just share with us where you post.

The next 11 months are going to get ugly, real ugly.

Somehow we just don't seem to learn from history:

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.

He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.

A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

Cicero, Rome, 50 BC.

Carlos, you'll be able to see the post on Thursday at the following link. The blog belongs to Vilmar and he graciously allows me to post there.

Carlos, that was fantastic thank you so much.

I agree Bob, I am glad you shared it.

Tom, I agree, about Obama and a talk to Fidel Castro.
