Houston, Hope and Change has Landed; and It’s Manchurian
by Colonel Bob Pappas, USMC, Retired
In 1776 Americans fought for independence from Great Britain, then again in 1812 to maintain that hard won independence and freedom. When the Confederacy broke away from the Union a devastating civil war erupted and at the end American slaves were freed in a crimson tide of blood, and expenditure of vast treasure. There were other wars, but that was the last direct challenge to freedom until the advent of the Soviet Union. From that time forward to today, there has been a constant struggle on the part of freedom loving people to maintain freedom in the face of diverse efforts by Marxists and other evil forces to undermine it around the world, and in particular, in the United States.
Upon each challenge Americans have united and prevailed, that is, until Islamic terrorists attacked the United States. At first Americans were united even against that evil, but it wasn’t long before the self loathers began a campaign to place the blame on the US rather than the ones who carried out the attack. With the passage of time, and consistent with their fundamentally hate-America attitude, the political left comprised of loony liberals and ideological Marxists turned their backs on freedom. They choose rather to tacitly support the enemy in the interest of advancing their radical leftist agenda for America. In Constitutional terms they are guilty of treason. (Nowadays one probably wonders what that, the “Constitution,” is.)
The Christian nature of mainstream American people in general gave rise to liberal politicians whose objectives were at first well intentioned and supported by the Christian ethic of charity and benevolence. Marxists, seeing an opportunity to take advantage of those traits began to infiltrate politics on both sides of the political divide for the purpose of gaining political control. Various pieces of legislation were enacted “for the people” but whose underlying intention was to expand the scope and power of politicians, in particular “liberal” (read, ideological socialist/Marxist) politicians. For too long Americans allowed the Federal Government to dominate issues and the economy; and although most politicians claimed to be against expansion of the authority of government, nearly all of them have been complicit in its expansion.
Then, the confluence of war, economic and government corruption, the economic crash of 2008, the precipitous decline of Christian ethos, the rise of America loathing politicians and the otherwise empty suited expert in teleprompter reading, glib tongue of a philosophical Marxist came together, and the “Manchurian Candidate” managed to eke out an election victory. Playing a salient role in that process was the full force of the major media that long before had been infiltrated and are now dominated by socialist/Marxist thought. The media combined forces with a major segment of the historically “left” entertainment industry and billionaire George Soros, Hungarian immigrant whose life goal has been to destroy free market America, worked together to become the infrastructure and provide resources as a virtual extension of the “Manchurian Candidate’s” election campaign.
Republican careerist politicians, more interested in their own political careers than doing what was right, played directly into Democrat hands often by being more liberal than were Democrats. (A recent example is Dede Scozzafava, of New York’s 23rd Congressional District, a so called, “Republican” who uniformly supports Obama’s policies.) In the 2008 elections voters shifted from liberal Republicans to Conservative (Blue Dog) Democrats. Unfortunately that gave ideological Marxist Democrats control over both Houses of Congress. Meanwhile conservatives, who comprise the majority in the Country were left without representation or leadership; and, the loony tunes with the Republican Party and the whackos in the media wonder why Sarah Palin has such appeal.
Realizing they could have their way (in every context) with the American people, latter day Marxists-in-Democrat clothing worked feverously with the newly elected “Manchurian,” (or is it “Indonesian,” or is it “Kenyan,”) oh, yes, “the first Pacific” President to enact legislation that was advertised to stimulate the economy but will have the effect of creating disastrous double digit inflation thereby squeezing middle Americans the more.
When asked, Obama said, “I want to spread the wealth around.” His methodology however, is aimed at destroying the strongest economy the world has ever known. Obama and his team are working overtime to replace the free market economy with virtual serfdom of which one more example is “Government run Health Care” legislation. This albatross is being railroaded through the Congress despite the wishes of the American people.
Does Obama care? Yes, of course he cares! It is his objective to “totally change America.” On top of the trillion dollar deficits he has already amassed, this would-be Messiah-of-the-poor is piling on additional trillions of future debt from which he intends for Americans to never recover; and, absent sending Obama and his “merry” Marxists packing he would succeed!
However, conservatives are the majority in this country and will not forget during the next election.
Hope and change? What Obama is rendering is Hope only for those who wish for bad things to happen to the US; and if fully consummated would be disastrous Change; but worse, evil will have triumphed without a shot being fired.
If conservatives feel uncomfortable now, wait until he tries to cram “Cap and Trade” and Amnesty for illegal immigrants down Americans’ throats! This present direction is the path to the ultimate tyranny of the minority!
The solution is in part to vote the Marxists Democrat-idiots and RINOs out; and, replace them with patriotic, conservative, nationalist Americans!
