IT’S PRISM TIME IN THE REIGN OF CAESAR OBAMUS

 

"When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny."
— Thomas Jefferson

The shelf life of politicians is getting shorter.  It used to be the third term that proved to be the temporal venue where the citizens grew weary of the dearth of new ideas or at least ideas that made no sense.  Time has a way also of orchestrating the unwilling downfall of those who have come to believe that a public life is  the only life for them.  Longevity in the public eye  makes many believe that the genius of their resistance to defeat has somehow imbued them with a majesty that exists only in their own minds.

 

Obama is starting to feel the pangs of normal politics as well he should since the cascade of appalling scandals on his watch would have long ago retired a normal politico to either obscurity or prison.  But our Obama is no normal politician.  Part myth and part illusion ( or delusion) he has ascended Olympus on terms negotiated with  the voters that establish him as the father figure for the country and not its leader.

He, and too a certain degree his messengers, have decided that no problem, issue, scandal or outrage is either their fault or theirs to manage and resolve.  Far too many people are willing to give him and them a pass on this due to the fact that the government Obama runs has become enormously bloated and more complex largely due to him.  These same people then reason that since in their opinion he means well,  one cannot expect him to be responsible when things break.

 

The list of scandals run from the IRS to the EPA.  They will be known historically as the alphabet scandals since with each passing day they seem to encompass another government agency.  Taken all together up to this date they are the NSAIRSDOJATFSOSEPAFBICIADOEDOLOSHAPRISMDODNLRBDHHSPPACA scandals or  more accurately and succinctly the POTUS scandals.

 

All roads lead to Obama in this crisis regardless of what MSNBC or CNN try to peddle. He has been the relentless “progressive warrior” determined to fundamentally transform the country into something it was never intended to be and he did not give a damn about how much he broke in the process.  His fanatical belief that the Constitution is deficient and therefore wrong because it did not guarantee equality of outcome has been his touchstone.  He has also been the relentless “class” warrior never missing an opportunity to divide and conquer with rhetoric while  using tax payer funded technology as his sword and a growing clueless electorate as his shield.

 

He succeeded in getting the slackers to vote where others had failed because he understood almost alone among modern day politicians, how little people know about their history, their government and their economy and with that deficiency of knowledge how little they cared.
He also gave them and all the other wings of the Obama coalition free things which in ancient times were bread and circuses.

 

This group coupled with so called “minority” voters who have been convinced that the aristocratic Obama and the wealthy left that are his court, are the only ones who care about people like them.  Obama, never a product of the Civil Rights movement has nevertheless managed to reignite racialism by doing everything he can to create the sorrowful economic conditions that negatively affect blacks and Latinos the most. 

His economics, beginning with “Obamacare” as the linchpin of his transformative agenda has prevented an economic recovery for the entire country in the true sense of the word and therein created  a new class of dependents that most states can’t afford to feed and shelter so by default they become the wards of the ever growing Federal state. 

With his reelection which almost failed he felt empowered to move recklessly and arrogantly knowing that “big” media would protect him until he bit the very pets he was feeding and they turned on him. 

Benghazi, DoJ and the IRS then led to revelation after revelation about how corrupt, arrogant and unlawful government has become under this President.  Comparisons to Nixon have become grossly unfair to Nixon…but then most of the Obama electorate doesn’t know who Nixon was.

 

This has become not an administration but a regime and it threatens the survival of the country as we have known it.  It is determined to leave in its wake a monstrous database that tells the government everything  about everyone.  George Orwell are you listening?  This is what Grendel was to Beowulf providing that we remember how to fight monsters at all.  This Frankenstein data base will be used by evil men and women for evil ends.  I know this because it is the nature of men to tempt the Gods and make common cause with monsters.  This one’s name is PRISIM and we are all technically within its claws.  Others wait in the wings or are on their way.  

Will Obama survive this  is now not the question.  The question is will the country survive and how?
