PLATITUDES,
CATCH-PHRASES AND SLOGANS
Hope and change...that was
the launch for the president's foray into the race for the White House. He was a cool dude and, according to Harry
Reid, didn't speak with a dialect. Yes
we can...that was another cliche trotted out for the masses, and they ate it up
like it was an ice cream sundae. Here
was a guy who was bound to fundamentally change America, but gave no indication of
what he was changing it into...but we know now, don't we? Forward he said, like the Bolsheviks he so
resembles, he all but recited the Communist Manifesto, but he put it into
operation. If you've never heard of Saul
Alinsky, or Cloward and Piven, you're missing out on some really radical
ideas. As a matter of fact, Alinsky
wrote a book called RULES FOR RADICALS.
The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by
American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox
Piven that called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to
precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system
with a national system of "a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to
poverty".
A guaranteed annual income?
Someone else is going to determine how much money you can make? Who would that person be, you might ask? My guess is that it would be a governmental
agency that would oversee the money that you make. Somehow that doesn't sound like a free
society to me, but Americans have been ceding their freedom to the federal
government one little bite at a time...so the ignorant don't notice...and they
haven't. Perhaps, once you've reached
your guaranteed annual income, you could sit back and relax, huh? No, I don't think so. In all likelihood, if you managed to make
more than you were supposed to, the government would take that excess and give
it to someone else. By golly, that
sounds like communism to me, or at the very least, socialism. The two stated that many Americans who were
eligible for welfare were not receiving benefits, and that a welfare enrollment
drive would strain local budgets, precipitating a crisis at the state and local
levels that would be a wake-up call for the federal government, particularly
the Democratic Party. There would also be side consequences of this strategy,
according to Cloward and Piven. These would include: easing the plight of the
poor in the short-term (through their participation in the welfare system);
shoring up support for the national Democratic Party-then splintered by
pluralistic interests (through its cultivation of poor and minority
constituencies by implementing a national "solution" to poverty); and
relieving local governments of the financially and politically onerous burdens
of public welfare (through a national "solution" to poverty)
Another catch-phrase used by the president was that one
about how, if you liked your doctor, you could keep him/her. He also said the same thing about your
healthcare program. Both, as we now
know, turned out to be lies, as was the one about every family will save about
$2,500 a year on their insurance.
Then there was the speech
back in 2009 when he said his administration was going to clean up the VA mess,
and in that same year he said he was going to take responsibility for the AIG
executives getting big bonuses while they took
173 billion in bailout
money. He always has a neat little
catch-phrase handy when the occasion demands it but it’s lip-service and only
lip-service because nothing gets done, nobody gets fired, no scandals get
cleaned up. In February of that same
year he said that he would be a one-term president if the economy did not
recover in three years.
It’s 6 years, the economy is in the toilet and he’s still
on the job! There’s a man that, when his
lips are moving, you know he’s lying. No
matter the subject, he’s got a little slogan for it, and the low-information
folks lap it up like it’s honey.
The man is an incompetent,
feckless, spineless, puppet and he needs to do the honorable thing and
resign. He promises to fix things that,
for the most part, he screwed up…that would be the economy, our military, foreign
relations, border security and the list goes on and on. Maybe, the most telling phrase was recently
uttered by our wannabe king, when he said that he’ll go it alone because
Congress wouldn’t act on the children-at-the-border immigration problem. There was the time when Obama promised,
"This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our
planet began to heal." Only a deranged environmental wacko and duped
people could believe that a non-god can change ocean depths. Go home, Barack…wherever that might be…go home
and leave the American people alone. Do
not pass go, do not collect 2 billion dollars, and make sure you don’t fly Air
Force One on your way out, either.
