A good article, but with one major fallacy. VDH is discussing Obama as if he were a sane, rational person, instead of an arrogant megalomaniac who, having power does not care what anyone thinks of his words or actions. Pre-election he told America that he blamed America for everything that is wrong in the world. He told America that he was going to change it into a social welfare state, e.g., the greater good, distribution of wealth, social responsibility, unselfishness, etc. All concepts that simply mean…I will take away your freedom of choice…I will take away your freedom….I will get you to cooperate with my agenda and not your own, and if you cannot be persuaded, then I will force you.
Americans who were too busy working to make a living to pay attention were dumbed down by the media and the academics into a complete misunderstanding of the terms “the greater good”, “distribution of wealth”, “social responsibility”, “equality” and “unselfishness”. These terms, while sounding virtuous and altruistic, are in fact nothing more than a means of gaining control of people, as every totalitarian state has done in the past. Obama is no different than a Bernard Madoff, a con man who has convinced far too many gullible and greedy people that they can gain prosperity by sacrificing their prosperity, and it is the prosperity that is earned that always helps far more people than any “prosperity” handed out. His sloppy and distainful “diplomatic” moves thusfar show clearly that he does not care about other countries, he does not care about Americans. When journalists write that he should consider one thing or another, they are wasting their words, because he has the power, is consolidating it more every day, and does not give a damn about what any of us think.
Brief definitions:
Greater good: The good of those in control.
Wealth distribution: stealing earned money to give to those whom the state deems “entitled”.
Social responsibility: A completely meaningless term. No one can be responsible for everyone else.
Equality: A non-existent concept, except for equal treatment under the Rule of Law. No two humans are equal.
“Unselfishness”: Giving up your self interests to help other people by sacrificing the resources you need to help them to a controlling state.
Granted these are not book definitions, but they explain why falling for Obama’s claptrap is leading us to hell.
