SAVE THE PLANET…FROM BARACK OBAMA

Watching Barack Obama in action at the Paris conference on the phenomenon formerly known as global warming, I have a thought about saving the planet. The planet must be saved from Barack Obama. The man has done enormous damage. We will be living with the consequences for a long time. Living, if we are lucky and if the next president undoes some of the damage he has done. The man is an ideologue as impervious to experience as the worst men who ever lived.

Obama threw our hard-won victory in Iraq to prove a point.

Obama has empowered the mad mullahs of the Islamic Republic of Iran. He gives new meaning to the concept of “signing bonus,” providing for Iran’s recovery of $100B for its profession of good intentions for a period of years — no signing necessary! Michael Doran explicated Obama’s deep thoughts in the Mosaic essay “Obama’s secret Iran strategy.” The mullahs have repaid Obama’s good deeds for the Islamic Republic of Iran with almost shocking contempt. They have his number.

Obama has empowered Vladimir Putin, as Doran also explains in his current Mosaic essay“Our man in Moscow.” Obama has turned over America’s Middle East policy to Putin. Why would he do that?

The estimable Walter Russell Mead lays responsibility for the Syrian refugee crisis at Obama’s feet in the important American Interest column “President Obama’s cynical refugee ploy.”

All the while, China has been conducting offensive operations against the United States in cyberspace and extending its reach through the creation of artificial islands in the South China Sea. Even the New York Times has taken note.

If they have not taken it already, Obama’s actions and inactions portend an enormous human toll with adverse environmental consequences thrown in for good measure. Yet Obama is in Cloud Cuckooland (White House transcript here, video below) talking about imaginary catastrophes in a far-off future:

The reason is because [sic] this one trend — climate change — affects all trends. If we let the world keep warming as fast as it is, and sea levels rising as fast as they are, and weather patterns keep shifting in more unexpected ways — then before long, we are going to have to devote more and more and more of our economic and military resources not to growing opportunity for our people, but to adapting to the various consequences of a changing planet. This is an economic and security imperative that we have to tackle now. And great nations can handle a lot at once.

Obama takes his cue from Book 3 of Gulliver’s Travels, devoting himself to undoing what the scientists of Laputa sought to do. The scientist of Laputa sought to extract sunbeams from cucumbers. Obama would force sunbeams back into the cucumber — to mitigate the phenomenon formerly known as global warming. Swift! thou shouldst be living at this hour. But this might be beyond the powers of the greatest satirist ever to write in English:

You go down to Miami, and when it’s flooding at high tide on a sunny day fish are swimming through the middle of the streets.

Well, okay.

Asked about the shootings in Colorado Springs last week, Obama said this:

I say this every time we’ve got one of these mass shootings: This just doesn’t happen in other countries.

Charles Hurt comments: “He actually said this. In Paris. Not three weeks after gunmen mowed down 129 people enjoying freedom in the French capital.”

I say: Save the planet…from Barack Obama!

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton Are Not ‘Winning’ Even if They Think They Are

I feel bad for Charlie Sheen. Despite his reckless behavior, I wouldn’t wish bad health or a deadly disease on anyone. But it is interesting to remember that not too long ago Charlie Sheen’s catch-phrase was “WINNING!” That didn’t turn out so well, did it?

What appeared to be “winning” was actually losing. When you’re in a mental haze, either due to mentally illness, or your mind is shrouded by the fog of drugs and alcohol, things aren’t what they appear to be.

I’m been giving a lot of thought to what President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and leading Democrats are doing and saying. Some conservatives have compared liberalism to mental illness. Just like Charlie Sheen, Democrats think they are winning. But they are suffering from delusion. They may be headed for a similar rude awakening.

Hillary’s husband Bill was elected twice by hiding his true liberal views and trying to appear like a moderate Southern Democrat. Obama was elected twice by hiding his true ultra-liberal views and trying to appear as a moderate and “a uniter, not divider.” Today those lessons are lost or forgotten.

Today virtually every position taken by Obama and Hillary, is in direct opposition to the wishes of the majority of American people. That’s not my opinion. Just look at the polls on each issue. The views and policies spewed and supported by Obama and Hillary are getting more and more extreme. America may be a center right nation, or perhaps at times dead center. But one thing it’s not is extreme radical left.

Yet Obama, Hillary and leading Democrats aren’t even attempting to hide or moderate their views anymore. They are out of the closet. It’s the “Full Monty.” There’s no hiding it anymore. They are loud, proud and extreme left. Democrats can’t even see “center” from their homes anymore.

Here are 15 key points and policies where Obama and Hillary and their socialist cabal think they are “winning” but are actually badly out of step with the America people:

1) Obama’s refusal to halt or even pause the importation of Syrian/Muslim Refugees after the Islamic State attack on Paris.

Polls show American voters are overwhelmingly against Obama.

2) Obama’s refusal to not only enforce “illegal’ immigration laws, but even more extreme – his use of Executive Action to legalize millions, without bothering to get the approval of Congress.

Polls show American voters are solidly against Obama.

3) Obama’s refusal to admit “terrorism” is tied to “radical Islam.” He won’t even say the two words in the same sentence.

Polls show American voters are solidly against Obama.

4) Obama’s refusal to come up with a consistent, well-thought out strategy to combat Islamic State.

Polls show American voters are solidly against Obama.

5) Obama’s refusal to admit Obamacare is a disaster that has killed jobs; damaged small business; stunted GDP growth; bankrupted state health insurance exchanges; and is bleeding middle class Americans to death with dramatically higher premiums, deductibles and co-pays. No matter how much the media tries to cover-up, they can’t hide the truth from voters- because the truth is in our monthly healthcare bills.

Polls show American voters are solidly against Obamacare.

6) Obama’s refusal to drop his obsession with “climate change” and “global warming” even though polls show a large majority of Americans don’t rate it as important.

7) Obama’s refusal to reject the radical “Black Lives Matter” movement and his clear distaste and lack of respect for America’s law enforcement.

Polls show American voters are solidly against Obama.

8) Obama’s refusal to come up with a realistic budget and any semblance of a plan to solve our current economic misery and malaise- ranging from only part-time job created, to the worst workforce participation rate in modern history, to terrible retail sales, to terrible manufacturing numbers, to the worst GDP numbers in the history of America (seven straight years under 3 percent GDP growth for the first time ever).

Polls show American voters solidly disapprove of Obama’s handling of the economy.

9) Obama’s refusal to admit that the jobs and inflation numbers released by government are pure theatre and fraud. The people know “the books are cooked.” Just like with Obamacare, the people know what they hear in the media is a total scam because they know there are no decent full-time jobs and everything they buy costs far more than seven years ago.

10) Obama’s refusal to admit that “Gun Control” is not the answer to violence on our streets. Americans aren’t stupid. They know that Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the country and the most violence on it’s streets- with as many as 50 shot and 20 killed on some weekends. That could be why each time Obama talks about the need for gun control, Americans go out and buy record quantities of guns.

Polls show American voters solidly against Obama (and the highest support for the 2nd Amendment in 25 years).

11) Obama’s refusal to admit that his foreign policies have failed miserably, including his support for “the Arab Spring”…his helplessness to stop or slow Putin…and his infamous “Red Line in the Sand” threat towards Syria’s Assad regime.

Polls show American voters solidly against Obama.

12) More specifically American voters are overwhelmingly against Obama’s Iran Treaty.

13) Obama’s rejection of the Keystone Pipeline to please his radical environmental supporters- despite his own State Department admitting it posed no environmental impact.

Polls show American voters solidly against Obama.

14) Obama’s refusal to allow the prosecution of Lois Lerner, or to even punish in any way the illegal actions of IRS employees who clearly chose to target and persecute conservative groups and critics of the President. Forget punishment. The IRS employees involved received BONUSES.

Polls show American voters solidly against Obama.

15) Obama’s continued obstruction of Congress, completely ignoring the Founding Fathers’ desire for checks and balances on government.

Polls show American voters solidly against Obama’s overreach.

Amazingly, Hillary is not only on board with Obama’s agenda, in many instances she wants to go further to the left (with spending, illegal immigration, importation of Syrian refugees, and gun control). These views run clearly counter to the majority of Americans…and yet Democrats no longer care.

Democrats are fooling themselves. Republican landslides in virtually every race in both November 2014 and just this past November 2015 are signs of the displeasure and anger. It’s only the tip of the iceberg.

In reaction to this indifference, Obama has turned the vast majority of America almost completely red on a local basis. In seven years under President Obama, Democrats have lost an unheard of 900+ state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, and 13 Senate seats.

The so-called “Silent Majority” has been awakened and they’re focused and motivated like never before to save America for their children and grandchildren. They will also show up and vote in 2016 like never before. Because they understand this indifference to the wishes of the American people must be punished like never before.

Charlie Sheen was never winning. It only looked that way in his foggy, delusional state. Obama, Hillary and their socialist cabal aren’t winning either. It may look like it to them right now. But this isn’t even close to winning. It is pure madness.
