Never, prior to the age of Obama, would any state or
local government have suggested that men should have a right to enter a women’s
restroom. But under the president who promised to “fundamentally transform
America” it’s come true.
Why is it that Hillary, whose husband signed DOMA into
law in 1996, is now in favor of same-sex marriage? Why did Obama change his
mind on homosexual marriage and begin the push for it after rejecting it prior
to the last two presidential elections? Why did Bruce Springsteen, only now and
not ten years ago, get all uppity and insist that men should invade a woman’s
private restroom area? Why has Obama opened up our borders to all comers when
in the past a secure border was not only important to keeping the public safe
but absolutely defined a functioning nation?
Why has this nation, which has been so successful over
the past 200-plus years at being wealthy and secure, at creating jobs and
allowing people to achieve their goals and achieve personal success, now have
politicians claiming that jobs should have a minimum pay; taxes should be even
higher than they are; that government should issue masses of regulations
restricting how people behave on their own land; that every person should be
promised a cell phone; that every citizen of every nation has a right to live
in America illegally; that everyone should have a right to internet access but
be denied the right to own a gun; and that the government should pay for every
citizen’s college education? These deviant ideas were held at bay by politicians
who understood right from wrong and good from bad, but we are now seeing
politicians who are fighting each other for the absolute power that Obama has
defined via an increasingly big and intrusive government, and they are
competing, Republicans and Democrats alike, for the votes of deviant leftists
who have banded together and made their voices violently heard at anti-Trump
rallies, at hands-up-don’t–shoot and black-lives-matter protests and any of the
“occupy” movements.
Just as socialism has always been off-limits to
Americans because it’s been a failure everywhere it’s been tried, higher
taxation was always understood to be contrary to American citizens’ economic
fortunes. The president not abiding by duly passed laws and dis-obeying the
constitution were not even considered by any former sitting president. And
weakening our national borders was contrary to logic. But under Obama and his
aggressive anti-American policies these formerly verboten ideas are now common
practice. Socialism, high taxes, and denial of laws and the constitution, have
already begun to be the destruction of America’s promise for personal
achievement and happiness on the part of each citizen.
Prior to the Republican and Democrat rush to satisfy
the whining demand of leftists for goodies, the American dream was intact. But
with both parties responding to the deviant ideas that are contrary to common sense,
public safety and achievement, just to maintain the party leaders’ personal
power and influence, this leftward drift will end badly for all Americans, and
the larger world that depends on America’s power and influence.
A nation that has gone from legally welcoming refugees
who shed tears at the sight of the Statue of Liberty, to one where illegal
aliens casually traipse across our border, scorn our flag, deny our language, ignore
our modes of conduct and demand welfare and free healthcare upon arrival, is a
nation at great risk to its own existence. Our national micro-insanity is firmly
established and we’d better relearn old lessons of government and personal deportment
or we’re lost.
