Obama’s Broken Promises – Will He Fool Us Again?

October 15, 2012 10:10


He lied to us about Obamacare. You can’t keep your health plan or your doctor and costs are higher not lower. He lied about the stimulus. It turned into a slush fund for campaign contributors and did not lower unemployment. He lied about jobs. His policies have actually destroyed jobs instead of creating them. He lied about transparency. His administration illegally uses private email accounts to avoid disclosure. He meets with lobbyists outside the White House so that he doesn’t have to disclose the meetings. He used executive privilege to hide documents involving the murderous gun scandal pushed to support gun bans without congress. He lied about changing Washington. There is a greater partisan divide than ever. He recently admitted he hasn’t changed anything. In fact he has made things worse. He lied about healing race relations. His policies and campaign rhetoric have increased racism. Hope and change has become attack and envy. He lied about reducing the deficit. Instead he has had record trillion dollar plus deficits every four years accumulating more new national debt than all previous presidents combined. The only promise he kept was to bankrupt the coal industry and make electric rates “skyrocket.”

Consider his accomplishments from “First Socialist President and Other Historic Accomplishments of Obama” on our site:

 

By Dr. Robert Owens

 

Ronald Reagan taught us, “How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.”

 

Barack Obama’s mentor as a young man was communist party member Frank Marshall Davis.  As a community organizer he was a follower and promoter of the communist fellow-traveler Saul Alinsky’s methods and goals.  As a professional in Hyde Park he associated with socialist radicals such as Bill Ayers.  As an up-and-coming Chicago Politician he attended the church of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, an outspoken proponent of the socialist Black Liberation Theology. As president he appointed communist Van Jones to be one of his many Czars.  Mr. Obama says he is not a socialist.  However, simple logic tells us if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck you can be relatively certain it’s a duck.

 

Mr. Obama has told us that he seeks to be a transformational president like his idol FDR.  He was bold enough to tell us just days before the election in 2008 that he would fundamentally transform America.  In just one term he has accomplished much along the way to changing us from what we have always been into what the Progressives have always wanted us to be.

How has Barak Obama transformed us?  Into what is he transforming us?  A look at his impressive *list of firsts as president of these United States points in the direction he is herding us:

 

Mr. Obama is leading us from being the first among nations to being just another vote in the United Nations.  Now there’s a level playing field for you.  And now it’s time for another election, some say our most important, some say perhaps our last.

In many ways this election cycle is refreshing.  For generations the Progressives have pretended to be something they are not to win elections.  They have pretended to be dedicated to the American dream of personal liberty, economic freedom and the belief that America was different from other nations, that as the world’s first and most enduring modern experiment in a republic based on limited government we were exceptional.  Although the policies of the Progressives have always been at odds with this assumed identity at least every election cycle they would tip their hat to the America of our fathers and portray themselves as a Thomas Jefferson or an Andrew Jackson.

Therefore, 2012 is shaping up to be the election where the Progressives cast aside their mask and run as who they are: the American version of socialism promising to tax the rich and spread the wealth around, from each according to their ability to each according to their need.

If Mr. Obama wins re-election on this platform the Progressives will finally have their chance to give Americans the same kind of cradle-to-grave utopia the happy people of Russia, China, North Korea, and Hitler’s Germany have had the fortune to endure.  If Mr. Obama wins re-election espousing the true intentions of the Progressives, to change the constitution from a rock solid foundation for freedom into a living document that is a dead letter, he will succeed at his vow to fundamentally transform America.

He will fundamentally transform the dreams of our fathers for a land of liberty and opportunity into the dreams of his father who was a pro-communist social engineer and America will become just another country trying to build heaven on earth by plundering some to benefit others.

 

As to his  utopian beliefs and aspirations President Obama has said, “I am confident we can create a Kingdom right here on Earth”

 

President Reagan also told us, “Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don’t need it, and hell where they already have it.”

 

*Lists of Mr. Obama’s firsts are found numerous places.  The sources referenced for each first are merely representative of the many available for each.
