LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE


This often-repeated childhood statement takes on a more important significance when major life-altering changes are thrust upon us in a seemingly undesigning manner that makes them difficult to recognize. Carefully disguised aims can cause great harm.

Up to now, most of us have shown restraint in writing our observations and opinions of the man elected in November 2008 to be President of the United States. He began his time in office by starting fast to carry out his campaign promises. The first thing he did was to announce the closing of Guantanamo Bay terrorist prison in Cuba. He intended to do that regardless of no planning of where to transfer the prisoners and apparently only to satisfy a vague promise to the many liberal critics of the Bush Administration without forethought to the potential detrimental effects to the security of this country.

Obama next allowed his Left-wing Democrat machine to create a 1000+-page “Stimulus” bill, and he insisted that it be passed immediately without time to read it by either party (including himself), let alone debate it. Its cost is over $875 billion and was touted as stimulating the declining economy plus holding unemployment to 8%. It was dutifully passed by his majority-party Congress with no Republican votes. (So much for bipartisan cooperation!) Definitely it has not had the announced effect he promised; unemployment is 9.5% for the country but much higher in some parts. And the country is languishing in a more and more recognized and apparently planned recession.

Next big expenditure was a huge budget that increases the national debt to over one trillion dollars, and all this in less than six months. Obama insisted that we didn’t have a moment to waste. Being in a hurry allows for no scrutiny.

The unprecedented push to pass a nationalized health care plan in spite of the great groundswell of public opposition is egregious. Obama’s almost daily public speeches to press this legislation contain complete and utter lies. His hollow but middle-of-the-road sounding utterances are now being exposed and disbelieved by ever-enlarging numbers of citizens who were originally hood-winked into voting for this now obviously radical socialist ideologue. He has lied so eloquently that few have been able until now to see through his smooth-sounding rhetoric. Barack promised no tax increases, but, “It’s looking more and more like Mr. Obama’s no-middle-class-tax pledge was one of the greatest confidence tricks in American political history.” [Ref.: WSJ, Teeing up The Middle Class, Aug. 4, 2009, p 12]

Add to this suppression the potentially horrendous taxation in the name of “Cap and Trade” designed to take away our life’s earnings for a politically infamous and scurrilous excuse to limit the creation of industrial carbon dioxide (CO2). This is unconscionable. It is based on proven false premises, but it is being pushed on “scientific” claims, yet simply does not hold up on rational grounds.

Exposing these actions to the light of true information leads me (and, I believe, a large percentage of us) to the conclusion that dishonorable and treacherous intent is being imposed upon a believing and unsuspecting people to achieve political power.

Until now, out of traditional respect for a US President, I have refrained from calling him what this man has convinced me that he is.  Without hesitation now I am convinced that he is an unapologetic, abject liar! His actions are totally different from the good-sounding promises he makes and has made. 

Along with Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama was a student and follower of Saul Alinsky, a Marxist grassroots organizer in Chicago. Alinsky’s ultimate rule was that the ends justify the means. His goal was to get power any way one can, including lying, cheating and stealing. Does that describe Mr. O.?

The mechanism of lying to achieve ignoble ends is not new, yet few politicians have taken the art of subterfuge to the degree demonstrated by B. Obama. Those of his contingency who still want to believe him must understand well that to present the truth about the socialist agenda would result in its almost certain defeat. However, Obama’s apologists and propagandists understand what Hitler’s propagandist, Joseph Goebbels, understood. That is, repeat a lie often enough and people will believe it.

I do not consider him to be the president of all the people. He isn’t even the president of the 52% of voters who put him in office, but he “won.” His collectivist program will enslave and impoverish all citizens who have believed in freedom of speech, individual and responsible decisions, and the free pursuit of happiness. Ludwig von Mises wrote, “All efforts to realize Socialism lead only to the destruction of society.”

In the light of the fundamentals of freedom and free-exchange capitalism, this elected spokesman for the radical left-wing socialist Democrats aims to “change” this country by using the language of conservatism into a timid, economically weakened structure that will be ruled by socialist elites and expose it to the rogue interests of sworn enemies. When the liberty of our life’s existence is threatened, it is most important to recognize it in order to defend ourselves.

God-fearing and God-respecting men built this great country with courage and determination. If not opposed, Godless, secular and property-destroying men (and women) may succeed in ruling over this great country and subjugating it by any means they can assemble.
