Mad At Obama

The left is mad at BO. They have been mad for a while, but now they are daring to express their anger. He has not given them what they wanted. (And I am not only talking about Democrats here. The left I refer to here also includes the Republican establishment. Since BO seems to have failed, the Republican establishment is panicking and pleading for some establishment candidate to run, someone like Christie. It seems obvious that Romney, Perry and other establishment candidates cannot cut it. So the Republican establishment is furiously looking for someone who can continue this trek. So, the Republican establishment won't even give a look to Cain, Palin, Bachman just like they would not even give a chance to J C Watts and others like him.)

Rush claims that BO has given the left, the progressives what they wanted and more. And when you think about it, he has given them a lot.

But he has made them look bad. Look at the polls. Look at election 2010 and the possibilities of 2012. It does look like the country is turning against the left, against socialism, against statism, against nanny government. It seems quite evident that the majority of the country is turning against the government providing everything for them all the time. What the country is discovering is that the government is not god. The majority of the country is turning against the government because it has not provided solutions to all their problems. The majority of the country is becoming disaffected by the government because it has not given them, the people, a utopia. BO has made socialism look like an utter failure. The left, the socialists, the statists, the supporters of a nanny government are mad. And they are mad because they are scared. "What will happen to us, if we cannot get socialism/nazism/statism/nanny government to work?" They honestly have no answer to that question. "If this does not work, then the future is very bleak; in fact, it becomes a black hole swallowing everything up, including us." So their anger is just the back side of panic and fear. If a person does not know what is causing all the pain and suffering, then that person will strike out at anything close at hand. Guess what/who is close at hand! BO!!

But what did they expect? BO is not god, even though originally they may have thought he was and they treated him like he was. The lame street media is turning on him. But what did they expect?

They expected utopia. They wanted him to set up the granddaddy of all nanny governments and to make it look, smell and taste so good that all the people would fall right into step and everyone would be happy ever after. Sounds like a fairy tale, doesn't it?

You know what! It is a fairy tale. We cannot have utopia on this earth. It shall not happen. BO did not realize this when he started this trek. He honestly thought he could transform America to create a utopia in this world.

What he did not do was read history, even recent history. Why did the Berlin wall fall? Was it because President Reagan was so tough and strong? Not really. He was tough and strong and a very good president (not a perfect one, but a good one). What caused the Berlin wall to fall, what will cause nazism, fascism, and now "progressivism" to fall is that all these philosophies are mortally defective. They have their own destruction planted right in their seed. The mortal defect is that such utopia is impossible. It is a pipe dream. It will collapse under its own weight.

In a way, I feel sorry for BO. He was led on by many who used him to try to accomplish their goals and when he ultimately fails, as he will because of the mortal defect of his philosophy, he will be their fall guy. He was set up by those who supported him. Some who originally supported him are now saying: "I guess he was not ready for the job." Others are saying he compromises way too much, that he just does not have the guts it takes to be a statist, socialist, nazi, fascist president. Whatever! He just did not get the job done.

The problem is that not even Hitler, Stalin, Tsetung, Castro, FDR, Mussolini, Woodrow Wilson, etc. could get it done. Why not? It was because progressivism has a mortal defect: it cannot happen. And when it does not happen, the nazis, fascists, socialists, progressives look for someone to blame. And guess what? They blame the person they has placed their hopes on. It certainly looks like BO is going to get thrown under the bus. I can't imagine what he is feeling now. He started with such "great possibilities" and look at where he may end up: run over by the bus driven by his very own supporters.

So now those very BO supporters are seriously suggesting we cancel elections for 2012. Why? Well, they are fearful that 2012 will make 2010 look like a spilled glass of water compared to a tsunami. They are scared, terrified. They are trying to stop what they see as a disaster.

What a bunch of fools! What they don't realize is that EVEN if they could cancel the 2012 elections, that would not help their cause. Their cause has a mortal defect, certain failure. That is what happens to utopia in this world. And if such a drastic move, like canceling the elections, should ever happen, it would cause even more torture and turmoil for them than they already have, because what they want to happen cannot happen. It is impossible; it is utopia.

And it would not have helped to have Hilary Clinton or John McCain as president. It will not help to have a Romney or Perry or Christie as president. All that would mean is that the death of the movement would much slower and more painful. More people would have suffered a very slow agonizing death of the dream of utopia. And then despair would still have set in just like it appears to be setting in now.

But they are stubborn, if nothing else. In the face of certain defeat, in the face of utter failure, in the face of severe pain, emotional and even physical, they just keep ploughing on, even suggesting the cancellation of the obvious, failure of their philosophy, by canceling the 2012 elections or maybe even canceling 2012 altogether. Or maybe we should cancel life. After all, if utopia cannot happen, then life just leads to a black hole that swallows everything and everyone up---utter destruction.

This is sad. It is so sad to see BO in such pain. It is sad to see the socialist progressives in such pain. But what is even worse is the pain they cause everyone else, people who just want to live their lives and provide for their families and be left alone. NO, these progressives cannot leave people alone because that would be admitting their philosophy, political structure is a failure. So, even if it causes people on the sidelines pain, these progressives must press on. Yes, they are doubled over in pain, they have been severely, mortally wounded. That is bad enough in itself, but they are causing the same kind of pain for those who stand on the sidelines watching this tortuous struggle.

So what needs to be done? What can we do to end this struggle?

NOTHING! No matter what we do, it will play itself out. All we can do is triage whoever is willing to be triaged and work to soothe the pain and suffering. We cannot prevent the struggle. Even trying to prevent the struggle is a form of utopia. What our job must be is to soothe the pain and suffering as best as we can.
