Loving the Verbal Beatings

Share
When I brought my dog down to Las Vegas with me, it was clear that he had been subject to inappropriate behavior. At first, he would cower if you moved too quickly, evidence that he had been beaten. What I see now in the world at large is evidence that people prefer to engage in verbal fisticuffs rather than acting on principles and THAT THEY LIKE IT.

The Obama administration has taken the lead on this. They have so filled our days and minds with so many worrisome things so as to leave us unaware of where to go to resist the enemy. He says seniors will lose healthcare, students will stay stupid, prices will rise, oceans and temperatures will rise, jobs will remain scarce, and that the days of American excellence are over. With so many maladies on the horizon, which one do you attack first?

The problem with this is that we've allowed him to verbally lash us. Americans have become the proverbial whipping boys, targeted for punishment for everything that has ever gone wrong, whether Americans, let alone humans, were ever involved at all. We didn't start slavery, industry, war, etc., but anytime we approach those asymptotes of conversation, they label us as purveyors and purponents of systems that existed far before we came along and to the lowest degree anywhere if they exist at all within our borders.

What's more frightening to me is that people think Obama cares about them. We have become like the beaten wife who, after being beaten by her husband, tells herself that he didn't mean it when he beats us, because he really loves us or that it's ok that he beat us because it will help our children. We are in a codependent relationship with government, an abusive relationship, and we like it that way. We no longer rejoice in that animating contest of freedom spoken of by Samuel Adams.

Do people really believe that load of mularky? Obama's jejune conversation is loaded with appropriately vague language, punctuated with promises, premises, and projections. You can watch some of them here:
Do we really tell ourselves while Democrats beat us with their truncheon of rhetoric that we're the problem?

This is all about fear and anxiety. Amidst that fear, he will tell us that it's dangerous to change jockey's in the middle of the race. While he does this, he blames his failure in the first leg on the horse he rode. It's our fault.

It's easier to blame someone else, because if you are the problem, the solution is to change, and change is often difficult. It always includes work, and Obama has shown himself to be the vacationer in chief more than he desires to be a true leader. Obama has brought up real concerns, not because he cares, but because he knows you do. He does not care about you. It's all talk. Don't play their game.

I know that good men are afraid. I know that you might lose something. If you don't do what is right and be what you ought, then we may all lose everything. I wonder how the Minutemen of Lexington convinced their wives that it was for the ‘greater good’. Maybe then I could encourage enough Patriots to go to the green.
