Conservative Refocus

Guardians of Liberty: Part II

In our last offering, we took a look at the differences between a Democracy and a Republic along with the basic tenets of the Democratic versus the Republican Parties.  The initial purpose being to understand what each of these connotes in the most modern and concise definitions available--being couched in the terms of where we find our country today.  When we look at the extreme overreaching of our Government, over the last several years, many often wonder "how" exactly America got to this particular point?

Think about it.  We have declared what amounted to anti-constitutional moratoriums against certain companies trying to perform the very thing that keeps them in business, we have had attack after attack by Democrat directed Government forces across a wide range of industries from Banking to Insurance to energy companies and numerous others scattered in between--even states, for Heaven's sake, to the point that we now have nearly half of all states suing the Federeal Government.  We have even had a wide range of attacks against industry professionals themselves.

These attacks range from doctors and medical professionals to news and talk show anchormen, bankers and stockbrokers. We have even had attacks on the Media itself. While the "Wizards of Wall Street" may have deserved a generous portion of negative criticism, a large proportion of those financial professionals under attack did absolutely nothing wrong, but separation via the broad brush-stroke is a normally utilized tool to the professional "Community Organizer."

Transformers III: A Glimpse of the Future

The clincher, however, was the actual takeover and nationalization of a number of banks, Freddie Mae and Fannie Mac, the student loan program, and of course automobile manufacturers. When one stops and looks at how these takeovers occurred, the most common answer is "well the Government had to."  Oh, really?  Not necessarily.  One of the major points, once again, of a Government's transformation from free-market Capitalism to Statism is, actually, the takeover by authorities of certain targeted key industries, often under the auspices of the "Greater Good."

Health Insurance Companies were initially targeted for a complete transformation to a single payer system; when that didn't work, Obama and the Democrats opted for the second best available alternative--that being--driving these companies out of business by setting up rules and regulations which would eventually snuff out the various companies' abilities to realize net operating increase over expenses.  This is already happening to many carriers, as certain parts of the healthcare law are being set into motion, and they are even now dropping out of group health coverage.

When we look at where we are today as it regards healthcare, without a large number of changes being implemented, if not actually repealing healthcare altogether, these companies will, in effect, go out of business.  This will leave the Government free to take over the entire system and then control medicine completely via the purse strings. Once this happens, you will see costs increase without any private forces available to reign them in via marketplace competitiveness itself.  As these costs increase, the Government will then begin cutting reimbursements (which has already begun).  As these reimbursements are slashed, a large number of providers will simply be unable to operate at required income levels, and you will then have many simply bailing out of the medical professions, be they doctors, special services or the myriad other such providers that exist today.  In other words, that Urgent Care Center that you have down the street from your home will shut down--never mind your doctor's office.

Physician "Heel" Thyself

In fact, there are already a significant number of doctors who refuse to accept both Medicare and Medicaid simply because the costs of treating these patients is prohibitive and the Government pays when and what the Government decides to pay.  While the Democrats and Obama might tell you that medical professionals are greedy and want too much, they invariably fail to tell you about the costs these doctors and others incur in malpractice insurance, education, and training, and the cost to acquire those personnel proficient enough to keep doctors from being sued down to their underpants. Which brings us to Tort Reform.

One thing that you will not find in the new Healthcare Law is any sort of  "actual"  Tort Reform.  Tort Reform would, in large part, address the problems which physicians have in paying their often crippling insurance premiums.  So what's the problem?  Glad you asked.  One of Obama's and the Democrats' greatest benefactors is the trial lawyers.  It would go against the trial lawyers' impressive income streams to lessen jury awards; therefore, the lawyers' various pacs donate huge sums to the Democrats in order to maintain the status quo.  So while you might hear both Obama and the Democrats giving impressive lip-service to how they care about the little man, their hands, and therefore their intent, remain in the pockets of the big men and so it has been for some time.  Change we can believe in?  Pish-posh.

Fear not, however, for the lawyer's time is at hand, as well.  You see, once healthcare is completely nationalized in just a few years, the Statists will grow impatient at the havoc in Government costs that are caused by lawyers who will be, by that point, taking extreme advantage of a medical system which will be operating within a far lesser level of proficiency than previously because of the aforementioned ravages by Government--which will result in?  You guessed it!  Large jury awards due to sub-par diagnosis and treatment.  The result will then be a rash of claims which will drive so many more providers out of business and increase Government costs to the point that severe action will be required in the form of  mitigating torts.

Sorry! I Just Torted...

So how does one mitigate torts?  Voila' --Tort Reform's time has now come. You see, once the takeover of the medical professions is completed, the Government will have hired a substantial number of medical personnel for themselves, and these personnel will be members of what Union?  Bingo!  The Service International Employees Union (SEIU).  And who is the army which Obama and the Democrats have hired to perform their thuggery all over the star spangled plain?  The SEIU.

The operative point here being SEIU members, at this point, will be required to donate lavishly to their Democratic Benefactors to a degree that the trial lawyers' money will eventually amount to less than a pittance in comparison.

At this particular juncture, many might begin to wonder how in the world did we get to this abominable point in America?  Simple.  The Daisy Chain of events outlined above contains all sorts of less distinctive but no less important variety of "Daisy Chains" fractily associated with it.  But the signatory event which caused all of this mayhem was the election of our President, Barrack Hussein Obama, during a crisis that shook the foundation of this country down to its core.  Out of America's rubble arose an individual who was not, as we can see now, what he appeared to be--at least as far as the Mainstream Media is concerned.

Out of the Sea Will Arise

The one thing that few still wish to talk about is simply the ideology of the man we now call our President. Politicians in power,  the Mainstream Media, even certain Conservatives are often afraid to discuss in public discourse  the beliefs and ideologies which have driven both Obama and the US economy into a morass of confused indications.  This fear is most likely rooted within a hesitancy to stir up the ruling elites and the media.  However, there are many others who have come out from day one and pointed to Obama's veiled history, noting that something was, indeed, amiss.

When we take a long hard look at the President and his blatantly ill-capitalistic agenda, it becomes necessary to listen carefully to the words that he utters and watch even more carefully his actions as the designated leader of the Free World.  The puzzle that is Obama has more often than not been ensnared within a Mainstream Media's effort to mitigate his stumbling efforts at appearing to be something that he clearly is not, while emphasizing those odd moments in which the President seems to be espousing views that are more center-oriented. But the one thing that those concerned among us consistently seem to note is that "this guy does not like Americans very much when you get right down to it."

In a recent speech that the President gave, once again, catering to a specific racial group, while denigrating those who weren't immediately watching, the President called those individuals who think that amnesty is not such a grand idea as "our enemies." That would be, in large part, Mr. President, a majority of the population, Sir.  So, Obama thinks that we normal Americans are enemies--at least the ones who are terribly concerned about our Country's plight and mostly disagree with his radical ideas. This doesn't really surprise most of us who have become hard-wired to the true media's reports of Obama's repeated attacks upon both us and America in general.

Righty Tighty Wing-Nuts Cry Thee

But the President did not end his diatribe there; Obama actually went on to state: "we will punish our enemies." At this point it becomes important to note that neither I, nor many of my Conservative Family, consider those  of our Countrymen who are in opposition to our beliefs as enemies.  Granted, we might view them sometimes as stupid, often imbecilic--but never enemies.  Shall we now, Mr. President, follow your lead and begin characterizing all of those on the Left as our enemies?  Most would never stoop to such a narrowly defined and nasty viewpoint, which is a recipe for mayhem.  And yet Obama refuses to call the Iranian Regime, responsible for killing American soldiers and unsettling Iraq, our enemies.

In fact, we of the vocal throng are, indeed, disturbed that the President would actually broaden his attacks from just we Constitutionally oriented right wing-nuts to the normal Americans who simply wish to go about their lives without being worried by all of this mess. Those particular Americans and their freedom to espouse what is actually a non-political view, such as amnesty, are the ones we are trying to look after--it's as simple as that. So why does the President attack even those who might only occasionally detract from his opinions?  The actual answer to this question is even more simple--while being more disturbing-than anything many could imagine.

The President's ideological leanings drift all the way back to his days of being a star pupil of left-wing radical Saul Alinsky's Community Organizing skill-set. Alinsky, who wrote the book Rules For Radicals, begins it with a near fawning appreciation of evil incarnate, literally in the form of a dedication to Lucifer himself. Alinsky actually wrote that Satan or Lucifer was the first of all radicals and won a Kingdom all his own by railing against the establishment. Not news Ladies and Gentleman.

Sourcing The Apprentice

But the question would be this, was this simply an allegory by Alinsky referring to the effectiveness of total mayhem to society, or was it something even worse?  Was Alinsky referring to Satan as his own master and laying down the foundations noting where the Devil finds his most comfortable abode--that being hell on earth in this case. Why should the fact that Alinsky's Bible for mayhem's beginning as a herald to Satan himself be consistently overlooked, if not poo-poohed, by those of the intelligentsia?

Even better, whether the final goal is a supposedly redistributionist society of strict equality or total mayhem--in what place do we find the overall subtext of the Obama administration itself in our America of today?  Please reread the first half of this article if still unsure.  Many have disingenuously described Alinsky as a leader of the non-Socialist Left, and yet many others will describe Alinsky as a Communist Guru, and yet it has been our observation of history through the ages that the Leftward is never satisfied with a particular status quo, but rather requires ever more nourishment from its "supposed" master, the people, until such time as its unwitting realization of an all-powerful central Government becomes the Master and the people become the supplicant.

Even in the early days, Obama railed at the scenes he saw all around the inner-city of Chicago, where poverty, unemployment and inequality seemed rampant, never understanding that this was but one facet of poverty in American society.  What Obama was actually seeing was a world where year upon year of  slipshod Democratic management in Chicago had taken a severe toll.  Resultantly, Chicago as with many other Metropolises, had spawned an underclass solely dependent upon a Government that had mangled the job of educating those in need of upwards and outward--actually downwards into a recombinant mess where even the hardiest of individuals would find escape velocity difficult at best. Ironically, the very thing that fed Obama's radical Leftward ideology was the very thing that actually caused the need for his social redistributive skills in the first place.

I'll Have One BLT On Wheat, Hold The Marxism

From his days as a Chicago Community Organizer, Obama,via the ultra-left Alinskey's techniques, learned a narrow vision of Blacks in America that persisted to the point of his joining the Reverend Jeremiah Wright's extraordinarily Liberal teachings of Black Liberation theology. A Religion which was originally inspired by Communists of the fifties seeking religiously contrived ways to both target and subvert third-world underclasses into a proletariat of Marxist origins. The penultimate goal of the time being to counter free-market capitalism Societies and turn them on themselves by way of "Humanistic Religions." The goals of Black Liberation Theology (BLT) in the modern world seem to be one of railing against whichever portion of the population seems to be in the majority at the time, and, of course, also to enrich and empower its ministers as with many self-serving Religions of today. One should never, ever forget that Obama frequently referred to Rev. Wright as his Mentor until he no longer could afford to.

It should also be noted that while the Rev. Wright rails at rich White people, damns America and praises Extremist Muslim Leaders, he invariably seems to leave out the product of his own brand of free-market Capitalism, that being living in a multi-million dollar gated abode, quite shamelessly, while preaching the ills of wealth and Capitalism. Sort of a Black Michael Moore, as it were. Obama, noting the problems associated by a vast majority of Americans with this mindset faithfully maintained that despite regular attendance to this Church of twenty years, he rarely heard any of the sermons which continually preached against the ideals that most Americans hold dear.

This not working very well, Obama then dutifully ejected Wright as his Mentor and rejected further visits to his church preferring Golf outings instead from what we can gather. But it was also during this 20 year period, that Obama culminated a number of radical friendships, the causitive one being ex-terrorist and now academain Bill Ayers. Ayers, was a member of the terrorist group weather underground which was a Communist group dedicated to, once again, all sorts of mayhem aimed at American values.

One Nation, Asunder God, With Poverty and Pestilence For All

But it was also during this time in Chicago that Obama honed his skills even further and connected with the Communist organizations who are one of Obama's most ardent supporters. The other part of this same equation must dutifully be the proclivity of Obama to seek out any number of Green solutions which, while originally rooted in true conservation of the planet, have over time become polluted by those of the Socialist-Marxist subset whose ultimate goal is to bring down free market Capitalism. Cap and Trade, Global warming and a large number of societal hot-buttons each are hinged on the door frame of Socialism or Globalism. One need only peruse through a number of the President's radical views as it regards coal, fossil fuels in general and the US Constitution itself to see that the world of Obama and the clueless Democrats is a world that will inevitably lead to equalized mass poverty and increasing Government Authoritarianism unless, once again, voter action is taken.

• When we look at Obama's Cabinet of advisers and czars of today, the silhouette of what many of us now think of as one of dark and foreboding points to, once again, his overall political acumen belonging starkly to a pattern cut out from an extreme left-leaning radicalism. Most of the lesser positions initially granted and even in place today, were manned by Marxists, Communists or Socialists who simply do not hold the same ideals as that of most liberty loving Americans.

• But when we look,  for instance, at Obama's attacks on the Supreme Court, we can begin to see a lord-like mentality at play in one individual who has been given powers by the people that no single other individual within this Country can match. And yet, that apparently was not enough.
• When we look at a Department Of Justice who refuses now to enforce voter descrimination charges if leveled against minorities such as in the black panther case, Obama's attempts to foster a new dependent class--that  being illegal aliens while using race as the fulcrum
• When we look at Congressman John Conyers who implored the group Democratic Socialists of America to stand behind, support and defend Obama, as the one man intent upon furthering their cause of one-world governance i.e. Globalism which is anathema to liberty
• When we see Obama addressing a group of black bloggers with a prescription of secrecy for attendees in an administration that was supposed to be based upon openness--never mind the ostracization of any other races.

It becomes plain to see a dark agenda at play that has thus far been rubber-stamped by a now considered witless Congress that the people will look to unseat. The one thing to bear in mind after seeing an America under reconstruction is simply this:

Within a Society both designed and based upon a Constitutional rule of law, the individual who could usurp such a Society and transform it into another type of Society would need to be steeped in counter-capitalism and trained in Societal transformation to a powerful degree.

That individual would also need be expert on both the US Constitution and the laws of the land and completely committed to the goal of redistributing away that which does not belong in their new world order.
