Americans reelected President Barack Obama on November 6th for four more years, giving so-called “mandate” to unconstitutional war, an expanding secret drone program, codification of indefinite detention, and widespread government secrecy.
In fact, the mandate for those policies was far greater than Obama’s side of the vote count. GOP contender Mitt Romney agreed with Obama on virtually every foreign policy and national security issue, from Iran to Syria, Israel to Egypt, the drug war to Afghanistan, and the pivot to Asia-Pacific.
Where voters saw a difference in this election was with regard to economic policies. The electorate was split over whether Obama or Romney was better equipped to magically create jobs via government coercion.
US foreign policy, though, would have stayed the same regardless of which candidate won the election. Romney offered no alternative to Executive-ordered war without congressional approval; no alternative to an expanding and illegal drone war; no alternative to a federal government that spends upwards of $11 billion just keeping secrets from the American public; no alternative to sanctioning Iran for a nuclear weapons program US intelligence admits Tehran doesn’t have; no alternative to the warfare-welfare-corporatist state.
The bad news-Obama won. The good news-Romney lost.
I don't like Obama, but there is one advantage in having him in the White House. None of the economic problems that became manifest in the 2008/2009 crisis have been solved. it is inevitable that these problems will come back on us with a vengeance and soon. With Obama in the White House, it will be impossible for liberals to shift the blame to others as they have done so successfully in the past. They will have to sit there and take it. It will be the end of the Democratic Party. The Republican Party may survive if the big government Republicans get kicked out and people like Ron Paul take it over.
Chris, you don't seem to have a firm grasp of the dynamics of the Obama constituency.
The vast majority of minorities will vote for the candidate with a 'D' next to their name on the ballot, and if the candidate happens to be an incumbent – the record of the incumbent, and whether or not they were successful or whether they were a complete failure – does not even enter into the picture.
Minorities based their voting decisions on one thing and one thing only: ethnic identity politics.
Which means they vote for the most anti-White candidate that they can. The GOP, like it or not, and whether it is true or not (I don't believe it is) is viewed as the party that represents the interests of White conservative people. One of the primary desires of White conservatives is to pry as many leeches and parasites as possible off of their hard earned paychecks in order for them to be better able to live by their conservative principles – a big part of which involves taking care of their own families and not relying upon the government. Keeping as much of the money that you work for and earned is a critical component of that effort to be self-reliant. This desire clearly conflicts with the objectives of leeches and parasites, who mistakenly believe that they are entitled to an ever increasing portion of the fruits of another man's labor.
Thus, even if America collapses into an economically failed sewage pit – I will promise you that in 2016, whoever the Ds trot out to replace Obongo – these minorities will vote for them and not for anyone the GOP runs against them.
One last observation. The non-white third world is permanently mired in poverty, corruption, and dysfunctionality for a reason. The reason is because all cultures are not equivalent, despite what the Cultural Marxist liberals have told us – and all peoples on this planet are not equally talented at building and maintaining advanced, prosperous and vibrant First World caliber civilizations. The problem we face, unfortunately, is one that involves ego. The incompetent people who comprise the Obama constituency refuse to admit that they are unfit to run a first world society. To make matters even more dire, they are immune to efforts to shame them by calling them parasites and leeches.
Here is an excellent video that I highly encourage you to watch:
Mark Steyn talking about the fraud of multiculturalism, which he calls "a cult of ignorance", on The Michael Coren Show.
"One of the primary desires of White conservatives is to pry as many leeches and parasites as possible off of their hard earned paychecks."
They have no problems with corporate leeches and parasites though and are more than happy when government throws money stolen from the middle class their way.
Leeches and parasites of all stripes and flavors deserve an equal amount of our disdain, Mr. RickR30.
I would direct you to the clearly treasonous and anti-American ideology known as globalism and it's evil twin brother of 'free trade'. Outsourcing good paying, middle class American jobs and the industries which once provided those jobs – to slave wage third world nations – benefits a tiny few rich elites, who profit from the reduced labor costs. But, these policies clearly do great damage to the vast majority of working Americans, and they also cause huge reductions in the tax base revenues that are needed to maintain the existing infrastructure needs. Plus they reduce the contribution amounts to Social Security and Medicare programs which are critical to the future stability of those earned entitlement programs. Thus, globalism and free trade are simply codewords which mean treason against America by parasitic elites.
I do not condone leeches and parasites at the top, in the middle, or at the bottom of the social ladder, RickR30.
So, what exactly is your issue? Our ENTIRE elite consists of leeches and parasites, and they decide the rule of the game. If they ALLOW some leeches and parasites in the middle or at the bottom, it is solely for the purpose of MAINTANING their parasitical status. There is NO difference between Romney and Obama. For now, the parasitical elite — the real rulers of our country — have figured out that ethnic identity politics WORKS. And that will allow the parasites to stay in power. When, and if, in the future, all Americans of all identiies wake up, and realize that they are nothing but matrix-like batteries for harvesting — they will invent some other trick. They will propably prop up some anti-globalism hero, just to use and abuse him, and spit him out — just to divide, confuse and anger the anti-globalist consituency.
Do not be bitter against THIS version of the servant to the parasites. Tomorrow, the one you choose, will be the same.
Well put, Steve. Globalism and free trade are nothing but euphemisms for wealth redistribution- from the middle class to the lazy parasites on top; from US workers to Chinese workers.
Steve, don't burn a cross on my lawn for telling you that 98% of the minority students attending Ivy League schools know the difference between "its" and "it's".
I find it both humorous and interesting that, when faced with the pending collapse and destruction of the old America – that you obviously hate and despise – and its transformation into a third world dung heap, lead and ruled by the third world caliber people who have not once in their entire documented history on this planet – ever created or been able to maintain a first world caliber civilization – that you find it useful to offer wise cracks about grammar and punctuation, as if those minor issues merit equivalent concern on the scale of what is important.
Manufacturing and research are moving to Asia. The US is done. It is just a matter of time. We lost first world status when we put the banksters in charge of everything after Bretton Woods collapsed. Putting power like that in the hands of the moneychangers… not such a good idea.
Steve, I'm afraid people like us are going to have a hard time countering all these Frankfurt School doctrines here.
Do you think whites are any different in playing the identity politics game?
It more than anything will stop the usual "Give him a chance… Look at what he's inherited" line of BS. I heard that about Chimpster McBushlet to our present Country Club prez.
Maybe that's why the Republicans tried so hard to lose this. They know the shit hit's the fan soon and figure to let Obama take the blame. Or if you're really cynical you figure it's because all these sham "elections" are decided years in advance. The Dems had two terms with Clinton, the Repubs two terms with Bush, now Obama with two terms. Notice that the designated loser party always runs the biggest turd they can find when they're suppose to lose, even if they're running against an incumbent most people hate? (Kerry, McCain, Romney).
Do the voters know that they elect war criminals for presidents that cause death destruction murder,mayhem.
many of us do know it , but not enough yet .
Paid actor Obama’s second election was identical to his first,
in that paid actor’s Romney and McCain were portrayed by
mainstream media as kind of stupid, and Obama was glorified
as most intelligent.
For brutal imperialism is the name of the game in Empire USA
and our corporate rich feel that Obama is the best man qualified.
Can't wait for the NSA Utah "data" center to go online and everything you communicate in any way can and will be used against you. Or for the disposition matrix to claim it's first victim when Obama's death panel decides to kill some American on US soil on the basis of the threat represented by his disposition and/or something posted somewhere on the interwebs by that person.
This was the key election, America's last chance to avoid a total, eternal war of the establishment and the 1% against America. We might not get a war against Iran, but we are going to get a domestic war of terror against America. Every American is now a potential target for execution, either by local law enforcement and their wrong-address-night-raids or by fed/city/private israeli company owned armed drones, or just by lawfare and stripping Americans of all their rights. After all they've got to start filling all those black site jails they built.
Yeah, and you can lay odds on swaths of the vast unwashed bleating about "security" and how the freshly deceased "got whats coming to him" based on the vomit spewed out of DC. It must be true when they say a country gets the leadership it deserves.
Romney and the RNC were justly rewarded last night for throwing Ron Paul under the bus. Romney was the bankster's point man. It speaks volumes as to how a psychopath can be reelected. How much does an electorate have to despise Romney to retain another war criminal? A lot.
Between elections, large numbers of Americans tell pollsters that they want the wars to end, that they want the constitution respected and spying on Americans rolled back.
Then on election day, 98% of them go and vote for the candidates that will continue the wars and erode their liberties.
At least according to what the vote counting computers tell us. Does anyone know they are wrong? The local paper has totals with 98% precincts reporting that have Johnson at just over a million votes, and Stein at around 400,000. Is this accurate? Or, if we looked, would we find more people than this who claim they voted for candidates who would end the wars?
Indeed Ralph, and the simple fact of the matter is, that you don't have any choice when it comes to major issues such as wars. Lots of info on the war deception and much more at the website.
Ron paul could have saved the GOP ship
