Realities From My Father

OK.  Tell me why the President of the United States would decide to weaken the work requirements related to welfare? 

 The obvious answer:  political gain.  But there may also be a not-so obvious reason.

 A President who thinks that eighteen holes of golf is work enough has now decreed that laboring to obtain an otherwise free benefit is no longer required.  Yet, free lunches, there ain’t no such thing.  You the taxpayer are paying for someone to sit on their ass and collect welfare. 

 By presidential fiat just months before the November presidential election Obama has told us in effect that he doesn’t want the beneficiaries of welfare to have to strain themselves on the way to the 7-Eleven.  Lifting that bottle of Jack or that can of malt liquor is work enough. Am I being cruel?  No.  You’ve been to the 7-Eleven and seen the line waiting to buy lottery tickets.  Is this a generalization?  Perhaps, but you can fill in your own eyewitness accounts. Obama by fiat diminishes individual effort and seeks to replace it with the collective effort (to win reelection.

What may not be so obvious a motive for this fiat by Obama, who is rabidly anti-colonialism (see Obama 2012, the movie), is his desire to denigrate the Protestant work ethic in America. Beyond political gain he may have decreed this because of his or his father’s own ill-will towards American missionaries. One can only speculate based on the familial and national dysfunction found in Obama’s book, Dreams From My Father.

   Obama may very well have thought that American missionaries who were sent over many years from U. S. churches to foreign countries like Africa brought with them free-market enterprise, capitalism and the Protestant work ethic along with the Gospel.  Because of Obama’s learned hatred of colonialism there would be little wonder when later Obama would sit within ear shot of the black liberation theology rants of “Rev.” Jeremiah (“God Damn America”) Wright.  For Obama those “colonizing-looking” missionaries may have appeared to be bringing with them the shackles of Americanism.  To Obama and Wright those falsely perceived “projected” purveyors of slavery via work ethic are anathema.  And from Obama’s speeches one can readily tell that Obama detests anything American and especially the individual effort which produces human flourishing. Work is just to be a caged sideshow event outside Obama’s big circus tent of government. Obama’s Big Government Show does not need you to work.  It just needs your ticket to the show (your vote).

This is the screwed up thinking born out of Obama’s father’s dreams.  And, it is now America’s nightmare.

 I learned about work from my father.  He showed by his example how to support himself and his family.  There were times when my dad worked at two jobs. He did what he had to do.  He provided for his family and for his future.  He also paid taxes and donated ten percent of his earnings to our local church.  I’ve followed in my father’s footsteps (see my previous post). Obama on the other hand has no idea about what I talking about here.

 Obama’s father spent his time drinking and womanizing. Obama’s “founding fathers”  Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright and mentor Frank Marshall Davis, a radical poet and former Communist, taught Obama how to radicalize what he felt inside.

 Obama has learned nothing from his father except how to hate that mechanism that promotes cultural and material exchange and success via the marketplace.  He hates the hard work that supports it. He lives in the valley of the shadow of colonialism.

 Beyond this, Obama, in Howard Zinn-Noam Chomsky-like fashion defines America as the pompous ass that needs to bow the knee to the ever-gracious world – the same world that spits out Osama Bin Laden and Khalid Sheik Mohammed, North Korea’s Kim Il-sung, Iran’s Ahmadinejad and countless terrorists and tyrants and those who support them.  And like Zinn and Chomsky Obama thinks America has a big head.  But what Obama and these other “big heads” don’t realize is that they are projecting their own dysfunctional personalities onto America.

 Obama sees nothing exceptional about America. He sees America as the throw-away packaging that holds his own political gain.

 Obama:  why work so hard trying to reach for the stars when you can easily reach for your food stamps in the voting booth?

What does the 2012 Obama Presidential election campaign look like?   A collective of special interest groups (big labor unions, homosexuals, women on birth control who can’t afford to pay the five dollars every month to buy it even though they attend prestigious colleges, etc.), limp-wristed faux Indian progressives like Elizabeth Warren, extremely wack radicals like Van Jones, giant ‘plasticized’ Hollywood egos craving attention, Wall Street deep-pocket Super-Pac cronies, Green Energy Money Launderers, Occupy Whine Street-ers and all the disenfranchised “not-ready-to shovel” for their lunch people.
