Ok... Mr. OWEBOMB.... I find your inaugural speech a bit troubling and the more I read it, the more troubling it becomes. In fact it is downright maddening and disgusting. So off to the general public, because I know you wouldn't understand a single explanation of your duplicity.
In a previous post... I showed you how OWEBOMB makes word combinations do something they can not; make contrasting comparisons. That article came first because as he closed his speech out.... they kept ringing in my ear.... and the question was: What was that suppose to mean? I had to dig out the transcript and find what he was saying. NOTHING. Now that I have had some time to simmer down.... I was moved to go back and start from the beginning and see what other misrepresentations made that are pure fiction or at least a leap of logic beyond fathomability.
When we started hearing BO speak on his first election campaign, we heard his campaign headquarters, the driveby media gushing all over him saying how smart he was. I would listen and think... so what, we already know that.... that is nothing new. But these people must not have known it or they wouldn't think it was so awesome that he was so knowledgeable.
When you read his words, you can always pick the start of these leap of logic setups by finding words designed to gain your acceptance, words of truth. Then he goes on to set up a leap..... for example, he says;
"Through
it all, we have never relinquished our skepticism of central authority, nor
have we succumbed to the fiction that all society’s ills can be cured through
government alone. Our celebration of initiative and enterprise, our insistence
on hard work and personal responsibility, these are constants in our character."
How can you not agree with that?
But then he says this,
"when times change, so must
we; that fidelity to our founding principles requires new responses to new
challenges; that preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires
collective action. For the American people can no more meet the demands
of today’s world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the
forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias. No single
person can train all the math and science teachers we’ll need to equip our
children for the future, or build the roads and networks and research labs that
will bring new jobs and businesses to our shores."
What kind of statement is that? Who in this nation would ever believe it? But, because you just agreed with his previous statement, you are led to believe you are agreeing with this statement.
Then he resets the stage.... he says,
"This
generation of Americans has been tested by crises that steeled our resolve and
proved our resilience. A decade of war is now ending. An
economic recovery has begun. America’s possibilities are limitless,
for we possess all the qualities that this world without boundaries demands:
youth and drive; diversity and openness; an endless capacity for risk and
a gift for reinvention. My fellow Americans, we are made for this moment,
and we will seize it -- so long as we seize it together." Mixing reasonable sounding words with code words bringing you along to his new thinking... "we will seize it.. so long as we seize it together."
Then after a little class warfare and bigotry, he says this,
"We understand that outworn
programs are inadequate to the needs of our time. So we must harness new
ideas and technology to remake our government, revamp our tax code, reform our
schools, and empower our citizens with the skills they need to work harder,
learn more, reach higher. But while the means will change, our purpose endures:
a nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single
American. That is what this moment requires. That is what will give
real meaning to our creed."
Did you catch that? "A nation that rewards the effort and determination of every single American"? What is that suppose to mean?... This nation is you and I. You and I are going to as a nation, reward not the accomplishment or success.... but the effort and determination.
Those final words.... "That is what will give real meaning to our creed." Folks, this is what really scares me.... the remaking of America into his bigoted ideals. We have a system that works just fine. To trash a system that build the greatest nation on the face of this earth, and remake it into something that has never proved successful just because you believe you are better than anyone else who has tried it before, and you can do it doesn't mean it will work. It isn't about providing opportunity, it is about bringing equality. Not a GOD given equality such as we are born with.... but a state sponsored equality.
The rest of this speech is filled with distortions and downright lies. Since when is it not incumbent upon each of us to reach out and seize the opportunities we have before us. Is it not our right to do that? If it is our right, it then is also our responsibility act upon it. If we do not... it is not the states responsibility nor anyone elses to provide it for us. The veiled assertion that someone wants to take away the social programs for the disabled and the elderly is preposterous. And how does Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security have anything to do with freeing us to take risk that makes this country great? Pure pablum ...
It is the duty of you Mr. President, to build upon the foundation laid by our founders, to provide safety to the citizens of this country, to protect our borders, not to tell us how to live, what we believe, eat, wear, drive, where to live and work. Get off your bigoted high horse and let us create what you will never be able to.... a thriving economy and a freedom loving nation who knows how to stand up for liberty and justice for all.
