Freedom Outpost
The legacy of Barrack Hussein Obama will be that he brought the country to the brink of civil war. His incompetence, lack of experience, skewed vision, mental incapacity, willingness to lie, and fundamental indifference to this country and its traditions have put the nation in crisis.
Obama believed that his election to public office in spite of his radical past and his inexperience was an indication that the public would also accept his secret radical and socialist agenda. All he had to do, he thought, was keep his plans secret.
Why did voters elect this racist ideologue? They wanted to show that they harbor no prejudice against a black man, that they are morally superior, and not bigoted.
They were willing to make president a man who was a one-term senator whose only accomplishment in the senate was to work on his campaign and vote “present”, whose background was community organizing, whose birthplace was shrouded in mystery (an original birth certificate has never been produced), whose associates were known radicals and racists, and whose college years have been sealed off from inquiry. Can you imagine any white candidate with these credentials being elected?
Obama’s purpose from the outset, as suggested earlier, has been to gain absolute control so that he could transform the United States into a socialist state. That was his secret agenda. But to do that, he had to get complete control of the country. The simplest form of absolute control short of martial law is control at the ballot box. Obama proposed to get that by legalizing 30 million illegal aliens. He reasoned that if 30 million illegal aliens were made citizens, they would easily tip his 51% control into a wide margin that would insure socialist control into perpetuity. Granting health care to illegal aliens would cement their loyalty and their votes, and eliminating private ownership of guns while putting a shut-off valve on health care would forestall opposition once the populace at large finally realized what was happening. Without guns the population would be powerless and with health care in the hands of the government, dissenters can be cut off from medical procedures.

Needless to say, had these agendas been laid out in the open, they would have been universally disapproved by the electorate, for no one but a socialist radical would be in favor of the United States evolving into a third world country ruled by people who know how to spend money but not how to make it. Had he not lied about his agendas, Obama would have been sent packing like the crackpot radical he is.
Obama had it right about the extent to which many whites had drunk the “I’m-not-a-racist” cool aid, but what he was too dense to understand is that although past governments had lied about almost everything, no past government had attempted to transform the entire country into a socialist state in which every aspect of life is controlled by the government
But once lies and deception in the service of secret agendas became the president’s tools of office, Obama’s supporters in government, the bureaucrats, imitated the boss, and lying and deception became the approved way of doing business at all levels of government. So we have the lies in the IRS scandal, the deception in Fast and Furious, the attorney general lying to a federal court in order to get an illegal search warrant against journalists, the NSA concealing from the American public that they are intercepting telephone and email transmissions, and high level government officials lying about what happened in Benghazi.
While it would be fair to say that this sort of thing has been done since the inception of the Republic, what is different now is the scope of the corruption (which isn’t even acknowledged as corruption). It is not unusual, for example, for special interests to team up with lobbyists, legislators, and financial supporters to promote favored, meritless programs that spend literally billions of dollars, but enrich its supporters. The failed head start program, for example, continues to spend 7.3 BILLION DOLLARS every year.
For the most part, the public does not even know these boondoggles exist or that they are being lied to about the true cost. For example, seniors mostly supported Obamacare because they were told that Obamacare was strictly a humanitarian program that would not affect their benefits. They were not told that Obamacare is funded in large part by taking 500 BILLION DOLLARS from Medicare and imposing death panels on seniors, who the government can no longer afford to treat because the money that funded their treatment has been taken to pay for Obamacare. That seniors, of all people, actually believed their access to health care would not be affected by Obamacare illustrates how effective the system of dishonesty, lies and disinformation really is.
When this nation began, in the eighteenth century, dishonesty, deceit and lack of transparency in government, while undoubtedly present, were not the problem they now have become because no one stayed in government long enough to exploit the dishonesty to the extent it now is exploited. The idea then was that you made your contribution, performed your service, and moved back into private life, where your real interests lay. Now we have people who have been in congress thirty or forty years, have retired and gone on to the even more lucrative field of lobbying. As lobbyists they are paid to use their government networks to influence spending and the awarding of contracts. On the one hand, this is all done in open, but on the other, the public at large has no idea what it means and even less idea of what it costs.
In the end, government lies, operates in secret and covers its actions with obscurity for only one reason: it wants to do things the public would not approve. Why else be secret, non-transparent, and lie?
In my view, the culture of dishonesty is so well established, so deeply entrenched, that it cannot be fixed. Changing the actors (elected officials) promises no relief because the environment in which they work will remain unchanged and will ultimately control even the best intentioned of new-comers.
As a matter of last resort, my suggestion is that the United States should be divided into two separate countries. One country would be a socialist mecca for those who wish to be supported by the government. The other country would be a place for people who want to support themselves and help others who need a temporary boost on their way to self-sufficiency.
One country would encourage people who choose to have unlimited illegitimate children in single parent families supported by welfare; the other would encourage two parent families who are self-supporting and actively educate and support their children.
One country would allocate its money to support its own citizens first. The other country would send money around the world at alarming rates regardless of whether its people needed financial assistance.
One country would insist on honesty, truthfulness and openness in government operations; the other would continue to operate by way of lies, deceit and lack of transparency. The government based on lies would be forced to do this to mask the fact that the few who are working are supporting the many who choose not to work.
Years ago I served as a judicial hearing officer in Family Court, where I heard more than 10,000 cases involving child support. Many cases in Family Division concerned single deadbeat-welfare-recipient fathers who produced seven to ten children by different mothers, who, with their children, were also on welfare. This was during the Clinton years, when government announced it was putting limits on the time anyone could be on welfare. Many of these men had been on welfare all their lives and were second or third generation welfare recipients.
After Clinton’s changes to welfare went into effect, when I asked the deadbeat defendants why they weren’t working and how they supported themselves, they no longer answered they were on welfare. They answered they were on Social Security Disability, another government program that paid virtually the same benefits as welfare.
One healthy twenty-year-old explained to me that he could not work to support his welfare-funded children or himself because of his federal disability: the inability to follow orders. Other defendants, all former welfare recipients, had disabilities that were similar if less comic. Government was actually doing the same thing it had always done, supporting deadbeats and their progeny, but claiming it had reformed the system.

The point is that it has become impossible to believe anything government says because it always has an agenda it doesn’t tell us about. Obama thinks our concerns about lying in the IRS scandal should be alleviated because it was only renegade IRS employees who targeted conservatives; in the NSA scandal, we should be relieved because lawyers and judges have to approve intrusions into our privacy; in the Fast and Furious scandal, we shouldn’t worry because the only purpose of the gun-running illegality was to arrest criminals in Mexico; in the AP scandal Holder’s lies to the federal judge are fine because Holder never intended to prosecute the journalists whose communications he intercepted; and in the Benghazi scandal we should be reassured because rescue in Benghazi was impossible. In other words, the fox is explaining to the farmer that he should not worry about the chickens because the fox has to check with other foxes before he can do anything to the chickens, and in any case, sometimes it just isn’t prudent to be transparent about what you’re doing.
For those who never tire of extolling Obama’s brilliance, remind me, please, once again, how it was a good idea to foster a culture of lies, deceit and obscurity of purpose such that anything the government says or does is now regarded as a fraud.
People who want to live in a country where deceit is the norm are fortunate; they are already there. Others may want to carve out space of their own.
Socialism is not the Answer
