Get Out of the Norm

The Republican party could take a lesson from the Democrats. This week we all found out that Governor Mark Sanford was having an affair. Today I read he is considering resigning. The Democrats have been caught in as many compromising positions as any Republican and many are still working in politics. The most famous names that comes to mind are Kennedy and of course Clinton. I remember Clinton’s finger swagging in our faces through the TV as he told us, he did not have sex with that girl, or did he call her woman? In any case, he remained President and Kennedy remains a Senator.

It is the Democrats and their audience that have insisted for decades that the personal and professional life are not tied. Of course, Republicans know this is not true. We know how a man conducts himself behind closed doors is a good indicator of how he will do so in office. Having said that, marriage is hard and infidelity is often a caustic reaction. We are human and it is inevitable that we will sin. I have a much easier time understanding and forgiving someone a transgression such as this. I find Obama’s continued pathological lying much harder to ingest or forgive.

The Dem’s always want it both ways. The problem with our party is we have not learned this lesson. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. By this, I do not mean for us to give up our integrity. I do, however, hope that our party will realize scandal is part of the political game. Every time you are caught with your hand in the cookie jar does not mean you need to step down! If the left can stay in office, then surely a great Governor like Mark Sanford can too. We are all fallible and like Jesus said, who will throw the first stone? Oh yea, the Democrats and their current leader Obama. The President’s lauding of a healthy life style while he sucks the smokes behind closed doors is laughable. Hey, he eats veggies though so it makes it all OK. I digress but with Obama in office how can I help it? I find him and his wife overly smug with nothing backing it up. I am no fan of the elite and have learned you must always look at what they do not what they say. It is said a man is only as good as his word so Obama is not worth much.

If we are to become a strong party again, we must accept the rise and fall of poor choices. Governor Mark Sanford, I for one do not want you to step down. I think you have potential to be a great leader and we need great leaders. You made a mistake, you admitted it and your wife is willing to reconcile. Unlike the Democrats we can actually learn from our mistakes. Just this week Barny Frank is at it again wanting to hand out loans to those who can’t afford them. Wow, do they ever learn? Sorry, I digress again but this stuff is just so rich you can’t make it up. Our party must not sweep such ills under the carpet but grab the microphone and say hey I made a mistake. Then prove your understanding of that mistake by making it right. Insanity is doing the same thing over again hoping for a different outcome. Hasn’t the Democratic party reached their limit on that? It is truth and honor that makes one great. This is a skill the left seems to lack

Obama the need for health care is not a ticking time bomb, you are. You sound like Chicken little crying the sky is falling. Since you have been in office every other week you tell us just that. You have only been in office for 7 months and I have no idea how I am going to stomach you for 3 and a half more years? You continue to play on people’s fears and use rhetoric to press emotional buttons. Now that really isn’t the ploy of a thinking man but more like a con artist. Of course, you have found yourself an audience of fools and they must take the blame for that.

There are many of us that do think for ourselves Mr. Obama and we think you are toxic.  You are only concerned with your agenda to hell with the constitution. You seem the least bit interested about what is best for the United States of America. Something is rotten in Washington DC and me thinks it is you! Many of us see how you are trying to revoke the will of the people all the while creating a fascit regime. This is based on your actions not your empty words.  

There is an uprising in Iran due to a forged Presidential election.  We have not heard word one from you.  We are told you are biding your time and watching. The Iranian people are willing to uprise against a totalitarian regime yet you are biding your time. Could this be because the corruption hits a little to close to home?  We must ask ourselves do you sympathize more with Ahmadinaejad or the people?  You scare me Mr. Obama.  You truly,  truly scare me.

When I think of my father’s generation, they seemed more willing to take responsibility for their success and failure. In the present era, blame is the name of the game. Just this week we saw an 88 year old man shooting people at the Holocaust museum and a few weeks back the shooting of Dr. Tiller. In both cases, we see Republicans and Democrats pointing the finger at the other side. Aren’t we human beings before we are a political party? The fingers should be pointed at the two people that pulled the triggers. There are fanatics on both sides of the isle. Let’s face it, we all have a couple of crazies hidden in our family trees. When did we stop being human beings that are responsible for the actions we do?
Obama understands this mentality and used it brilliantly to get elected. It is now almost 8 months after the election yet he continues to blame President Bush for our current status. Of course, the American people eagerly agree. This is because we no longer take responsibility for ourselves, our decisions, or our failures. How many advertisements do we see daily with drugs offered for any and all kinds of disorders? We are encouraged to put ourselves in a haze instead of dealing with our problems and those of our country. This government perpetuates this by offering us a nanny state that will solve all our problems. We have become an underpowered people by refusing to be responsible for our own mishaps, trials and poor decisions.
How is it that Obama blames President Bush for any and all disconnects but readily pats himself on the back for any success? To be honest, I have seen no success. Obama seems to believe his on rhetoric and has no interest in facts. Just like our inability to accept responsibility it seems we also have become accustomed to lying and cheating. Our government is only a mirrors of us.
To be the powerful country we must get back to our roots. This means we must accept both our successes and our failures. We must understand that each person is responsible for his actions, reactions and decisions. The era of finger pointing must come to an end. We are suppose to be evolving as a species not devolving. What will it take for America to get its integrity back?

Recently we saw Brain Williams bow to the President after his interview at the White House.  A handshake would suffice.  Americans have no intention of bowing to our President.  This week Obama was also quoted in an interview with France’s Canal Plus suggesting America is a Muslim country.  The statistics don’t support his fantasy.  The bigger question is why is this his fantasy?  It is now coming out that Barak Hussein Obama has Muslim roots.  Of course, any of us paying attention to the Presidential race already knew this.  Any such speculation at the time was damped down quickly.  He was insulted when others used his middle name crying foul.  Now as he travles to the Middle East,  he uses it proudly.   

I am flabbergasted by his guile and those that pretend he speaks the truth.   I believe that President Obama is the quintessential Narcissist with mythomania tendencies.  Over the past week, it seems he has been  scripting a fairy tale certainly not reporting facts.  He continues to pathologically lie to all nations hoping to sell his agenda.  For that matter, much of the left has his same schism over reality.  We have an ignorant public that is more concerned with the American Idol winner then the mythomaniac they put into office.  With a drooling media that reports lies as facts and a dumbed down America, it seems we are doomed.   

This week Obama tried to convince the American people that he nor the government had any intention of running GM.  This gave many of us a good chuckle because we have been keeping tabs on this hijack.  Behind the scenes he stripped GM of its CEO, has taken over succesful private dealerships, and has ”suggested” how the new cars will be built and function.  I hear there is still need for a lobbyist up on the Hill for Government Motors!  Obama, your hubris is astounding.
