“CHICAGO-STYLE THUGGISH BEHAVIOR”

(May 30, 2013) — For five years we have been warning readers and those who are snooping about of the danger that Obama poses to this Nation. He promised to totally change America…and voila, he is doing it in the finest traditions of an accomplished Chicago political thug. Every leader, whether civilian or military, understands that as the leader goes, his subordinates or underlings follow. The organization in general, if not in detail, takes on the personality of the leader. If one does not understand that basic leadership principle, one is simply naive as to how leadership works. In Obama’s case whether or not he understands it is irrelevant; what has proven to be factual is that virtually everywhere in his Administration his Chicago-style thuggish behavior is on display. So, we have Obama Administration certifiable lies about Benghazi, the IRS and intimidation of the media. Surprised? One shouldn’t be.
Examples of Obama’s anti-American thuggish behavior abound, with Sequestration being the most vivid. Incidentally, Sequestration has only a marginal effect, if at all, on his support base. Although he asserted during the Campaign that there would be no Sequestration, before it took effect Obama did everything possible to bring it about, then in a play that media ignoramuses ignore he blames Congress for its failure to prevent it.
Here are the facts: a two percent cut in a budget that was increased by 3.1 percent yields budget growth of 1.1 percent, not a decreased budget; so Sequestration cuts are a total Obama Administration fabrication. But who said the Democrats deal in reality? Despite budget growth, it isn’t enough to satisfy the Obama Administration so he directed Federal Agencies to make Sequestration cuts where they would have the greatest negative effect on the voting public. One of the most visible is to shut down White House tours for the general public, a minor cost that could easily be offset by cancellation of only one of Obama’s continuing campaign trips, and reprogramming those funds…and yes, it’s doable. That is but one example of hundreds, all of which are similarly designed to adversely affect and offend ordinary Americans.
Why would he want to take that approach? The answer is to cause the most people inconvenience or to make them “suffer.” Those will then “beg” for relief, while he blames the “pain” on Congress, notwithstanding the fact that he is the one who crafted Sequestration legislation and subsequently stated that he would veto any attempt to fix it. Past Presidents have consistently done exactly the opposite, to minimize the pain by lopping program allocations where those allocations would have the least effect. And thus, Obama continues to “fundamentally change America.”
For those who like it, one wonders in what universe they live, certainly not in a sane or logical one. The problem is compounded by some Republicans who are so “moderate” and morally corrupt that the Chicago Mafia-led by Obama’s Administration of political thugs with its agenda of:
• “Good times” sexual perversion,
• “Robin Hood” economics,
• Anti-traditional family,
• Pro-Muslim anti-Christian bias,
• anti-life sexual freedom cloaked in women’s right to discard any semblance of personal responsibility in favor of lust, and
• Glorifying evil while calling it “good,”
Are running roughshod over civil behavior…witness among others the ongoing street war in Obama’s home city. Obama and his acolyte henchmen can’t fix Chicago and disgusting liberals believe he is good for the country? Is this still the United States of America or some third-world banana dictatorship? Evidence shows that it is increasingly the latter…it’s time that some Republican(s) get some backbone or get the hell out of the way and let Conservatives restore the Republic.
I urge Congress, “Don’t allow Obama to distract the nation from his evil agenda.” It is said, “I know thy works that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would that thou Wert cold or hot. So then, because thou art lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Moderation be damned, it’s time to go for the left’s political throat.
In case one wonders, I’ve had it with this Administration…and some Republicans as well!
