We Have Been Warned

WARNING! If any of you are reading this in the Reich of Missouri do not download it or save it to your computer and be sure to delete your browsing history. The Gestapo in training is coming for you.
Now, before anyone starts saying that I think Barack Obama is another Adolph Hitler, it isn’t so. Adolph would not like either Barack or his political agenda and I am confident that Hitler would represent Obama’s worst nightmare.
On the other hand, Obama’s campaign techniques bear a striking resemblance to those of der Fuhrer. To begin with it is an intensely personality-driven campaign. Obama speaks in grand generalities promising people who are disgusted with the present administration that he will make changes. Well, Hitler made changes too. When I hear people chanting the name of Obama, when little children are taught to sing sweet songs about him, when young men march in fatigues, declaring the virtues of Obama, when I see women swooning and hear political commentators getting leg tingles I can’t help but think of how the power of an individual’s personality is the primary weapon in the political arsenal of demagogues and dictators. Hitler, Mao, Castro, Kim Jong-il, any dictator you care to name, they all had their tingle-legged propagandists and sweet singing children. AND THEY ALL HAD THEIR MARCHING YOUNG MEN. Like Jim Jones, they all had Kool-Aid drinkers who trusted them to their death.
When the supporters of Obama begin committing acts of petty terrorism, when Democrats make subtle threats of riots to come if he isn’t elected, I begin to be afraid. When the candidate surrounds himself with radical elements whose stated agenda is the overthrow of our system of government, I begin to be afraid. When he submits himself and his family to the teachings of an avowed enemy of America and the white race, I begin to be afraid – is whitey to be the scapegoat of this new tyranny? Whitey is certainly the scapegoat in the world-view proclaimed from the pulpit of Jeremiah Wright. How Naziesque!
The tactics of the Obama Nazis is most clearly revealed in the personal attacks launched against Governor Sarah Palin. The follow up comes with the attacks made against a citizen named Joe who dared to ask the anointed leader (‘leader’ is English for ‘Fuhrer’) a question about his tax program. The question was innocent enough, but the answer was dangerously revealing – an answer that slipped past the ordinarily disciplined lips of the one who (in the words of the children’s song) “gonna lead us.”
There is no question that Obama has done his best to keep his inner self hidden from us. He has, wherever possible, avoided taking positions. He votes ‘present’ whenever he can get away with it. He took a long time to tell us where he personally stands on the crisis in the banking industry. We are asked to trust him, trust his judgment without any foundation for that trust. Jim Jones told his people “trust me.” Hitler and Lenin demanded that people trust them.
Hitler would not have succeeded had Germany not been in a crisis. People in crisis tend to be like a person gone overboard in high seas; they thrash around for anything that will keep them afloat. Sometimes they grab something that is slowly becoming waterlogged and that will soon drag them inexorably to the bottom. How many of the German people who, in the midst of crisis, cast their vote for Adolph Hitler, lived to wish with utter intensity they had sought some other response to their crisis. Any other response in the wide world.
The last straw for me came when the minions of Obama began to threaten people who dare to speak out against him. There has been social intimidation by those who have characterized every criticism of him as racist. Now there is intimidation by law enforcement people in the state of Missouri. They have deliberately, in the most blatantly anti-American, anti-democratic, anti-civil rights, anti-populist, anti-Bill of Rights manner, used threatening terms to intimidate people within their jurisdiction. They use words typical to the arrest and prosecution of criminals to threaten their fellow Americans who, for the time being at least, live under the same Constitutional freedoms that they do. They are saying to you and me and all of our fellow free Americans, “you dare not speak against THE ONE in this state of Missouri, lest the Gestapo come and get you.”
In his speeches Obama has said the Republicans would say he is scary and that he is black. I guess he thought no one had noticed he’s black. The fact is we don’t care – it is he that cares.
Obama deliberately links something that might sound racist to the idea that he is scary so that both accusations would seem racist. But his own pastor revealed that Obama himself is steeped in the racism of black liberation theology. It is he who cares about his racial identity, not I, not most Republicans, not any fair minded American. What we do care about is that he is scary – very, very scary.
I have to stop now; I hear the gravel in my driveway crunching beneath the heels of jackboots.
