In a nation which chooses its leaders by democratic election, the electorate is responsible for the quality of those elected.   If the American people were ignorant of the radicalism of Barack Obama when he was elected president, it was not for lack of information.  Anyone interested could readily have ascertained that Mr. Obama was grew up marinated in leftist ideology and all his adult life has embraced radical left believes and its adherents.   

By now the fact that Obama is a hard left socialist who is also comfortable around communists is plain to any who wish to see.  The case of Van Jones, now the former Environmental czar, is but the most visible example; however, Obama has surrounded himself with advisers and czars who are equally as radical as Mr. Jones, only who have been and are more discrete.    The default world view of Obama is as one with Van Jones; he views us who appreciate American traditions and values as being out-of-step.  

So, only eight months into his term,  every day in ways big and small, more and more Americans are waking up to the fact that a hard left socialist who is more comfortable in the company of communists than capitalists is the president of the United States.  The chief executive of the nation is a man whose every influence and instinct contravenes the values underlying our Declaration of Independence and Constitution.    Obama may be a natural born citizen, but he is all other respects he is a total alien.   The simple truth is that for the next forty months the president of the United States will be making war against the people of the country he was elected to lead.

During Mr. Obama's oration to the Congress last evening a Republican congressman, Joe Wilson, could not restrain himself from exclaiming aloud that Obama was lying.    Mr. Wilson qualifies for the most honest utterance made by a member of Congress this term.  Obama lies as most people inhale and exhale.    I've always thought Bill Clinton is the most shameless liar who ever held public office, but Barack Obama exceeds even Clinton in relentless dishonesty.

While the government of the United States strains to wreck the Constitution and society of the country, it also is destroying American credibility overseas and betraying long time allies and declared principles.   In Honduras, a perfectly legal removal of a president who was attempting to subvert that nation's constitution has been branded a "coup" by the State Department and Honduras sanctioned by the United States.   Regarding Israel, the Obama administration has made it crystal clear that it believes the Jewish state is the root of all conflict in the Middle East and is itching to undo our long support for the only true friend we have in the region.    We have turned our back on Iranians seeking to resist the tyrannical regime which has so brutally suppressed dissent, while feverishly working to develop nuclear weapons.    Every time Obama goes overseas he apologizes for supposed past "sins" of the United States.   He seems to embrace every thug dictator and regime while dismissing or insulting democratic nations.   Do we detect a pattern here?

Thomas Friedman is a renowned columnist with the New York Times.   I write renowned because Mr. Friedman is the epitome of an establishment columnist, whose writings are supposed to express insight and depth.  In his column of September 9th, Mr. Friedman opined that autocratic one-party rule as practiced in China was superior to the governance of the United States, since decisions on matters  such as the environment, energy or health care were made without interference from the hoi polloi.     What Mr. Friedman's column reveals is that he is an arrogant snot, a fascist, and a screaming idiot.    Hereafter no one with a functioning brain cell should pay attention to Mr. Friedman.

I have written before that I am convinced that regardless of public opposition the radical socialist Democrats in Congress will force through a nationalized health care system.    Most of the leftists hold safe seats in urbanized areas where extension government regulation of individuals and  business is already a fact of life and can't understand what the fuss is about.  They view the opponents as either Nazis or hayseeds.    So called moderate Democrats (really liberals with less safe districts) will fall into line by the legislation being tweeked enough to appear to have been moderated, but that will be a face saving facade.     What comes afterward depends on whether the American people remain engaged or resign themselves to becoming serfs and slaves to the their own government.   Personally, I think the odds are better than even that we will have serious civil unrest in this country, perhaps the worst since the Civil War, before this president leaves office.    If Obama orders American troops to fire on American citizens, I can see the country falling to pieces with breathtaking speed.   What a colossal mistake was made when Obama was elected.
