One doesn't have to read Stephen King, etc...Tracinski certainly knows how to grab attention, if people only will hear it. His last paragraphs are worthy of any horror story...except it is one we are right in the middle of, and must live through!
Everywhere you look, wherever there is a crisis,
Obama is not simply doing nothing. He's making things worse.
America is about to plunge into unsustainable deficit spending?
Obama got us started early with the stimulus package and the health care bill.
Big states are being bankrupted by public employee unions?Obama wants to increase the unions' power.
Not enough power plants?
Obama wants to restrict them further.
Iran is seeking nukes?
Obama gave them a reprieve against a popular uprising.
Karzai doubts America's resolve in Afghanistan?
Obama wavers on our strategy and declares our intention to bug out, no matter how much disarray there is in our strategy and command.
There's an old saying: When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
But the pattern of the Obama administration has me wondering if we're seeing the inverse: when you plan to fail, you fail to plan.
That is, if American contraction and retreat is your goal, why would you make any plans to revive the economy or win wars?
From the beginning, we've been warning that Barack Obama is an anti-American president, that he believes in American decline on principle—that he thinks we're too wealthy, too powerful, and too free and need to be taken down a peg.
His policies are achieving that goal. |
