For over a year, a debate has been growing amongst Conservatives. We all agree that the people surrounding Obama are dangerous, ranging from downright terrorists and bigots like Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright, to the plethora of Socialistic philosophers and self avowed Marxists who decorate his House of Czars.
The question on the table: Do these people represent Obama's honest look at the world or has the vetting process been sloppy? I appreciate the tendency to give our president the benefit of the doubt. I have done so myself in the past, feeling skeptical, but with a sense of fair play. Having said that, the time has come to admit the obvious: I do not believe Obama's friends, associates, Czars and cabinet appointments got over the fence by accident. I am convinced he already knew every single, solitary thing they stood for. Indeed, that is just exactly why they were hired. They may come across like the nuttiest, scariest kooks you ever witnessed, and Obama's persona may seem tame by comparison, but it should interest you to know that in his biography, he admitted and explained exactly what is going on. He told us in his own words how radical acquaintances and colleagues felt they needed a nicer looking, gentler sounding face as a more effective courier to their revolutionary message. Yes, people, Obama himself told us the truth long ago, even though he now tries to cut ties when a Czar or two reveal their true intentions a little more quickly than scheduled and drive down his approval rating.
Even as I remind you of Obama's confession on record, you may still have trouble believing that this nightmare is real, and not merely a form of REM sleep that we will soon happily awaken from. How can a president with any sense surround himself with such radicals? The answer is actually quite simple: In his mind they are not radical. These are the people he grew up with. These are the people who educated him. These are his fellow students. These are his friends. This is the world Obama knows. This is the mainstream. It is the opposing world views that look foreign to him. In President Obama's mind, they are the normal ones, not us. They have the high ground on morality, not us. Yes, Obama was aware that many in our country would not accept Boris or Natasha, but the election evidently gave him a swelled head and delusions of godhood. I believe the man thought he could get away with anything, even force feeding our country what it doesn't want, but what he and his buds (in their arrogance) know we need.
The time has come to confront reality head on: There is nothing wrong with the Obama administration's vetting process: But there is plenty wrong with the Obama administration's objectives.
