Ranting Right Wingers, Ignoring Facts
YOU CAN LISTEN to hard core conservatives complain about Obama, and if you're not careful, start to see some sense in about half of it. However, you always come to your senses, with a little thinking. it could be argued that Obama is among our greatest presidents, that he saved the country by bailing out corporate capitalism in America, and with his recession mitigating stimulus package. But that's another issue entirely. Our conservative comrads, and their incredible claims, concern us here. Ninety four million adults out of work, they claim. Double the national debt. Giving the bomb to Iran, and a hundred and fifty bil to boot. Government take over of health care! Socialism! Obama supporting gay marriage, abortion, and racism. Weak foreign policy, helping Islamic terrorists, abandoning Israel. The littany gets pretty wild. Conservatism, run amok. Quick Fact check: most of the ninety four million jobless Americans don't want a job. Iran will never get a nuclear bomb, thanks to Obama. Obamacare works like a charm, as do all other forms of American socialism, for millions. Any argument, even the craziest, can seem solid at first, if key facts are conveniently ignored. The people who hate Obama now hated him the day he was elected, if not before. They hated him the day he was born, and they pretend he wasn't born in America, or wasn't born at all. Lest we forget, its Donald Trump himself who makes a big fuss out of President Obama's alleged birth outside America, perhaps on another planet. For sheer crazy creativity, you can't beat Obama bashers. We'll miss them. The key to their staying power is a complete, smug ignoring of facts. Obama the Moslem. Obama the friend of Islamic terrorists, whom he refuses to capture, or even identify or slander. The crazy accusations keep on a comin', all from the Christian right wing, but it shouldn't be surprising. To simultaneously be a Christian and a conservative requires a sort of schizophrenia, or at the very least, extreme compartmentalization and denial of facts bordering on the psychotic. But as long as the masses of sane Americas don't take them seriously, we should be safe from them. Please bear in mind, these radical conservative Christian types are the ones who claim that global warming is a liberal hoax, presumably with tens of thousands of intellectuals, scientists, and assorted liberals meeting in secret, promoting phone man made climate change to gain political power. Troubled, potentially dangerous folks, these radical right wingers, for whom we hope for the best, in terms of getting the help they so badly need. Two of my right wing buddies from the class of seventy three were talking about Michelle Obama being a transgender, having adopted her two daughters. You cannot make this stuff up. Psychotic hatred. That's how low they go, and how crazy it gets. Beware.
