"What's Happened?"

WE FIGURED HIM OUT



WE FIGURED HIM OUT! By Ben Stein


Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed?

Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:

The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008.

They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.

They ignored his anti-white writings in his books.

They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.

They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student.

They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer," Illinois state legislator, and Senator.

The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.




Why were we duped, you ask? Because it is in the character and personality of an ego-centered Narcissist to be believed. They accept no contrary opinions. They have a 100% conviction in their own opinion and beliefs. They typically are well spoken and have a certain amount of charisma. They are adept at twisting and spinning any thought into their own mold. He rallied much of the non-Caucasian and youth vote. Why? Because he preached change. This element of voters either feel they needed change, or in the case of the young voters, they didn’t have enough experience to fully understand “change from and to what” but the charisma and rhetoric sold this “load of poles”.

Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East , way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future. The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans.

Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.
The American people already know that Mr. Obama's plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never will be -- a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes away.

These are perilous times.. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State, has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home in health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives to "protect us" from global warming, itself largely a fraud if believed to be caused by man.

Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms. There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America .

Ben Stein is a writer, actor, economist, and lawyer living in Beverly Hills and Malibu . He writes "Ben Stein's Diary" for every issue of The American Spectator.

The title "WE FIGURED HIM OUT!"does not apply to me. I knew all about him for over a year. I'm teed off at those who put him there, for being either too lazy or too stupid to know better.

They may have ruined my country and yours.

Is Mr. Stein right? Or is he just another raving ultra-right writer?

Manufactured Healthcare Crisis

For those of you who aren't familiar with it, the Crisis Strategy was the brainchild of two radical socialist college professors, Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. The idea was to overwhelm government with demands for services to the point where the system would collapse and provide an opening for the socialists to take over. Their strategy was behind creation of the National Welfare Rights Organization in the 1960s and 1970s which dramatically increased the welfare roles and caused the near bankruptcy of New York City in 1975; creation of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), prime instigators of the mortgage meltdown; the national Motor Voter law signed by President Clinton in 1993, which opened the floodgates to vote fraud by ACORN and similar groups; and the illegal immigrant amnesty movement. As we all should know by now, Barack Obama worked with and trained ACORN workers for many years, and is known and supported by all the major players in this movement.

Healthcare nationalization is a major component of this strategy.

true

Re: What's Happened????
 

That would explain the total lack of logic in all the nutty stuff that is going on.

Re: What's Happened????
 

uh, oh

Re: What's Happened????
 

Obama campaigned on being different..open government and bipartisanship. Yet they want to ramrod this issue through by having closed door meetings without the republicans. BTW It's not just Obama. Its the Dems in the house and senate

Re: What's Happened????
 

and you believed him?

remember, he is from Chicago and has been swimming in the Chicago political sewer and drinking the water.

Re: What's Happened????
 

Why would anybody believe anything said by a politician?

especially a politician from Chicago
(and one who has supported Rev. J. Wright for 20 years)?

Re: What's Happened????
 

WOW!

This makes so much sense we are watching it unfold before our very eyes-our nation being set up for a total collapse.

Re: What's Happened????
 

I didn't believe him.

Re: What's Happened????
 

What? No...so you believed him? Gee Bro Sam, why would you believe him when it was obvious to the rest of us he was lying? Hmmm? :foottap

Re: What's Happened????
 

I didn't either, but I think Sam has 3D decoder glasses on and he read those invisible letters I had in my post...I do that often just to see who has those funny decoder glasses

Re: What's Happened????
 

What a stupidly broad statement for you to make CJ!

Re: What's Happened????
 

For the people who think our country is headed for a "total collapse", 6 months from now, If I rmeember to, I will bump this thread and laugh.


The President of the United States is not setting the United States up for a total collapse!


Stop drinking the far-right kool-aid!

Re: What's Happened????
 

Socialist tendencies do not equate to total meltdown of America. There were many more socialist programs instituted during the great depression than there ever was. Whether they helped our country make it through those times or not I don't know, but I know we made it through the great depression with them. If we did it before we will do it again :)

Fear-mongering is the strongest weapon the unrighteous right has.

I call them unrighteous because only the unrighteous live their lives in the fear that these folks are trying to perpetuate.

Groundless, senseless fear. What an abomination!

Re: What's Happened????
 

I wouldn't classify Stein as "ultra-right" in any sense. He has moved further right since his days at the old American Spectator. But then again, a lot of the Right have moved right, especially after the Obama election.

I think Obama had the huge spending agenda planned for early in his term all along. Ram the Lefty stuff down our throats early and then piddle around late while the American people forget what had been done. That's usually a successful strategy because by and large, the American public is "ego-centered" and "Narcissistic."

Re: What's Happened????
 

You get the impression that those on the "Right" are a bit loony if you listen to the Birthers and the World Nut Daily crowd. They actually represent a minority - though a rather loud minority.

Being "Conservative" used to mean that you were Conservative in your feelings and passions as well as your opinions. When the McCarthyites were resurrected by the likes of Rushdoony and the Unification Church the sounds that you hear from the Right became increasingly shrill.

Re: What's Happened????
 

Nor did I. Newsflash! The health bill isn't about "health"!!

Re: What's Happened????
 

it's about more government

Re: What's Happened????
 

Mark Steyn, the British journalist was on the radio over the holidays filling in for vacationing hosts. He pointed out who the top three employers in the world were:

1) The People's Army of China
2) The Indian National Railway
3) The United Kingdom's National Health Service

The UK's NHS serves a population of just some 60 million people, yet their employment roles compare to the People's Army of the PRC! There are featherbedding provisions that ensure departments and agencies keep operating even though they are redundant and unnecessary.

The UK is unable to attract citizens of the UK to serve as doctors in the NHS. There is a tremendous shortage of medical doctors because every one who would otherwise be attracted to that field can't or won't do it due to the pay and conditions being so poor. The salaries across the whole NHS are "equalized," except for the top administrators, of course.

So, the UK imports doctors from their former colonies. Half of those involved in the July, 7, 2005, London bombings (Britain's "7/7") were in fact doctors employed by the NHS.

And this is the system that we want to model?

Re: What's Happened????
 

received this today and thought I'd pass it on

Re: What's Happened????
 

Sorry, Jermyn, that was not my statement, it was all a part of the information that I was sharing.

Re: What's Happened????
 

Is Mr. Stein right? Or is he just another raving ultra-right writer?


The above is the only statment that I made, or rather ???'s that I asked.

Re: What's Happened????
 

There is some truth to what he is saying, but most of it is not true and the parts that are true are spun in a way to move the reader to an already presupposed opinion.

Does that make sense?
