In Michael Smerconish's essay, Obama: Substance Not Smears, the author deflates criticism of the president by itemizing the absurdity of the attacks and does little to build a case to validate that Obama is a person of substance. We all know that the charges made by most of these media
clowns are baseless. They are not intended for people who use facts or reasoned
analysis to make a decision. The purpose is purely incendiary, to aggrandize
the speaker, to entertain and amuse the baboon citizenry. And to sell soap
powder.
There are, however, substantial and significant charges that
should be levied against Mr. Obama, acts, which, if perpetrated during saner
times, would have the president impeached or charged with war crimes.
These are not groundless accusations. Many are blatant
violations of the Constitution, while others are charges that the president, when
he was candidate Obama, accused the
previous administration of. They, presented in increasing heinousness, are:
- Suppression of whistle blowers
- Use of wire-taps and drones to spy on Americans
- Dispensing with habeus corpus
- Use of drones to kill citizens of Northern Warziristan
- Undeclared war on Libya and Yemen
- Implementation of kill lists
I am not going waste time debating the accuracy and the
severity of these charges as they are well documented in the media. The last, and
the most egregious of all, the president had the extreme arrogance to trumpet
on a late night entertainment program, a policy he now refuses to talk about due
to its top secret nature.
For these reasons I cannot in good conscience vote for
President Obama. A vote for Obama would signify that I respect the candidate
and approve of his policies, which I find abhorrent. His administration is the
antithesis of a government ruled by law. The expected automatic responses
generally are: “Romney will do the same or worse” and “Obama is the lesser of
two evils” trope. Have we come to this? Again? Election after election, are we
to settle for the lesser of two evils presented by the corrupt two-party system
that continually fails to deliver good, honest, transparent government?
I cannot say that I will vote for Romney and a vote for the
likes of a Jill Stein or a Gary Johnson would be of no consequence. I will posit,
however, that a Romney victory will make us better citizens. Yes. I will say it
again. We all will be better citizens under President Romney.
The Democratic party and the enfeebled fourth estate would
challenge a Romney administration that disregards the Constitutional
protections that define us as a nation. Currently we have a president who is
fighting a war on terror using tactics we have not seen since Hiroshima and
Nagasaki, since the London blitz. His use of kill lists is by every definition
murder, pure and simple. Not a pre-emptive strike ignobly called Operation
Iraqi Freedom. It’s called murder. Not collateral damage. Not non-combatant casualties.
Murder.
Just as the Constitution prevents a president from declaring
war without Congressional approval (which did not however prevent Obama from
taking unchecked military action against Libya and Yemen), no president should
have the right to execute anyone, let alone a fellow citizen, without due
process, presentation of evidence, the right to an attorney, and the
involvement of a judge and jury. These are basic principles enshrined in our
Constitution and they must be protected from tyrannical rule, regardless of
party affiliation. Any president who does not protect them, who works for
subvert them, is a traitor to his country.
These are the arguments that should be made against the
totalitarian regime that is the Obama administration. Not that he has a fake
birth certificate, that he is secretly a Muslim, a socialist exacting his
father’s anti-colonialist vendetta on the West. No, Obama is not a racist or a
retard. He is a traitor and a murderer. This is not a recklessly tweeted allegation
made to incite the baboons. These are facts, easily ascertained facts
documented by the media and commentators of every affiliation, facts unadulterated
by a partisan perspective, a naked observation of the audacious actions of the
last four years.
Where are the Democrats challenging the president for his
abuse of executive power? Where is the media leading with this story on election day? We instead discuss, tweet, and amuse ourselves with tales of Murdoch,
Mourdock, debating the fifty shades of rape, rocking out with the Boss, Kid
Rock, and placing wagers with Trump, Silver and Scarborough, while between
commercial breaks of Here
Comes Honey Boo Boo, we rattle our baboon cages and toss our poop at the
television, computer, tablet, or smart phone.
