The Verdict's In: President Obama Is Jimmy Carter's Second Term

Will Malven
9/16/2012

I am reminded of that old Herman's Hermits song "Henry The VIII, I Am" where he sings, "Second verse same as the first."

Is this President Barack Hussein Obama's 2008 term in office, or Jimmy Carter's 1980 non-existent second term? How can you tell the difference?

As of today, President Obama's Domestic record:

The economy is a nightmare
Unemployment through the roof
Housing prices still falling
Inflation ramping up
Huge deficits as far as the eye can see
A monster debt which exceeds the entire gross domestic product of our economy

AND his foreign record:

The entire Middle East in turmoil
Anti-American rioting by Muslims all around the world
American diplomatic staff being killed for the first time since 1979
Relations between Israel and Egypt almost back at square one
Egypt re-militarizing the Sinai Peninsula
Iran months away from having a nuclear weapon
Israel beating the military action drum
Afghanistan descending once more into chaos
Iraq turning more and more towards Iran

How is this not the long unlamented, unwished-for (by anyone but Democrats) second term of Jimmy Carter? The complete economic collapse, the overall feeling of malaise, the worst racial polarization in 3 decades, the complete failure in foreign policy . . . even to the point of having dead United States diplomats.

With President Obama's first term we have finally come full circle back to the days of the "Malaise" of Jimmy Carter.

Not much more needs be said. Two men, two different Democrat Administrations, same identical failed agendas. Just as the election of Ronald Reagan gave Americans a new sense of hope and optimism--later born out by a surge of national pride and the longest peace-time expansion in our history--the election of Mitt Romney will lift us out of this pit of despair in which we find ourselves now.

With conservative--pro-business, pro-prosperity--principles and some actual leadership, we will see jobs being created, individual prosperity expand, our individual liberties more secure, and our relations overseas begin to stabilize.

This Keystone Kops Administration must be voted out before our nation is ruined beyond redemption.

Long Live Our American Republic!!!

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - Ronald Wilson Reagan

"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, but that they know so much that isn't so." - Ronald Wilson Reagan

"Racism:" The Throw-away Liberal Accusation

Will Malven

Every time a conservative criticizes President Obama, the first response from liberals and Black Leaders is an accusation of "racism." Time for a little dose of truth.

Conservatives oppose Obama because the policies he supports and the positions he espouses are antithetical to what our Founding Fathers had in mind when they built this greatest of nation. Obama is wrong, because he doesn't believe in the Constitution, because he believes that America is the source of evil in the world, and because he believes that private enterprise, profit, and capitalism are evil. He is wrong because he believes that government isn't just the answer to some questions, but to all questions.

Opposing Obama isn't "racism," it is rejecting a President with whom we have a fundamental, principled political and philosophical disagreement; it is opposing a man who doesn't see the world as I and other conservatives see it.

So go ahead, accuse us of "racism," it has no power over us or what we say. That tired, old, empty, accusation, used for decades to badger and intimidate good people who love this nation, no longer carries any weight.

Unfortunately for liberals and the "race pimps" of the black civil rights movements, African American activist Mary Frances Berry spilled the beans when she said:

"Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is NO EVIDENCE that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans and indeed many other Americans, but getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one's opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness."[Emphasis added]

There it is right from the horse's mouth. The accusation of "racism" is nothing more than a ploy used by the left to achieve their political goals.

Claims of "racist" and "racism" have been used for so long and so often that the words have ceased to have any real meaning or hold any power.

Accusing others of "Racism" is now nothing but a liberal political ploy intended to silence opposition. The accusation has no meaning--unless one is referring to the mobs of black youths raging through our cities this summer attacking only white people . . . FOR BEING WHITE . . . that, I'll grant you, is racism.
