Wisdom from the Backside of the Desert

Our Fearless Leader, President Barack Obama, shuffled off to Copenhagen this week to once again play messiah on the world stage. Diplomats and dignitaries had been haggling all week long to forge a global agreement on reducing carbon emissions, and expected the heads of state to swoop in on Thursday to sign the agreement in a UN-sponsored photo-op.

The week has been roiled by controversy and disagreement, however, starting with the release of the Climategate emails before the conference even began. Then there was the leaking of the scandalous Danish Text papers, the secret plans of more developed nations that excluded emerging third-world countries from their talks. It caused those excluded third-world countries to walk out of the convention.

15504205Enter Obama. In his speech, he was ‘visibly angry’ according to world media reports, and slammed China for not submitting to inspection and accountability for their carbon emission agreements. China, on the same day that Obama scolded them, expressed their sincere doubt that they or the rest of the world can continue to carry the US debt burden.

Coincidence? I don’t think so.

Our President hasn’t a clue how our economy is connected to the debt and the environmental regulations let alone the health care bill that Congress is about to pass. He doesn’t seem to live in reality, but in a progressive fantasy that requires him to fix the world, starting with the US. By confronting China over environmental issues, rather than human rights abuses, he has fired a blank in his gun of influence at the dragon of the east. It only pisses them off, and it doesn’t scare them. Let’s see if they will back us on the sanctions against Iran now.

The MOST INTERESTING aspect of Obama’s speech for me was his admission about his strategy. He admitted in Copenhagen that he wasn’t getting what he wanted, but that was beside the point. The point was to create a foundation that could be built upon in the future by ‘refining’ the original agreement. In other words, “What I agree to today doesn’t mean I’m done, I’ll be back with more demands of you tomorrow.”

When we turn to look at healthcare, we can see the same strategy is at play. A horribly flawed bill is better than no bill at all. This healthcare reform bill that the Democrats are going to force on America is not the end. They will continue to ‘refine’ it to suit their agenda as time goes on. That means it will never be done. Abortion restrictions will be challenged again and again until they are removed. The public option that has been ‘dropped’ will rise, zombie-like year after year until it passes.

obama-chavez-handshakeThe greatest reprieve for common sense on both the climate issue and health care reform is to let them do NOTHING until the science is settled, and the facts and budget are in full view of the American public.

Sadly, as Obama kicked sand in the eyes of China, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela anointed him with the Bush stigma, claiming there was still sulphur in the air after Obama spoke. To rousing applause, Chavez lauded socialism and demonized capitalism. Our Fearless Leader was not able to refute this dictator from South America, because he is himself a socialist politician. How soon the love disappears.

Too bad Obama gave Chavez stature by glad-handing it with him earlier this year and selling books for him. Now we see the credibility he lent to the strongman of Venezuela has been turned against him as a club. Way to go, B. O.!

November of 2010 cannot come soon enough to save us. I am convinced that the progressives currently running our government have a plan to suppress the will of the American people even at the ballot box. I’ll share more in days to come, but with healthcare, cap & trade, hate crimes, and the 2010 census, they are creating a jail-house of legislation that we cannot escape.

stay tuned, bat-fans……..
