CALDERONI'S CORNER: EX-MARINE & PATRIOTIC FIREBRAND BEN TURNS HIS SIGHTS ON PRESIDENT & FELLOW-TRAVELERS WITHIN THE BELTWAY!

WASHINGTON POLITICIANS:  IT'S TIME     YOU STOOD UP FOR YOUR COUNTRY!

A common assumption these days is that, because he seems so disengaged from the business of governing, President Barack Hussein Obama,must be under the thumb of some grey eminence.  That very well may be; and, in a number of current hypotheses, Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros is named as the wizard behind the screen.  However, for the purposes of this article, it will be assumed that Soros is not directly calling the shots.  Nevertheless, there is much that can be included about Mr. Soros in future postings, for  there is no doubt that the enigmatic billionaire has laid waste to economies and furthered leftist tyranny.

Just a few days ago, my learned colleague John Barham referred to Obamacare as a "train wreck." Despite John's sincerity and devotion to the cause of American conservatism, I beg to differ with him on this point, as I see Obamacare as a well-designed plan to damage the American economy, kill jobs and bring down capitalism.  If it succeeds, our leftist enemies throughout the world will send up Hosannas  to their Marxist gods.

Having had direct experience with dictators and authoritarian leftists during my career abroad, I know very well the drill - and President Obama is following the blueprint to a "T."  In previous postings on Two for Texas, reference has been made to the strategy of the "big-lie."  And so, constantly, it is repeated by our would-be dictator that the other side is to blame, that his political opponents are "extortionists" and even "terrorists."  Such language is nothing more than a smoke-screen, allowing the president and his leftist lackeys to take cover in order  to carry on with the destruction of America through the decimation of the middle class, which has traditionally been the backbone of liberty and freedom in our society.

For the millions of Americans who have been seduced into becoming wards of the Obama welfare state, I have a few questions.  Did you really believe that this man was going to lower health care costs for everybody?  Were you concerned about your fellow Americans, or were you thinking only of how much you could game the system for?  Did getting a free phone and food stamps make you feel like a real American?  Were you ever exposed to the ringing words of President John F. Kennedy, who declared, "My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, but ask ask what you can do for your country."? So, think on this: just like the proverbial frog in the gradually warming pot of water, you could very well eventually find yourself a slave in the frothing boil that is authoritarian socialism.

THE SCARIEST HALLOWEEN OF ALL!

And please do not forget, too, that invariably with socialism comes corruption, and the most recent example of such is the website that was to promote Obamacare.  As taxpayers, are we not supposed to know about the particulars of the bid-process which came up with CGI as the architect and constructor of the website?  One supposes not, because this was apparently a process which did not result in competitive bids.  Is it a mere coincidence that Toni Townsend Whitley, Princeton class of 85 and a top executive of CGI, is a friend and college classmate of Michelle Obama?  Was it not known that the company had a history of failed undertakings in both Canada and the U.S.? Don't we understand that this is OUR MONEY going down the black hole of corruption? Are we too weak to protest the total lack of ethics and transparency in OUR government?  Are we       willing to allow the Republican Party to "go along to get along"? Are there not a plethora of violations that might warrant impeachment for this president?

There is absolutely no question about it.  We, the people, are being scammed by our own government!  Are you willing to write your congressman or congresswoman, voicing your concerns about the destructive path that Obama has placed this country on?  To come down to the essence of it all, the corruption in the District of Columbia has left us and our children holding the bag for some 17 trillion dollars. And, despite that, the debt ceiling always gets lifted and money magically comes off the presses for programs like Obamacare that we simply cannot afford.

And finally, for the beltway insiders, you are not ensuring our right to life, liberty and property. You do not serve honorably under our flag, and you do not risk your lives to the point that your coffins return from foreign fields draped with our flag.  No, you rotten bunch of politicians, you never had the privilege of learning about duty, honor and country, as I did, when I was a proud U.S. Marine!  And, if you are ever serious about finding decent role models, I would be most happy to tell you a thing or two!  And, if that doesn't sink in, you are absolutely hopeless, and even worse,  absolutely useless in the service of the United States of America!

God bless America!

Semper Fidelis!
