UNDAUNTED INCOMPETENCE AND IGNORANCE: HOW MUCH MORE CAN THIS POOR COUNTRY ENDURE?

FOR SHAME, FOR SHAME: A NEW LOW IN
LEFTIST NASTINESS!
The title of the late historian Stephen Ambrose's best seller was "Undaunted Courage."  Courage as a political virtue, seems to be more and more in short supply these days in the Obama White House. Instead, those who are calling the shots in the administration appear to be so consumed with their power-complexes that they are out of touch and unaware of their own ignorance and incompetence, which have led the country to a new low point of failure.

Barely three weeks ago, Obama sycophants in Congress, in an effort to deflect public attention from the many failures and shortcomings of Obamacare, were shrilly branding their opponents as "jihadists, arsonists and extortionists."  And this week, Democratic Representative Allen Grayson hit a new low in emailing (probably at taxpayer expense) a nasty diatribe featuring a burning cross in which the Tea Party and its supporters in Congress were likened to the Ku Klux Klan. Well, dear Representative Grayson, more than one can play that game, as the stench of Nazi race-baiting wafts very strongly from your recent transmission in cyberspace.

When public policy begins to cause disruption, eventually citizens take notice.  When legislation results in inconvenience, stress and strain, legislators will hear about it.  And what can the offending "public servants" do?  Why, of course, they can divert attention to extraneous matters.  There's always the old standby of this government - racism!  It seems to work almost every time.

With revelations of flawed planning and execution having to do with Obamacare surfacing by the hour, those who voted for and supported this incomprehensible law are seeking cover.  But, to Mr. & Mrs. America, who pay their taxes and consider themselves law-abiding, this law and the website which touts it are boondoggles of incompetence and ignorance.  If we can't expect our government, in 3 and 1/2 years to get a new program up and running, what, by golly, can we expect it to do in a professional and efficient manner?

Three weeks ago, Republicans in the House were suggesting that, considering its many problems, at the least Obamacare should be delayed for a year.  His Almighty Arrogance, the president of the United States, would not even consider negotiating the matter.  And, now, it appears that, out of desperation, the  Republican suggestion for delay will become the administration's fallback position for Obamacare.

On another front, owing to the Syrian morass and the infamous "red-line" of the Obama administration's strategy of supporting real jihadists and terrorists, the U.S. has lost power and prestige throughout the world.  Combined with ill-considered pro-Muslim Brotherhood policies and the subsequent fall of the Morsi government in Egypt, President Obama has presided over what is perhaps the most egregious foreign policy failure in the last half-century.  And then, of course, there is still Benghazi, smoldering with the taint of incompetence in the background.

Hard- to-
believe and shocking revelations continue to shake our traditional alliances.  Is it possible that the NSA could tap the communications of the presidents of France and Mexico, the prime minister of Germany, the royal family of Saudi Arabia, the monarch of Jordan  and the sheikhs of  the UAE and Kuwait?  But, wait a minute.  What is that shuffling sound?  It could, perhaps, be those who were thought to be our allies taking leave of their respect for the government that currently prevails in the United States of America!

Yes, dear readers, hard times are facing us, and all because of the reelection of the current occupant of the White House.  Are there still enough of us who value our American traditions of  strength, liberty and freedom, or have our numbers in our country been so swelled by the medicaiders, food-stampers and Obamaphoners, not to mention the legions of faux political refugees, that the electorate will now respond only to the prospect of more bread and circuses?  We can only pray that the recent travesties of incompetence characterizing the present administration will serve as a gigantic wake-up call.

Deo vindice!
