Obama’s Declaration of Political War

In his second inaugural address, Obama makes clear that it’s fight night in America.

(Page 2 of 2)

And, through it all, there is a constant theme: It’s 1965 all over again, America! And, then as now, you have to fight for your rights! The path to salvation lies through governmental action and government-enforced “equality.”

By contrast, the great (rhetorical) presidents — Reagan and Kennedy, for instance — spoke of advancing the cause of liberty.

True, Lincoln spoke of equality, but he spoke of equality of opportunity, not equality of result. Yet, it is the latter and not the former that Obama and the Left push and agitate for.

In any case, it is clearly not 1965. Legal discrimination against blacks and women — and even, to a very significant extent, gays — has been eliminated. And to the extent that legal discrimination still exists, it is typically “reverse discrimination” against lower-middle-class white men and Bible-believing Christians. Yet, by pushing the gay agenda, gay “marriage,” and “affirmative action,” Obama and the left perpetuate this very same noxious reverse discrimination.

In short, Obama has little concern for liberty. And so, his inaugural address, while seductive to liberals, was a knee to the groin of conservatives.

Worse than that, it was a declaration of political war against the conservative movement and the Republican Party. Obama is saying, in effect: “I won, and I am determined to do it my way, come hell or high water. Deal with it, Republicans. There will be no compromise.”

In this way, Obama is the anti-Lincoln. Lincoln, of course, famously declared in his second inaugural address that America must move forward, “with malice toward none [and] charity toward all.”

Obama, by contrast, says that what’s necessary is “spite for the Right, and goodies for the Left.” Or, to twist the words of another great conservative Republican president, Ronald Reagan: “It’s mourning in America.”

Well, it's a one-way fight, because the Republicans are not fighting....That makes it more like an assault on a baby seal.

MelvinNC| 1.22.13 @ 6:48AM

Well you do have a point, but remember the current Republican leadership doesn't represent anything, as usual it will be up to the rank and file to clean up the Republican Leaderships mess.

Robbins Mitchell| 1.22.13 @ 6:59AM

Exactly so,Melvin...and Barokeydoke has no earthly idea how people in the heartland are willing to go to the wall to resist and oppose him...if nothing else,the boy succeeded in getting my blood riled up thoroughly for the first time in years....and I damn well WON'T go gently into that good night....note to self:...buy more Ammo at Walmart this week

Maxwell| 1.22.13 @ 8:37AM

Robbins, good luck with finding ammo. Pickings be mighty slim. Some net providers will not even ship to New York or Jersey. 22LR, 9, 45, 223/5.56 & 308 are all out and the back log is around 3 months., AT BEST!

Robbins Mitchell| 1.22.13 @ 9:02AM

Fortunately I live in Houston,TX...no shortages here...yet

Jack in Wi| 1.22.13 @ 8:17AM

Obama just declared war on the productive, armed half of the population. War is the last thing he should want. Does he think the pansey brigade from San Franciso is going to lead this revolution?

Arnie| 1.22.13 @ 9:52AM

"Obama just declared war on the productive, armed half of the population"

No he did not. Settle down boy.

irish19| 1.22.13 @ 11:08AM

You are right on point, Arnie. The declaration of war was actually made quite some time ago.

Anthony| 1.22.13 @ 1:20PM

Dear troll Arnie, if Obozo has not declared war on us, pray tell, why is CBS's political director urging Obozo to "pulverize us"?
And why pray tell does CBS even have a political director?
Arnie, are you just a troll, or are you just stuck on stupid, or perhaps, both?

CJW| 1.22.13 @ 3:13PM

Anthony and Irish,
I believe the correct spelling is purparnie, it is the same person.

Von Mises Jr| 1.22.13 @ 10:14AM

The GOP in DC and the Blue States has joined the enemy. They are fighting for Statism.

Boehner and McConnell caved on 40 to 1 tax increases versus imaginary spending cuts to allegedly increase tax revenues by $60B per year. Of course, not only will we not see the $60B, but will more likely see lower tax revenues since companies paid dividends in December, investors sold dividend stocks and took money out of the market and the top 2% will make sure they don't get ravaged. That is why they are the top 2%.

But in less than three weeks, Boehner passed $60B in a Sandy Relief Bill that went about 15% to bail out insurance companies and 85% to pork. These clowns might as well switch Parties as Charlie Crisp and Arlen Spectacle had the decency to do.

TLP| 1.22.13 @ 2:24PM

Actually, the idea that they did what they did, on Taxes, doesn't bother me.

The Rich are Rich, for a reason. They're Smart, and they have Armies of Lawyers and Accountants to take care of such Contingencies.

They'll be fine.

They gave him what he wanted, with the thought in their minds that "We've already worked with the President on New Revenues. Now it's time to talk Cuts".

That was a good plan, and something that I wanted them to do.

That's not the Problem.

The Problem is: Will they stick to the Plan?

They have Cover, in the upcoming battle.

It's just a matter of: Will they Stand Their Ground, and Win?

Or, will they pull down their pants, apply the Lube, and lose every last vestige of being Men?

It's time to work the phones in a Threatening Manner.

vtwin| 1.22.13 @ 2:31PM

The Bush tax-cuts were made permanent on the first $400,000 dollars of income. So why is this not a partial victory for the conservatives?

TLP| 1.22.13 @ 2:52PM

I think it WAS a partial Victory.

You, having said what you just said, then must agree with me that the Republicans have worked with Obama, in good faith. They both got something.

You must also agree with me, that it's now time to talk about CUTTING SPENDING.

We don't have a Revenue Problem.

We have a Spending Problem.

RIGHT?

TLP| 1.22.13 @ 3:47PM

Where are you, vtwin?

CJW| 1.22.13 @ 3:13PM

Von
I do hope that O presses his attack on the Republicans so that finally all will see the truth about Obama, and they will finally respond to stop his agenda. If he was not so arrogant, he could con them into working with him. But he will push too hard, and that will help us.

Purp| 1.22.13 @ 2:26PM

Danno415| 1.24.13 @ 2:18AM

BS! The war clearly started when Rush Limbaugh said we hoped Obama would fail and Mitch McConnell said "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president." All Obama is doing is fighting back now. "Like an assault on a baby seal!" Yeah, the peaceful, kind Republicans are just getting bullied by mean old Obama! Waaaaahhh! Listen to yourselves for god's sake! You reek of BS! Own your aggression, and don't cry that it brings a more aggressive foe. Obama was a doormat for the first 4 years!

MelvinNC| 1.22.13 @ 6:46AM

Barrack Obama is a thuggish punk, as well as the first lady who rolled her eyes twice at John Boehner when he was trying to make conversation.
I don't know how many times I have tried to give this man the benefit of the doubt and each and every time I get shafted.
The only thing that punks understand is getting whittled down to size. If I could personally say one thing to Mr. and Mrs. Obama, "Be extremely, extremely careful what you wish for."
Because once it starts, we're going to finish it, and the left will be streaming to the docks to get the hell out of this Country and immigrate to their socialist utopia of Socialist Europe.
You know, the only thing that I ever wanted, was just to be left the hell alone, thats all, it's not allot to ask for, just leave me the hell alone and the left couldn't even do that simple task.

Maxwell| 1.22.13 @ 8:39AM

Melvin, could I be your next door neighbor?

Anthony| 1.22.13 @ 9:24AM

True Melvin, what little I watched yesterday was disgusting. Watching Boner act as the R pinanta for the day, standing around smirking Ds, and then having to sit next to Moochelle, as she rolled her eyes at him was all I could take.
What is it with this jerk, does this man have no pride or self respect?
Why the hell did this moron have to be present constantly yesterday? He could have attended the swearing in ceremony and then left quietly.
But no, Boner had to play the part of the Republican court jester, around all day for the amusement of the Ds.
The Republican Party is a joke.

Purp| 1.22.13 @ 2:31PM

"The Republican Party is a joke." - that it is...

Spineless, self-interested wussies ... led by the appropriately named John Boner (emphasis on Bone)

"You know, the only thing that I ever wanted, was just to be left the hell alone, thats all, it's not allot to ask for, just leave me the hell alone and the left couldn't even do that simple task."

Oh great, and you're anti-social too. You could move to Alaska in a cabin in the middle of the woods. I'm sure you won't be bothered there, and you can still watch all the FOX news you want.

Anthony| 1.22.13 @ 10:55AM

Ah, one of our resident village idiots, Arnie, opines on a hint of violence.
Gee moron, ever hear of Occupy Wall Street? You know, the darling organization of Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the Ds?
What part of in your face don't you leftists get? How far do you think you can push before people push back? Are you truly that stupid?
Shouldn't you be shredding your copy of the Constitution? You did get your official Obozo shredder so you too can shred the Constituton didn't you?

Al Adab| 1.22.13 @ 11:09AM

See, as Arnie demonstrates, the agenda is all and the ends justify the means. Certainly we should all just realize that the elites know what is best for we plebs. Just shut up and do what your betters tell you.

irish19| 1.22.13 @ 11:10AM

"Are you truly that stupid?"
Yes, he is.

TLP| 1.22.13 @ 2:27PM

Has he heard of Occupy?

I have it on good authority that, not only has he heard of them, but he was hiding in one of the Rape Tents, holding on to his pants for dear life.

Purp| 1.22.13 @ 2:40PM

We ARE in your face, and you can't do a thing about it (unless you plan on breaking the law; to which I say "Bring it On") - We Won, You Lost... You are the LOSERs. What part of THAT don't YOU get? LMAO ...

Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.

Your leaders are mushy, spineless worms that bend over on command.

You don't support the Constitution, regardless of your screams to the contrary. You pick and choose the parts you like and discard the rest.

And, if we had someone other than Boner, we could do a lot. All revenue Bills begin in the House....

vtwin: Brown people don't have to prove citizenship when they travel unless they break the law in some other way...my two Brown people, aged 9, travel with this Lebanese looking guy wherever they want to...

Occam's Tool| 1.23.13 @ 12:15AM

Well, Purp, one thing you need to know about Southerners; unlike us Yankees, they stay polite until they are angry enough to kill you.

One day our leaders won't bend. And you will learn what it is like to feel the Ram. Too bad. Pendulums swing.

Gary B| 1.22.13 @ 11:41AM

Melvin,

The thing a leftist hates most is his neighbor's freedom. He can't even tell you why. It probably springs from envy or jealousy. Now, the government is doing everything is can to encourage this hatred. It's like giving every inner-city vandal a free pass to do as much damage as he pleases. Instead of wrecking property, they wrecking society and laughing in our faces every step of the way. They're evolving quickly into mad dogs. Any ideas on how to deal with a mad dog?

Danno415| 1.24.13 @ 2:33AM

What? The left is all about freedom! What the heck are you talking about? If you like to work an 8 hour day, or enjoy a weekend, or marry interracially, or feel secure that your parents have paid-for health insurance after age 65, thank the left. If you think freedom is only about low taxes for yourself while national infrastructure crumbles thank the right.

vtwin| 1.22.13 @ 2:14PM

MelvinNC, want to be left alone? Brown people do too; they would like to travel in public without having to provide prove of citizenship. Women do too; they would like to make reproductive decisions for themselves free of government bureaucrats especially when they have been the victims of rape. Gay people do too; they would like same job opportunities, including service in the military, the rest of us enjoy and yes the RIGHT marry whomever they choose.

TLP| 1.22.13 @ 2:30PM

What they don't like to do, is Follow Our Immigration Laws.

vtwin will open his stupid eyes, when one of his loved ones is Raped, Robbed, or Murdered by one of these Brown People, here Illegally.

One can only hope that this happens Sooner, than Later.

Purp| 1.22.13 @ 2:44PM

So all people here illegally are Rapists, Murderers and Robbers?

That's like saying all people that fish without a license are homocidal maniacs. Duh.

Did you open your eyes about gun control when 20 little kids were killed in Connecticut? Hmmmm...

Occam's Tool| 1.22.13 @ 4:15PM

Purp: did you work in Central New Mexico State Prison? I did:

yeah, a huge number of illegals are crooks. And they overload our prisons in the border states. And you pay taxes to house them in the Federal Prisons.

Drunken Sailor| 1.22.13 @ 4:23PM

Nice try Occam but your talking to a guy who just admitted illegal aliens committed a crime (hence the illegal) compares them to someone else breaking a law, and yet has no problems with either. Then he somehow tries to connect either of those cases to a homicidal lunatic and the need for gun control.

Arent these signs of a breakdown in awareness, and perception and are they not signs of Dissociative disorder? It would explain a lot about Purp/Arnie.

What you just wrote, is the Police Blotter Equivilent of Finding a Four Leaf Clover.

Tell us how many Blacks are Murdered by other Blacks in Chicago, every weekend. In Detroit. In Philly. In Gary. In Oakland. In Cleveland. In Milwaukee. In Newark. In Camden. And on, and on, and on, and on.
Tell us how many Brown People are in Prison for Rape, Robbery, and Murder.

Tell us why 13% of the Population - Blacks - Commit 56% of all of the Violent Crimes in this Country.

White guys stealing Recycleables?

Well vtwin, if legal immigrants supported border security and steming the tidal wave of illegals, they wouldn't find themselves in this position, would they, troll?
And did you use the term women's reproductive decisions and government bureaucrats in the same sentence? Then I guess you also support real Americans making 2nd Amendment decisions free of government bureaucrats and presidential fiats, right vtwin?
You want gays in the military, you got it. You want woman in combat situations, you got it. You want to marry your brother, oh sorry, you already did that. Never mind.

But like Avis, I'll try harder to become #1. What does Tom Kratman, Esq. have that I don't?

Waaaaah! Yeah, why would anyone be rude to sweet, kind ol John Boehner? You know what? you're part of the country you claim to love, and as such you have responsibilities as a citizen. "Just leave me the hell alone"! You sound like a 12 year old girl. Throw a tantrum! Waaaah! I have to pay taxes, and it goes to fund things I don't personally agree with! Waaaah! I have to pay for my own health insurance and can't just freeload and go to the emergency room when I need help! Waaaah! Buck up and contribute to America!

Also, the delusions of toughness on the right are hilarious. You're outnumbered, first of all. Demographics are not in your favor. And nobody is scared of your tough talk. You're a joke!

The Byzantine empire lasted a thousand years. The Western Roman Empire started being flushed down the toilet in 181 AD, under the appropriately named Commodus, and by 476 the last Emperor was dethroned without violence: Romulus Augustulus.

JP Jones| 1.22.13 @ 11:55AM

So the cure for this is really simple.

The 50 percent who do work very hard should go on strike
stop working hard and stop paying their bills and see how fast Obama becomes a right wing nut job.

No Taxes to collect no money for the beast
no money for the beast the beast dies.

quite simple really.

Rockabilly| 1.22.13 @ 12:02PM

The thing that mystifies me about gays being the new oppressed group is as a group they are not economically deprived. They earn good money. What is wanted is social acceptance sanctioned by law and institutional redefinition. They are not oppressed as were blacks or women. They say they want marriage but what they really want is for society to look upon homosexual practices as "normal" and want to get in your face at every chance. Almost every movie, book, TV show, etc, has an obligatory gay character. One would think that gays are half of the population. It's now an obsession. Forgive me if I don't jump on this pink band wagon.

Marriage is not about the couple being married. It is about optimal protection for the children, through sublimating the male sex drive. I'm not a big fan of changing a societal institution that has done a decent job, all told, over millenia. Of course, I'm CONSERVATIVE.

Where gay marriage is allowed, there is no replacement birth rate.

Occam's Tool| 1.22.13 @ 4:32PM

Now, you understand, next of kin privileges for long term companions contained in a "civil partnership" is a different issue. But marriage goes beyond that for a reason.

JP Jones| 1.22.13 @ 12:20PM

But in all candor
and giving this a lot of thought
maybe the best thing is to legalize Gay Marriage and all other forms of sexual related styles

Yes that means everything from pedifiles
to beastiality to whatever floats your boat or blows your head.

Imagine the money we can save if we weren't busy chasing down perverts all over the place.

Sounds extreme but it will work.

It's what caused early societies to establish a code of sexual conduct in the first place.

Think about it.

The list of items on O's wish list yesterday read a prescription for the death of this society. As Will Durant said many years ago, in response to a question of what was the common thread running through all civilations just before they collapsed - the acceptance of homosexuality as just another viable life style. That is not to say anyone should be politically descriminated against.
In Rome, the Republic fell in an incredibly short period when populists gained the consulates running on platforms of redistribution of the wealth, forgiveness of private debt, and confiscation of the wealth of the productive class to fund "social programs".
However, that having been said, I am not for stocking up on the guns and ammo. We have the ability to throw a revolution every 2 years. We must either take over the Republican Party, and elect conservatives in the next primaries, or discard it entirely, and form a new, Conservative Party. If all we do is wring our hands, and buy bottled water and more ammo, what will be left will not be worth living in.

Com'on Tim. We are hardly at that point, and hopefully we won't get there. We still have a citizen army, who I do not believe will attack their fellow citizens, even at the bidding of this President. All I am saying is that rather than run around stocking up on botgtled water and ammo, we would be better served using our time and energy getting involved with our local Rep party groups, or Tea Party groups, and preparing for 2014. The battle must be fought in the primaries. If we wait for the general elections, we will be faced with the choice of the cave in artists or the Dems. We need to put forward true conservative candidates, rather than attractive wannabe's who, as soon as they are nominated are declared the next savior of the world.

Isn't that what you guys were trying to do with people like Bachmann, Palin, Santorum, and Perry?

What happened with those brainiacs?

What's wrong with Santorum? You guys are going with BIDEN in 2016. BIDEN. No doubt O will support him.
