We've Figured Him Out

By Ben Stein on 7.24.09 @ 9:45AM

Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed?

Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:

The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008. They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.

They ignored his anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.

They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student. They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer," Illinois state legislator, and Senator.

The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.

Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future.

The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans.

Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.

The American people already know that Mr. Obama's plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never will be -- a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes away.

These are perilous times. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State, has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home in health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives to "protect us" from global warming, itself largely a fraud if believed to be caused by man.

Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms.

There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America.

I think ol Ben has summed it up pretty well.

Thanks Olger...I'm 100% in harmony.... It is time to Stand UP! If we don't stand up soon, we won't be able to...

[phkrause]

Olger thanks for the post. But you do know that no matter who is in office, be it the demos or the repubs, this country is headed to where the Bible says it will. The party in office is not the only problem, the other party is in on it to, there just not going to let anyone know. Just as the Romans were destroyed from the inside, such will be the fate of our beloved America. It would not have matter even if McCain had won, it still would have been pretty much the same. This downward spiral started long ago not just with Obama and it will continue. I'm ready, these is what we have been waiting for, the coming of our Lord and Saviour. Its time, the world is not going to get better any time soon.

Deep, deep delusions in pretty much every sentence. Sounds to me like he needs those blessings...

[Dr. Shane]

I am wondering if Ben Stein really said all that. I know he is a conservative Jew but some of that seems almost a bit conspiratorial.

[Neil D]

Ben Stein is as droll in his politics as his voice is for Murine....Why is there this need to scare america with exaggerated negative claims? And if this thread gets moved to politics, I will not participate...Which maybe a good thing.....[wry smile]

('droll' means funny, 'dull' means boring)

('droll' means funny, 'dull' means boring)

My mistake....I thought it refered to the attitude of dull, boring...Apparently, it doesn't....but the thought still came across....

[Bravus]

It's a common mistake to make - I think it's an antionomatopoeia (!). That is, a word that sounds like the opposite of what it means.

[Neil D]

And here I thought it was just my Alzhimers kicking in again....

Alzheimers is not always all bad. It can do a lot for some.
