Allow me to first of all explain that I am neither a conspiracy theorist nor a nut.  I am a common man and a conservative.  However, I keep having this crazy thought.  Is Obama the next great dictator?  Bear with me here, I don't necessarily mean in the vein of a Hitler or a Stalin.  Lord knows that Obama would not know what to do with a military if he had ten generals telling him.  I mean in a pop culture, cultish fashion. Maybe you think that I am going off the deep end, and maybe I am, but here are a few clues to examine.

 

     The first is the fanatical following of this man.  I have been involved in politics since the 1992, when I refused to go see Bill Clinton, when he came to my hometown, and voted for George Bush Sr.  So while I am younger that most "politically minded people" I have been around the block a bit.  While working on President Bush's reelection campaign in 2004 I met a great deal of people.  I can honestly say that the people I met truly believed in their candidate, but were amiable to those who disagreed.  Even the people supporting the other ticket, while a little nutty, were usually agreeable.  Fast forward to the present, everywhere you look you see Obamanites.  These are people who are willing to do anything to get this man elected.  From registering the dead, which is not new, to forcing Ohio to allow unregestered people to vote, there is truly an Obama mania.  I guess that there are several factor in the fascination.  One is obvious, and I will say it, he is not white.  While it would be racist not to vote for a man based on his color, in today's electorate, it is encouraged to vote for a man because of his color.  I would guess that a good portion of the people being bussed in to vote for Obama, have no clue what he is really for.  They do know that he is mostly black. Another factor is the WIFM, What's In It For Me, way of doing business.  Obama has promised programs that he will never get through Congress and never be able to pay for, yet people are lined up to vote based on those false promises.  Lastly, he draws a good crowd, evidenced by his Hitleresque speech in Denver.  He could have literally given his speech in Pig Latin and the crowd would have cried.  He is the messiah of the people who lack the confidence or intelligence to be their own person.

 

     Fanaticism is a close friend of idolatry.  I recently drove past the local Obama headquarters, and my eyeballs about popped out of my head, On the door, instead of the obligatory campaign sign, was painted a four foot bust of Obama.  This brought me back to the times that I had watched historical accounts of Nazi Germany, Stalinist Russia, or Saddam's Iraq.  It seems that cultish personalities like to see themselves as large than life.  Then came the news that school children were devising songs to sing in praise of Obama as part of a visit.  It was also recently reported that teacher union memebers would wear blue to support Obama while on the job, while not exactly brownshirts still a little disturbing.  Perhaps the most disturbing is the way that the media is now in goosestep with him.  One of the basic tenants of a free society is a free press.  There are constitutional protections against governmental oppression of the press, however their is no protection against a rogue press that suppresses news that is unfavorable to certain entities. 

 

     I will summarize by saying this, liberals in this nation see the constitution as a living and changing thing.  It is also possible that if elected, Obama would appoint very liberal judges to the Supreme Court.  These judges would then be confirmed by a liberal Senate.  Then suppressions like the Fairness Doctrine would disallow contrary opinion by us.  As the Supreme court "interprets" the constitution to mean what they wish, we could see major governmental intrusions into all of our lives.  After all the Constitution says who votes, how long terms are, how laws are written.  Are we a few steps away from losing our way? Will it be now, I do not know.  It is time to take the offensive and save our nation.
