A Lame Duck Is Still Just a Quack

Deliverance
from this incompetent, grossly arrogant, criminally ignorant administration
cannot come soon enough. Their “lame
duck” leader is proving just what a total quack he is every day. Now he is urging immediate senate ratification of
the arms treaty with Russia so that we
can monitor their arms
reductions! Calling it a “national
security imperative,” he is ignoring the call for serious study of this treaty
in much the same way that we were told we could find out what was in the health
care bill only after it was passed.
(“We’ll know if this elixir works only after you drink it and get well,”
said the quack doctor to the stupid patient.)
“We will know if the Russians are serious about reducing their nuclear
arsenals only after we ratify the treaty and destroy our own,” said the quack
to the stupid lame duck congress.
In
this article, Showdown
Over Nuke Treaty,
Obama is quoted:
"This is not a matter that can be delayed," Obama said. "Every month that goes by without a treaty means that we are not able to verify what's going on on the ground in Russia. And if we delay indefinitely, American leadership on nonproliferation and America's national security will be weakened."
Does
this mean that all of our expensive security (abc type) agencies as well as our
military no longer monitor past and present enemies? We have no way to “verify” what’s going on without
capitulation? Is that what this is all
about? I have to think that Reagan, to
whom Obama referred, would have a bit of a problem with this definition of
“verify.”
This
article goes on to say that two-thirds of the American people believe the
treaty should be ratified. That is
scarier than the “duck’s” take on it!
(Of course one would have to believe that is the case, accurately
portrayed, to be truly scared.) With
the media’s ability to define what most people think these days, we can only
assume that the truth is out there – somewhere.
Defining
moral strength as the other guy’s (US) willingness to capitulate has always
been the foremost goal of communists, just as defining safety from terrorism as
the willingness for Americans to give up personal liberties is now the goal of
Islamic terrorists – and communists alike.
This stuff is not rocket science or brain surgery – it is called common
sense!
Don’t
expect any common sense to come from the mouths or actions of this
administration.
As
far as listening to the people and what they want, well, we already know what
to expect from that one. This
administration picks and chooses whom to listen to just as they carefully pick
and choose whom to demonize. While they
lecture about the benefits of bipartisan cooperation in order to find solutions
for all our problems, they strive only for capitulation to their agenda. When they can’t get that, they simply play
the trump card. Power. The big gavel, executive order, the big sis
– all these tools of their trade employed to force their elixir down our
throats – no matter how bad it tastes or even if it will be effective.
Elections have consequences. This last one produced the lame duck, but failed to eliminate the quack.
