Obama, the Destructive Divider

Newsmax: Rep. Ryan Says Obama's Class Rhetoric Weakens America  "“You know, it’s really disappointing, actually — I don’t enjoy doing this because he gave us a message of hope three years ago, of uniting and not dividing,” Ryan said. “And what we’re getting [is] class warfare. We’re getting very polarizing rhetoric that puts class against class, pits people against one another.
"“And I would simply say sowing social unrest and class resentment does not make America stronger, it makes America weaker,” he said. “It strikes me as an ideological thing — it also is a political decision I think he’s made — he decided not to work with Congress.” "

And it will only get much worse as Obama begins the racial rhetoric, and you know he will. If he is happy to divide America along economic lines, who still thinks he won't do it along racial lines?
Academics will then pick it up and spread it among the colleges with the willing help of news media and, of course Hollywood will do its part. It is not will he, only when? Wait for it.

Victor Davis Hanson: Railing Against Reality  "Unfortunately, political leaders — unwilling to risk their careers by irking the people — have offered few explanations for the root causes of all the various unrest. Instead, they assure us that Social Security is solvent, or that pensions and wages can remain sacrosanct, or that billionaires and millionaires are alone culpable. Sometimes they exploit race and class divisions in lieu of explaining 21st-century realities."

John W. Lillpop: Obama Cavorts with "Haves" in Tinsel Town: Whither ‘Occupy Hollywood’ Vigilantes?   "In the midst of the most serious wealth gap between “Haves” and Have nots” in U.S. history, one would expect America’s self-proclaimed “Middle Class Warrior” to spend his time in venues like East Los Angeles, Watts , or perhaps Bell, where poverty and the “Have Not” status are proudly displayed as a badge of honor."
 
Another by Victor Davis Hanson: Obama’s Target List ; While calling for civility, Obama demonizes everyone in sight.

"Yet lecturing, demonizing, and caricaturing are not just symptoms of narcissism or being socially dense, but are also a revelation that Obama feels that he can say almost anything he wants, with the expectation — always borne out in the past — of few consequences."

Alan Caruba: President Kill-Joy

Warning Signs  "“We have lost our ambition, our imagination, and our willingness to do the things that built the Golden Gate Bridge,” said President Obama at a recent fundraiser in San Francisco."....
"What is the difference between those great construction projects and the building of the Freedom Tower that has now passed a decade in the effort to replace the destroyed Twin Towers? The answer is government at all levels from federal to local makes such projects difficult because of a matrix of laws and regulations, mostly environmental, that slow all enterprises in America today."

....
"I could go on but, as they say, the facts speak for themselves and, unfortunately, President Obama just keeps speaking and speaking and speaking about himself."


This is not the Democrat Party of John Kennedy. Not any more.
No....we can't.

OWS Irony of the Day: Self-Loathing in the Kitchen Serving the Lower 99% 98%

The Powers That Be  "The Occupy Wall Street volunteer kitchen staff launched a “counter” revolution yesterday — because they’re angry about working 18-hour days to provide food for “professional homeless” people and ex-cons masquerading as protesters."

Victor Davis Hanson: Obama’s Empty Apologetics

Victor Davis Hanson  "Apologizing for the sins of long-dead others, in psychological fashion, obviates the need for present contrition for one’s own personal shortcomings. For example, Obama blasts past racism, but to this day has never apologized for subsidizing, by attendance and tithes, the abject racist and anti-Semite Rev. Jeremiah Wright. It is easier for Obama to apologize for America’s action in World War II than to apologize because as an irresponsible youth (“teenage boys are frequently confused”), he used cocaine (“maybe a little blow”) — a felonious practice that has long subsidized the murderous Latin American drug cartels. To cast stones at the dead, one must first be free of sin while alive.

The Obama Bow-O-Meter:

"In short, anytime an American president offers apologies for supposed transgressions in his nation’s long distant past, it tells us more about the apologizer than it does about the purported sin."

A Hollywood Republican comments on Democrat and Republican Strategies

Democratic Strategy  "The left is doing a scorch earth campaign and this campaign will continue beyond   the election.  This campaign will be based on the 1996 Clinton re-election campaign and the 2002 California election as the Democrats will target Republicans while Republicans are vying against each other during the primary.  It will also combined the tactics of Democrats and their union allies in Wisconsin, in which protestors hit the street, unions threatens businesses to support them or else face boycotts and forced recall elections against a sitting State Supreme Court justices and Republican Senators."

 Republican Strategy for 2012  "The second thing is to move into the minority communities with a campaign that features how liberal policy has failed them. This will do two things, lower voter turnout by removing the fear of Republicans and peel a few extra votes which will prove decisive in key battleground state. The Democrat’s strategy is to design a spike campaign to try to overwhelm Republican voters in key battleground states and a proper Republican response will be instrumental in dampening this key part of Democratic strategy."

(UPDATED) PATRIOT CEO TAKES ON THE FLEA PARTY OWS

Freedom Fighter's Journal  " The long-time financial industry executive and radio host asked the protesters what they felt was a fair percentage for him to be taxed. None seemed to provide a clear answer, but were intent on telling Schiff that the Bush tax cuts need to be abolished. Schiff then attempted to explain to the demonstrators that, if the Bush tax cuts were allowed to expire, he would end up paying more than 50 percent to the government in taxes. Is “that fair?” he asked. The protesters simply stayed on course, reiterating that Schiff and all those in the “1%“ need to ”pay their fair share.”
"Schiff provides a good example of what happens when “the 99%” are confronted with legitimate questions about taxes, entrepreneurship, employment, and giving back to society."

Buncha skulls full of mush as Rush would say.

Speaking of which, lets take a look at Academia and the Flea party:  "“Economists whose recent works have decried income inequality have informed the movement’s critiques of capitalism.” They include Hardt, a professor of literature at Duke, and Antonio Negri, former professor of political science at the University of Padua. “They have anticipated some of the central issues raised by the protests,” Berrett notes. “Most recently, they linked the actions in New York and other American cities to previous demonstrations in Spain, Cairo’s Tahrir Square, and in Athens, among other places.”"
