Fluff And Buff

I watched and listened to the events that occured in Washington DC January 20. Many tears were shed by the devotees of Barry Soetoro, a mixture of true believers and useful idiots. I shed a couple myself.

My reason is different than those others. I'm sad that on a day that should be a truly great day, it is a hollow echo. The joy that should be felt for a first black President is soured by the sham this event was. It was more a liberal parody of such a happening.

We should be celebrating triumph of American humanity over injustice. We should be witnessing a chief example of E Pluribus Unum. We should have someone who values Freedom and the Founder's intent for a Constitutional Republic. We do not. It's more of the same with a new 'coloring'. It gives us style vs substance, fluff and not buff.

First, there were numerous references to our being a democracy. Unfortunately, that is becoming all too true. However, we are still nominally a Constitutional Republic, and will be again. The aim of the parade of traitors I saw Tuesday, is just the opposite. A cruel oligarchy is in the works and well on its way.

Next, BO's first words were 'My fellow citizens'. What became of 'my fellow Americans'? Citizen implies owing allegiance to a 'state'. That further gives way to citizen of what? It could be of the world or the western hemisphere for instance. We have gone from a particular and singular term to a watered down label that lends itself well to democracy.

It contradicts the Presidential Oath of Office, "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." The contradiction is simply the implication that we are merely units of society and that individuality is deemphasized.

The inaugural address in general gives that very feeling of fluff and not buff. It hits tiny 'ups' that seem to ring true. Mostly, it waters down individuality and that particular drive that made us great. It offers no solution nor comfort as to reestablishing same. Also, those ups are already being contradicted. I predict that BO and his gang will say one thing and do another, or be so vague that any interpretation can and will be applied. Like the constant 'assurance' that the libs respect and defend the 2A, their efforts obviously contravene and subvert.

I will leave it to the pundits to dissect the speech bit by bit if they wish. read it yourself and decide what it says. I'd rather we all did this and not be dependent on others. Is that not the essence of our Republic?

My son heard it at school. He caught himself feeling that some of BO's words made sense. They made him briefly feel like all would be well. Then he applied his critical thinking and listened. He became aware that BO was causing with seeming platitudes, an actual discomfort with the system as is. His constant ascription that change is coming denotes further altering of the original intent of the Founders. It is evolution according to this light worker. Indeed, it is a false light.

I myself tried an experiment re the speech. I stopped thinking and just listened. I let it happen, just feeling. I felt warm fuzzies. Then I discarded what appears to be the general way people respond to this usurper. My conclusion was similar to my son's. Past the occasional 'good thought' was the promise of erosion and reshaping of the original matrix of Freedom to something unrecognizable. Further tearing down and reinterpreting the 'living Constitution' as the libs call it is going to continue as it has for decades. It is what it is.

Singsong falsity does not cut it. We must be specific and demand specifics from our employees, though most of them no longer think of themselves that way. They are our saviors, in that delusion that subs for a mind amongst them. We owe them big time so they believe and their actions bear this out.

What we 'owe' our wouldbe masters is to oppose them in all ways at all levels. We owe it to ourselves and the future of the Republic to hammer them with truth ceaselessly. We must prepare and instill in our children the clear thinking and individual hunger for Freedom that is our heritage from our forebears.

The choice is clear. Either we settle into the increasing chains being offered or to make our future free. We settle for fluff in a dream becoming nightmare. Or, we wake ourselves and others with that lean buffed arm that smashes this tyranny.

I believe that our new President will lead us from the darkness to the light. You are the one not thinking. Are you so jealous of his success that have nothing better to do than try to tear him down. That's laughable.

i don't disagree, but i also find this true for essentially any politician. you can even nitpick reagan on spending and interpret the same situation from your words. the bottom line is, all words are subject to interpretation.

in my opinion, there ought not need be vast and haughty descriptions of government, because that is what you get, in the end: a vast number of haughty, but individually small and weak, tyrants.
