OBAMA'S CRISIS MANAGEMENT

SPECIAL POST

"Make the enemy live up to their (sic) own book of rules," Saul Alinsky wrote in his 1989 book Rules for Radicals. When pressed to honor every word of every law and statute, every Judeo-Christian moral tenet, and every implicit promise of the liberal social contract, human agencies inevitably fall short. The system's failure to "live up" to its rule book can then be used to discredit the rules altogether and to replace the capitalist "rule book" with a socialist one.

First, we had the economic crisis.  Obama didn't create that, but his cohorts in Congress set it in motion back in the early 2000s with their aggressive home loan policies and by hiding the fact of imminent financial collapse from the public month after month until the bubble eventually burst.  After taking office, Obama went on his infamous "worldwide apology tour" and got Americans so angry they almost forgot about the economic collapse.  

 

That was followed by Obama's plan to require military vets to pay for their own war injuries, a fact he later tried to spin by saying that military vets had to have private insurance to cover they non-war-related illnesses and injuries, so the plan was to bill those companies for the V.A. treatment of war wounds.  He argued the plan wouldn't cost the vet a dime but would save the government hundreds of millions of dollars.  He neglected to mention that insurance companies would undoubtedly raise their premium rates.   

This was all followed by the healthcare crisis, Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the IRS tax scandal, the national security crisis, the Nevada BLM task force... on and on and on; it was a never-ending string of crises happening, each one manufactured specifically to get the public's mind off the previous one and to keep the Congress totally off balance.  

 

The most recent events in this parade are, in order, the rise of ISIS, the Iranian nuclear "deal," worldwide terrorist attacks, Russian invasion of the Ukraine,  the South China Sea, the threatening midget in North Korea and... transgender bathrooms.    

One only has to guess what's next: a nationwide noise abatement law that prohibits the firing of guns?  A declaration that illegals can vote for federal offices, including the presidency?  A declaration that Islam is now the national religion of the United States?  

Whatever it is, it will occur within a week or two, and Americans will predictably fall for it again and again, each time allowing Obama to get his way on the prior issues. 

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
