Audacity of Help Blog

This is from the righttruth.typepad.com blog. I definitely don’t agree with or endorse this writer’s point of view, but in the interest of free speech and ensuring that my words are not taken out of context, I am presenting it here. The idea that Obama is a fascist/socialist or is any way abusive is ludicrous. For a balanced view of the Obama economic plan, see my new book Audacity of Help.

I don’t know why I didn’t notice it sooner, it seems to obvious now. Like all addicts, Barack Obama and his administration seem to hide their affliction from others, at least for a time. But the signs are clearly there for all to see. They don’t care about the physical or emotional consequences their habit has on others or themselves. Obtaining their object of their addiction is more important to them than anything else. Their affliction is making it difficult for them to function, it is impairing their judgment to a dangerous level, to the detriment of this nation and her future.

It’s not an addiction to drugs, or alcohol, or prescription medications, and I’m not talking about Obama’s addiction to the teleprompter or his addiction to cigarettes or his Blackberry — it’s an addiction to achieving their socialist and fascist agenda. Don’t believe me? Read the definitions:

Fascism: Fascists believe that nations and/or races are in perpetual conflict whereby only the strong can survive by being healthy, vital, and by asserting themselves in conflict against the weak.[6]single-party state.[7] Fascist governments forbid and suppress criticism and opposition to the government and the fascist movement.[8] Fascism opposes class conflict, blames capitalist liberal democracies for its creation and communists for exploiting the concept.[9] In the economic sphere, many fascist leaders have claimed to support a “Third Way” in economic policy, which they believed superior to both the rampant individualism of unrestrained capitalism and the severe control of state communism.[10][11] This was to be achieved by establishing significant government control over business and labour (Mussolini called his nation’s system “the corporate state”).[12][13] No common and concise definition exists for fascism and historians and political scientists disagree on what should be in any concise definition.[14] (more)

Socialism refers to various theories of economic organization advocating state, worker or public ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and a society characterized by free and equal access to resources for all individuals with an egalitarian method of compensation.[1][2][3] Contrary to popular belief, Socialism is NOT a political system; it is an economic system distinct from capitalism.
Socialists mainly share the belief that capitalism unfairly concentrates power and wealth among a small segment of society that controls capital through exploitation, creates an unequal society, (more)

With the above definitions in mind, think about what the Obama administration has been pushing. Healthcare controlled by the government, with non-healthcare individuals serving on panels who will decide whether you are fit enough to live or die. They have taken over private companies which are not basically owed by the government. They are strictly anti-capitalistic when it comes to business. They believe in spreading the wealth (as long as it’s your wealth, not theirs).

We have been witnessing their increased irritability, agitation and anger while at times they are unusually calm and unresponsive. We’re told of regular screaming matches in the White House using vile language with members of the administration at odds with each other.

They have a lowered threshold for violence, specifically when it comes to the military, CIA, and defending this country. With the Obama followers we see similar symptoms including paranoia and delusions, however they seem to approve of violence when it suits their purposes and have no problem hiring thugs to carry out that violence.

Child abuse and neglect is much more common with addicts, which describes the Left perfectly as witnessed by their continues push to kill unborn babies and live-born babies that are not convenient for the mother — which takes neglecting a child’s basic needs (life) to the extreme.

Unlike with alcohol or drug abuse, there is no place for those hooked on fascism and socialism to go for help, even if they did recognize their problem and admit their need for help.

In the book Audacity of Help - Obama’s Economic Plan and the Remaking of America, by John F. Wasik, the author emphasizes what drives Obama is his “concept of economic equality”. Wasik says that “Fortunately, Obama is a uniquely qualified expert on economic violence” referring to Obama’s community organizing in Chicago. Wasik questions whether Obama will “…create a new form of government — guided by compassionate social capitalism otherwise known as Obamanomics?”

Addicts, when high on their drug of choice, often have visions of grandeur, seeing themselves as better than others, more qualified, on a higher level that others — perhaps with a messiah complex. They don’t want to be questioned or confronted with the truth. They believe that others are out to get them, even to the point of being paranoid.

Many times addicts inherit their addictions or are influenced by those close to them during their formative years. For many addicts there is no recovery. For the rest of us the only solution is to separate ourselves from these people. Remove them from their positions so they cannot influence others, so they cannot destroy our lives, our home, or our future. We must remove ourselves from them and them from us as quickly as possible.

I know I’ve said it before, but I’m more convinced today than ever. It’s an addiction:

Addicts know they have an addiction, they wake up in the morning with nothing else on their mind except getting their next fix, whether it’s a drink of alcohol, pills, or something they get IV or inhale. They love it, they crave it, they dwell on it, if possible they talk about it with other like-minded addicts, they surround themselves with people who share the same addiction. They are willing to sacrifice their families, their souls, their jobs, their futures …. Sound familiar?

One last comment from John Wasik: My interpretation of Obama’s agenda is that he is a compassionate social capitalist. He wants government to encourage the private sector to create jobs and programs that meet human needs. I think he’s made great strides in doing this, but those who want to call him names and smear him will only impede the country from achieving a more widespread economic recovery.
