There are people out there that believe some really ridiculous things about Obama and his presidency. Let's just say that I live in South Carolina and I hear plenty of crazy things. Things from "Obama wants to take our guns away" to " Obama supported the Benghazi terrorists".
The last straw hit me today when my father sent me this
video.
The story is just dumb and mildly annoying, but the mini-rant this "wild Bill" guy goes on is insane. And then the comments on that page turn the sanity level down to zero.
So can anybody on GAF tell me where these misguided conspiracies are coming from? Why to conservatives think Obama is trying to turn America into a Socialist, Muslim nation?
Here are some examples of what these whack-o crazies believe:
But the fact remains that more than half of the population is dependent on the other half or another way to put it, our tax dollars. The working citizenry, those who actually produce wealth, simply cannot afford to keep paying for an increasing number of non-producing citizens. There is no way possible but the liberals want to keep passing legislation or issuing executive orders to implement more and more government handout programs (ie. Obamaphones). Under the Presidents FY13 budget proposal, means-tested (welfare) spending would increase an additional 30 percent over the next four years.
This is totally false as far as I can tell. Why do people believe this?
..his Marxist ideology guides his decision-making on other issues.
What issues? Examples?
Obamacare asserts federal control over health care benefits and financing, establishes a complex one-size-fits-all health system, and centralizes America's health care decisions in Washington. Obamacare was a power grab disguised and promoted as a heart-felt effort for Nannybama to take care of the unfortunate masses who have been suffering under the existing system. Yes, the existing system needs fixing but not taken over and managed by federal bureaucrats currently comprised of left-leaning, pro-abortion, liberals appointed by Odumber.
There are bound to be some losers and loopholes in the new system, but this is crazy-talk, right?
he continues in his efforts for wealth redistribution and it will hit you one day.
huh? What bill was that?
slick maneuver to increase spending. Why does he want us to go bankrupt? Why does he say We dont have a spending problem, we have a healthcare problem? Why did he say share the wealth?
He wants the US to go bankrupt?
Of course Obama is bent on the destruction of the US and the American way of life. That is what his "fundamental transformation of America" is. You can't transform something fundamentally without destroying its essence. If the essence isn't destroyed, it isn't fundamentally different.
In looking at Obummers statements, upbringing, family, friends and associates and their beliefs, it is obvious that this man does not have traditional mainstream American values. He defies the constitution, the constituency, congress, and the American citizens.
Defies the constitution??!! How so?
However, there is one program where increases has been phenomenal, food stamps. This is not due to any action to increase spending in this area but due to a failed stimulus caused by Obamas economic illiteracy and implementation of the discredited Keynsian economic theory. Unemployment and the number of people who have given up looking for work (could it be that unemployment benefits are so good that it is better than working?).
he does not believe in our current system of government. This is evidenced by his disregard of the constitution. He seems to be preparing for a total revamping of the US and to counter the civil unrest that would create, he is arming the Homeland Security forces with heavy armament, billions of rounds of ammunition, armored vehicles, etc. There are no facts behind this assumption so dont ask for them, only my observations leading to logical conclusions. In his directive on Homeland Security it states as one of the goals How to ensure a seamless capability within the White House to coordinate planning for the Federal Government's response to domestic incidents of all kinds;
This could remind some of the creation of Germanys SS.
Regarding Benghazi:
arranging the provision to the jihadists rebels with arms & supplies, most probably. The predominant theory I have heard is that this was supposed to be a kidnap and rescue of the ambassador with no resistance. However, contrary to orders, some did resist and killed many terrorists. This angered them and things just got out of hand. Maybe there were spies and informants there. Was it better to let them fall into the hands of the jihadists or rescue them?
Sorry for the length and range of topics. But if anyone wants to jump in here, it's much appreciated.
