    Default Spiritual Leader II





    Beto O’Rourke’s campaign will emulate the fraud’s Hope & Change rhetoric —— long on moral guidance, short on details:





    Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Charles Caleb Colton






    O’Rourke took lessons from a master liar. Before you fall for O’Rourke remember how Obama won two elections preaching morality to idiots. You might also remember that everything the lying sack of shit did has to be undone by pragmatic presidents governing a free people:




    Whenever O’Rourke does talk about a policy he wraps it in a moral precept. Climate change garbage is a case in point. It is easy enough to mow down O’Rourke’s ridiculous claims with a dose of economic reality:

    It is not so easy to dispute O’Rourke’s moral guidance when the MSM pushes the same garbage. Indeed, the MSM requires spiritual leaders governing this country in order to tighten the parasite class’ grip on the public purse.

    O’Rourke has a tough row to hoe. Cherokee Warren and Kamala Harris have a lock on women, while most of his opponents are employed as senators, governors, or well-known like Joe Biden, while he, O’Rourke, is a hustler looking for a job. (Obama was a sitting senator.)

    Finally, the spiritual leader gig might get the nomination, but it only works for black Americans in the general election. The Chicago sewer rat pulled it off, while:

    Bottom line: Every Democrat, black, white, and everybody in-between has to include moral horse manure in their campaign schemes because not one of their policies can stand on its own merits.

    You certainly have NO insight into human behavior. Trump hates Obama with a consuming passion because he is envious. Trump is insecure and has believed he was a loser all his life. He has always .. for 40 years.. whined about being treated unfairly by a system rigged against him.

    Contrast Trump's bragging, lying and personal attacks with Obama's behavior..

    Contrast Trump's 3 failed marriages and idiot offspring with Obama's daughters.

    Exactly.

    People like Flanders have the same insecurities as Trump. On some level, they realize they are inferior...and they lash out at their betters.

    I already stated what I thought.

    Trump's hatred concealed around the WH press corp dinner.. after he'd spent several years claiming Obama was born in Kenya and his "investigators" were in Hawaii getting the goods on him.

    Didn't you know exactly what sort of man Trump was by then?

    To kudzu: You learned nothing since we posted on another board in 2009. You still try to sound intelligent defending Obama with nonsense. Let me give you a lesson in envy and human behavior:

    Individual liberties do not flow from those who have them to those who do not have them. Emily Brontë (1818–48) had it exactly right when she had Heathcliff say:

    “The tyrant grinds down his slaves and they don’t turn against him, they crush those beneath them.”

    Crush them is exactly what Obama preaches to his faithful. His deep, inbred, envy provides the tool for oppression: COMMUNISM/SOCIALISM.

    Ms. Brontë describing the mechanics of envy could have been written for Obama. The slaves envy the master, but they punish those who are even weaker because the slaves dream about becoming objects of envy themselves. That is why Obama always talks about himself.

    Envy will always insist that slavery for all is better than freedom for some. That unwritten rule is the foundation for every government’s authority. In short: Endless oppression by an omnipotent government.

    History shows that on those rare occasions when freedom was wrested from the oppressors, the process of destroying that freedom begins with envy and ends in the halls of government. Obama proved it more than any other politician. Just look at American private sector freedoms and you will see the blueprint in motion. Americans were most free on December 16, 1791.

    Obama is the most envious man on the planet Everything he said and did in his adult life appeased the envy that has been eating his soul since he was a child. Every word he ever uttered was designed to punish a free people. Worse still, his governing philosophy is convincing his sick followers that envy is the way to get everything they desire.

    Incidentally, the Roman Catholic Church has a list of seven deadly sins established by Pope Gregory the Great in the 6th century: Anger, envy, gluttony, greed, lust, pride, and sloth.

    In eight years President Obama unleashed anger on the country.

    Gluttony is identified by obesity; hence, eat less in order to feed the starving masses more.

    Communism’s priesthood offers utopia by promising to eliminate greed.

    Perverted lust becomes a virtue in Obama’s Utopia.

    Pride in one’s self is a curse to Communists and must be eliminated for the common good.

    Sloth pays the lazy under Communism. (Socialist parasites get paid for not working.)

    Envy is the most destructive sin of all because envy is the foundation for every government’s authority. Communist liars like Obama strengthen that one at every opportunity.

    Move the cursor to 1:45





    “It is a fact, that we can change human behavior without much change to our lifestyle.”

    Does Kamala Harris’ plan for changing human behavior include abolishing all seven deadly sins or just a few? In any event she has to clear her changes with God —— or the Pope.

    NOTE: If Krazy K does not change human behavior in every human being she cannot claim success, or maybe she only wants to change human behavior in every American?




    I do have another question for the moron. Will your change be permanent?

His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Jeez, the Chicago sewer rat broke his own record for talking about himself in a single speech:

    Here’s the breakdown of his personal pronoun use (based on a rush transcript of the event):

    “I” — 312

    “Me” — 33

    “My” — 43

    “I’d” — 9

    “I’m” — 61

    “Myself” — 9


    The former president’s comments began on his favorite topic: himself.

    “It’s been over ten years since I spoke to a slightly larger crowd in front of the Victory Column when I was running for president,” Obama said to a notably quiet crowd. “I had a little less gray hair then. And since then I’ve been back to Germany I think at least ten times. I’ve been to Europe countless times. But I’m as excited to be here with you as I have been ever when I’ve come to Europe.”

    To Bill: You apparently prefer a moron who says stupid things in perfect English:

    Just an update and refresher. President Obama has made several major blunders over the years. The following are arguably his top 15 gaffes thus far.

    1) ….ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.

    “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.”

    Regarding a Kansas tornado that killed 12 people

    2) “I’ve now been in 57 states — I think one left to go.”

    During a campaign event in Beaverton, Oregon.

    3) It’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns…

    “It’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”

    Obama trying to explain why he has difficulty winning over some working-class voters.

    4) Fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today.

    “On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors its unbroken line of fallen heroes — and I see many of them in the audience here today — our sense of patriotism is particularly strong.”

    5) Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s

    “Let me be absolutely clear. Israel is a strong friend of Israel’s. It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under a McCain…administration. It will be a strong friend of Israel’s under an Obama administration. So that policy is not going to change.”

    Spoken while visiting Amman, Jordan on July 22, 2008.

    6) The middle east is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries.

    “The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries.”

    Said while in Tampa, FL on Jan. 28, 2010.

    7) Says that grandmother …is a typical white person…

    “The point I was making was not that Grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn’t. But she is a typical white person, who, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn’t know, you know, there’s a reaction that’s been bred in our experiences that don’t go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way, and that’s just the nature of race in our society.”

    8) Nope, [mc_name name=’Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)’ chamber=’senate’ mcid=’M000303' ] has not talked about my Muslim faith…

    “What I was suggesting — you’re absolutely right that [mc_name name=’Sen. John McCain (R-AZ)’ chamber=’senate’ mcid=’M000303' ] has not talked about my Muslim faith…”

    In an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, who jumped in to correct Obama by saying “your Christian faith,” which Obama quickly clarified.

    9) I’m here with the Girardo family here in st. Louis.

    “I’m here with the Girardo family here in St. Louis.”

    While speaking to the Democratic National Convention via satellite, while in Kansas City, Missouri. (August 25, 2008)

    10) A term in Austrian does not exist…

    “It was also interesting to see that political interaction in Europe is not that different from the United States Senate. There’s a lot of — I don’t know what the term is in Austrian, wheeling and dealing.”

    Confusing German with a language that does not exist–”Austrian.” (Strasbourg, France, April 6, 2009)

    11) Obama frequently appears to have no idea what goes on…with his own campaign or presidency.

    “We don’t have the technical capacity to create something like that. It’s pretty extraordinary.”

    Obama, denying that a YouTube video mocking Hillary Clinton was created by his campaign staff.

    “Two days later, the ‘Apple 1984 ad’ spoof was revealed to be the creation of a political operative employed by a firm overseeing technology for Obama’s campaign. The Obama campaign later said it ‘had no knowledge and had nothing to do with the creation of the ad,’ and the creator was fired.”

    12) “The reforms we seek would bring greater competition, choice, savings and inefficiencies to our health care system.”

    Said following a health care roundtable with physicians, nurses and health care providers in Washington, D.C. (July 20, 2009)

    13) via HuffPo:

    “This week, President Barack Obama put himself in an awkward position with America’s ally, Poland, when he erroneously referred to World War II-era Nazi concentration camps in Nazi-occupied Poland as ‘Polish.’ How should a world leader move ahead after he makes a blunder? And how should allies handle such situations on the world stage to avoid turning a minor faux pas into a major international incident?

    ‘The reference to a “death camp in Poland” as “Polish death camp” is really nothing more than sloppy grammar, a misplaced effort to economize by saying in three words that which should take four,’ observes the University of Denver’s Christopher Hill, a former U.S. ambassador to Poland. ‘But in Poland, there is persistent and understandable anxiety that many people in the world whose understanding of history is not what it should be, actually believe that Poles were somehow willing accomplices to German Nazis.’

    Obama’s gaffe occurred on May 29th, when he was presenting the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation’s highest civilian honor — posthumously to WWII Polish-resistance officer Jan Karski (who died in 2000). Obama noted that Karski’s fellow resistance fighters ‘smuggled him into the Warsaw Ghetto and a Polish death camp behind enemy lines to witness the atrocities firsthand.’”

    14) President Obama’s admission in an August, 2014 press conference that “we don’t have a strategy yet” for a broader confrontation with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria is a major problem for the White House.

    15) Obama makes two significant foreign policy blunders.

    via Breitbart:

    “President Obama has made two major gaffes so far during his Europe trip. After falsely claimed that Kosovo held a UN-assisted referendum on self-determination, he then wrongly said that Georgia was not being considered for NATO membership.

    Speaking on Kosovo yesterday, Obama said : ‘…Kosovo only left Serbia after a referendum was organised not outside the boundaries of international law, but in careful cooperation with the United Nations and with Kosovo’s neighbours. None of that even came close to happening in Crimea.’

    But none of it came close to happening in Kosovo either, as Milos Subotic, the International Relations Officer of the University of Pristina, Kosovo told Breitbart London.

    ‘During his yesterday speech in Brussels, President Obama showed a lack of knowledge of the political situation in Kosovo. Kosovo never organised any kind of referendum, but the Assembly of Provisional Institutions of self-government of Kosovo made a unilateral declaration of independence on February 17th 2008.

    ‘The declaration of independence has been recognised by approximately one hundred states, however Serbia and many countries have also showed their opposition to declaration of independence, most notably China and Russia. What Kosovo did was not in line with United Nations and that’s confirmed by the fact that Kosovo is not member of UN.’”

    The basic test of freedom is perhaps less in what we are free to do than in what we are free not to do. It is the freedom to refrain, withdraw and abstain which makes a totalitarian regime impossible. Eric Hoffer

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Envy is the most destructive sin of all because envy is the foundation for every government’s authority.

    Anne Hendershott’s piece about envy is worth reading. I have one addition. The XVI Amendment should be called the ENVY AMENDMENT. No government in history ever did more for envy than Socialists/Communists did when they implemented the XVI Amendment (implemented —— never ratified).
