American Caliph

President Hussein prepares for the new world caliphate. Here is part of a speech carried to the Islamic word on Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabyia. To those with ears, let them hear.

The United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. In fact, our partnership with the Muslim world is critical … in rolling back a fringe ideology that people of all faiths reject.

The president of 53 percent of Americans must fondly recall how Muslims across the globe danced with glee when our towers fell. Perhaps Hussein danced as well.

America’s relationship with the Muslim world cannot and will not be based on opposition to al Qaida…We seek broad engagement based upon mutual interests and mutual respect.

What sort of “mutual interests” is Hussein speaking of? Perhaps Hussein speaks of the elimination of Israel or the pouring of American wealth into the coffers of Islamic oil nations.

We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over so many centuries to shape the world for the better, including my own country.

Islam has “shaped the world for the better”? That will be news for those untold hundreds of millions who have lived under it since Mohammed walked the earth. Islam has “shaped America for the better”? In what way? In what fields? Inventions? Medicines? Political theory? How many patents have been granted to Islamic nations in the past 50 years?

Ecce Homo

I almost laugh—almost—when reading conservative complaints about Obama’s programs. Their grumbles center on statements such as this: “It is quite obvious Obama’s stimulus package will fail. All such massive government spending has failed. All it will lead to is inflation, higher taxes, higher unemployment, a ruined middle class, more government dependents and more and more of the economy taken over by the state. Therefore, the plan cannot work. Why doesn’t Obama know these things?”

Dear conservatives: He does know them. They are the real goals of his program, the main objective of which is to force all Americans into the tender mercies of the all-encompassing State. The proper term for such an economic and political program is called ‘fascism.’ Of course Obama does not say this, but who but an utter dupe or absolute fool believes anything the man says?

Some other silly thing conservatives are prattling about: “Obama is an obvious failure. Look at the distractions of his inauguration, his cabinet appointees, and his foreign policy missteps.”

A ‘failure’? He has been the most dizzyingly successful president in our nation’s history. Everything he wanted he got—and with no opposition to speak of. It took Reagan months of cajoling, politicking and speech making to get only a part of his program—and he would have failed had he not been shot.

Obama has effectively dismantled the entire constitutional basis of our republican government, opened up the economy to the socialization of health care, set the stage for a radical overthrow on the 2nd Amendment, laid the groundwork to re-institute the ‘Fairness Doctrine’ to squelch dissent, moved the US Census into the White House to control the 2010 redistricting of political parties and so reduce the Republican Party into irrelevancy, tremendously expanded abortions overseas, put in place a cadre of anti-Semites to pressure Israel, moved to normalize relations with the terror regimes of Syria and Iran and began the gradual end of American law so as to replace it with international law emerging from the UN.

Obama accomplished all of this in two weeks. He did it with a mere stroke of the pen. If this is a ‘failure’ then what would an Obama success look like?

To those who have kept an eye on this creature none of this is at all remarkable. We saw it coming, though many of us thought he could never make it to the presidency. Not in this country. Not with his radical Marxist background. Not here. No way. Quite impossible.
