A friend went to hear Charles Krauthammer. He listened with 25 others in a closed room. What he says here, is NOT 2nd-hand but 1st hand. Pass this along to EVERYBODY that loves his country. The ramifications are staggering for us and our children.
To my Friends & Associates:
Last Monday was a profound evening, hearing Dr. Charles Krauthammer
speak to the Center for the American Experiment. He is brilliant
intellectual, seasoned & articulate.. He is forthright and careful in
his analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is
NOT a fear monger nor an extremist in his comments and views. He is a
fiscal conservative, and has a Pulitzer prize for writing. He is a frequent contributor 20 to Fox News and writes weekly for the Washington Post. The entire room was held spellbound during his talk. I have shared this with many of you and several have asked me to summarize his comments, as we are living in uncharted waters economically and internationally. Even 2 Democrats at my table agreed with everything he said! If you feel like forwarding this to those who are open minded and have not 'drunk the Kool-Aid', feel free.
A summary of his comments:
1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not
to be underestimated. He is a 'cool customer' who doesn't show his
emotions. It's very hard to know what's 'behind the mask'. Taking
down the Clinton dynasty from a political neophyte was an amazing
accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit them.
Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.
2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton. He
has a way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing with your
position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he SAYS;
rather, watch what he DOES!
3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to
Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything,
including dismantling capitalism. He can't be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along. He has a heavy hand, and wants to 'level the playing field' with income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society. He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada.
4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUB LIC EDUCATION, &
NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn't care about
the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an early bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle growth. Paying for FREE college education is his goal. Most scary is his healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada. God forbid.
5. He's surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types. No
one around him has ever even run a candy store. But they're going to try
and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This obviously
can't work in the long run. Obama's not a socialist; rather he's a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolutio n. He ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what he does, not what he says.
6. Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the United
States, but more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all,
trying to orchestrate & coordinate various countries and their agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America, as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors. This is the first President ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!
7. He's now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (a nd pain)
will not 'come due' until after he's reelected in 2012. He'd like to blame
all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his successor in the
future. He has a huge ego, and Mr. Krauthammer believes he is a
narcissist.
8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong. We're 'pining' for another Reagan, but there'll never be another like him. Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in February) are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent, but is she to be a serious candidate in the future. We need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense, and states' rights.
9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous.
We're spending trillions that we don't have. This could lead to hyper
inflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves
into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass
because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due
and people will realize the huge bailouts didn't work, nor will the stimulus package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama's allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.
10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers
failed. fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war
was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people are in
pain, and the mantra of 'change' caused people to act emotionally.
Any Democrat would have won this election; it was surprising it was as close as
it was.
11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will
be swept back i nto power. If it's under 8%, the Democrats continue to roll.
If it's between 8-10%, it'll be a dogfight. It'll all be about the economy.
I hope this gets you really thinking about what's happening
in Washington and Congress. There's a left-wing revolution going on,
according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and
join the loyal resistance. The work will be hard, but we're right on
most issues and can reclaim our country, before it's far too late.
People, we can no longer sit back and trust. We have to take action.
Join something and become politically active. Your future is at
stake. US taxpayers are now in a minority. But, we DO pay the bills. You DO
have power. Exercise it.
