What Next?

Robin Hood is returning. How did this happen?  

Obama’s followers are primarily Baby Boomers (protesters of the 1960’s who learned from Marx) and those they taught in our liberal institutions to be true statists. And Barak Obama has skillfully used them to begin his destruction of this once free country. Yes, he is the new Robin Hood: the champion of need - not individual rights or achievement - who robs the rich to give to the poor. He and his followers believe that the more one produces the less right he has to his rewards. This is contemptible, yet evidently accepted by half our population. 

The dangers of Obama’s ideology have fallen on their complacent and naïve ears. They fully evade the principles on which our country was founded (as I have been describing). This is the primary answer to the question above.  

Obama also benefited substantially from a fantastically biased Media who carefully disguised his lies and deceit and supported his invalid attacks on Romney. Then there are the minorities (and others) who accept the ridiculous notion that it is historically important to keep the first black President in office.  

Finally - and certainly not insignificant - is his weak opposition. The Republican Party is unwilling to accept true separation of church and state, to moderate its positions on social issues in the name of individual freedom, and (as with the Democrats) to understand and support the morality of economic freedom. 

Romney was handicapped by his party and some of his own views. But he was also too pragmatic to even consider distinguishing himself from a statist/Marxist, and he was unwilling to speak about many of the damaging actions of Obama and negative results to date of his policies.  

So what’s next? One can only conclude that Obama will continue full steam ahead. Republicans will inappropriately yield on tax hikes (in some form) while getting no real spending cuts in return. Continued slow economic growth, low productivity, further implementation of ObamaCare, costly environmental/energy policies and greater inflation will likely lead to another recession - with even higher unemployment - early in his second term. As government consumes wealth instead of enabling individuals to create it, free enterprise and individual freedom will continue to be sacrificed. And continued terrorism emanating from the Middle East will further reveal Obama’s weak foreign policy. 

Obama will tell us – as he did in 2008 - that we must now unite and work together for the collective good. But there is no such thing as the “collective good” - only what is good for individuals. And Obama has been a destroyer, not a uniter. He has temporarily destroyed the “American Dream” which can only be recaptured with proper education and a new free market, pro-individual rights President. 

Going forward, let’s evaluate current actions of the Administration, using that dream as the standard: judging each by the freedom and opportunities it offers and the individual rights it protects. Judgment according to needs met or political correctness must stop.
