Jeff Dunham is a comedian with a puppet in his show named Walter, a crotchety and irascible sort that looks remarkably like Joe Biden. The difference, of course, is that one is a dummy and the other is a vibrant character in a ventriloquist’s act, though the similarities don’t end there. In much the same way Dunham modulates and throws his voice in order to create the appearance of life in Walter, the president manipulates Joe Biden and sends him with greater frequency out to do his bidding with the hope that Biden will remember his lines.
Leadership is not a matter of licking one’s finger and sticking it into the air to see what emotional heart string might be plucked to further an aberrant agenda.
Regarding the anti-Constitutional gun ban scheme, Biden announced recently, “The president is going to act. There are executive orders, there’s executive action that can be taken. We haven’t decided what that is yet, but we’re compiling it all with the Attorney General. It’s critically important that we act.” Allow me to translate: the president has already made up his mind to sidestep Congress and the Second Amendment, he will go through the motions of making it appear he’s listening to all sides, he’ll slide in the term “new gun law” as an euphemism for confiscation, it will be the cornerstone for further encroachment on personal liberties, and he will leverage that position unabated with a master plan for disarming the country. Besides, who better to consult with than an AG proficient in illegal gun-running?
While people still naturally rue the mass shootings in Sandy Hook and Aurora, the administration, instead, has been salivating at what they regard as a political bonanza and sees an “opportunity” at last for illegal government overreach with respect to the right to own firearms, and it is doing so under flimsy statistical extrapolation that could not and would not be accepted as credible in any study, clinical or otherwise, for it is folderal to assign the actions of a few lunatics as representing the intentions of 315 million people. It is particularly hypocritical when one considers the deafening silence and shallow rationalization put forth by the president for the actions of Nidal Hasan at Ft. Hood, when he dismissed the mass murders as a “workplace incident.” If his thinking had any consistency to it, why then, did Obama not insist on implementing another executive “law” governing weapons on bases or just disarming soldiers, for after all he remains intent on neutralizing our military strength. Oh, that’s right. Major Hasan is a radical Muslim and we must not hurt the feelings of a cult bent on our destruction.
This frantic power grab Obama and Biden are peddling as necessary for our safety is transparently uncredible, for while they have moved tangentially away from the crumbling economy to pounce on what they regard as political red meat, the country is in an insolvency free-fall. It is mindful of a person whose garage is on fire and insists on not being disturbed because he’s not finished painting the kitchen.
The administration’s tact is cellophane-thin and exposed further by an adament refusal to address our porous borders where illegal entry and smuggling of weapons and other contraband is given tacit approval by Obama’s bulbous serpent at Homeland Security. Apparently, a King-Complex convinces the patient that restricting the liberty of law abiding citizens and choosing which laws to ignore or enforce is an executive perk that supersedes the Constitution, and this dissimilation demonstrates his true intentions of dividing the nation and fomenting unrest until such time it has disintegrated into mayhem. By the time that percolates to a point of overflowing he will be in a position to exercise his Final Solution, which will be to declare martial law. Hey, eliminating the right to bear arms worked for Lenin, Hitler, and Castro. Why not follow the recipe?
The Hasty Pudding Theatricals at Harvard have skewered numerous people and subjects since the 1840’s with a wide variety of spoofs and send-ups. Whether the comedy is poignant or puerile “The Pudding” has its own take on sardonicism as it mocks and puts human foibles on display. It’s called theater. Quite the opposite is occurring during this repugnant administration, because while it delusionally rationalizes its actions as noble, it advocates wildly inconsistent policies, seemingly throwing mud at the wall to see how much sticks and effectively reducing themselves to the level of a Hasty Pudding parody, no longer concerned with doing the business of The People, but instead taking a collective rectal temperature reading without The People’s consent.
Leadership does not rely on roiling emotions in constituents for the purpose of political gain and instead relies on pragmatism, shedding political expediency by creating an environment of true opportunity for others, yet this administration runs on a toxic fuel that is designed to enhance its position of power and omnipotency as opposed to encouraging achievement. Umbilical cords are severed after birth for a reason, so to watch the social experimentation of trying to reattach them falls under the category of weird science among other less savory descriptions. Leadership is not a matter of licking one’s finger and sticking it into the air to see what emotional heart string might be plucked to further an aberrant agenda. Fanning the flames of discontent among those who know not the source of government largesse or are informed enough to realize there is no way it can continue is a plot and not a plan, for it persists on feeding the parasitic element that gnaws away at the country’s core and cannot be sustained.
Anti-Americanism is the hallmark of this administration, and the more vociferously a cabinet member or nominee expresses similar discontent, the more they are favored by this president. John Kerry’s dubious background and outspoken tirades against the military should be automatic disqualifiers for Secretary of State, though it made his stock rise in the eyes of Mr. Obama. Chuck Hagel might have served in Viet Nam but in no way does that overcome his ongoing anti-Israel proclivities and should preclude him from serious consideration. Mr. Obama has appointed Muslim, Rashad Hassain, as his special envoy to the radical Islamic Conference based in Saudi Arabia, retained as his speech writer a woman named Dalia Mogahed, who not only heads the President’s Advisory Council for Faith Based Neighborhood Partnerships but advocates Sharia law in lieu of our Constitution. He keeps as another close advisor Sami al-Arian, a Muslim professor who believes strongly the Saudi justice system is morally superior to Western law, and meanwhile, Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff is Huma Abedin and she and family members remain active in the Muslim Brotherhood.
Charges of treason or demands for impeachment would have been leveled if FDR added Nazi’s or Japanese to his staff during WWII or subsequent presidents included avowed Communists as advisors during the Cold War, so why is Congress in freeze-frame while the president flaunts his anti-American predilections?
