My Thoughts On Sean Hannity Show "The Hope and The Change"

By Semperpapa

I watched the Sean Hannity show last night called "The Hope and The Change" during which Hannity presented a documentary featuring several individuals who, in 2008, voted for Obama and have been so disillusioned that they will vote against him in the next elections.

It is all well and fine, making me feel good about the fact that there are people in America who are finally opening their eyes and seeing the truth for what it is. It gives me hope that there are folks out there in this country who are willing to admit their mistake and try to make it right next November.

But then there is a certain sense of rage that took over my thoughts, as I listened to each of the participant.

One black gentleman was adamant on his rejection of the idea that the government would reach into his pocket to take what he worked for and give it to those who did not.
Interestingly, the purpose of re-distribution that the man was rejecting was one of the issues Obama campaigned on, so the idea that the man has changed his mind based on the "surprise" factor is preposterous.
Moreover, the man is a minister and he clearly stated that he now rejects Obama for his newly acquired stand on same sex marriage. Now that would be a "surprise."
What I gathered from the man's statements is that he was caught in the lies and propaganda Obama fed the masses and cast his vote based on those lies and on the president's skin color, also admitting that having grown up in a family of Democrats, the idea of voting other than Democrat was absurd.
Personally, I see this as a typical example of how years of divisive propaganda have netted a whole group of people who just follow the "leader" blindly without any personal thought. Liberal slavery.

Another man, a white man, who admitted growing up in a household with a Republican father and a Democrat mother, declared himself an independent. He stated that he too did not really ask himself the correct questions regarding what Obama really was after, but got caught in the moment of the facade of unity and cooperation and compromise that Obama sold the people, even if his past demonstrated exactly the opposite. Hannity did not ask, but it would have been interesting to find out if wanting to be part of the election of the first black president played a role in the man's decision.

A woman was incensed at the lies she had bought into and she was very frightened by the economic conditions brought about by the Obama policies. She even mentioned the fact that her daughter is about to lose her home.
While my heart goes out to those who are so impacted by the economic disaster, the impression I got from the woman is that she was upset about the way her personal life, and her family's, was affected.
I understand fully that each one of us represents a sliver of the big pie and that we are prone to analyze facts according to our individual experiences. On the other hand, while the economic downturn has affected me in a major way, I still was able to remain employed. What I am trying to say is that while affected, I was not devastated by Obama's incompetence and socialist radicalism. And yet I rejected the "vision" of the man way before he even got the nomination in 2008. Basically, it is not just about me and how I am impacted, but it is about an entire Nation and people.
I have seen Obama's types of policies at work and they are dangerous.

Ultimately, the next election is probably the most important for the future survival of our Nation as a free Constitutional Republic. No two ways about it.
Couple of days ago, radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh made a statement on his program that said he believes the country can survive another Obama term, but that the country cannot survive the fact that there are so many who want to keep Obama in power.
While I understand the entertainment aspect of Rush's statement, I only agree with it in part. I am convinced that our country will not survive another Obama term. At least not as the free Nation we all love.
As far as the percentage of people who will still vote for him, it is just like the woman on the Hannity show was demonstrating: they will vote for him because Obama is giving them free stuff, be it welfare or unreasonable unemployment insurance or whatever else.

One of the major victories the liberal progressive have scored against America is the creation of entire blocks of population that either does not believe in the exceptionalism of America or they just plain reject it.
The left has succeeded in convincing, more like brainwashing, the American people into believing that the only way to have a "fair" society is to have the government run every aspect of it.
The part I find most disturbing is how many people in America today are more than willing to relinquish personal freedom and self determination and self reliance in order to get that free government check.

Example of this is Obamacare. It has been qualified by every respectable economist as the largest tax increase in our history and even by Chief Justice Roberts in his treasonous decision.
The left has sold it to the American people as a fair legislation, but nobody really knew what was in it. As the provisions kick in, many are realizing that it is a scam of gigantic proportions.
Those who still support it, be it for ignorance or ideology, will sooner rather than later find out the real meaning of it when the government will have the power to decide who gets that heart transplant and who doesn't; who get cancer treatment and who does not qualify according to arbitrary guidelines.
Unfortunately, many still have the mind set as the woman on the Hannity show: outrage comes only after one is personally affected, or a family member is impacted, than we all get upset.

In our history, Americans have come together in times of emergency. Prior to December 7, 1941, America was bitterly divided on intervening in another European war, with isolationists in the great majority. When attacked, the country united in the response. Even if on a smaller scale, the same happened after September 11, 2001, although much more short lived thanks to the forces of the anti American left.

In final analysis, the reasons behind people epiphanies are irrelevant, as long as the outcome is a positive one.
Why someone is disillusioned about the disaster Obama has brought upon our Nation is not as important as the significance of coming together in a time of extreme dire. The danger Obama represents for America and our way of life and our freedom is just as pronounced as it was represented by Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan or radical Islam. You may think comparing Obama to such evil is over the line, but I am not comparing the man, just his ideology. And I still have a First Amendment right!

Just my thoughts!
