How Can You Even Think Of Voting For Obama

By Semperpapa

This was the question I kept on asking four years ago, when I could see the bad picture on the wall and was so frustrated that the majority of the American people continued to remain absolutely ignorant about the reality of who they wanted to cast their vote for. The purposely or because of laziness, avoided even listening to the facts.

But the question remains today, as a matter of fact it has taken a whole new significance because now that we are getting to the time when we are asked to re-elect the man, we have a record that we can look at. Today we have all the results that four years ago were just signs, but they are now reality.

So I hear about the polls and who is up and who is down, who got a bump and who did not, and even as I dismiss these polls because they are conducted by folks with agendas, I am astonished by some of the results.

To the purpose of answering the original question, I want to look at the various voting blocks that the media points out as being decisive about the next elections.

The most obvious is the black voting block. We have all seen the videos of those people who declare that they support Obama because they get free telephone or free fuel, but I refuse to believe that the majority of black people agree with such extremes. I want to believe that the vast majority of black folks are, just like all those I personally know, mainly interested in supporting their families via meaningful employment.
In 2008, 95% of the black population voted for Obama. I can understand the principle, even if I cannot share the feeling, of the historical aspect of Obama candidacy, especially considering the lies he fed everyone during the campaign.
But today, again the record of the last four years should have an impact on the decision in November. Unemployment among the black population is way higher than the national average; unemployment among black youth is scandalous; foreclosures, bankruptcies have hit this voting block just as hard as the rest of the population, and Obama has flip-flopped about same-sex marriages.
And there is the issue of dependency. Obama has worked assuredly to increase the dependency of the American people upon the government. And while working hard to increase the number of Blacks depending on the government, he has arrogantly taken that voting block for granted. He has practically told black Americans that regardless of how horrific his policies have been, he will still get their vote because he is, after all, black. He has aimed at enslaving Blacks and by the videos I mentioned above, may have succeeded to some degree.
So why would American blacks still vote for the man?

Next is the American women.
Is the full support Obama is dedicated to for the continuation of the slaughter of unborn children the main reason for the majority of women to back his re-election? I cannot believe that either.
My daughter once told me something that only a woman can have the wisdom to feel: there is nothing less feminine, less woman-like than the killing of her own child. She has always believed that, but her conviction is even fortified by the miracle of her little daughter.
The left has coined the false slogan of the Conservative 'war on women' based on the position of Conservatives on abortion. They have been telling women that if Romney is elected, women will be relegated to coat hanger abortions in dark alleys. Women who inform themselves know very well that is a lie, but many only get their info from little 30 seconds ads during some reality show commercial.
The left has also gone as far as 'warning' that Romney want to take the vote away from women and a slur of other absurdities.
Meantime, Obama policies have hurt women much harder than other sectors of the population. Again unemployment and under employment, losing homes because of loss of job.
Even if the feminist movement has eroded the family entity by advancing the notion that the woman is not the center of the familiar nucleus, that truth still remains today. The woman still remains the central post of the American family and the person that is faced with the difficulties of very day living: the shrinking home budgets; the failings of education; safety and security of our children. Men worry about these things too, but we are so busy trying to put food on the table that some time we miss the small details that women have to face daily.
Again, I ask, why would women vote for Obama?

Then there is the new voting block the left is pursuing: the Hispanics.
I cannot understand the attraction that Obama has from this sector of the population. The plan for the liberals is to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, the vast majority of them form Mexico. And this position is supposed to make Obama the choice for millions of Hispanics who are legal in America.
Why would an American of Mexican origin be in favor of a political ideology aimed at making something illegal acceptable? Millions of Hispanics, either children of legal immigrants or legal immigrants themselves, work hard at building their lives and achieve the American dream. They waited their turn to be in America, they took the necessary legal steps to earn the right to prosper within our borders and have contributed enormously to the wealth of our Nation.
Every single Hispanic I personally know is totally against illegal immigration. They are against the notion that someone could just walk across the border and illegally live and work in the United States. They feel that the illegal aliens have not earned the right to be in America.
Our nation is a nation of immigrants, the famous melting pot. I am one of them, but while we maintain a personal level of cultural identity from our origins we are to succeed as Americans only if we embrace the laws of the country that welcomed us. Supporting a political current merely because it panders to cultural backgrounds is, to me, just as alien as those who entered the country illegally.
I immigrated from Italy following the rules and paying my dues. Nobody is going to convince me to vote for someone just because he or she tells me that all illegal Italian immigrants in America should be granted amnesty.

There are religious voting blocks that are being targeted by Obama and his minions. One of them, and close to my heart as I share the faith, are the Catholics. In 2008, American Catholics helped Obama win the elections in great percentage. At the time I would read news and blogs about why the followers of the Catholic religion were so in bed with this candidate. I clearly remember getting into excited debates with people who championed the Obama alleged position of human dignity. And I remember screaming that the man supports late term abortion, partial birth abortion and dependency upon the government.
The answer was always the same: we cannot base our support on single issues. Really? I still believe that the killing of innocent babies as they come out of the womb is a big one.
They argued with me about the position of Obama on individual dignity, the human dignity of the poor that he allegedly championed.
Personally, I believe that the enhancement of human dignity is well defined in the Declaration of Independence:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Nowhere in the Declaration or the Constitution says that these 'unalienable Rights' come from government. Our social and economic system is based on freedom for the individual. The role of government is merely to insure that such freedom is preserved, maintained and defended. The moment we surrender our individual freedom by placing the burden of achievement of these 'unalienable Rights' in the hands of government, we automatically enslave ourselves to government.
Human dignity is only achieved through personal effort. The government only has to create the right environment for the individual to thrive through hard work and the obedience of the laws of the land.
Today, the Catholic Church in America is faced with the realities of Socialism, something they did not have to contend with in the past. They lent their support to Obama for his takeover of the Health care system, only to be blindsided by the contraception issue of Obamacare. They had no problems with Socialized Medicine, which is a disaster in every country it has been implemented in, on the bases that it helps the poor. Can anyone in the Church explain to me how do "Death Panels" enhanced the human dignity of the poor?
The only way Socialized Medicine helps the poor is by making them die sooner.
Championing the concept of human dignity is a noble cause, but human dignity should be synonym with self reliance and personal responsibility, and that is what the Catholics supporting Obama do not seem to grasp.

The media that is part of the Obama re-election campaign also like to emphasize that their candidate has the overwhelming support of American Jews. That, if really the case, is just as baffling as the Catholic support.
The Obama administration has embarked in a veiled, but consistent trend of anti-Semitism. Many will disagree with me, but it is only deductive that if an administration welcomes into its mix elements that have a history of animosity against Jews, it must not be too keen at respecting that group of people.
Yet, the Obama regime has repeatedly shown its cards on this issue by embracing the radical Islam elements that have a visceral and consistent goal to eliminate the Jewish "problem".
From the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt to the New Black Panthers here in America, Obama has demonstrated his real position on the situation, including his distancing from Israel.
Lately, things have become even more open and disturbing as Obama and his minions have openly discounted the Jewish state and its Prime Minister Netanyhau.
It is only evident that the crisis Israel faces today is one of gigantic proportions. The only reliable ally our country has in the region is facing an existential problem, because its enemies are at every point of their borders and their most eloquent one, Iran, may soon be in possession of nuclear weapons. Israel already has an arsenal of nuclear weapons and yet, regardless of the daunting threats they have faced in the past, they have never used them. Can anyone assure the world, and especially the Israelis, that Iran would not seek to see a nuclear mushroom over Tel Aviv?
But instead Obama is more interested in pleasuring his Islamic friends than standing by our only ally in the Middle East. Maybe he does not believe the Holocaust really happened or maybe is not concerned that it could happen again.
So why are the American Jews supporting Obama? I cannot answer the question. Movie moguls like Stephen Spielberg carry the water for the man who openly ignores and sometimes supports their very enemies and I cannot understand why.

Lastly, I am baffled by the support the youth of America shows for Obama. Surely I understand that the college crowd is completely brainwashed by an academia that has been working for the destruction of the American way for decades. The hippies of the 1960s became the professors of today's universities, pounding the brains of young, impressionable students into believing the evil America is. The propaganda has created a large portion of youngsters who hate America as much as those 1960s rejects did, even as they do not understand or know any of America history.
But that is only the tip of the iceberg. For decades, the alleged institutions of higher learning have been inundated by faculty members from the Middle East, from the same country where today they attack our embassies and kill our people. Many of these professors are decent people, but many are radicalized people who are just following the plan of internal destruction of our Nation.

In 1838, Abraham Lincoln said this:

"All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide."

Basically, what Lincoln was warning about was that no outside army and greatest leader could take America down. Our demise as a nation can only be ushered by ourselves.

This truth, combined with the infiltration from ideologies like Communism and Islam, has created the perfect storm for today. And it is all handed to us in one single man and his minions: Barack Hussein Obama.

So if the young college students with their student loans and their contorted minds are inclined to have a future of poverty, mediocrity and totalitarianism, their support for Obama actually makes some sense.

It is a great shame that the anti-American forces assembled around the world have gotten the opportunity to infiltrate our country at the highest levels. I guess it is sort of a price we have to pay for having a free society.
I am somewhat confident that at some point the average American will understand the reality we are living in and decide to reverse the national decadence the left has brought upon our once great country. I just hope when that time comes, it will not be too late.
America still remains the best, most generous, compassionate country in the world, but the exceptionalism it has enjoyed in the last two centuries is purposely being eroded by an ideology of mediocrity that Obama promised the American people four years ago.
The record is clear and an ominous sign of the future if there are still so many who can even think about voting for Obama in November.

Just my thoughts!
