This quote was repeated on the Greg Garrison Show, WIBC Indianapolis. I recommend listening daily for excellent guest, pertinent questions and insightful, productive answers. I wasn’t able to find the author for credit.
The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.
I tip my hat to an AIP News op ed by Bob Webster’s Webcommentary from May,2010.
A Nation of Fools?
Obama supporters are quick to claim he has repaired the U.S. image abroad. There are many in the U.S. and abroad who disagree on very sound grounds.
One wonders just what kind of mental process is needed to conclude that Obama’s performance in flying around the world apologizing for America’s strength represents anything more than buffoonery that costs us dearly in terms of lost respect for the United States. Yet in holding up Obama’s dismal failures dealing with foreign leaders as “successes”, his supporters serve only to underscore just how little they understand foreign relations and how much a neophyte Obama has proven to be.
Following is a very revealing summation by a European (by way of the Czech Republic, author unknown):
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails them. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”
The author of that statement hits the nail squarely on its head!
Obama supporters are either dedicated Progressivists-Collectivists-Marxists who despise the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America (because they despise freedom), or they are Liberal-Moderate pseudo-intellectuals whose capacity to think is vastly overwhelmed by their capacity to be duped and parrot nonsense.
One has to admit there is a real problem with an electorate that would entrust someone:
- Who blocks efforts to provide conclusive proof he possesses the citizenship qualifying him to be President,
- Whose education background cannot be verified as legitimate because he has stonewalled all efforts to have relevant records made public,
- Who has never held a meaningful private sector job,
- Is hostile to U.S. history and original Constitutional dictates,
- Had to resign from the Illinois bar to avoid disbarment for falsifying information,
- Has greater regard for the preachings of Marx and Saul Alinsky than he does for our Founders (Jefferson, Adams, etc.),
- Has declared war against economic freedom (capitalism),
- Has declared war against American culture,
- Believes U.S. citizens can be compelled to do things “for their own good”,
- Believes the myth of human-caused climate change,
- Is willing to “skyrocket” (his word) energy and fuel prices by declaring war on fossil fuels (the most abundant and cheapest source of energy we have).
It is no help that we have to suffer a propaganda network feeding us “news” that glorifies Obama and ignores his massive spending, his responsibility for continuing massive unemployment, his short-sighted efforts to attack the very source of jobs (American business), his continuing efforts to chip away at personal freedom, and his willingness to drag down the living standard of the United States as a “fair” compensation for our past worldwide economic dominance.
Between extremely biased “news” and an education system that denigrates American culture and our traditional values of freedom, individual responsibility and property ownership rights, while it praises multiculturalism, ridicules traditional American values, and glorifies socialism, it is no wonder the U.S. electorate are incapable of making intelligent decisions at election time.
Are we going to allow these travesties of “news” and “education” to continue to drag our nation into the gutter of mediocrity? Or will citizens open their eyes, awaken to the monster that we have created within our borders, and take action? Will informed citizens speak out against the massive Leftist propaganda that consistently dominates news and education? Will good people sit idly by and watch the demise of this great nation, or will they take all necessary action to restore our once-great Constitutional Republic?
The elections this coming November offer an opportunity to take a significant step in the right direction. But electoral success will not solve the underlying problem underscored by the European comment quoted above. Those who believe in personal responsibility, liberty, and adherence to our fundamental Constitutional restraints on government must continue to work at local and state levels to remove all inappropriate teachers/professors and their Marxist-oriented teaching materials from our society. It is one thing to teach about Marxism and Fascism to inform people of their dangers. It is quite another to teach and glorify these despicable anti-human philosophical monstrosities!
There is a LOT of very hard work ahead to save this country. But failure to take the challenge is failure to uphold everything our Founders sacrificed for and the many sacrifices since then in support of freedom and individual responsibility and self-determination across the globe.
November will only be step one of many, many difficult steps we must take.
Well, November has come and gone and we believed that we had won a great victory, yet this past week has shown that the Republicans have heard, but they have no idea how to execute. They are like the people in Japan who live in homes with rice paper walls. They can hear, but they are too polite to go into the next room and put out the fire.
In the past week Obama and his minions have made all of their fondest wishes come true. They have debased our defenses (START), debauched our military (DADT repeal), polluted our air, driven up costs of food and fuel (Ethanol subsidy), commandeered the freedom of speech and the press (FCC Net Neutrality vote) and gained control of the availability of food and therefore life itself (S510/HR2751).
Add to this the nationalization of farms in Venezuela with nary a peep of disapproval from our statesmen, a major terrorist plot uncovered in England which was unknown to our Homeland Security officials, and grandmas and their toddler grand children being frisked and sexually affronted at airports….
You tell me who has gained the upper hand; who is calling the shots and who are the fools now?
Great post and certainly interesting. If I may qualify and defend the American Electorate…we trust others to perform certain important functions such as vetting and investigation prior to someone being put on a ballot. Hence there should be a measure of culpability and shame be placed on our media and elected officials.
In my lifetime it has been true that communism was a disenfranchisement from access to the government, proponency of American Exceptionalism a requirement, and constitutionality non-negotiable.
2008 proved otherwise.

Call Them Americans
What do you call a group of people who let a dried out alcoholic, with an IQ of 94, twice be placed in office by his daddy’s narcodollar vote machine fraud organization? (spelled Diebold) What do you call a group of people who sat on their asses and failed to take to the streets to protest this vote machine fraud? And the usurpation of their Fourth Amendment Rights to privacy in their telephone, computer and mail transactions?
What do you call a group of people who allow their leader to be assisted in, his hare-brained missions, by a cadre of his dad’s corrupt, draft dodging, white collar criminals? What do you call a group of people who allow this cadre to kill, in the name of freedom, 4300 of our finest, along with 600,000 innocent Iraqis?` What do you call a people who fail to force their elected representatives to exercise their Constitutional duty of redress through impeachment of the above mentioned.
And to borrow, in this peoples name, over a trillion dollars to finance this “war of lies”. And to corruptly transfer as much of this money, as this cadre possibly could, into their own various coffers?
What do you call a people who fail to keep themselves informed about these things?
What do you call such a people? Why, you call them Americans!

Nurse Pelosi and Dr. Obama on Health Care Reform
Picture this. It’s early September. The city’s courageous Leader, crusader for truth and justice, victor of dozens of battles, during the past two and half centuries, is rushed to the big city emergency room with fluid around his heart. His pericardium is filled with pus and the tension in this sack is compressing each heartbeat The Leader (of the free world) is dying right before our very eyes. Immediate, meaningful action must be taken now!
Enter the dapper, slick talking, new emergency room chief. Let’s call him Doctor Obama. Everyone in the emergency room on this dark, gloomy, late afternoon knows that quick, decisive action must be taken, if the Leader is to be saved. But what to do?
It is for sure that the Leader’s last doctors, Dr. Bush and his trusty, ever-present partner, Dr. Cheney, certainly didn’t know what to do. The multiple procedures that Doctors Bush and Cheney had done to the Leader, over the preceding 8 years had, in every instance, made the Leader worse…much worse!!
Nevertheless, Doctors Bush and Cheney and their corrupt, white collar colleagues had made enormous sums of money off the Leader, with all their clever CPT codes and duplicate billings But now the Leader is but a mere shadow of himself…. the Leader is dying!!
But what to do? Up steps the dysfunctional emergency room charge nurse. Let’s call her Charge Nurse Pelosi. Nurse Pelosi, with that fixed and constant smile, says to Dr. Obama, “let me handle this…leave everything up to me. I’ll tell you what you need to do to save the Leader.” she says with that dumb looking, inappropriate smile of hers.
It seems that Nurse Pelosi and Nurse Jane Harman, both ranking members of the hospital’s Executive Committee, had been complicit of flagrant, repeated malpractice for their part in covering up a series of grotesque, unacceptable procedures performed on a number of Arab and Persian patients by Doctors Bush and Cheney. In order to defraud these patients’ Medicaid and Medicare Insurance of enormous sums of money. In stark contradiction to the hospital’s bylaws. Keeping this in mind, Nurse Pelosi’s and Nurse Harman’s recommendations, in the Leaders case, surely could not be considered legitimate.
Anyway, Nurse Pelosi, with that fixed and constant smile, says to Dr. Obama, “now is the time for health care reform. Doctors Bush and Cheney have totally screwed up our health care system. The system is too expensive. And provides inadequate care”. (As if air head Pelosi would know the difference between quality care and inadequate care.)
Nurse Pelosi says to Dr. Obama, “here’s what we are going to do! Send down to the ghettos and bring up some of those half way doctors who can barely speak English. Along with their cadres of lawyers and administrators.…And do this STAT! We’ll get these guys in here and let them take care of the Leader’s pericardial tamponade. It will be a lot cheaper. And will give us time to rove around the city giving slick speeches…convincing the people that we are doing everything possible to save the leader, while simultaneously reducing health care costs”.
Nurse Pelosi rambled on…“Look we’d be saving money…and maybe even getting the Leader through this current crisis. While simultaneously establishing a new health care system in which administrators, health care lawyers, physician assistants and nurse practitioners will flourish. In a new health care system in which they can, finally, become autonomous. Like in Russia and Cuba. You don’t see the Russians and the Cubans wasting all their resources trying to save patients who are (eventually) going to die anyway, do you?”

Footnote:
Medicaid and Medicare fraud cases with multimillion dollar settlements: CVS, Merck, Health South, Walgreen’s, Seven NY hospitals, Smith Kline, Damon Labs, Tenet Health, Hewlett Packard, Pfizer, Tenet Health, Tap Pharmaceuticals, HCA, National Health Labs, Quorum Health, Corning Met Pharmaceuticals, etc, etc….talk about make work for hoards of administrators and health care lawyers.
Moreover, the investigation of that reported occurrence was not pursued.
Some prefer a conventional professional fee that can mainly rely
on how complex the case is. Do not spend a penny on a lawyer whose main focus is anything other than car accidents.
