Leftists haven’t had this much fun
since the days of Jimmy Carter. Socialized Medicine was pushed by him in 1978
and continued with Bill Clinton until it achieved legalization recently. Carter supported pot legalization and decriminalization in March, 1977. It
seems inevitable now. Carter rewarded
leftist figureheads like Vietnam Moratorium Sam Brown to VISTA (a federal
anti-poverty program) and nominated Ted Sorenson (arch enemy of the CIA) to
direct the CIA. President Carter
pardoned Vietnam draft dodgers. President
Obama recently attempted to reward the NAACP attorney who defended a cop killer the directorship of the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department.
Isn’t anything new? Recently the Army bestowed the Congressional
Medal of Honor on a rainbow of minorities who were supposed to have been discrimination
against. In June, 1977, civilian feminist
Dr. Mary Edwards Walker was awarded the Medal of Honor for her role as a
contract surgeon during the Civil War because of sex discrimination. President Obama “executive orders” the
minimum wage to be increased to more than $10.00 per hour. In 1977 Carter supported an increase to $2.65
an hour and proposed to Blacks a Full Employment Bill. The President pussyfoots on the topic of immigration. Today illegal aliens have to be called
“Undocumented Immigrants” and you can’t build a physical or legal wall against
them. As a human rights gesture President
Carter approved the Mariel Boat Lift which emptied Cuba’s prisons and mental health facilities and allowed
Castro to get rid of his worst elements.
Democrats heartily approve of
such demographic tidal waves affecting the ballot.
President Obama repealed Don’t Ask,
Don’t Tell and supports homosexual marriage euphemistically called “marriage
equality.” It’s logical to assume that he
will upgrade homosexual military discharges like Carter did with unfavorable
Vietnam War discharges. Also, it’s not a
leap of the imagination to anticipate that Obama might appoint the first Marine Corps
homosexual general.
It’s not as bad as it could be – not
yet. (Forget the little stuff like the
issuing of Susan B. Anthony coins or a Malcolm X stamp.) Is President Obama a black Jimmy Carter? In a future Fireside Chat President Obama could issue more executive orders and initiatives regarding the Equal Rights
Amendment issue or the freeing all Blacks in a nation-wide pardon from all jails and
prisons as political prisoners. Could he
propose a national holiday in honor of YIPPIE Abbie Hoffman? Could
Obama invite unrestricted immigration for all Central American Hispanic criminals? Could he attempt to pack the courts like FDR and
Jimmy Carter did with more leftist federal judgeships? Many measures that seem off the wall to us like those taken by this lame
duck President are just repackaged Socialism with a new wish list gone wild.
