A Dictator Wearing a Rainbow Halo Is Still a Dictator

This week brought President Obama’s announcement that he supports gay marriage. The expected social circus followed. Upcoming Newsweek and The New Yorker covers will show Obama christened as “The First Gay President” complete with rainbow angel halo and the white house depicted with rainbow pillars respectively. All anyone seems to be able to talk, no, argue about is gay rights and Obama’s support for same-sex marriage.

Mitt Romney has come out in opposition of Obama, stating he believes marriage should be between a man and a woman. So it would appear, according to the mainstream media’s seemingly endless victory lap for Obama’s leftist pandering, our entire 2012 presidential election now rests on this one issue and two opposing candidates (ignoring Ron Paul as usual, of course).

Back to reality: in order for the homosexual or liberal constituency to seriously consider another Obama vote, they have a lot of forgetting to do.

Debt, the Economy, and Unemployment
While it’s clear that Obama takes credit for any positives (are there any positives?) and readily blames his Republican predecessor when things go bad, our president cannot deny that he has raised the national debt more than any other in America’s history by a whopping $5 trillion dollars. Obama explained his take on big government spending last month at an engagement at the Portland Museum of Art when he said “government investments…made this country great.” Notice it was not the American people’s hard work that made this country great. It was the government deciding how to spend our money that made this country great.

Obama has provided massive federal bailouts to companies that take our money only to ship our nation’s jobs overseas. Unemployment, gas prices, inflation, and the number of impoverished Americans are all up. A record-breaking number are stuck on the government dole. We are in the worst recession since The Great Depression. Our president has sold us into perpetual debt slavery with the global banking elite. As you can tell, he is obviously quite concerned about this; he proves it by taking a multitude of lavish vacations, including a multi-million dollar, 17-day trip to Hawaii last Christmas, all at the taxpayers’ expense.

Warmongering
For being the most militarily aggressive president in decades, Obama certainly tries to pretend he isn’t. His administration claims the War on Terror is over, but Obama has not kept a single campaign promise of ending any wars and has, in fact, expanded military operations from what George W. Bush started. New projections show U.S. troops will stay in Afghanistan until 2024. More American soldiers have died under Obama in less than four years than all eight years of Bush Jr. Drone strikes have also expanded under Obama, most recently across Pakistan and Yemen. Talks of “regime-changing” Syria in a similar fashion to Libya abound. All these strikes and power grabs are enacted without congressional approval. Funny how liberal voters were downright outraged when waterboarding was allowed under Bush Jr., but Obama’s drone strikes which kill hundreds of innocent civilians are met with quiet indifference.

Oh, and Obama has recently sent troops in to “help” (read: even more U.S. military involvement) Uganda by going after Joseph Kony following the debunked Invisible Children social propaganda machine released a video decrying the small-time warlord. This is regardless of the fact that Ugandans have vigorously protested U.S. military intervention and Kony has not been seen in years.

Trayvon Martin and Inciting Race War
When Hispanic George Zimmerman shot African American teen Trayvon Martin in Florida earlier this year, Obama famously commented “If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” While many claimed this was not an Obama camp attempt to shamelessly exploit the incident for political gain and incite racial divide, a few days later the New Black Panther Party stepped in line to clamor for outright violence and Al Sharpton called for “civil disobedience.” This is regardless of the fact that details of the incident are sketchy at best and photos of a bloody Zimmerman suggest the shooting might have been in self-defense.

In the days that followed Martin’s death, incidences of black-on-white crime curiously went unreported in the mainstream media. NBC news was instead caught doctoring Zimmerman’s 911 call to purposely make him sound racist, furthering feeding the mob frenzy. When another black Floridian teen was sentenced in the same month for the shooting deaths of two Caucasian British tourists, Obama was curiously silent, refusing to comment despite the tourists’ parents having written the president several letters. Perhaps these tourists lacked “political value?”

NDAA/NDRP and the Growing Police State
Not only did President Obama fail to veto the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) as he claimed he would, it was later revealed some of the most controversial pieces of that legislation were pushed for by his administration. The act allows for the indefinitely detention of American citizens suspected of terrorism without due process. Obama also signed the National Defense Resources Preparedness executive order, allowing himself the power to take control of the country’s industry and resources in the event of a “potential threat to the U.S.” aka peacetime martial law. In addition, Obama’s America has undergone vast police state expansion including the National Security Agency’s construction of a $2 billion dollar data facility in Utah which they refuse to answer Congressional inquiry about. The Department of Homeland Security purchased 450 rounds of hollow-point .40 caliber bullets without explanation (more than enough bullets to shoot every citizen in America at least once) and the Army purchased $266 million dollars of ammo as well. Drones have been approved to patrol U.S. skies. The Transportation Security Administration has expanded operations, with undercover agents caught spying on city buses. The Supreme Court ruled police can strip search American citizens for any reason. Though the president says he will veto the privacy-killing Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), based on his previous inability to keep promises including the one he made about vetoing the NDAA, many of us would be shocked at this point if the president didn’t sign CISPA.

But Wait, There’s More
Oh, and don’t forget that somehow, in a modern, technologically advanced time when we as a society have less privacy than ever before in the history of mankind, we know less about our sitting president than we have ever known about any president since America began.

Besides the proven fake birth certificate and draft card, unreleased or missing Obama records include: kindergarten records, Punahou School records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, University of Chicago scholarly articles, Illinois State Bar Association records, Illinois State Senate records, medical records, passport records, marriage licenses and divorce records, and adoption records.

Two things we do know for certain. First, Obama’s mentor and Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers openly discussed the murder of 25 million Americans in re-education camps like the ones discussed in a recently leaked U.S. Army field manual regarding the internment of political dissidents. Second, Obama has managed to accomplish in less than four years what it took the Soviet Union 60 to complete.

Obviously his strategy is to polarize the country on issues like race and gay marriage, so that everyone will be too preoccupied to remember the overwhelmingly more damaging issues that prove our president is marching America straight down a black hole to totalitarian dictatorship hell.

Is anyone really buying this new Obama pro-gay election ploy? Can homosexual and liberal voters honestly justify overlooking all the other damage this president has done to our country simply because he has donned a rainbow halo?

If so, that is truly sad.
