Obama Leaves TV Off and Misses Episode of CONSERVATISM ON THE RISE

Should we believe White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs when he claimed that President Barack Hussein Obama wouldn’t be watching last night’s election returns? Of course not. Why? Because unless Obama was intrigued by the Bowling Green at Buffalo nail biter, it was a slow TV night – except of course, for the election returns.

OK thinks that like everything else about this administration, what we were told wasn’t what was going on behind the scenes. We think Obama & Co. anticipated last night’s results. In fact, we think several TVs were on inside the White House last night and that Obama checked out election returns with the rest of us. Moreover, we believe what he saw frightened him as much as any scary movie on the tube on Halloween night.

Yesterday’s election returns hammered home what many of us have sensed was brewing the past few months. Last night was the exclamation point of the statement carved by the TEA parties, angry citizens protesting the senseless healthcare bills, the September 12th D.C. conservative invasion and those who believe the last stimulus bill did about as much good as a fully wired house when the electric company shuts off the juice.

It’s more than a feeling now. It’s a certainty – and it can be summed up in a few words: CONSERVATISM IS ON THE RISE.

More than that, the GOP victories are “a warning shot” as Eric Cantor (R-VA) summed up the Virginia takeover, “and it says to the moderate Democrats in the House that they ought to think twice about continuing to pursue the policies of this White House and (White House Speaker) Nancy Pelosi” (“GOP Gains Could Hurt Obama Political Capital, If Not Agenda,” November 4, 2009, http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/11/03/gop-gains-hurt-obama-capital-agenda/).

Virginia voters gave conservatives throughout the land a triple gift: a new conservative governor (Bob McDonnell), a re-elected conservative lieutenant governor (Bill Bolling) and a conservative attorney general (Ken Cuccinelli). So much for Obama’s star power. The ads he cut for Dem loser Creigh Deeds sounded more like bombastic leftover Obama for Prez sound bytes and didn’t help Deeds at all.

But it may be New Jersey voters who rattled Dems the most. Governor Corzine is out, in spite of slamming challenger Chris Christie for everything from sidestepping ethics laws to being overweight. Christie will be the Garden State’s new helmsman, leaving Corzine to mull over his campaign failure and Obama’s three Corzine campaign visits to Jersey, which did little to help the governor’s cause.

Let’s not forget that even before conservatives stormed the polls, they had already made it clear they’re tired of centrists and those who go the wishy-washy route. Case in point: RINO Dede Scozzafava withdrew from New York’s 23rd Congressional District race after feeling conservative heat. She then fully exposed her liberal colors by backing Democrat Bill Owens. Although Owens defeated conservative Doug Hoffman, it was good to see Scozzafava buckle under pressure and fully out herself.

We need much more of the true conservatism we witnessed last night – and it’s coming. This is one show to be a part of, a show not to be missed. We predict its ratings will soar in the 2010 season. (Don’t miss any more episodes, Mr. President.)

Morris Fights Against CATASTROPHE

By Oscar De Los Santos and Kelly L. Goodridge

Author and political commentator Dlck Morris* spoke at The Book Review in Huntington, NY on Saturday, June 27. Chairs were ready to accommodate an audience of about 150. The crowd swelled beyond 300! Morris didn’t disappoint. He gave an informative speech that focused on President Barack Hussein Obama’s most disturbing actions to date. Obama has repeatedly reneged on his moderate campaign promises and worked hard to make good on his radical promises. He’s wrecking the country with his ratifications to our democratic way of life. Obama’s overhauls are hardly fixes but rather actions that are speeding the nation toward socialism and a CATASTROPHE.
 
CATASTROPHE, by the way, is the title of Morris’s latest book (co-written with his wife, Eileen McGann). At the lecture, the former Bill Clinton advisor and campaign strategist focused extensively on the financial crash, “Obama’s War on Prosperity” and the president’s plan to radically overhaul the healthcare system. (His comparisons between our own health care and Canada’s are chilling. We don’t want to be Canada or any other nation that embraces socialistic medical treatment!) If implemented, Obama’s healthcare revamps will move us one step closer to socialism. Indeed, virtually all of Obama’s moves have us racing on a path to socialism.
 
Morris is accurate in noting that the president wants to Europeanize America. Obama wants us to be France, Germany, the Netherlands and other socialist leaning countries. That’s dangerous and mystifying, given that these countries and others (Spain, anyone?) have proven time and again that socialist principles, when implemented, don’t work. Of course, that hasn’t deterred the president from force-feeding us a socialist agenda but it should motivate us to fight tooth and claw to keep America a capitalist democracy.
 
Check out Obama’s stimulus package, for instance. Social programs and bloated government are evident throughout. Morris devotes 10 pages of his book to reprint the full $787 billion bill “in all its gory glory” (CATASTROPHE, pp. 10-20). He speculates that “Obama must have known that his stimulus package would do little to end the recession.” (p. 9). But that doesn’t matter. What does is advancing his socialist agenda and securing as much power as possible before his ratings tank. 
 
Morris also touched on Israel in his talk and probes its ongoing crisis more expansively in CATASTROPHE. Never during the existence of that state has the U.S. been less its friend. And never has our country seemed so determined to help Israel’s chief adversary, Hamas.
 
One of the great things about reading any Dlck Morris book (check out OUTRAGED and FLEECED if you haven’t already) is that he backs up all claims with source after source after source. Clearly, he’s deeply in tune with American culture – its virtues and ills – on a multiplicity of levels (economically, politically, sociologically). And he doesn’t just whine about our problems. Morris shows us where we’ve been, where we are, where we might be going and what we need to do to fix our problems. At the talk, Morris pointed out that the reason he and his wife wrote CATASTROPHE was not just to inform the public about the problems we’re facing but also to give us a lot of homework. Most of the chapters in CATASTROPHE wrap with an “Action Agenda” in which he offers solutions: actions to take, politicians to contact and votes to cast.
 
Dlck Morris and Eileen McGann should be commended for the work they’re doing to keep America free. If you care about the U.S.’s imperiled state, CATASTROPHE is must reading. So is doing the “homework” Morris talks about and getting involved to stop Obama and the loony liberals from destroying our country.
 
* OK knows we misspelled Mr. Morris's first name througohut the essay, but this blog system didn't allow us to publish Mr. Morris's first name spelled correctly -- hence, the "1" for "i" substitutions throughout.  Our apologies to Mr. Morris.
