One last look at the Most Equal Comrade's legacy of tyranny and planned decline

So the Lightworker-in-Chief, He Who Would Quell the Rise of the Seas, disciple of Heather Booth, Greg Galluzzo, Harry Boyte, Jeremiah Wright, Frank Marshall Davis and Rashid Khalidi, gave his farewell address in which he referred to himself 75 times.

It's readily available in case you missed it. Myself, I opted for the IU - Maryland game.

But if you love freedom and understand how Western civilization had been as unique blessing to humankind, you know that the eight years of his having his grip on post-America's throat have been a time of tyranny and planned decline.

Let us review the ways:

1.) The deliberate backing away from the US position of world leadership, predicated on the notion that assuming that position is an act of arrogance. We've seen it in the 2009 apology tour, sitting through Daniel Ortega's anti-US diatribe at the OAS meeting without even making any subsequent remarks let alone walking out of it, accepting the Noam Chomsky book from Hugo Chavez at the same meeting, the Iranian New Year greetings to Ayatollah Khameini, doggedly pursuing an "agreement" on Iran's nuclear program, nixing the strategic defense systems for Poland and the Czech Republic, the tone of every one of the MEC's UN General Assembly addresses (which included such assertions as that the US has its own human-rights struggles, and that Ferguson is an example thereof), inaction on Assad crossing the chemical-weapons red line, and the shameful treatment of Israel.

2.) The "A"CA, which made health care less affordable for most people, limited their ability to care for their health as they see fit, caused attrition among healthcare professionals, and caused chaos in the insurance industry.

3.) The race-baiting intrusion of the federal Department of Justice into local crime situations.

4.) Hosting vulgar "entertainers" at White House functions, including a hip-hop artist wearing a house-arrest ankle bracelet.

5.) Making statistically abnormal modes of human sexuality the object of celebration and obsessive outreach, such as lighting up the White House in rainbow colors after the SCOTUS decision about homosexual "marriage," which is impossible by definition. Also the prioritization at the CIA and departments of State and Defense of making "transgendered" people - that is, people whose mental disturbances have them convinced that they are a gender other than what their DNA says they are - "comfortable."

6.) Adding as much to the national debt in his eight years of rule as had been incurred in the previous 200-plus years.

7.) Ruinous and tyrannical meddling in the energy industry, such as making good on his vow to bankrupt the coal business, nixing the Keystone XL pipeline, subsidizing wind and solar "companies" that have for the most part gone bankrupt, and putting prime oil fields off-limits for drilling.

8.) Giving a pass to illegal immigration in such ways as taking a hands-off approach to sanctuary cities, which makes a mockery of the rule of law and national sovereignty.

Now, with regard to let night's speech itself, Ben Shapiro at Daily Wire has enumerated 15 fibs the MEC told during the course of it:

1. He Believes Change Comes From Ordinary People. Obama said, “I learned that change only happens when ordinary people get involved, get engaged, and come together to demand it. After eight years as your president, I still believe that.” Really? That’s odd. His signature legislation forced benighted Americans to purchase health insurance and required religious Americans to forego their religious objections to contraceptives and abortion coverage. This is the same fellow who once referred to half the electorate as bitter clingers obsessed with God and xenophobia thanks to their poverty, and labeled the Tea Party as a terrorist entity.
2. American Exceptionalism Lies In Our Capacity To Change. No, actually, all people are capable of change, if some more so than others. Change may be worthwhile, but that’s not what makes America unique. What makes America exceptional is the foundational principles of individual freedom and limited government enshrined in our founding documents. But Obama said, “So that’s what we mean when we say America is exceptional.  Not that our nation has been flawless from the start, but that we have shown the capacity to change, and make life better for those who follow.”

3. He Created A Thriving Economy. Obama bragged about “revers[ing] a great recession, reboot[ing] our auto industry, and unleash[ing] the longest stretch of job creation in our history.” Actually, he was responsible for the weakest recovery in American history, he blew out the national debt, and he ensured that trillions of dollars in investment money remained on the sidelines, as well as keeping underemployment at significant highs.

4. He Fixed Cuba. Obama bragged about “open[ing] a new chapter with the Cuban people.” But the Cuban people are still stuck living under a communist tyranny that has now been significantly enriched and empowered by Obama’s support.

5. He Disarmed Iran. Obama said he had “shut down Iran’s nuclear weapons program without firing a shot.” That’s patently untrue. The Associated Press reported yesterday that the Obama administration greenlit a shipment of tons of uranium to Iran. Iran has been secretly pursuing nuclear development, and Obama’s been ignoring it, as well as their material support for terrorism.

6. He Won “Marriage Equality.” Actually, Obama opposed same-sex marriage until his 2012 re-election campaign. It was Anthony Kennedy and his extraconstitutional mandate that “won” so-called “marriage equality.”

7. He “Secure[d] The Right To Health Insurance.” Actually, Obama just mandated that Americans buy health insurance at gunpoint. That’s not securing a right. That’s controlling others with coercion.

8. He Supports “Solidarity.” There has been no more divisive president in modern history than Obama. Obama has demonized his oppositions, termed them enemies, urged his followers to bring a gun to a knife fight. He has overrun limits on executive power, grandstanded on race, and labeled those who oppose him idiots who just don’t understand the moral arc of history.

9. Healthcare Costs Are Under Control. Obama said that health care costs are rising at the lowest rate in 50 years. This is a far cry from Obama’s claim that Obamacare would lower the cost of a typical family’s premium by $2,500 per year. Instead, premiums have skyrocketed inside Obamacare, and insurance companies have also raised premiums for employer-based insurance to compensate for the new regulations.

10. Race Relations Have Improved Under Obama. Obama stated, “I’ve lived long enough to know that race relations are better than they were 10, or 20, or 30 years ago – you can see it not just in statistics, but in the attitudes of young Americans across the political spectrum.” It’s true that race relations are better now than they were in 1994. But they have gotten markedly worse by every poll over the last eight years. That’s because of Obama’s insistence that a post-racial America is impossible. And Obama insisted that white people acknowledge that “when minority groups voice discontent, they’re not just engaging in reverse racism or practicing political correctness; that when they wage peaceful protest, they’re not demanding special treatment, but the equal treatment our Founders promised.” That’s not always true, though. Does it apply when protesters burn Baltimore or Ferguson over baseless claims of police brutality? 

11. Obama Is Anti-Bubble. He said, “we become so secure in our bubbles that we accept only information, whether true or not, that fits our opinions, instead of basing our opinions on the evidence that’s out there.” Yes, Mr. President, you’ve made this a habit. And this speech was proof of it.

12. “No Foreign Terrorist Organization Has Planned And Executed” A Terror Attack. He also said ISIS was under control. Nonsense. His oddly specific formulation about terrorism is ridiculous. We’ve seen multiple major terrorist attacks in the United States under Obama, from Fort Hood to Boston to Orlando to San Bernardino. And we know from audio from John Kerry that the Obama administration allowed ISIS to grow long after Obama realized they were no longer the jayvee squad.

13. He’s “Worked To Close Gitmo, And Reform Our Laws Governing Surveillance.” Actually, he’s failed to close Gitmo, and his surveillance reform was prompted not by his own desire to protect civil liberties, but by widespread outcry at the extent of surveillance under the NSA as revealed by Edward Snowden.

14. The American Creed Is “Yes We Can.” No, actually. There are several American creeds, but “Yes We Can” isn’t among them. That was just a cheap slogan. E Pluribus Unum – that’s a creed Obama opposed with his intersectionality. In God We Trust – that’s a creed Obama opposed throughout his presidency. Liberty – nope, he wasn’t a fan. A Nation of Laws, Not of Men – nope. We Are Endowed By Our Creator With Certain Inalienable Rights – well, unless you cross the collective. 

5. “Yes We Did.” No, actually. We didn’t. Which is why Obama leaves with his legacy in flames and the world on the brink of a serious period of international crisis.

In a way, the rule of the Most Equal Comrade is a testament to this nation's resilience. We have survived, albeit in somewhat tattered and endangered form, the worst president in the country's history.
