| Live from the Southern Command in Sunny South Florida. | |
| It's open line Friday. | |
| No, I have no idea what I'm going to start the sound bites yet. | |
| If I knew where I was going to start on the sound bites, I'd have told you. | |
| But I don't know yet because I've been so busy putting together this tax and trade cap and trade stack here to get this a crucial uh here today, folks. | |
| I've been working, I haven't really had a chance here to go through the soundbite roster. | |
| Any. | |
| Yeah, sure it is bagging. | |
| The last notch of my third belt. | |
| I'm getting close to being down 70 pounds, folks. | |
| Except it's not sunny. | |
| It's raining out there. | |
| You know what? | |
| I have figured out. | |
| I know how to make it rain here. | |
| Drive the convertible to work in the morning. | |
| With the top down, I guarantee you by the time I it's time to go home. | |
| It'll be top-up time because of rain. | |
| All right, folks, open line Friday. | |
| It's the Rush Limbaugh program. | |
| Great to have you here. | |
| How you know how we uh you know how we do this Monday through Thursday. | |
| We only talk about things I care about. | |
| And um I fake it on Friday. | |
| We go to the phones, whatever you want to talk about is fine. | |
| If I don't care about it, uh I'll I'll act like I do. | |
| It's a great golden opportunity for you, a huge career risk for me, turning over the content portion of the program to uh potential seminar callers that sneak by snurdly. | |
| Uh and uh and and a veritable rank amateurs, you uh lovable rank amateurs uh uh nevertheless. | |
| So 800-282-2882, if you want to be on the program, the email address L Rushbo at EIB net com. | |
| Uh let's see. | |
| This climate bill. | |
| I just got something and I can't look at it till the next commercial break. | |
| Uh but what I'm told here that um well, there was a test vote this morning, and the House Democrats narrowly won an important test vote today on groundbreaking legislation to combat global warming. | |
| The the thing this is so unnecessary, there isn't any global warming. | |
| This bill is not about climate change, it's not about improving the environment, it's not about anything but raising taxes and taking away people's freedom. | |
| It folks, we are made of carbon. | |
| And and what this is is a carbon tax. | |
| Anything we we are theoretically, we could be taxed because of the carbon dioxide we exhale. | |
| If they want to figure out how much that is contributing to global warming, we can be taxed on that basis. | |
| There's no limit here. | |
| Once you start taxing carbon, we are made of carbon. | |
| We are a carbon-based life form. | |
| What this legislation seeks to establish is that we, by virtue of our existence, are destructive polluters who have to be punished. | |
| Uh we are polluters, whether we want to be or not. | |
| It's just because we're carbon. | |
| It's just it it is absurd. | |
| In all kinds of countries, uh they're learning that this doesn't work. | |
| Spain, it didn't work, Australia, it didn't work. | |
| Kimberly Strassel has a great piece of the Wall Street Journal, which I'm going to cite here in uh in in just a moment. | |
| This test vote today was 217 to 205 to send uh Obama and his legislation over to the full house. | |
| 30 Democrats defected. | |
| D do you know that there was a tax for cow farts in this bill. | |
| Now, I'm Rachel, you don't you watched you watched Gore's stupid movie and you bought it. | |
| I'm telling you there was a tax on cow on on bovine flatulation. | |
| And this upset a bunch of Democrat congressmen in agricultural states. | |
| So they went in there and they removed the tax on cow farts to get the votes of these devs. | |
| This is how ridiculous it is. | |
| There are Republicans on the fence On this. | |
| There ought to be no Republicans on the fence on this. | |
| This is one of those things. | |
| This is another one of these premises where we say, no, you won't. | |
| We don't debate it. | |
| We don't we don't say, okay, we're going to do uh global warming uh legislation. | |
| Fine. | |
| Well, well, here's our idea. | |
| Our idea on global warming uh legislation is that there isn't any global warming. | |
| Sunspot activity is way, way down. | |
| I've got a NASA website series of photos to show you from 2000 to 2009 how the sun's activity has slowed down. | |
| It is cooling off all over the planet. | |
| There is no global warming. | |
| Temperatures have not risen in the last nine years in an appreciable way, and this legislation is not going to lower temperatures. | |
| It's not going to do anything they claim it's going to do. | |
| Nobody is going to have fully read this. | |
| There are over a thousand mandates, meaning limits on freedom. | |
| Even the chairman of the committee, Henry Nostralinus Waxman admits he doesn't know what all's in it. | |
| It doesn't matter to him what all is in it. | |
| Now, yesterday I think that uh I heard there was something like 17 or 20,000 calls to Congress opposing this. | |
| It's going to take a lot more than that to stop this. | |
| It looks like yesterday it looked like this thing is going to go down to defeat, but they at th like three or four o'clock this morning, they offered a 300-page amendment that nobody's read, but they told the farmers, the the uh the well the Democrats from farm states, agriculture states, yeah, we're gonna take care of you, we're gonna take out some of these punitive things to uh to get their votes. | |
| Uh they were I mean, this this is signature legislation, and it would be very embarrassing if this goes down to defeat. | |
| They're gonna have a tougher time in the Senate with it, but it'd be best to shut it down in the House of Representatives uh today, and that's that's uh the vote, and I'm told we're gonna need six to seven votes, it looks like. | |
| Whereas a couple days ago it seemed to be a slam dunk. | |
| So six to seven votes on the uh either Republican or Democrat side to to stop this. | |
| Let me tell you something else that's happened. | |
| I read about this uh in uh uh a lot of different places today. | |
| What I have here is a piece from the Competitive Enterprise Institute which summarizes it pretty well. | |
| Um they are making public an internal study on climate science, which was suppressed by the EPA and Lisa Jackson. | |
| Internal EPA email messages released by the uh Competitive Enterprise Institute earlier in the week indicate that the report was kept under wraps and its author silenced because of pressure to support the administration's agenda of regulating carbon dioxide. | |
| What this report was, this uh, and I can't what's this guy's name? | |
| Uh what is this guy's name? | |
| Uh uh anyway, th this there's a defector. | |
| There's somebody in the EPA who put together a report. | |
| Wait a minute, temperatures are not rising. | |
| We can't prove that carbon dioxide's a pollutant. | |
| He cited evidence from around the country. | |
| He cited scientific data. | |
| By the way, the consensus on climate science that you've always heard about a global warming, it has fallen apart. | |
| It's fallen apart. | |
| Scientists from Australia and two or three other countries have now defected from the so-called consensus, and that's what this guy's report was about. | |
| And they told him to shut up. | |
| They suppressed his report, and they said, don't you dare talk about it, and they fired him. | |
| Then they said, Don't you dare talk to anybody about this. | |
| The point is, the Environmental Protection Agency, Obama administration, they don't care about the truth in any of this. | |
| This is not about global warming. | |
| It is not about climate change, it's about nothing but taxes. | |
| It's taxing everything they can get their hands on. | |
| It's revenue generation. | |
| Obama yesterday even had the gall to call this a jobs bill. | |
| Well, I'll tell you what green jobs did to Spain. | |
| George Will wrote about it yesterday. | |
| The stimulus bill was supposed to be a jobs bill, and this it didn't turn out to be a jobs bill, and this is not a jobs bill. | |
| This is a jobs killing bill. | |
| Now, I know that's a tough sell because people listening to me talking about this say, why why would our government come up and do so? | |
| You folks, I know it's hard to understand that we've elected somebody who is willingly, purposely setting out to deplete the capital in the private sector, to destroy the U.S. economy. | |
| I know it's hard to understand. | |
| Most of you don't have Most of us, I'll include myself in this. | |
| Most of us do not have this concept of that kind of power of wanting it, wanting to use it for our own personal uh uh fun, frolic, frivolity, whatever. | |
| We don't we can't imagine that we have elected somebody who really doesn't like the United States as it was founded. | |
| Uh we we just can't but that's what's happened. | |
| This is exactly what we've done here. | |
| Uh there was a great piece, and I had it in the stack yesterday, and I thought this is a little too esoteric to get into. | |
| Uh and I I may try to find it and uh and do it again today. | |
| It is a piece in the American thinker.com by a woman from Nigeria who says Barack Obama is no different than any African colonial. | |
| Uh meaning he's a despot, an African collection that the British went in and colonialized uh all of Africa. | |
| By the way, her piece tells us why she doesn't say this. | |
| I mean, you can just but if you have a basic knowledge, this piece will instruct you why Obama so often disses the U.K. There's a they they went in there, they colonialized Africa, and they set up despotic leaders, uh and and uh end up being Marxists, mugabi, and these kind of guys. | |
| And that's and this woman from Nigeria thinks that's exactly what we have here: an African colonial uh type president who views this country in ways unlike most Americans view this country, in ways unlike most Democrats view the country. | |
| And when I read the piece yesterday, said put it together with this uh what he's trying to do with health care and what he's trying to do now with uh with his cap and trade, climate science, all this rot gut. | |
| Uh that what she says has a lot of credence. | |
| I'll find it, I'll share it with you as the program unfolds before your very eyes today. | |
| Kimberly Strassel, op-ed Wall Street Journal, focuses on Australia's Parliament's efforts to curb their own carbon emissions scheme. | |
| They have the same thing. | |
| They tried to do what we are on the verge of doing. | |
| Uh she writes about the Australia Parliament's efforts to curb their own scheme due to many politicians' doubt in human causes of global warming. | |
| More and more Australian politicians are being uh convinced now that the human contribution to climate change, global warming, be either cooler or warmer is something you can't factor. | |
| We don't have that kind of power. | |
| So as the as the global warming debate climate is sh is uh is shifting, the backlash uh has fallen on Australia and Europe and Japan. | |
| The consensus is broken down. | |
| The the scientists and politicians in those countries are taking a second look and said, wait a minute, we don't see any evidence here that man's causing any of this, and we don't see any evidence that there's any warming going on. | |
| Now, this is not being reported widely in the United States, but it's happening in Australia and Japan and Europe. | |
| It's happening there, and it's the reason it's not being reported here is because, of course, our star is Al Gore and the United Nations. | |
| And the media goes out they smear any dissenters. | |
| After listing scientists from all over the world who are skeptical of man-made global warming, Kimberly Strassel writes this. | |
| The collapse of the consensus has been driven by reality. | |
| The inconvenient truth is that the Earth's temperatures have flatlined since 2001, despite growing concentrations of CO2. | |
| Peer-reviewed research has debunked doomsday scenarios about the polar ice camps, hurricanes, malaria, extinctions, rising oceans, a global financial crisis, has politicians taking a harder look at the science that would require them to hamstring their economies even more to rein in carbon, and they're deciding around the world they don't have the desire, and it makes no sense to put even more stress on their economies to reduce carbon when there is no evidence that more carbon is harming anything. | |
| Bottom line, our official climatologist here, Roy Spencer, at the University of Alabama at Huntsville, sent me a little note last night before the stack here. | |
| It's about fish. | |
| And they're finding it fish ears are growing. | |
| And that's it, it's because of uh carbon dioxide in the ocean, it's a good thing. | |
| Well, wouldn't you know I put it somewhere where I've got to find a better organizational way to put all this stuff together because things I know I've read and put in a stack, I can't find them when I need them. | |
| Um see, what else? | |
| There's one other thing in here, though. | |
| Oh, the the frogs. | |
| Uh remember all the horror stories that we have seen over the years about deformed frogs at birth, and we have been told this is due to global warming and their ecology all out of whack. | |
| We find out that that's not the case. | |
| Um and the BBC, the left wing BBC, is uh nonetheless the source. | |
| Scientists think they have resolved one of the most controversial environmental issues of the past decade, the curious case of missing frogs' legs. | |
| Around the world, frogs are found with missing or misshaped limbs, a striking deformity that many researchers believe is caused by chemical pollution and global warming. | |
| However, tests on frogs and toads have revealed a more natural, benign cause. | |
| The deformed frogs are actually victims of the predatory habits of dragonfly nymphs, which eat the legs of tadpoles. | |
| In the late 80s and early 90s, researchers started getting reports of numerous wild frogs or toads being found with extra legs or arms or with limbs that were partly formed or missing completely. | |
| The uh cause of the deformities became a hotly contested issue, had to be caused by global warming. | |
| This and that and that people said that no, no, no, this is happening naturally. | |
| We're debunked and then called deniers and so forth. | |
| Uh, but they have now proven that these deformed frogs are simply nature, taking its course. | |
| Nothing to do with man, nothing to do with us. | |
| Now, the cap and trade bill will probably tax dragonflies once they uh once they learn about this. | |
| Anyway, I got to take a break here. | |
| We'll be back and continue right after this on the EIB network. | |
| Don't go away. | |
| Okay, we're back, Rush Limbaugh and the cutting edge of societal evolution. | |
| By the way, one thing that you uh you need to know about this test vote that uh the AP uh state-run media is talking about all over the media right now. | |
| The test votes designed to make you think it's over. | |
| The test votes designed to make, oh, well, that's that's too late now. | |
| If I I can't do anything about it. | |
| That's not true. | |
| This thing is still up for grabs. | |
| I've got two different lists here of Republicans and Democrats on the fence. | |
| Uh one's from Red State, and I don't know where the other one's from, but they're a little different from one another. | |
| And there are too many names here to give out. | |
| Let's go with the short list, the Republicans. | |
| Uh these are the last names of the Republicans on one of the lists. | |
| I don't some of these names I don't see on both lists, so we'll do the best we can here. | |
| But these are the Republicans that are on the fence about and there ought to be no Republicans on the fence, but this is nothing to do with saving anything. | |
| This is nothing to do with global warming. | |
| It is nothing to do with saving the climate or saving the planet or saving the polar bears. | |
| It is nothing to do with that. | |
| The problems that this legislation claims to address do not exist. | |
| Well, to the extent that some problems exist, they are not caused by us. | |
| Regulating our behavior, changing our behavior, limiting our freedom will not have any effect on whatever climate changes are or are not taking place out there. | |
| It's just that simple. | |
| So you we can argue about this, you know, we can debate the merits of it all day long, but but in just an ideological or philosophical uh way. | |
| This is a no-brainer, a non-starter. | |
| It is unnecessary. | |
| It is a pure power and money grab by the same people in Washington who have been grabbing power and money since Obama was inaugurated. | |
| Now, according to the uh Washington Post, Representative Colin Peterson, a Democrat from Minnesota. | |
| He's the agriculture committee chairman. | |
| Said he wasn't sure what the offset program would look like. | |
| The truth is nobody knows for sure how this is gonna work. | |
| This is a Democrat chairman of the Ag Committee talking about Cap and Jordan. | |
| Nobody knows how it's gonna work. | |
| Nobody's read the full thing. | |
| Waxman has admitted he doesn't know what all's in it. | |
| All they know what's in it that matters to them is tax increases, limitations on liberty and freedom, and Washington regulating more and more of the behavior of the American public. | |
| And that's what's attractive. | |
| Here's some Republican names on the short list that I'm told are on the fence. | |
| Buchanan in Florida, Gurlock in Pennsylvania. | |
| How don't forgot how to pronounce this rookie's name, CAO in Louisiana, uh Chow Cho, not sure how. | |
| Uh Johnson in Illinois, Aylers in Michigan, Kirk in Illinois, Freeling Heisen in New Jersey, and uh Smith in New Jersey. | |
| Those are the Republicans on the short list of on the fence. | |
| I'm told the pronunciation of of Mr. CAO's name, the rookie, the guy that replaced uh Congressman William Jefferson, Democrat Louisiana, is cow. | |
| Regardless, the uh some people are asking me, is there a number on this bill, Rush? | |
| Do you have the yes? | |
| It's H.R. 2454. | |
| Look, all you have to do is call your member of Congress. | |
| I in fact, I'm I'm now told there are a million and a half calls yesterday and 17 to 20,000. | |
| Anyway, uh some of those million and a half calls yesterday were about health care as well, I'm I'm sure. | |
| But the regardless, HR 2454, the message is no, we won't. | |
| It's just very no, we won't. | |
| Obama's out there going, yes, we can. | |
| The answer, no, you won't, no, we won't. | |
| Here's more from the Competitive Enterprise Institute uh analysis. | |
| Uh the uh the report finds that EPA, by adopting the United Nations 2007 Fourth Assessment Report, is relying on outdated research and is ignoring major new developments. | |
| These new developments include a continued decline in global temperatures. | |
| And you know, by virtue of your own life, global temperatures are not rising. | |
| You live in the Northeast, you live in Chicago, you live in uh the upper tier of states. | |
| You know you're barely, you haven't seen summer yet, and it's June the 26th. | |
| Russia can't use this anecdotal sub BS, we can use it all we want. | |
| Reality is reality. | |
| Global warming is not happening. | |
| The polar ice caps are not shrinking. | |
| At any rate, developments include a continued decline in global temperatures, a new consensus that future hurricanes will not be more frequent or intense. | |
| We know that. | |
| We've had fewer hurricanes since that bad year, including Katrina. | |
| Uh new findings that water vapor will moderate rather than exacerbate temperature. | |
| The point is that the this this uh this old consensus, we've all heard about for all these years, a consensus of scientists agree here that uh global warming is gonna be. | |
| You can have no consensus in science with it. | |
| Science is not up for a vote, it's not up for an opinion. | |
| But whatever, that consensus, which was a majority of so-called preferred scientists, is even falling apart now. | |
| What all of this demonstrates is that the EPA should independently analyze the science rather than just adopt the conclusions of outside organizations. | |
| Now, this is what the uh competitive enterprise institute writes. | |
| That's not even the point. | |
| EPA should end up the science is irrelevant to the EPA. | |
| They don't want to analyze the science. | |
| It's not that they're accepting science from outside sources, they're accepting a political conclusion from outside sources. | |
| This whole issue is nothing but politics, and it has been nothing but politics since I first heard of it in 1980. | |
| And back in 1980, maybe it was 84. | |
| Yeah, back 1984. | |
| I've told you the story. | |
| I was watching this week with David Brinkley, and there was some global warming uh uh alarmist on named Oppenheimer. | |
| We got 20 years, George, he said to George. | |
| Well, we got 20 years, 20 years if we don't get here fast, uh we're gonna the oceans are gonna rise and 20 years. | |
| Well, 20 years was 2004. | |
| It's 2009, and everything's hunky-dory. | |
| All this is just absurd. | |
| The EPA is not relying on science. | |
| Everything that Barack Obama has taken control of is pure politics. | |
| It is purely political, 100%. | |
| So the hit asked the EPA to look at different sides. | |
| They just suppressed an internal report from one of their own employees that says what you guys are doing is wrong. | |
| They said, Shut up, don't tell anybody about this. | |
| And they fired the guy. | |
| Shut up. | |
| You're not going to get out there. | |
| We're not going to they don't. | |
| Anything that contradicts the political desire. | |
| The political desire here is power control, regulation of human behavior, the weakening of the U.S. economy. | |
| All for the benefit of the creation of more power for Obama and his minions. | |
| So it's it's a uh, you know, it's down to the wire time on all this. | |
| And again, here's here's the the short list of Republican congressmen and women who are on the fence on this legislation, H.R. 2454, Buchanan in Florida, Gurloch in Pennsylvania, Cow in Louisiana, Johnson in Illinois, Aylers or Ealers in Michigan, E H L E R S, Kirk in Illinois, Frelingheisen, New Jersey, Smith in New Jersey. | |
| Now there's a lot of Democrats on the fence. | |
| Way too many name here. | |
| Keith Schuler, North Carolina is one. | |
| Well, but he's not on both lists. | |
| Here's the short list of Democrats. | |
| Altmeyer from Pennsylvania, Bright from Alabama, Dalkemper, Pennsylvania, Drieshouse from uh or Dryce House from Ohio, Ellsworth, Indiana, Kissle, North Carolina, uh Kratoville, Maryland, Kanjorski, Paul Kanjorsky, Pennsylvania, Minick in Idaho, and Tig from New Mexico. | |
| That's the short list of Democrats that are apparently on the fence. | |
| That test vote that you're hearing about, if you have heard about it, was 217 to whatever it was. | |
| They need 218 to pass this. | |
| That's the majority. | |
| And the test votes designed to make it look like they've got it and to dispirit people from opposing it, uh, that is uh not the case. | |
| Umway. | |
| Tell me who Peterson is. | |
| Uh talking internally inside baseball here. | |
| Um Obama the African colonel. | |
| This is my L.E. Ikenga. | |
| She is a first-generation American, and she absorbed the African culture from her parents. | |
| This is special peace. | |
| And I want to read most of it to you here. | |
| Had Americans been able to s it's at the American thinker.com, had Americans been able to stop obsessing over the color of Barack Obama's skin and instead pay more attention to his cultural identity, maybe he wouldn't be in the White House today. | |
| The key to understanding Barack Obama lies with his identification with his father and his adoption of a cultural and political mindset rooted in post-colonial Africa. | |
| Like many educated intellectuals in post-colonial Africa, Barack Obama Sr. was enraged at the transformation of his native land by its colonial conqueror, the UK. | |
| And that means that Barack Obama Jr. is likewise enraged, and we see it in the way he frequently disrespects the U.K. But instead of embracing the traditional values of Obama Sr.'s own tribal cultural past, he embraced an imported Western ideology, Marxism. | |
| I call such frustrated and angry modern Africans who embrace various foreign isms instead of looking homeward for repair of societies that are broken, African colonials. | |
| They are Africans who serve foreign ideas. | |
| May I translate this for you? | |
| This is L. E. Itenga, first generation American, but she absorbed the African culture from her parents. | |
| So the Brits go in, they colonialize Africa. | |
| Africans get enraged about it. | |
| But rather than in trying to resist it, and then when the Brits leave, rather than trying to reform their um their country back to their own cultural roots. | |
| People like Barack Obama Sr. turn to Marxism rather than their own roots to rebuild nations that were once colonialized by the UK. | |
| And this is how we get Nigeria. | |
| This is how we get Mugabe in uh Zimbabwe, which used to be Rhodesia. | |
| And this is what Barack Obama Sr. became an African colonial. | |
| Now before I continue, she writes, I need to say this. | |
| I'm a first generation born West African American woman whose parents emigrated to the United States in the 70s from the country now called Nigeria. | |
| I travel to Nigeria frequently. | |
| I see myself as both a proud American and a proud ego. | |
| I have always been conservative, though it took this past election for me to commit to this once and for all. | |
| My conservative values come from my ego heritage and my place of birth. | |
| Of course, none of this qualifies me to say what I'm about to, but at the same time it does. | |
| My friends, despite what CNN and the rest are telling you, Barack Obama is nothing more than an old school African colonial who is on his way to turning this country into one of the developing nations that you'll learn about on the National Geographic Channel. | |
| Meaning he wants to turn this into a third world country. | |
| And when you look at cap and trade, when you look at the stimulus, when you look at the health care proposals that he's got. | |
| I mean, the only way to turn this into a third world nation, if that's possible, but the only way to try to do it. | |
| The only way to try to do this is to just attack the private sector and deplete it of its resources, of its money, of its capital, which is exactly what he is doing. | |
| Many conservative African Americans like myself, those of us who know our history have seen this movie before. | |
| Here are two main reasons why many Americans allowed Obama to slip through the cracks despite all of his glaring inconsistencies. | |
| First, Obama's been living on American soil for most of his adult life, therefore he's been able to masquerade as one who understands and believes in democratic American ideals, but he doesn't. | |
| Barack Obama is intrinsically undemocratic, and as his presidency plays out, this will become more obvious. | |
| And well, it's already obvious to us, all these czars that have no accountability to legislative forces, they are not approved by Congress like cabinet secretaries are. | |
| He has announced 13 or 14 czars, he's running the car companies. | |
| He's running the mortgage business, the banking business. | |
| He has done this without the process of democratic legislation. | |
| He's just declared it by fiat, and his party is in power in the House, so they are letting him do this. | |
| Second, and most importantly, she writes, too many Americans know very little about Africa. | |
| The one-size-fits-all understanding that many Americans continue to have of Africa might end up bringing dire consequences for this country. | |
| Contrary to the way it continues to be portrayed in mainstream Western culture, Africa is not a continent that can be solely defined by AIDS, ethnic rivalries, poverty, and safaris. | |
| Africa, like any other continent, has an immense history defined by much diversity and complexity. | |
| Africa's long-standing relationship with Europe speaks especially to some of these complexities, particularly the relationship that has existed between the two continents over the past two centuries. | |
| Europe's complete colonization of Africa during the 19th century, also known as the scramble for Africa, produced many unfortunate consequences, the African colonial being one of them. | |
| Now I've got to take a break here. | |
| We'll come back, we'll continue after this. | |
| Don't go away. | |
| It's open line Friday. | |
| El Rushmore will get to your phone calls as quickly as possible. | |
| Well, I want to continue reading here from L.E. Akinga. | |
| Obama the African colonial from the American Thinker.com. | |
| The African colonial is a person who, by means of their birth or lineage, has a direct connection with Africa. | |
| However, unlike Africans like me, their worldviews have been largely shaped not by the indigenous beliefs of a specific African tribe or culture, but by the ideals of the European imperialism that overwhelmed and dominated Africa during the colonial period. | |
| African colonials have no real regard for their specific African traditions or histories. | |
| African colonials use Aspects of their African culture as one would use pieces of costume jewelry, things of little or no value that can be thoughtlessly discarded when they become a negative distraction or used on a whim to decorate oneself in order to seem exotic. | |
| Hint, Obama's Muslim heritage is one of these examples. | |
| On the other hand, African colonials strive to be the best at the culture that they inherited from Europe. | |
| Throughout the West, they are tops in their professions as lawyers, doctors, engineers, Ivy League professors, business moguls. | |
| It's all well and good. | |
| It's when they decide to engage us as politicians that things become messy and convoluted. | |
| The African colonial politician feigns repulsion towards the hegemonic paradigms of a Western civilization. | |
| At the same time, he's completely enamored of the trappings of its aristocracy or elite culture. | |
| I mean, she's pegging Obama here, just pegging him. | |
| He is caught totally caught up in the trappings of aristocracy or elite culture, taking the plane to New York, flying it around for pictures, taking the plane up to New York for dinner, to come the kids over to Paris for dinner. | |
| This is the stuff about the job he loves. | |
| He's enamored of it. | |
| The adult colonial politician blames and caricatures whitey to no end for all that's gone wrong in the world. | |
| He convinces the masses that various forms of African socialism are the best way for redressing the problems that European colonialism motivated in Africa. | |
| However, as opposed to really being a hardcore African leftist who actually believes in something, the African colonial politician uses socialist themes as a way to disguise his true ambitions, a complete power grab, whereby the will of the people becomes completely irrelevant. | |
| Barack Obama is all of the above, the above. | |
| The only difference is that he is here playing colonial African politics, not in Africa. | |
| In his 1995 memoir, Dreams from My Father, an eloquent piece of political propaganda. | |
| Obama styles himself as a misunderstood intellectual deeply affected by the sufferings of black people, especially in America and Africa. | |
| In the book, Obama clearly sees himself as an African, not a black American. | |
| And to prove this, he goes on a quest to understand his Kenyan roots. | |
| He's extremely thoughtful of his deceased father's legacy. | |
| This provides the main clue for understanding Barack Obama. | |
| Few examples of what the British did in order to create in 1914 what is now Nigeria and what Obama is doing to you. | |
| One, convince the people that clinging to any aspect of their cultural identity or history is bad and regresses the process of unity. | |
| Two, confiscate the wealth and resources of the area that you govern by any means necessary in order to redistribute the wealth. | |
| Number three, convince the masses that your upper crust university education naturally puts you on an intellectual plane from which to understand everything, even when you understand nothing. | |
| Pegs Obama to a T. Number four, lie to the people and tell them progress is being made even though things are clearly becoming worse. | |
| Pegs Obama to a T. This woman from Africa, first generation American, identifying what an African colonial is, the despot leaders that take over these countries. | |
| And how they do it. | |
| And she's defining Barack Obama. | |
| Lie to the people, tell them that progress is being made, even though things are clearly becoming worse. | |
| And five, use every available media outlet to perpetuate the belief that you and your followers are the enlightened ones, and that those who refuse to support you are just barbaric, uncivilized, ignorant curmudgeons. | |
| Well, that speaks for itself, too. | |
| She concludes, America don't be fooled. | |
| The Igos were once made up of a confederacy of clans that ascribed various forms of democrat government. | |
| A democratic government. | |
| They took their eyes off the ball before they knew it. | |
| Also understand this. | |
| The African colonial who is given too much political power can only become one thing, a despot. | |
| She's nailed who the guy is. | |
| Americans look at Obama and first black president, and they go, Oh, we're shedding some of our guilt here. | |
| Look how enlightened we are. | |
| What a great country we are. | |
| When in fact, we've uh we've elected somebody who's more African in his roots than he is American. | |
| Uh, loves his father, who was a Marxist and is behaving like an African colonial despot, and you can see it in his health care legislation, a stimulus bill taken over automobile companies, the czars that he has that are not accountable to anybody but him. | |
| And now the climate bill. | |
| All of this is about nothing other than the acquisition of power and the ability to further regulate your privacy and behavior. | |
| We'll be back. | |
| You know, they call this the Waxman Markey Bill, but they actually ought to call it the Madoff Waxman Markey Bill. | |
| Put Madoff's name in this bill because this bill is a con game. | |
| It promises what it cannot deliver. | |
| We will be back. |
