Millions of Americans live their daily lives
blissfully ignorant of the laundry list of what I will call issues, some would
call scandals and the truth may include criminal activity engulfing President
Obama’s second term administration. I provide links below to previous posts I
made, that identify the problems from the first term that I feel enabled this
wave of turmoil in the second term. Two of the “issues” I am referring to have
won their own paragraph in this blog post for two reasons; 1-someone is lying
or lied to us , and 2-POTUS knows nothing about it. Now I am no genius and my
previous employer didn’t think I was fit to move to the senior executive level
of the USAF, but one thing I do know and that is leaders (true leaders, not
leaders by position or rank) do not claim ignorance, blame others, or dance
around serious issues. I have seen enough of that crap in my life to gag a
hippo and it’s one of the major things that ruined my view of DoD leadership. The
one thing about being on top of the pyramid that most people don’t see on the Kardashians,
Real Housewives of NY, or whatever stupid television programs they watch;
accountability. American culture is
devoid of responsibility and shame and as such we are destroying our
government, political system and eventually it will break down our economic
viability in the world. Now I know many people will think, “Chugiak you are
some sort of doomsday activist and you probably have a basement full of guns
and food”. I assure you I do not and unlike most people I think it is
relatively easy for our country to turn around and get back on course. Let’s
see if we can’t identify some of the examples of shameless self-serving
leaderless activity in the current administration and discuss what might fix
the problem.
Benghazi- Many people think the death of four people in a small
North African country in the middle of a civil war is not important to them, or
sad but merely the result of American intervention in another foreign country.
I would argue that the 9/11 attack on our consulate in that little town in
Libya, is a window into Pres Obama’s version of American policy at home and
abroad as well as a direct result of those policies. It also clarifies the
options the country can take at the next fork in the road (ie the 2016
presidential election). On the one hand we Pres Obama and likeminded liberals
who think that terrorism is merely an advanced version of crime, easily dealt
with if the world would adopt our judicial process as its own. If you think that is a simplistic version
just look at the attempts to try terror mastermind KSM in New York , or the refusal of the
administration to identify the killing of 13 soldiers and wounding of many more
in TX by a Major in their own service as “terrorism”. In the case of KSM
Congress had to stop the inevitable circus that would have taken place in NY if
KSM was brought to an American court. If you think this NSA clown is exposing
some secrets, you would flip out as the KSM lawyers exposed every nook and
cranny of human intelligence collection by America overseas. The Ft Hood
shooter will be tried in a military court as a military member under the UCMJ,
even though according to the NY Times; “Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 people, told a judge on Tuesday that he believed he was defending the lives of the Taliban leadership in Afghanistan”. I am no lawyer but sounds like a soldier in the “war on terrorism” to me. Of course Pres Obama doesn’t believe in a “war on terror”, not that he doesn’t believe in war of course. He did in fact support the NATO operations in Libya, which directly resulted in the 9/11 attack on our consulate in Benghazi Libya.
IRS- I have heard a litany of liberals claim that IRS targeting of “tea party”, “patriot”, and other conservative or Israeli organizations seeking tax exempt status is the result of staffers in Ohio offices who went rogue. What I haven’t heard is the media (or public,
other than those abused) demand some accountability, punishment or exposure of
who is responsible. I seem to remember countless days of the media chasing the
“leaked” name of a “covert CIA agent” during the Bush administration. The media
and liberal public demanded someone’s head on a pike and they got one. We will
not see the same effort in the IRS case under the Obama administration. No one
will be fired and the abuse will (and does) continue. I am thoroughly disgusted
by people that poo poo the outrageous behavior of the most powerful element of
the federal government and the absolute abuse of that power. I would urge my
liberal friends to put the shoe on the other foot. What would you think, do, or
say if the IRS under a Bush administration was denying adjudication of tax
exempt organizations based on their liberal ideology exposed by the names of
their organizations, asked for donor lists and released personal information to
opposition organizations? I can find no possible way that lifelong civil
servants in the IRS would suddenly decide to scrutinize individual groups based
on their names, unless they received guidance to do so. Someone (I don’t think
we will ever find out who) told these civil servants to apply the new standards
“targeting” conservative groups. The one thing I do know is some of these groups
have been complaining about this issue to Congress since 2010. They received no
redress for their grievance. The media in this country did nothing to
investigate the accusations, as if they new what was happening and didn’t care.
The only reason this criminal activity (and it is criminal activity) even came
to light, is because the IRS admitted it by apologizing. A free press charged
with protecting our freedom by scrutinizing the government abdicated its
responsibility to avoid the ugly truth about their favorite liberal
administration. I wonder how many other IRS type scandals exist in the federal government.
We may never know, because Pres Obama feels no need to do what Pres Bush did in
the aforementioned leak case; release everyone from their confidentiality
agreements to enable a full accurate investigation.
Some of the posts I made during
Pres Obama’s first term:
The common thread in all of the above posts is the miraculous lack of
leadership exhibited by Pres Obama. Somehow he is both incapable of
accomplishing anything positive for our country and an enabler of the shameless
abuse of the federal government’s power with a single purpose; solidify (D)
support for the long haul. He will and is accomplishing this goal through by
buying votes with amnesty, money for green projects, and outright cash to his
voting base all while promoting the destruction of the energy sector, oppressing
political opposition and silencing opposition media. I think this
administration is the epitome of a tin pot dictatorship run by an ideology and
Pres Obama is the proverbial figure cranium, incompetent and indifferent to the
will of the people who elected him. Our only recourse is the ballot box. Don’t
let your indifference enable a third Obama term. You have a responsibility
to vote!
