At the end of President Obama’s health care sales pitch he made some remarks, which revealed elements of his worldview. He said the police acted stupidly with the preface of not knowing the all the facts, what does this say of Obama’s worldview? President Obama says he respects the efforts of the police whom he then claims they acted stupidly. He admits he doesn’t have all the facts and then pronounces judgment. Equally as revealing were the Harvard Professor Gates’ attitudes toward the white cop, i.e. the police. He made the same assumptions as President Obama. The common element between both of them is their liberal worldview. When someone axiomatically assumes a certain cause for the effect without ANY attempt to determine what the facts are, it says this person is operating on stereotypes. This would be like Archie Bunker assuming the burglary next door was committed by Blacks. Or the owner of the fancy house down the street is a Jew. I submit Barack Obama is nothing more than a modern day Archie Bunker. Just as Archie Bunker was the caricature for conservatives, Barack Obama is the caricatures for liberals. The obvious exception is that Archie Bunker was a fictional character whereas Barack Obama is not.
Here we have the demonstrated epitome of liberal stereotypes and jurisprudence, you are presumed guilty of all negative stereotypes unless you provide concrete proof to the contrary. The Archie Bunker of liberalism has spoken his truth but what truth was it? Was it race? Here’s something to consider, a Hispanic cop and a Black cop back up the actions of a White cop, however the common element between all three is BLUE. The Great Divider tossed the ethereal version of the race card. Perhaps we have all misunderstood his statement, because he said he was sorry that we misunderstood, but he did not say he was sorry for what he said. We were supposed to get the US VERSUS THEM against the police, but being the dolts we are, we thought he was alluding to race, i.e. the color of his skin because the arresting officer was white. Clearly the professor saw the other two cops of different races, so like Obama, he was claiming Blue racism against Blacks. Interestingly, the police union didn’t misunderstand Obama’s message, hence their demand for an apology. Both Obama and the police are operating on the same wavelength.
Barack Obama operates on an absurdly stereotypical liberal worldview to the point he is blind to the facts even if those facts were handed to him on a platter. Is it any wonder that he behaves like a liberal demagogue spouting assertions that are easily proved false? As Mark Twain said, “all generalizations are false, including this one.” Generalizations are based upon one’s worldview, we all operate on a set of generalizations, however what separates a normal person from a narrow minded demagogue and bigot is a normal person will adjust their view in response to the facts on the ground. Demagogues and bigots are not normal; they view reality through the prism of their obsessive ideology. Circular reasoning is the hallmark of obsessive ideology, all conclusions are based upon the initial assumptions; facts are only relevant if they support the assumptions (beliefs). All generalities have exceptions; it’s how we handle the exceptions that determine our grip on reality. This is where Obama stands with his ideologically based axiomatic beliefs, belief trumps facts, no matter what reality demonstrates Obama and his cohort will only say and accept what they believe in their circular view of the world. This comes as no surprise to conservatives about Obama specifically and liberals in general, however, to independents who gave President Obama the benefit of the doubt, they are beginning to realize they were misled by his charm, they realize they were sold.
Hence, Obama during his recent speech deflected criticism of the healthcare “reform” by not dealing with the specifics, the reality, but by changing the debate to a personal attack on him. The idea of healthcare as his Waterloo is literally true to him personally since he views any attack on the idea as an attack upon him. Obama in bringing this up in an attempt to change the debate has revealed his worst fear by personalizing it. To a person who is a demagogue, any facts that are contrary to the accepted worldview are a threat to them personally. Any idea that the belief is in error is interpreted as a diminishment of themselves. A person with a weak self worth compensates by forming a rigid belief system, this is why self-righteous people are as extreme as they are. For the country to reject healthcare reform as he sells it is to reject Obama. Obama is the message and the message is Obama.
These ideas are disturbing enough but I will leave you who gave President Obama the benefit of the doubt with something else to ponder. Why did Professor Gates claim this was all about him being black as though he had prior negative experiences with the police? Did he? I assume it would have been brought up immediately if he did as his defense for the over the top behavior, so I conclude this was not the case. If he didn’t, was Professor Gates pulling the victim card on the police as a means to leverage power over them? What was it he said? “Gates continued to yell at me, accusing me of racial bias and continued to tell me that I had not heard the last of him,” the officer wrote in the police report. “Had not heard the last of him”? Would that be because President Obama is his friend and would punish him for daring to intrude upon his personal world? Did not President Obama promptly take up Professor Gates’ side very publicly on national TV of all places? Here we see a person who believes they have the privilege of being above the Law by virtue of whom they know. It would indicate Professor Gates certainly seemed to believe his friendship with President Obama trumps the claim of “I know the police chief so leave me alone or you will be sorry.” Does this give us any indication regarding Obama’s idea of equal treatment under the Law? As a conservative it certainly does but you as independents or moderates need to make up your own minds. I can only pose the questions; you as normal people need to come up with your own answers based upon the facts in this reality drama.
