''
Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.''
''"Paradise Lost," in which John Milton has Satan, the fallen angel, explain his own puzzling motivation by stating: "Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven." (And that's it. The United States is in a pre-view to hell, a triad branched government that has become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. We were warned in 2001 but did not see or understand the warning. - MD)
Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod have the same contempt for the electorate that con men and three-card monte hucksters have for their gullible marks. And, what's more, they've every right to do so. After all, they took a left-wing radical out of Chicago, the corruption capital of America, mixed in a dash of "hope and change" malarkey, and convinced 64 million suckers to vote for him.
I'm well aware that a great many Americans are currently suffering from buyer's remorse, but that doesn't excuse them. I mean, it's not as if all the evidence weren't readily available prior to the 2008 election. Unless a person had spent the previous year vacationing on the moon, he should have been well aware that all of Obama's friends, associates and spiritual advisers were crooks, racists or communists.
Why weren't they paying attention when Obama admitted that his cap-and-trade policy would send our energy bills soaring through the roof, when he declared war on the coal industry and when he told Joe the Plumber that he advocated the redistribution of wealth?
Why did they think electing a guy who had been a community organizer – an obvious euphemism for being a left-wing activist – was a good thing?
And, finally, in a nation that has yet to elect a woman, a Jew, a Latino, a Mormon, an Asian or even, so far as I know, an atheist or an agnostic, why did so many people think they had earned a pass to heaven for no other reason than that they'd voted for a guy who was partially black?
The folks who chose to overlook all the obvious evidence and stick the rest of us with Obama remind me of those ditzy women who ignore all the telltale signs, and turn a deaf ear to the warnings of concerned friends and relatives, and wind up marrying wife beaters. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=119908
