Play on

Barack Obama did not tell us that he wants to "help America" — he said plainly enough that he wants to "transform America." To achieve power, Obama is wantonly intent upon decimating our national treasury. He is fast turning our country's history into a tragedy.

When I first sang opera in Munich's Nationaltheater, during a rehearsal pause, I walked down the street to the Hofbrauhaus beer hall in the Platzl. A waiter showed me the corner table where, after WWI, some bedraggled ex-soldiers plotted to concoct the bad dream of "Nationalsozialismus" (national socialism). Their fuhrer, Adolf Hitler, indigenously hated the truth, and was famous as the inventor of "The Big Lie." The German people were then struggling to make a go of democracy in the Weimar Republic. Political mischief, wherever conceived, seems destined to find a way to unleash its havoc.

The U.S. today is a great and good country, where freedom includes the harboring of people who long to "change the system."

A growing and contagious feeling of disquietude is emanating from the White House and from other places where Barack Obama hawks his far-left wares.

By now the American public knows that he and his cohorts are dangerous Marxists, and that Marxism, which the Obama-crowd labels "Socialism," will be our national "ism" if we don't stop these radicals.

Installing Socialist teachers in the school system can produce young left-wingers by the yard — the schoolyard. Socialism is easy to sell, for it tells you more about what you're going to "get" than what you are going to give up. The unique treasures that we Americans have as a birthright, such as freedom of thought, freedom of opinion and freedom of expression, are not negotiable in exchange for the extravagant false promises of Socialism.

Americans who are vulnerable to Obama's Spiel about "transforming our birthright" are like the guy married to the smartest, most beautiful woman in town, and is still looking around. Obama is bad news and always will be.

What treasure can Obama lure us with that we don't already have tenfold? As to talk regarding Obama's birthplace, trying to prove such things is not only a philosophical snare, but a complete waste of time.

We shouldn't question the man's antecedence, rather, his deceptive wordplay. Obama has been professionally trained to look people right in the eye and tell them unbroken cock-and-bull that the incognoscenti swallow whole as truth.

Dishonest, dangerous politicians are nothing new on our shores. But when we recognize them and still let them lead the way, we get what we deserve, and the denouement ain't pretty... It is my belief that the United States cannot stand more than one term of Obama's arrogant mendacity.

His serpentine deception has him, by now, probably believing his own lies, and assembling an army of the credulous who will follow him to the gates of hell.

Let us be truly thankful for the blessings that are ours — and beware of a "disingenuous pig in a Socialist poke."
