as Spock would say, "Fascinating."

obvious things make up the evidence, for me -- the manipulation
of the money to support the stock market, the effective withdrawal
of southern border patrol and dissolution of border constraints,
the eager movement of the invaders into position to vote
for the granters of amnesty, the replacement of our military leadership
with weak-kneed generals while the strong ones are run off, the systematic
advancement of Muslim participation in the u.s. while Christian
and Jewish influences are diminished or ignored, the
serious slights to Israel in deference to Iran, the insane "Iran deal"
which gives away our influence with Iran, the stupid transpacific
partnership and alliance with the u.n. to give up u.s. sovereignty,
and the refusal to celebrate traditional u.s. holidays like easter.

do you want more evidence? . the fact that these progressive
instigators will not practice the "tolerance" which they profess to
support ... they will not let Fox news do a democrat debate.

there is so much more, but maybe you get my drift. -- j

p.s. I neglected to mention the nationalization of the u.s.
health insurance market. . immoral.
.

I'm here to advance the arguments quality by insisting on you giving more than conclusions, for the moment and more in the way of evidence and supporting true premises to connect with the conclusion. All I see are many words of but conclusions. Sure I know you're convinced but how do you know you're convinced. WHY? What convinces you?

you say population, but I think that you mean world culture --
you are concerned that the world is becoming more stupid
because of reproduction trends. . I agree. . and the education
which people in even the "best" countries are receiving
is so distorted that the majority of the world's population
is not being led forward by it.

do you consider that Rand's vision was wrong in some way?
I also loved Harsh Mistress, and thought that Heinlein's
vision was also very fine. . and I am absolutely certain
that BHO's vision is directly aimed at every negative
aspect of humanity's future. . he wants a fascistic form
of government here, supervised by an elite who want personal
aggrandizement at the expense of a permanent underclass
held captive within a system of inducement and welfare.

the future absolutely requires that Rand or Heinlein's vision
be more common than not, and that is why I am trying to contribute
so heavily here. . (and the people are fun!)

I wonder exactly why you are here, mw. -- j

I'm not defending President Obama so much as critiquing your argument, which to date has not the form of an argument to it, only declarations. IMO, the 535 are ALL scapegoats that the massive bureaucracy, the REAL looters require to stay employed on our hard earned labor and managerial skills. Running out all of them and allowing the bureaucracy to remain is an exercise in futility if the expected result is ... well what is it? Gold standard? What of the overpopulation? Atlas Shrugged was science fiction remember like The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Both transmit a societal philosophy confined by the authors' visions.

The "elephant in the room" of the globe is population. The higher the society's education, the lower the reproduction rate. The hope is that intelligence is not selected against. A long range view from an 8 year stint as President MUST, IMO address the population Malthusian trap. Is President Obama working for that? In that question is how my concerns over President Obama's actions are centered. Japan, now Italy is the nation with the smallest population growth. Immigration not included. The ramifications of an ignorant immigration wave becoming educated and reducing its population growth rate is the hope. Has that education to population growth reduction holding with Islamic immigrants? I can't say I've ever seen such demographics, but then I've not looked very hard, perhaps in Iran?

why on earth are you arguing FOR this abysmal failure
of a president?
scapegoat? . start with Reed and Pelosi. . continue with Schumer
and the grafters associated with the keystone pipeline.
the fact that the house approves the dollars spent makes their
scapegoat eligibility rise to a hundred percent like BHO's.
I would run them all out of town on a rail. . fire them all
and hire new. -- j
.

There are 535 who have the power to exact change. Blame one person if you must. I find it naive and a necessity to have a scapegoat. Scapegoats have a function. Debt? Spending and taxing originates in the House, not with President Obama who but presents a budget. Which budget of his has been approved as is?

So you say, but is he unique in that aspect? What? Was President Obama the first to institute Federal Wild country ownership and Federal Parks? Lest you give me some particulars I can't just be convinced on pejoratives only, or do you insist I must be?

but the founders only allowed male land-owners to vote.
and the "common moral sense" to which you refer
is not evident in BHO's actions. . he is raping this country
for personal power and legacy. -- j
.

Yours are personal actions. President Obama presents a man engaging Cosmopolitanism. Now whether other cultures have the same appreciation of a Cosmopolitanist for all humans having a common moral sense may not be justified. In fact I find it a bit naive but still find in its practice a reasonable likeness to American Pragmatism being exercised in world affairs by his State Department and internally in the national endeavors to give all a chance at health care and education. Not a worthy philosophy? Certainly more worthy than one which would find approval in a ten minute test to see if a citizen is smart enough to vote. http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_vault/...

if I understand you, I might cite the facts that:::

I went to engineering school instead of other choices

I chose to accept a usaf "scholarship" with the
accompanying service obligation

I carried my paperback copy of AS with my books,
as a conversation starter

I used fuel-conserving vehicles and lived within my means

don't there seem to be things which hint at a philosophy
in a person's actions? -- j
.

Appears? I were to know of you or you of me what appearance would we be presenting that we could say of the other, I know what philosophy you embrace without our identifying it outright?

BINGO!!!

Obama is just plain evil. His desire to arrogantly impose his will on us all is unbounded.

Any and all Executive orders by a sitting President can be deemed null and void by his successor. More often than not what we end up seeing are the orders that can be left in place as a benefit to the new President remain in effect while those deemed non beneficial are cancelled quickly.

Well here was a sidebar that is actually harder to believe than this article:

If they get to the point they ignore disapproval and an override of his veto, then we will have some serious issues. I wonder at what point the military steps in and says" Sir, we must respectfully ask you to pack you damn baggage and go away".

How about: Continuing to....

I think that he is a domestic enemy, number one. -- j
.

but BHO does not seem to share a morality at all, since
he appears to lack one for himself. -- j
.

Lots of declaration and conclusions but no arguments, evidence or support for them.

Ever heard of Cosmopolitanism? Cosmopolitanism is the ideology that all human beings belong to a single community, based on a shared morality. A person who adheres to the idea of cosmopolitanism in any of its forms is called a cosmopolitan or cosmopolite. IMO, to understand President Obama's administration I need to understand American philosophy and/or Cosmopolitanism.

It was born insane! Never achieved a mind, it is one of many that are brain only whom inhabit the worlds kakistocracies.

I always though BHO was delusional based on his insane actions and his pride in them. I think that heactually thinks that he is doing good and has accomplished much to change America for the better. All the negative talk against his beliefs makes him furious that people can't see all the good he's done. The puppets never realize that they are controlled by puppet masters. What should Obama be remembered as? The Meat Puppet President."

Even worse, he doesn't recognize the existence of objective reality. This would make him truly insane.

We've entered the most dangerous part of BHO's presidency (last year and a half). Watch out for reckless irresponsible executive orders against Americans. BHO: The Audacity of Deceit. 666?
