The left likes to give catchy titles to movements with which it disagrees. Tea Partiers are “teabaggers” and those who question President Obama’s place of birth are “birthers.” A New CNN poll finds that 6 out of 10 Americans believe Obama was born outside the United States and therefore question the legitimacy of his presidency. Worst of all for the president, many of those polled were Democrats. America is now a birther nation.
I personally believe we will never get to the bottom of the issue. The power of incumbency weighs heavily in Obama’s favor – with state bureaucrats unwilling to bite the “stimulus” hand that feeds them.
Putting aside whether you believe Obama was born in Indonesia, Kenya or on Zeta Reticuli, a creeping realization is growing in the country that Barrack Husain Obama is not one of us; that his transformation of America is foreign, if not downright otherworldly.
He refuses to name the enemy that America has been at war with since 9/11 – yet seems to be testing a new policy (his Overseas Contingency Operation) that kills Afghan and Pakistani test subjects using remote pod-like flying drones. His economic programs seem designed to sap the strength of our industrial, high technology economy in favor of primitive and easily overwhelmed solar and wind. And gobs of Tax dollars get diverted into strange and unusual scientific experiments, like testing the effects of “stimulus” cocaine on monkeys. And Obama’s dark lords of transformation are given a title we Earthlings can understand…czars.
Is it any wonder Americans are experiencing that same creepy feeling they used to get watching the X-Files? Remember the warning issued by MSNBC’s Chris Mathews? After listening to an Obama campaign speech, Matthews said, “I felt this thrill going up my leg…”
We just laughed.
Like the Kevin McCarthy character in the 50s science fiction classic “Invasion of the body snatchers,” we know something is not right and that the creeping terror flowing into every corner of America is not homegrown or familiar.
We all fell asleep in 2008. Now, against our will, our essence is transferring into compliant hope and change pods growing quietly in our back yard tool sheds.
Whether Obama was born in Indonesia, Kenya or on Zeta Reticuli, a silver spaceship didn’t land on the Capitol Mall, and Obama and his robot Gort didn’t use extraterrestrial powers to force their way into the White House. Obama sold a majority of Americans on an ACORN-like program to re-order our society (he was a community organizer after all), powered by the redistribution of our incomes.
In the classic Twilight Zone episode “To Serve Man,” a spacecraft lands in New York City, its alien visitor offering the United Nations solutions for ending hunger, disease and warfare. He leaves a book behind that is written in an alien tongue. The book winds up in the hands of America’s top code-breakers. At first, they are only able to decipher its title, “To Serve Man.”
As world conflicts end and hunger is eradicated, the aliens begin a cultural exchange program, flying Earthlings to the Kanamit home planet – without preconditions and in a spirit of mutual respect. One eager passenger, the story’s code-breaker Michael Chambers, discovers too late, “…the book—It's a cookbook!”
Rod Serling’s epilogue is a poignant rebuke to gullible and dazed Americans. “…Simply stated, the evolution of man, the cycle of going from dust to dessert, the metamorphosis from being the ruler of a planet to an ingredient in someone's soup. It's tonight's ‘bill of fare,’ from the Twilight Zone.”
We, all of us, are the savory ingredients in Obama’s transformative soup. And Nancy Pelosi just asked Harry Reid to pass the salt.
And that’s what’s really eating Americans about our scary alien president.
