Zero Hedge highlighted a WaPo column calling for the end to presidential term limits. I’m assuming the author of the column didn’t think that was such a good idea when George W. Bush was president, or Ronald Reagan. But hey, Obama!
Zitat“It’s time to put that power back where it belongs,” explains Jonathan Zimmerman in today’s Washington Post, “Barack Obama should be allowed to stand for re election just as citizens should be allowed to vote for — or against — him. Anything less diminishes our leaders and ourselves.” The 22nd Amendment, limiting the Presidential term, according to Zimmerman, reflected “a shocking lack of faith in the common sense and good judgment of the people.” Of course, in the increasingly ‘entitled’ America, it would only cost a few hundred million to bribe all the newly downgraded Middle-to-Lower class Americans with Obamaphones in order to finally get a “dictatorial democracy” by indirectly funding the lower common denominator with $400 in free money every election cycle.

We have a record number of people on food stamps, poverty is on the rise, Obamacare is imploding, unemployment is stuck around 7% (and would be much higher if not for so many Americans dropping out of the labor market), disability is a new career choice, and the “knockout game” seems to be the new American pastime; but yeah, let’s give the guy presiding over all of this the chance to continue his dismal record with promises of Medicaid and Obamaphones for all.
What is wrong with people like Jonathan Zimmerman, the man who wants Obama to be dictator for life? Ace of Spades offers a clue:
Zitat And the Liberal Chattering Classes are facing a question now: “Will my reputation and sense of pride survive Obama’s incompetence?”
And: “How absurd am I willing to make myself in order to cover up for this arrogant buffoon’s incompetence?”
Some people may begin to peel off — not because they’re not in-the-tank partisan shills, mind you, but because they’re in-the-tank partisan shills who still have some functioning sense of self-respect left in them.
They are beginning to realize that loving Obama means, in the end, hating yourself. You have to sacrifice everything for him — your honesty, your integrity, your autonomy. Your reputation, your legacy, your pride.
His incompetence and deceit are at such a level that he will not permit you to support him and retain a shred of self-respect for yourself.
Devotion to Obama requires destruction of the self. Obama is a jealous Messiah, and will not permit you to love anything else — even yourself.
That may be too much for some worshippers to bear. Some worshippers may only be willing to worship casually — Cafeteria Cultists, if you will — and will not be able to muster the full commitment to the Obama Cult that the more senior acolytes demand. (Read More)
Those “Cafeteria Cultists” will be shunned for a while, at least until the mid-term elections. But then the self-loathers will welcome them back into the cold suicidal fold of progressivism.
Other cultists may be less willing to “step out on faith” so boldly. Remember that the phrase “drink the Kool-Aid” is a reference to the means of mass suicide at Jonestown. And remember that Jim Jones was a leftist. (Read More)
We still have three more years of the disastrous presidency of Barack Obama. Three more years of his endless campaigning. Imagine how bad he would be with three more years of a real campaign? It’s almost like these self-loathers want to make the rest of us so desolate that we adopt their suicidal tendencies. Unfortunately for them, most of us love life, which is something they don’t really understand. They’re too busy loving their false gods.
Now that he has purged all the government agencies of conservatives, including the conservative military generals, it would be fitting to just let him continue on.
There's no longer an anti-war Left. There's only an anti-Right Left
These mindless exercises in stupidity are constantly floated out at the end of a Presidents term is viewable in the distance. They are usually floated out by some mindless no name prof or teaching assistant and does nothing more than give the writer 10 seconds of fame. No one wants a President more than 8 years. Just at looking at past history, 6 years is about all anyone can tolerate because the last 2 years of Clinton, Bush and now Zero are total disasters.
