Let me begin with a categorical statement that, given current events and recent political history, can be easily defended: Barack Hussein Obama is a willful, indoctrinated child of the Left with strong Islamic sympathies who is not fit to govern. Indeed, he would not be fit to govern Lower Slobovia, let alone the United States of America. Obama is a historic disaster of the first magnitude and, if not restrained, he will see to the irrevocable decline of the country which foolishly elected him, leaving the world on the brink of a conflict — or in the midst of one — whose repercussions cannot be underestimated.
Accompanying the undeniable havoc and damage that Obama is wreaking on his country and equally on its allies — Honduras, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Poland, Czech Republic, Israel, and possibly Taiwan — is the sense of helplessness that overcomes one when writing or speaking about a rogue president and his destructive administration. I feel this personally, having done my utmost in books, articles and lectures, from 2008 to the present, to warn whomever might read or listen that Obama represented a greater threat to the U.S. and the oddly named “free world” than any of our most dedicated and belligerent enemies. Even prior to his nomination as the Democratic candidate for the presidency, my distrust of this man was proprioceptive. And after his Missouri address, I wondered why anyone would want to “fundamentally transform” a country which, for all its flaws, perched atop the pinnacle of success in comparison to any other country.
Everything Obama has done since then has only served to confirm what was originally a deep suspicion and soon grew to become a complete certainty. Dozens of meticulously researched books have been published to the same effect. And yet very few people seemed to be paying attention. No less disconcerting, those who argue that to criticize Obama is a sign of deep-dyed racism are, of course, relying on slander and misappropriation of language to protect their chosen standard bearer and his Marxist/progressivist/utopian project.
What will it take to convince the ersatz aristocracy of frivolous intellectuals and brainless celebrities, partisan journalists, editors and academics, and an indifferent or deluded laity that they are heading for a crisis that will change our lives immeasurably for the worse? The evidence is beyond dispute.
ZitatTV personality Monica Crowley concurs. In a recent speech, she spelled out what should have been plain for all to see: “We have a president who…came out of the swamps of Chicago machine politics, who learned at the knee of the communist revolutionary Frank Marshall Davis, who studied under Marxist professors…who trained intensively in the revolutionary tactics of Saul Alinsky, who launched his political career in the living room of Marxist revolutionaries and domestic terrorists… who for two decades sat in the pews of the radical anti-American preacher, who tried desperately to bury that past, who spoke about the fundamental transformation of the nation…who waged war on entire news organizations, Fox News, and who spent his first term slamming into place radical wealth redistribution and socialized medicine….What I’m describing here is the classic tin-pot dictatorship. We never thought it could happen here, and yet, here it is….Those of us in this room knew what was going on from the beginning before he was even elected president, but now it’s starting to dawn on more and more people what is really happening here.” She is right. Even for those who were not “in this room,” there should have been little doubt that Obama was a man without a discernible moral core, inspired by an anti-American political philosophy and utterly devoid of presidential heft.
I submit that there were two types of people who voted for Obama the morally devoid intellectual bantamweight...a usurping Marxist tin-pot wannabe and the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people...
There were those who share his "fundamentally transforming" Marxist ideology, they are the enemies of liberty and the founding principles of our Republic Then there were those just wanting "free stuff", who like dogs have no concern for the hand from which their food comes, as long as they're being fed.
Also take into account what I suspect was rampant voter fraud in both of the last two presidential elections and thus we have what have here today - a bloodless coup.

I have friends who still don't see him for what he is. Of course, they watch only the dinosaur media, and avoid anything that hints of disagreeableness. Not only is it frustrating, it is a betrayal of a fundamental sort: they are not interested enough or are so intellectually lazy that they don't bother to become educated about something of such global importance. We will all suffer for their laziness and desire to see rainbows of unicorn poop in a dung heap.
Fear is a very powerful emotional that can obliterate rational thinking. I also see a great deal of fear driven denial.
Fear that criticism of Obama and his marxist agenda will be labeled racist, or mean, or selfish, or disruptive.
Fear of facing up to the fact that our electoral process has likely been corrupted, and in reality we have one party with two branches, a party of big, intrusive, nanny state government.
In short fear of 'taking the red pill'. To be redundant, Political Correctness, implemented over decades, has been extraordinarily successful.

ZitatOne must hope that America will come to its collective senses before it is too late. But I am afraid that it will take nothing less than a major catastrophe, a fiscal implosion that takes the “food” out of food stamps, coupled with more high-casualty terrorist attacks both abroad and on its own soil, leading to the eruption of civil unrest and the possible impeachment of the most destructive president in the entire pageant of American history — a sorcerer’s apprentice in a house on fire or a Machiavellian schemer following a carefully contrived plan — before America emerges from its devastating slumber. Assuming, of course, that it ever does, or that a path to recovery will still be possible. For nothing is guaranteed in a nation so divided as America is today.

I thought of the very thing you mention as I was writing my reply to this post this morning.
White folks are being called racists for criticizing Obama's policies. Black folks are being called a "sellout" or an "Uncle Tom" for the same.
This is a form of tyranny intended to close the mouths of opposition in a land where free speech is guaranteed.
They can't quash dissent with the gun barrel (yet) (seeMao quotes), so they're using fear of ridicule and embarrassment instead.
No matter what they call you, no matter what they may say, keep speaking the truth.
Truth is our greatest weapon.
