Barack Obama has awakened a sleeping nation

Gary Hubbell

Aspen Times Weekly February 2010

Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to America in the

last 100 years. Truly, he is the savior of America 's future.

Despite the fact that he has some of the lowest approval ratings among

recent presidents, history will see Barack Obama as the source of

America 's resurrection. Barack Obama has plunged the country into

levels of debt that we could not have previously imagined; his efforts

to nationalize health care have been met with fierce resistance

nationwide; TARP bailouts and stimulus spending have shown little

positive effect on the national economy; unemployment is unacceptably

high and looks to remain that way for most of a decade; legacy

entitlement programs have ballooned to unsustainable levels, and there

is a seething anger in the populace.

That's why Barack Obama is such a good thing for America . Here's why.

Obama is the symbol of a creeping liberalism that has infected our

society like a cancer for the last 100 years. Just as Hitler is the

face of fascism, Obama will go down in history as the face of

unchecked liberalism. The cancer metastasized to the point where it

could no longer be ignored.

Average Americans who have quietly gone about their lives, earning a

paycheck, contributing to their favorite charities, going to high

school football games on Friday night, spending their weekends at the

beach or on hunting trips - they've gotten off the fence. They've

woken up. There is a level of political activism in this country that

we haven't seen since the American Revolution, and Barack Obama has

been the catalyst that has sparked a restructuring of the American

political and social consciousness.

Think of the crap we've slowly learned to tolerate over the past 50

years as liberalism sought to re-structure the America that was the

symbol of freedom and liberty to all the people of the world.

Immigration laws were ignored on the basis of compassion. Welfare

policies encouraged irresponsibility, the fracturing of families, and

a cycle of generations of dependency. Debt was regarded as a tonic to

lubricate the economy. Our children left school having been taught

that they are exceptional and special, while great numbers of them

cannot perform basic functions of mathematics and literacy.

Legislators decided that people could not be trusted to defend their

own homes, and stripped citizens of their rights to own firearms.

Productive members of society have been penalized with a heavy burden

of taxes in order to support legions of do-nothings who loll around,

reveling in their addictions, obesity, indolence, ignorance and

"disabilities." Criminals have been arrested and re-arrested, coddled

and set free to pillage the citizenry yet again. Lawyers routinely

extort fortunes from doctors, contractors and business people with

dubious torts.

We slowly learned to tolerate these outrages, shaking our heads in

disbelief, and we went on with our lives.

But Barack Obama has ripped the lid off a seething cauldron of

dissatisfaction and unrest.

A former Communist is given a paid government position in the White

House as an advisor to the president. Auto companies are taken over by

the government, and the auto workers' union - whose contracts are

completely insupportable in any economic sense - is rewarded with a

stake in the company. Government bails out Wall Street investment

bankers and insurance companies, who pay their executives outrageous

bonuses as thanks for the public support. Terrorists are read their

Miranda rights and given free lawyers. And, despite overwhelming

public disapproval, Barack Obama has pushed forward with a health care

plan that would re-structure one-sixth of the American economy.

Literally millions of Americans have had enough. They're organizing,

they're studying the Constitution and the Federalist Papers, they're

reading history and case law, they're showing up at rallies and

meetings, and a slew of conservative candidates are throwing their

hats into the ring. Is there a revolution brewing? Yes, in the sense

that there is a keen awareness that our priorities and sensibilities

must be radically re-structured. Will it be a violent revolution? No.

It will be done through the interpretation of the original document

that has guided us for 220 "FANTASTIC" years--- the Constitution. Just

as the pendulum swung to embrace political correctness and liberalism,

there will be a backlash, a complete repudiation of a hundred years of

nonsense. A hundred years from now, history will perceive the year

2010 as the time when America got back on the right track. And for

that, we can thank Barack Hussein Obama.
