The Cult of Obama

Odd isn’t it; that a man whose most profound utterance to date, “off teleprompter” has been, “Where’s the white women Joe”? That this man; who has the experience of a city councilman, holds the dreams and aspirations of so many. For the life of me, I just don’t get it. When did we as a country look to government to supply our wants and needs? More importantly; when did we attach so much control, over our daily lives, to one man?


This country was founded on fierce individualism, self reliance and freedom from government. On the simple truism that, a citizen can achieve as much in this country as their ambition, aptitude and ability will carry them, On the principals of limited federal government, with great emphasis on morality and religion, a country in which government didn’t restrict success or punish it, nor accept failure or reward it.


Now; on the day of this coronation we are promised a government that will be all things to all people, a government that will wrest control of all things economic, blunting free market capitalism, A government in total ignorance of our founding documents or the divine inspiration behind them, a government whose intent is not to remove the roadblocks of regulation and compliance upon entrepreneurial American but instead to place potholes between barriers and to then add more barriers.


Begging the question; when did America proper go from Daniel Boone to Paris Hilton as role models? When did we slue from Thomas Jefferson’s character to Oprah’s couch? We’ve become a nation of purse carrying, gum smacking, television watching passengers; while, an ever decreasing minority of us are pulling the wagon you lazy bastards are riding in.


What’s even more indescribable to the author is this; a majority of voters elected a man promising more government to an audience ambivalent to government. Most of us know government and have come to despise it. It is corrupt, bloated an ineffective. I mean, really, riddle me this; what does government do well? By the way; Graft doesn’t count!


Well boys and girls; you get what you pay for. And; for those of you who have bought into this cult of personality over anything of substance, your will, will be tested. For, you have joined this cult and hastened to its pied-piper. You have fallen in line behind this anti-Bush premise postulator promising sunshine and lollipops. Yet, here’s the catch. When you no longer have Bush to blame, when Obama, “the chosen one” fails to assuage your suffering, when those clouds on your horizon fail to behold a silver lining; what will you do? Whom will you blame? When it hits you; four squares between the eyes, that your life is the responsibility of only you. Personally that’s the day I’m buying rope futures. Because, that’s the day a lot of you Obama Jesuits kick the chair from beneath you and take the final swing. Happy trails cultists.
