Barack Hussein Obama Frightened of Rush Limbaugh

“Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

That is an Alinsky (Obama’s ideological kin) quote as provided by Rush Limbaugh in his talk with Byron York about Obama’s latest effort to squelch the opposition.

There are two things going on here. One prong of the Great Unifier’s plan is to isolate elected Republicans from their voters and supporters by making the argument about me and not about his plan. He is hoping that these Republicans will also publicly denounce me and thus marginalize me. And who knows? Are ideological and philosophical ties enough to keep the GOP loyal to their voters? Meanwhile, the effort to foist all blame for this mess on the private sector continues unabated when most of the blame for this current debacle can be laid at the feet of the Congress and a couple of former presidents. And there is a strategic reason for this. (Source)

If the so-called progressive vision is so superior, it would not need to function by stealth, cloaked in the purloined language of American conservatism. If Obama’s ideology  had substance, integrity and power it could deflect each and every challenge issued from the right. But instead, Obama has steadfastly sought to squelch dissent, and as Conservative Oasis blogger Con1 writes in his exceptional post on the topic, the daggers that will stop the heart of our freedoms will not necessarily issue from a resurrected “Fairness” Doctrine, but by a far more Orwellian route.

The left will be emboldened with their latest power grab in the last two elections, pretending to have a mandate when in fact, the country is still split nearly 50/50 in all major race levels in the US. They will attempt to push through legislation that will affect Christmas, or the expression thereof; they will attempt to push through legislation affecting gay’s, and how society interacts with or supposedly “deomonizes” them; and they will attempt to control various levels of expression, or freedom of speech.
[...]
But, here is the real question… Do you really have to reintroduce the Fairness Doctrine in order to actually have the same effect, elsewhere?

The answer is, NO.

With a new President will come a new Chairman of the FCC. Just like the Dept. of Justice and Attorney General, this figurehead can, and likely will, have a potentially chilling effect on “communications” without even putting a pen to anything that has the word “Fairness Doctrine” on it.

How?

Hate crimes legislation.

According to Craig Parshall, National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) senior vice president and general counsel:
[...]
“Of course, there’s something that’s not necessarily broadcasting in nature, but it’s a general free speech issue for all Christian communicators, and that is almost certainly a desire of the new Congress and president, to see creation of federal hate-crimes legislation, which we believe would quickly become a hate-speech regulation, depriving Christian communicators of their First Amendment rights.”

Parshall notes that an Obama staffer has iterated that Obama has no interest in reinstating the Fairness Doctrine, but adds a very interesting connection:

“But in the same breath, he is interested in seeing a diversity of opinion on the airwaves. Well, that’s an interesting coupling, because diversity of opinion on the airwaves is the justification used for creation of the Fairness Doctrine in the first place.”

When  in all his smug arrogance Obama declares that Republicans best not listen to Rush Limbaugh he is, in essence, demanding that these already spineless legislators ignore their constituents. I know basic business concepts have proven elusive for Resident Obomba to grasp, but Limbaugh and talk radio enjoy the success that they do because they sell the political product that half of America wants to buy. And typical of the cowardice that rots the liberal backbone, instead of rising to the challenge, OB seeks to bury it.

In the end, I find it sad to see how casually Obama demeans the office he now holds, an office that has, in the past, been far above the railings of talk show hosts. With leaders of N Korea, Pakistan , Iran and Russia demonstrating their hostile intentions , Obama instead takes on Rush Limbaugh.  How ludicrous is that? When George Bush exited Washington,  so also did the dignity and grandeur of the White House.

Go ahead, Obomba, continue to act like a thwarted high school thug, as Con 1 accurately pronounces,“Liberals are children in adult bodies.” It as if the spiritual descendants from the Lord of the Flies have mutated into this nation’s leadership.  As many are wont to say these days, God help us all.
