Despite his "colossal economic failures" and a national debt (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/nov/8/obamas-america/)"above $16 trillion" Barack Obama was given a second term. It is not because the conservative message was wrong; it is because Obama is a master of marketing his message. Seductive and false advertising as well as outright bribery marked this man's first term and will certainly be the hallmark of his second.
He mesmerized a misinformed or ill-informed public, convincing them that his promises would result in a piece of the pie for them. Thus, currently, "...more than half the population -- 50 percent plus one -- is dependent upon government benefits. For the past four years, the Obama administration has created a Franco-German welfare state whose sole purpose is to forge a majority political coalition wedded to the Democratic Party." The explosion of food stamps, the bailouts -- all translated into an 'I got mine, not gonna' worry about anybody else' mentality that has ruptured this country into two camps. There are those who pay and there are those who expect the payment without any effort on their part. As David Limbaugh has written in Crimes Against Liberty (http://www.amazon.com/Crimes-Against-Liberty-Indictment-President/dp/B006TQXA4C/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1353875543&sr=1-1&keywords=crimes+against+liberty), "in his monomania for socialism, Obama will brook no challenge" (388).
Which is why the 1952 piece by Elia Kazan titled "Where I Stand (http://www.moremagazines.net/servlet/the-32662/Reader's-Digest-July-1952/Detail)" needs to see the light of day again. Kazan wrote it following his appearance before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HCUA) in 1952. It is particularly instructive as we now enter the new world of Obama socialism.
