Obama: ‘Biggest Threat’ to
America is Conservative ‘Maximalist Positions’

Over the weekend, a headline from the Daily Caller
caught my eye: “Conservatives
Are Greatest Threat To Nation, Obama Suggests.”
It was a look at some comments Barack Obama (or
whatever his name is) made in an interview with New
York Times columnist Thomas Friedman. So, I
pulled up the Times column, “Obama
on the World,” and braced myself for the
usual outrage that accompanies reading most anything
that comes out of Obama’s mouth. I wasn’t
disappointed.
Most of the column was Obama’s deflecting, blaming
and making excuses for his disastrous foreign policy
and declaring that Israel should learn to live
side-by-side with demonic Muslim lunatics who only
want its destruction (though that’s not quite how
Obama put it), but there was also this:
At the end of the day, the
president mused, the biggest threat to America — the
only force that can really weaken us — is us. We
have so many things going for us right now as a
country — from new energy resources to innovation to
a growing economy — but, he said, we will never
realize our full potential unless our two parties
adopt the same outlook that we’re asking of Shiites,
Sunnis and Kurds or Israelis and Palestinians: No
victor, no vanquished and work together.
“Our politics are
dysfunctional,” said the president, and we should
heed the terrible divisions in the Middle East as a
“warning to us: societies don’t work if political
factions take maximalist positions. And the more
diverse the country is, the less it can afford to
take maximalist positions.”
“Maximalist positions”? What the heck does he
mean by that? Is it just another commie
construct to describe the right, normal beliefs of
those of us desperate to preserve our nation as
founded and to stop this lawless, despotic president
from continuing his scorched earth policy against
the United States? As for his claim that there
should be, “no victor, no vanquished and work
together,” working with his opposition is the very
last thing this man has shown he wants to do.
Complete victory for his radical communist agenda is
clearly his only aim. Conservatives must be
the vanquished in his anti-American worldview, and
if we resist giving him his devilish way, then we’re the
“maximalist” bad guys. Yeah, right.
He mentioned that America is becoming more diverse.
Diversity does not necessarily mean disunited, and
America used to be a largely-united, though diverse,
melting pot. But the Obama crime syndicate has
worked like a dog to ensure that this nation is more
divided than it has been since the Civil War.
They have also ensured that the flood of illegal
aliens is greatly increased—illegal aliens who will
never assimilate into American culture but will
instead only add to this disunited “diversity.”
Diversity is an evil weapon in the hands of the
reprobate leftists running our nation and
institutions today. It is used to overrule
common-sense college admissions practices by
mandating certain racial quotas be met. It is
used to impose onerous, unconstitutional regulations
on hiring practices. It is used to push the
radical homosexual agenda. Diversity as a
leftist weapon covers a broad range of
freedom-robbing policies, but a big part of its
bottom line is making sure we are a sharply divided
nation, because even the Left knows the truth in Jesus
saying, “Every kingdom divided against
itself is brought to desolation, and every city or
house divided against itself shall not stand.”
These people want America to remain deeply divided,
to its detriment.
Returning to Friedman’s piece, we read:
While he blamed the rise of
the Republican far right for extinguishing so many
potential compromises, Obama also acknowledged that
gerrymandering, the Balkanization of the news media
and uncontrolled money in politics — the guts of our
political system today — are sapping our ability to
face big challenges together, more than any foreign
enemy. “Increasingly politicians are rewarded for
taking the most extreme maximalist positions,” he
said, “and sooner or later, that catches up with
you.”
Wait a minute. The “rise of the Republican far
right”? Far right? Again, we see the
mischaracterization of millions of ordinary
Americans who love this nation and want to protect
it from truly radical predators like Barry Obama and
Co. We were here all along, and we were
awakened by a very hard slap across the face from
the enemies-within who were worming their way
through the foundations of our nation as we slept.
We are not “far” anything. We want to conserve
our country. There is nothing “far” or
“extreme” or “maximalist” about our position in
defense of the United States.
I can already hear Mr. Seen-It-All-Cynic saying,
“Who cares what Obama says to the New York Slimes?”
Not paying attention to what these radical leftists
have been saying for many decades is part of why we
are standing on the brink of the abyss of tyranny
today. While we hate the lies Obama tells, we
must nevertheless note what he says and refute his
lies. Allowing the Left’s lies to go
unchallenged will enable them to more easily become
“truth” in the minds of the weak thinkers among us.
Meanwhile, I guess I’ll go work on sharpening my
“maximalist positions.”
