American Thinker: "The Alinskyite's Big, Fat Governance Failure"

Kyle-Anne Shiver gets my vote for writing "Today's Must Read." It's titled, The Alinskyite's Big, Fat Governance Failure and it's a right-on doozy!

She asks some embarrassingly pointed questions and proceeds to answer them. Here's a portion of her prose:

What happens when the thing a president knows best is a set of tactics designed to take power from the "haves"? When the most highly prized info a president ever garnered could be summed up as nothing better than gaming an electoral system with ACORN pay-for-registration schemes?

What happens when a president is very skilled in deceptively cloaking these less-than-altruistic means in rhetorical "moral garments" and his lies finally start catching up with him, destroying his credibility? When a president has never actually run anything successfully, not even his own paper route or a PTA meeting or a small town's city council?

What happens when power-grab tactics, taught by a rabble-rousing revolutionary, suddenly catapult a charismatic demagogue into the highest power-perch in the world?

Well, then, Barack Obama's big, fat governance failure happens.

Here we are, on the worst morning-after any romance writer could conjure, facing a future in the harsh light of day, and beginning to know that all the lovely sweet nothings, murmured in our ears the night before, were just the stuff of fanciful fairytales.

Even stupid-is-as-stupid-does Bill Maher has pleaded with his president to stop the campaign and do the job already.

Even Helen Thomas has seen through the wall of false transparency, the sweetest nothing of all in the One's glittery basket of campaign promises.

Even Camille Paglia is aghast at the healthcare debacle and wants all the underlings fired.

Tsk. Tsk. Even the millions of faithful celebrity Tweeters have gone back to play-acting and Facebookers have found a better face over which to swoon.

The sad and sorry fact is that anyone with even half a brain and a single ounce of common sense would have -- and should have -- seen this big, fat governance failure the day before, without having to wait until the sickening morning after.

I shall forever remember 2008 as the year when the ninnification of America reached its peak.

It's as though 59 million Americans joined hands and shouted at the top of their little lungs, "Yes, We Can March off This Cliff."

It's every mother's adolescent-groupthink nightmare.

Now that the cult-of-personality demagogue is indeed our elected President, even his own faithful Alinskyite minions can no longer be summoned to clamorous action. As the New York Times reported last week, folks who fell right into bed - with amorous passion aplenty -- the night before, swooped up in the hopey, dopey, changey campaign, have now gone back to their real lives of making a living, raising their kids and trying to survive the utterly-failed Crimulus Stimulus and the still-lingering recession.

Morning-after reality has set in faster than a popsicle melts in the August sun.

Then she proceeds to show what has gone wrong. You owe it to yourself to read the rest of her column.

The more this administration implodes and fails to "get its way," the potentially more dangerous it becomes for Americans if or when disaster strikes; be it in the form of a natural disaster or the next terrorist attack (can we say "terrorist?"). I'm convinced this govt will take the first opportunity it can to gain even more control by invoking Marshall Law.

If they can't screw us one way, they're going to screw us which ever way they can. That's the Amerika in which we now live.
