This cartoon, is from a 1934 Chicago Tribune... some things have NOTchanged... note the "Plan of Action" in the lower left corner, soundfamiliar?

For several months I have been asking: why? Why do all the Obama policies seem to be geared to lowering the standard of American living, taking more and more money from Americans, losing jobs, making more Americans dependent on the government, even lowering our defense against our enemies?

The conservatives have been declaring it to be a deliberate policy. But why? Who in their right mind would want a weaker U.S., more people in poverty, etc.? I have postulated that its all about control, power, and paying off the politician's backers, and I still believe this to be true. But is it the REAL reason?

The American Spectator has one possible answer:

"But why would anyone in America want such decline? Because to the American left, including President Obama as its leader, it is unfair and immoral for America to be so much more powerful than anyone else. It is a moral embarrassment to them. Why should we have so many nuclear weapons, and Iran and North Korea none? How can we ask Iran and North Korea to give up their nuclear weapons, if we don't give up ours?

President Obama and the American Left can't think of a good answer to that question. That comes from viewing the issue as a citizen of the world, rather than from an American perspective. As an American, I am concerned about the defense and safety of America and its people. I am not interested in being fair to murderous foreign dictators, and their inhuman, immoral regimes, from the rightly deposed Saddam to Kim Jong Il to Ahmadinejad to Putin. What is best for the American people is such overwhelming American military dominance that no one would ever dare attack us, which is where we were before President Obama, and what we are busily trashing now."

There's more, a lot more, in the article. And there will be part 2 next week. I urge you to read it...because if he's right, it just shows how warped the left's thinking REALLY is...
