Dr. Charles Krauthammer -The Big Picture

[Dog]

It's better to be paralyzed from the neck down, than to be paralyzed from the neck up...


Dr. Charles Krauthammer
Dr. Krauthammer is on Fox News. He is an M.D. (psychiatrist) and a lawyer and is paralyzed from the neck down. A friend went to hear Charles Krauthammer. He listened with 25 others in a closed room. What he says here, is NOT 2nd-hand but 1st. The ramifications are staggering for us, our children and their children.

Last Monday was a profound evening, Dr. Charles Krauthammer spoke to the Center for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is forthright and careful in his analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a fear monger nor an extremist in his comments and views. He is a fiscal conservative, and has received a Pulitzer Prize for writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly for the Washington Post.
The entire room was held spellbound during his talk. I have summarized his comments, as we are living in uncharted waters economically and internationally.


Even 2 Dems at my table agreed with everything he said! If you feel like forwarding this to those who are open minded and have not drunk the Kool-Aid, feel free.

Summary of his comments:


1. Mr. Obama is a very intellectual, charming individual. He is not to be underestimated. He is a cool customer who doesn't show his emotions. It's very hard to know what's behind the mask. The taking down of the Clinton dynasty was an amazing accomplishment. The Clintons still do not understand what hit them. Obama was in the perfect place at the perfect time.

2. Obama has political skills comparable to Reagan and Clinton. He has a way of making you think he's on your side, agreeing with your position, while doing the opposite. Pay no attention to what he SAYS; rather, watch what he DOES!

3. Obama has a ruthless quest for power. He did not come to Washington to make something out of himself, but rather to change everything, including dismantling capitalism. He can't be straightforward on his ambitions, as the public would not go along.
He has a heavy hand, and wants to level the playing field with income redistribution and punishment to the achievers of society. He would like to model the USA to Great Britain or Canada .

4. His three main goals are to control ENERGY, PUBLIC EDUCATION, and NATIONAL HEALTHCARE by the Federal government. He doesn't care about the auto or financial services industries, but got them as an early bonus. The cap and trade will add costs to everything and stifle growth. Paying for FREE college education is his goal. Most scary is his healthcare program, because if you make it FREE and add 46,000,000 people to a Medicare-type single-payer system, the costs will go through the roof. The only way to control costs is with massive RATIONING of services, like in Canada . God forbid!

5. He has surrounded himself with mostly far-left academic types. No one around him has ever even run a candy store. But they are going to try and run the auto, financial, banking and other industries. This obviously can't work in the long run. Obama is not a socialist; rather he's a far-left secular progressive bent on nothing short of revolution. He ran as a moderate, but will govern from the hard left. Again, watch what he does, not what he says.

6. Obama doesn't really see himself as President of the United States , but more as a ruler over the world. He sees himself above it all, trying to orchestrate & coordinate various countries and their
agendas. He sees moral equivalency in all cultures. His apology tour in Germany and England was a prime example of how he sees America , as an imperialist nation that has been arrogant, rather than a great noble nation that has at times made errors. This is the first President ever who has chastised our allies and appeased our enemies!

7. He is now handing out goodies. He hopes that the bill (and pain) will not come due until after he is reelected in 2012. He would like to blame all problems on Bush from the past, and hopefully his successor in the future. He has a huge ego, and Dr. Krauthammer believes he is a narcissist.

8. Republicans are in the wilderness for a while, but will emerge strong. Republicans are pining for another Reagan, but there will never be another like him. Krauthammer believes Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty & Bobby Jindahl (except for his terrible speech in February) are the future of the party. Newt Gingrich is brilliant, but has baggage. Sarah Palin is sincere and intelligent, but needs to really be seriously boning up on facts and info if she is to be a serious candidate in the future.. We need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense, and state's rights.

9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous. We are spending trillions that we don't have. This could lead to hyperinflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves into prosperity. The media is giving Obama, Reid and Pelosi a pass because they love their agenda. But eventually the bill will come due and people will realize the huge bailouts didn't work, nor will the stimulus package. These were trillion-dollar payoffs to Obama's allies, unions and the Congress to placate the left, so he can get support for #4 above.

10. The election was over in mid-September when Lehman brothers failed, fear and panic swept in, we had an unpopular President, and the war was grinding on indefinitely without a clear outcome. The people are in pain, and the mantra of change caused people to act emotionally. Any Dem would have won this election; it was surprising it was as close as it was.

11. In 2012, if the unemployment rate is over 10%, Republicans will be swept back into power. If it's under 8%, the Dems continue to roll. If it's between 8-10%, it will be a dogfight. It will all be about the economy. I hope this gets you really thinking about what's
happening in Washington and Congress. There is a left-wing revolution going on, according to Krauthammer, and he encourages us to keep the faith and join the loyal resistance. The work will be hard, but we're right on most issues and can reclaim our country, before it's far too late.

Do yourself a long term favor, send this to all who will listen to an intelligent assessment of the big picture. All our futures and children's futures depend on our good understanding of what is really going on in DC, and our action pursuant to that understanding!! It really IS up to each of us to take individual action!! Start with educating your friends and neighbors!!!

Interesting. I'm curious to know where he was at and what was his take when George Bush was in office?

Actually, not really. That was just a quick political smirk. Forgive the tone that may seem to resonate from this post.

Politics is hoax. Stop voting, and start figuring out how to dismantle Brain-Washington, D.C. The existence of a Democratic and Republican party is a dagger resting in the heart of this country. It has divided Ameirica, the planet and humans immensely more than it has united for centuries. It's one of the greatest of all plagues.

How many corruptions exposed? How many wars waged? How many scandals? How many lies? How many song and dance campaigns?...Will it take before we say finally say..."This sh** is a fraud, give me my money back!!!" (along with your freedom)

It's never good to be paralyzed at all.

First of all;
This is year 10 of the Bush/Obama administration.

If you don't get that, skip to the next post.

Both parties are busy about the exact same thing; more government. They only differ with how they will distribute your wealth, once they have it. In the end that matters not, as both parties are on a path that will take this country down.

Mind you, it is not intentional on either party's part (sorry, no "NWO devils" in this rant). It is simply that both parties are about a specific group holding on to power. And both parties are at least honest enough to admit to themselves that, for there to be power to grab, there must 1st be power to be grabbed.

That even power they do not control, now, must remain so that "their side" can go after, and grab it. "THEN we'll do some good!", they tell themselves. This delusion keeps both current parties going.

Krauthammer begins with some accurate estimates of Obama. Most of which were painfully obvious by mid-summer 2008, at the latest. Of course Obama is a two-faced, power-grubbing little weasel !! Krauthammer is just upset because he is not HIS two-faced, power-grubbing little weasel.

We need to return to the party of lower taxes, smaller government, personal responsibility, strong national defense, and state's rights.

This has been the cry of "out of power" Republicans, my entire life. Neo-cons in particular. And not once have they ever held true to that statement, once in power!

For the record, I voted Republican in every National election sfrom 1974 to 2000, each time thinking, "this time, they'll keep their promise." Each time, just like the Democrats, they "fixed" nothing.

9. The current level of spending is irresponsible and outrageous. We are spending trillions that we don't have. This could lead to hyperinflation, depression or worse. No country has ever spent themselves into prosperity.

Naturally, you never heard him say that while GW Bush increased Federal spending by 60% during his administration.

• Biggest increase in spending ever.
• Spent more than ALL of the Democrat administrations back to, and including FDR, and that includes paying for WWII in it's entirety.
• The biggest run on the rights of citizens in the nation's history.

You see, it's only when they're out of power they talk that way. When they get power... well then they've got power, and that needs using. The current Republican party is exactly the same as the Democrat: Statist to the core.
The "ruling parties" have come to a gentlemen's agreement: "You don't bleed the cow completely dry, and neither will we." Unfortunately, the weaker the cow becomes, the faster both sides try to get "their" share, and here we are.

I'm curious to know where he was at and what was his take when George Bush was in office?

Right behind him, cheering all the way. He'd be cheering still, if only Obama had registered Republican.

Oddly some people really have not heard the term "Statist" before. It is easily explained by this:
"Government's answer to every problem, even those they create, is always, more government."
