Barack Obama Had Two Daddies

"Like father, like son".

Barack Obama, our president, was born in 1961. That was roughly the start of the Civil Rights movement. But it was sometime after the start of loose living, drugs and racial and gender sexual experimentation. Obama's hereditary daddy was some black dude from Kenya. Obama's mommy was some eager white gal from Kansas. Daddy went on to other eager gals and mommy just went on . So who raised Obama? Well if he's like most other people or organisms he would be influenced and somewhat raised by his surroundings. These influences include his state, his schools and the morals, customs and politics of the times.

President Lyndon Johnson was in office between 1963 to 1969. Johnson fathered the Great Society which include massive expansions of the federal influence in private lives. These oversized and expensive influences took the form of Medicare, Civil Rights legislation and an expansion of the Viet Nam War. Sound familiar? Were the policies and legacies of Lyndon Johnson a quasi artificial insemination of all the Obama type children that followed? Is Barack Obama part natural and part governmental fathered? Is Barack Obama a cultural product of daddy # 2 Lyndon Johnson?

So what's that mean? Well if B.O. is any example then this new race of Great Society culturally inseminated are weak but addicted to money and control.

Bill Clinton Is No Gentleman & G.W. Bush Is No Moral Alternative

Do you realize that if Hillary is elected Bill becomes First Gentleman? Would that be more Kafkaesque or more Orwellian? Or would it be just dumb? George W. Bush got elected because he was perceived as the moral alternative to the wide-ranging, largely illegal antics of Team HillBilly's presidency. Bush is moral? Yeah, right! Bush is seriously dumb and not a moral leader. Also the candidates that are now presented by both republicans and democrats all seem to be raised in the same lobby-fed kennel. Yes lobbies play a big part in distorting American politics but I think the problem goes a bit deeper.

Where's the critical thinking ability of America? Has our quest for "equality" in policies made illegal the self evident fact that "we are known by our differences"? Have non-discrimination laws outlawed or impaired critical thinking? Our civil rights laws resemble an instruction manual that is sent with appliances. Where's the space for subtly and nuanced thinking ? The original reason for civil rights laws was justified but the writing and implementation of those laws have brought unintended consequences. Laws that don't allow for physical facts or personal expression will fail to the degree of that omission.
