Prime's Worm Hole : Obama's speech leaves the liberal left wanton with anger. (UPDATED)

Obama's speech leaves the liberal left wanton with anger. (UPDATED)

The critiques are in and the president's speech from the Oval office last night was about as well received by liberal media as it was across the heartland. Which was not well at all.

At first I thought that it was just me again, but when I see Chris Matthews and Kieth Olbermann literally rabid with animosity toward the guy that gave them tingling feelings up their legs twenty months ago? Well that is when I know that the first hustler from Chi town is in serious political trouble.

After watching that video and then looking at the president's daily popularity rating, is there any wonder why this guy is tanking? He has basically sat on his hands while allowing Reid and Pelosi to craft his legislative policies in congress. Meanwhile, his most visible actions over the past twenty months have been to take trips abroad, apologize for America and bow to every Tom, Dick and Harry that he comes across.

And now his first speech from the Oval office on a crisis that is well past fifty days in the making and all he talks about are his metaphors of comparison of the crisis with wars and plagues.

The man is unquestionably out of touch with America and out of touch with what is going on with the crisis of the oil spill in the gulf. When the mainstream media and their liberal lead personalities are coming after you? Then there is most certainly a problem.

Make no mistake, these people would love to continue to beat their drums and demonize the Bush administration, but not even they can do that in the face of what this president's failures have been and continue to be.

This disaster is only going to get worse and this presidency is only going to get worse. Last night was the time for this president to demonstrate that mysterious leadership that is often talked about, but once again all we got was a straw man who not only had no answers or reassurances, but even his mannerisms and his ability to control and use his hands while speaking is noticeably suspect. And the media saw it. Matthews comparisons of Obama to Jimmy Carter were both prescient and palpable IMO.

There is more than oil in the water now, there is blood in the water and as these MSM pit bulls become more and more infuriated that their guy (the guy they supported) is making them out to be damn fools, the more they will tear at the facade and expose Obama for what he is.

IMO, of all the idiocy of the speech last night and the use of inappropriate mixed metaphors, the thing that truly rankles my sensibilities (and apparently those of more than a few dozen million other Americans), is that this president somehow sees this crisis as the catalyst for him to get his cap and trade and carbon taxes through congress.

Excuse me.....but has the man not been paying attention to the recent primaries and election results all across this country? Does he not understand that any taxation right now on struggling Americans is going to be viewed by them as a kick to the stomach and a purposeful one?

The man is out of his mind in my opinion and the leadership of the republican party had better take notice of the opportunities being literally given them by this president.

Tens of thousands of Americans are suffering all along the gulf coast as a result of this oil spill disaster and millions more are still suffering in unemployment lines, because this president turned his back on them to pursue his health care agenda. And now he is openly turning his back on them again and using this disaster as a means and stepping stone to further another of his agendas.

It is chapter and verse from the Rahn Emanual David Axelrod playbook of not letting a good crisis go to waste, but it overlooks the obvious. The people of America are onto the scheme now and so is the mainstream media. Barack Obama will get no free passes on this now and if he tries to ram cap and trade and carbon taxes through congress while the gulf continues to bleed oil and America continues to bleed jobs and GDP? Then he best be turning his head nightly to the windows of the White House and begin looking for the mobs with torches on the horizon as they approach.

Prime's Worm hole

This is a place for me to muse about the issues that affect our world. My world and my country and my life in particular. I can say what I want to here and those who may stumble across my musings, are welcome to comment,or not. America is under siege. Everything this nation has ever represented, is now being torn asunder and crushed by the onslaught of egalitarian socialism. All morals and social values have been devolved into the belief that systemic racism, is the only underlying cause or reason for any societal ills in America. And that representation, is nothing but a Trojan Horse argument. A means of getting the egalitarian camel's nose into the tent. And now that it has been inserted? There is mayhem and anarchy and burning and looting all across America. And the only questions that remains to be asked and answered? Are these. When is enough enough and when will the American people call full stop and take the law into their own hands, to repel this socialist based attack on the Constitution and our personal freedoms.

Thinking

It started out innocently enough. I began to think at parties now and then -- just to loosen up and be a part of the crowd.
Inevitably, though, one thought led to another and soon I was more than just a social thinker.

I began to think alone -- "to relax", I told myself -- but I knew it wasn't true.
Thinking became more and more important to me and finally I was thinking all the time.

I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment don't mix, but I couldn't help myself.

I began to avoid friends at lunchtime so I could read Thoreau, Muir, Confucius and Kafka. I would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, "What is it exactly we are doing here?"

One day the boss called me in. He said, "Listen, I like you and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking has become a real problem. If you don't stop thinking on the job, you'll have to find another job."

"Honey," I confessed, "I've been thinking..."

"I know you've been thinking," she said, "and I want a divorce!" "But Honey, surely it's not that serious." "It is serious," she said, lower lip aquiver.

"You think as much as college professors and college professors don't make that much money, so if you keep on thinking, we won't have any money!"
She exploded in tears of rage and frustration, but I was in no mood to deal with the emotional drama.

"I'm going to the library," I snarled
I headed for the library, in the mood for some John Locke. I roared into the parking lot with NPR on the radio and ran up to the big glass doors.

They didn't open. The library was closed.

To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that night.

Leaning on the unfeeling glass, whimpering for Emerson, a poster caught my eye, "Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?" it asked.

This is why I am what I am today: a recovering thinker.

I never miss a TA meeting. At each meeting we watch a non-educational video; last week it was "Porky's." Then we share experiences about how we avoided thinking since the last meeting.

I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home. Life just seemed easier, somehow, as soon as I stopped thinking. I think the road to recovery is nearly complete for me.

Today I took the final step...I joined the Democratic Party

If you are able,
save them a place
inside of you
and save one backward glance
when you are leaving
for the places they can
no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say
you loved them,
though you may
or may not have always.
Take what they have left
and what they have taught you
with their dying
and keep it with your own.
And in that time
when men decide and feel safe
to call the war insane,
take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes
you left behind.

Major Michael Davis O'Donnell
1 January 1970
Dak To, Vietnam

Captain Michael O'Donnell was lost in Cambodia on March 24 1970, while flying a UH1 rescue helicopter, trying to rescue an eight man LRRP team under attack in Cambodia. He was listed as MIA along with the eight he had attempted to rescue after his UH1 Huey was shot down by enemy fire. The official military report listed the eight as shot down 'non survivable' and 'non recoverable.'

Michael O'Donnell was submitted for the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions that day. He was awarded the Distinguished flying cross, the Bronze Star, The Air Medal and The Purple Heart and he was promoted to the rank of Major (posthumously).

In 1978 he was officially listed as KIA by the Department of Defense.

A little about the philosophy of the author

The Borg Conspiracy is one man's purely pedestrian thoughts, independent musings and frequently cheeky commentaries...Mixed with an abundance of patriotism, love of God, and love of country.

My thoughts?

In my opinion........in another generation, all that will remain of our once great republic, may be little more than what is left to weather the passage of time in the form of a few obscure and forgotten monuments to the great American experiment.

If America should fail....let it be written as her epitaph.....died by her own hand. The greatest experiment in freedom ever undertaken, lost in the end to the pursuit of the illusion that egalitarian tolerance was more valuable than individual freedom.

Let us be warned.
Franklin, Payne, Jefferson. They all knew the consequences of the lack of vigilance and they tried to warn us. They gave us a document as our guide post. We were to guard it and revere it and use it to guide and govern our future and our posterity.

No one listened.
