With all the recent scandalous information coming out regarding the Obama administration, it appears the Hippies are in charge. In the not too distant past, we as conservatives were called the “Silent Majority”. Well, silence may in fact be complicity. I do understand the approach that has historically marked the difference between conservative and progressive approaches to distrust of the government and our different reaction to that distrust; I did live through the 60′s and 70′s.
We, as conservatives, who watched the street protests of the 60′s and 70′s referred to them as “That Bunch of Hippie Trouble-Makers”, out in the street causing problems again. While I did not personally see the Chicago riots of 1968, I was serving in the military at that time, having enlisted in August of 1968. While I was not in Haight Ashbury for the 1967 summer of love, I followed enough of the reporting to be able to comment. To myself and many of my contemporaries, they were unwashed, undisciplined, dope-smoking, unpatriotic, mostly rich college kids. Kids who did just enough college courses, usually of the socialist type, to keep their draft exemptions. I suppose that is why the photograph of Obama holding an obvious joint, while appearing high, upsets me so much. I am also aware that by and large, he has appointed those of a similar mindset. A mindset we felt undermined our American values, our view of ourselves as Americans, and what we represent to the rest of the world.
Personally I think it fits in completely with my view of Eric Holder, the uncourageous radical who denies any complicity with any armed groups during his radical college days. A denial I find hard to accept knowing the popular phrase, “If you ain’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.”
I also have my doubts about Hillary, given the company she kept. I remember the phrase from Bill: “I NEVER INHALED”. While I have no doubts about her greed, lust for power, and prestige, I doubt she could have been accepted as a part of the group she associated with and not had the same view of the world as they did.
I was part of the military during those troubled times, times when you questioned your country’s motives under Lyndon Johnson and the motives of Richard Nixon for different reasons. I questioned as well (and yes, during a phase of my life, partook in the rebelliousness of the times and the infamous weed and the more powerful cousin hashish.) I understand the philosophy of free thinking while under the influence. That was cut short when I was part of a group that had a reel to reel tape enthusiast as a member. One night while expounding our thoughts as a group passing stuff around, he recorded our session. The next day, in a clearer state of mind, he played it back for us. We were perhaps more fortunate; we had the chance to listen to ourselves. Perhaps our leaders did not and may not have listened to themselves yet. That may be the root of the problem. Though personally, I think Hillary may always remember the line, “What difference does it make”. May that line follow her unto death. If I had my way, it would be inscribed upon her tombstone.
After being abroad for many years, I have often heard the leaders of the opposition parties in different countries express the same sentiment. You see, in Europe, there are many parties. They are not just confined to two similar parties; they have groups with many differing views. So, after losing an election, the party left out of government (or left out of the coalition that forms the ruling group) represents what is called the opposition. Their views are nearly always reported when the ruling parties make an unwelcome decision. Many times, the opposition leader will state quite honestly “It’s very easy to have a different policy when you are not ruling the government and don’t have to implement that policy.”
That is the problem that I believe confronts the “Hippie” government of today under Obama and his administration. They learned long ago that the riotous actions of their demonstrations, their groups (such as SDS), and the more radical splinter groups that followed would not attract the following they needed for change. Remember, Obama promised a complete change to the way the government of the USA operates. They are finding that as the ruling party, it is a different matter altogether to implement those policies.
Yes, the “Hippies” are in charge. The problem is that their form of government does not conform to the Constitution. They are trying to put a square peg in a round hole. This is why their lies keep unraveling, and this is why their methods are just wrong; they are in the wrong part of the world. We who make up what was once known as “The Silent Majority” must be silent no longer. We, as our forefathers before us, must pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our scared honor to stop them from bringing about the downfall of our nation. They are in the process of infiltrating our schools through Common Core. The are attacking our 2nd Amendment rights, they are attacking our 1st Amendment rights (through freedom of expression being targeted by the IRS), and they are assuming so many powers not listed in the Constitution it is beyond listing in a short article of this kind.
Just as when Nixon used his powers of office to spy upon and intimidate George McGovern, Obama is drunk with power. He has moved them in; the Hippies are in power. But we should remind them that they only have a short lease, and one that can be terminated at our pleasure.

Can America Endure Even More Obama Absurdities?
The Tsarnaev brothers could have been deported the moment it was known that they returned to the country they sought asylum from (or when Tamerlan was arrested and convicted for domestic violence in 2009.) Neither brother was given the boot.
Fast forward to May 14, 2013, when the Romeike family of German homeschoolers are denied asylum by Barack Obama and his twiddling twin Eric Holder. The Sixth District Court of Appeals upholds the Obama Administrations decision.
Injustice, absurdity, incongruity, and perversity are just a few of the words that can be used to describe the nonsense of the aforementioned. Bombers are in, but good parents who are raising kids with world-class intelligence that soars above anything coming out of public schools are given the boot back to Germany.
The arguments that rage between liberals and conservatives were at one time only slight political disturbances that could be hashed out between men and women who loved America and would, after some debate, buckle down and do what was right for the country in the spirit of bipartisanship. That day is all but gone.
Now, the same government that wants to wrap up all the guns in the nation (and drop them into a place where oceanic reefs can start to grow on them) has successfully kept secret all the inner workings of the most deadly and stupid gunrunning scheme in U.S. history called ‘Fast and Furious.’ More than absurdity, that immense boondoggle cost Americans their lives.
Benghazi comes in next on the great three-ring line up, and culpability and responsibility are effectively being blown off by Obama and on down to the lowest echelons of our nation’s best prevaricators. The death toll for Americans has risen, not just in war or acts of terror, but by pure dumbfounding acts of absurdity.
As late as May 14, 2013, Press Secretary Jay Carney was found using the word “tragedy” to describe Benghazi. Perhaps a terrorist attack is a tragedy; but an order to ‘stand down’ after a call for help went out, coming from the Commander in Chief or any of his subordinates, is not a tragedy. It is an actionable decision that has repercussions and responsibilities firmly riveted all over it. Tragedy, no – absurdity, yes!
Looming, creeping but steadily approaching, is the stealthy but deadly snake in the grass we call ObamaCare.
One of the greatest teachings of the Bible is a theme that some of the best have used for centuries. It comes from the Apostle Paul and is found in the book of Romans.
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8: 28)
Some people argue that this verse and the principle contained in it only work for those who “love God.” No one lives in an isolated world, and what happens to lovers of God affects the rest of the world (and the same is true of unbelievers.)
The point is that if the world (or more specifically those in this country) will not take heed to the moral decline that is all around us, there is one eye opener that believer and unbeliever alike cannot dismiss. When the pocketbook is hit hard enough, it can send shock all the way to the brain, if not the heart and soul of a people.
Mr. Obama’s endless excursions to the back green and Michele’s extravagant vacationing will all get a pass until the cupboard runs dry for the rest of America.
ObamaCare, failed green schemes, economic bailouts, and the general mishandling of the nation’s treasury will result in a reversal for our pop-culture prez quicker than any attack, scandal, or controversy. Not even the Teflon President can escape the principle of Romans 8: 28.
Until the great fiscal crash of our time arrives in full strength, we may have to endure yet more absurdities.
The militant wing of ObamaCare, the IRS, is already under pressure for its role in targeting conservative and Tea Party organizations. Franklin Graham, son of Evangelist Billy Graham, was targeted by IRS hawks, making it abundantly clear that Christian organizations are clearly seen as a threat to the liberal agenda. Obama is shocked by the scandal and knew nothing about it. Perhaps, but would he have cared – if he did know – in an election year?
The other military (under the Pentagon) has opened up to pink power while fending off those filthy-mouthed and dangerous Christian witnesses and gospel preachers.
Pot smoking in public is OK in two new states, so liberals can at least sleep and snack more, thus freeing up time for patriots and conservatives to save what little may be left of America.
Barack asked God to bless Planned Parenthood at the same time Kermit Gosnell was on trial for brutally murdering babies in Pennsylvania. Moral absurdity seems obvious here, but not to Barack Obama.
Absurdities make for exuberant and heightened conversation and debate; but when there is no money for bare essentials, the rap will dry up instantly. The ‘good’ according to Romans 8: 28 (an awakening of conscience) will then start to come forth like the squeezing of the lemon, so sour – but so necessary.
