Thanking GOD for “ Un-Guides ” – Barack Obama … ( 09 / 01 / 2014 )

In providing a few examples of " False Prophets ", I start with a relatively atypical example -- and yet a very important one . For Mr . Obama is a " False Prophet " not because of what he says he believes , but rather for what his actions show him to actually support … He claims to be a reliable fighter for the rights of the American people -- especially the downtrodden and the less fortunate , and yet his long string of broken promises in this regard say exactly the opposite ; showing him to be a man who panders instead to big corporations , military manufacturers , lobbyists and power-brokers .
Yes , it is true that a sizable portion of this patent ineptitude rests squarely on the shoulders of the stagnant sham that is the American Congress , and yet the ineffectiveness itself is not what makes Obama a " False Prophet ". Rather , it is his refusal to stand up for the principles of equality & justice & peace that does so .
Granted , due to the irreparably broken state of the American government as a whole , we cannot expect any President ( or any other political " leader " for that matter ) to make any headway on the issues that truly matter . And yet what we COULD be seeing is a man at the very least willing to publicly & consequently stand firm on those issues . Consider the following Truths …
* We COULD be seeing a man who uses his executive power to close the prison in Guantanamo , instead of meekly allowing its egregious human rights violations to continue ...
* We COULD be seeing a man who demands that all Americans receive quality healthcare -- insurance company profit losses be damned , instead of caving in and pushing through a drastically watered-down " Obamacare " plan that still allows so many to suffer under a health care system that remains one of the least equitable in the world ...
* We COULD be seeing a man who uses his influence to diminish the insidious , Orwellian powers of the NSA & the CIA -- to abolish the Patriot Act even , instead of actively using them to spy on his own constituency and label even peaceful animal rights activists as " terrorists " ( as is currently the case under the still un-repealed AETA ) ...
* And we COULD be seeing a Nobel Peace Prize winner who refuses to make hollow excuses for actually creating terrorists when his illegitimate dronestrikes " succeed ", and for murdering innocent civilians & children when they ( more often than not ) do not .
