The Left Nails their Messiah to the Cross: But Have they Truly abandoned Him? |
Three years-ago, President Obama could walk on water and raise a dying economy, but lately the left has been nailing their Messiah to the cross,declaring Obama “caved on the debt ceiling” and compromised to Republican policies. The Left is angry with Mr. Obama. The Anointed One failed to change America into his promised John Rawls-style state of leftist social equality and that wealth-spreading social justice.
Nevertheless, conservatives should not assume the left will abandon its Anointed One. After all, the left wants expanding government and radical collective policies, so, while they may hurl Obama under the bus from time-to-time, the left will not run him over.
Under the Obama Administration, progressives recouped some of its lost ground. Government spending increased dramatically, Welfare Reform and Don’t-Ask-Don’t-Tell were repealed, Obamacare was signed into law and unemployment benefits have been considerably extended causing many Americans to choose this form of glorified welfare over seeking jobs. These developments fit the leftist Utopian dream and should have them praising Obama’s achievements. However, Obama’s policies have falteredlately: Job loss numbers have soared to historic highs across the country, including those environmental green jobs companies the left established with great fanfare, but are now going bankrupt.
