RSSNational Paranoia, Part One
Gene Lalor | October 19, 2009
It’s tough today for a conservative not to feel at least a tad paranoid. Major paranoia is more likely.
After all, virtually everything spilling out of our nation’s capital is prime fodder for gut-wrenching anxiety and fear that everything we hold dear is headed for history’s scrap heap along with our nation that was once, not in the very distant past, a shining city on Ronald Reagan’s visionary hill.
Now we have Obama’s vision for our national future, sort of a mix between Saul Alinsky’s vision and Bill Ayers’. That’s not really much of a mix unless you consider whether imminent revolution is preferable to a gradual upheaval.
Personally, I thought Gerald Ford was a dolt. And when Jimmy Carter capitalized on the nation’s revulsion over Watergate by getting himself elected as president in 1976 I figured, Well, maybe some change is good, that this southern Democrat, even if he confessed to lusting in his heart in Playboy, might be refreshing.
We all lust to some extent or another, and any number of Barack Obama’s buddies and czars suffer from a twisted gay lust, but Jimmah seemed as if he just might be a good thing for America.
Fortunately, Carter soon made Americans think ABC, Anyone But Carter, after he managed to drive interest rates into the stratosphere, made “stagflation” a new word, buried our national pride, and gutted our armed forces.
In his defense, he did stage an awesome retaliation against a vicious attack rabbit.
That nasty rabbit should have been the tip-off that something was radically awry in Carterland. America temporarily rectified the defect with Ronaldus Magnus in 1980.
Reagan’s reign lasted a mere 8 years.
Madame de Pompadour–not France’s Louis XV–famously said, ”After me, the deluge,” but that deluge didn’t happen until the storming of the Bastille 
under his successor, followed by the beheading of Louis XVI and his bride, Marie.
What followed Reagan was a descent into one worldism which became national policy under George Herbert Walker Bush, was continued under William Jefferson (Blythe) Clinton, and survived George Walker Bush.
Revolutions tend to take a while to blossom into bloody glory, as do dictatorships.
There’s another dictatorial revolution in progress in 2009. Hopefully, its progress will be stopped before it devolves into violence and a full-fledged, second American civil war.
As much as liberal pundits despise the analogy, there are various valid comparisons between Obama and Hitler.
The 1933 elected leader of Germany didn’t launch the Holocaust and despotism and World War II overnight. It took more than a year for Hitler to consolidate his dictatorship, although the ominous signs were present from the outset.
President Barack Hussein Obama was elected less than a year ago and he has been in office barely nine months but dark signals of what America could expect from him date back to his days as a Chicago “community organizer” and acolyte of the aforementioned Alinsky and Ayers.
As with Louis XVI and Hitler, relatively few could divine what lay ahead, although, again, the signs were and are there for all but the terminally-obtuse to read and interpret.
Paranoia is a debilitating illness. What’s tragically worse is ignorance which enables evil perpetrators to escape detection to accomplish their nefarious aims and ambitions.
Congenital, Panglossian optimists preach that it can’t happen here. I prefer the view that even paranoiacs can have deadly enemies. No one aside from Islamic maniacs anticipated 9/11 either.
