The New Boston Tea Party – by Dennis Prager
I have been broadcasting for 31 years and writing for longer than that. I do not recall ever saying on radio or in print that a president is doing lasting damage to our country. I did not like the presidencies of Jimmy Carter (the last Democrat I voted for) or Bill Clinton. Nor did I care for the “compassionate conservatism” of George W. Bush. In modern political parlance “compassionate” is a euphemism for ever-expanding government.
But I have never written or broadcast that our country was being seriously damaged by a president. So it is with great sadness that I write that President Barack Obama has done and continues to do major damage to America. The only question is whether this can ever be undone.
This is equally true domestically and internationally.
Domestically, his policies have had a grave impact on the American economy.
He has overseen the weakest recovery from a recession in modern American history.
He has mired the country in unprecedented levels of debt: about $6.5 trillion — that is 6,500 billion — in five years (this after calling his predecessor “unpatriotic” for adding nearly $5 trillion in eight years).
He has fashioned a country in which more Americans now receive government aid — means-tested, let alone non-means-tested — than work full-time.
He has no method of paying for this debt other than printing more money — thereby surreptitiously taxing everyone through inflation, including the poor he claims to be helping, and cheapening the dollar to the point that some countries are talking about another reserve currency — and saddling the next generations with enormous debts.
His 2,500-page Affordable Care Act he has made it impossible for hundreds of thousands, soon millions, of Americans to keep their individual or employer-sponsored group health insurance; he has stymied American medical innovation with an utterly destructive tax on medical devices; and he has caused hundreds of thousands of workers to lose full-time jobs because of the health-care costs imposed by Obamacare on employers.
His Internal Revenue Service used its unparalleled power to stymie political dissent. No one has been held accountable.
His ambassador to Libya and three other Americans were murdered by terrorists in Benghazi, Libya. No one has been blamed. The only blame the Obama administration has leveled was on a video maker in California who had nothing to do with the assault.
In this president’s White House the buck stops nowhere.
Among presidents in modern American history, he has also been a uniquely divisive force. It began with his forcing Obamacare through Congress — the only major legislation in American history to be passed with no votes from the opposition party.
Though he has had a unique opportunity to do so, he has not only not helped heal racial tensions, he has exacerbated them. His intrusions into the Trayvon Martin affair (“If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon”) and into the confrontation between a white police officer and a black Harvard professor (the police “acted stupidly”) were unwarranted, irresponsible, demagogic, and, most of all, divisive.
He should have been reassuring black Americans that America is in fact the least racist country in the world — something he should know as well as anybody, having been raised only by whites and being the first (Mulatto, half breed) black elected the leader of a white-majority nation.
Instead, he echoed the inflammatory speeches of professional race-baiters such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
He has also divided the country by economic class, using classic Marxist language against “the rich” and “corporate profits.”
Regarding America in the world, he has been, if possible, even more damaging. The United States is at its weakest, has fewer allies, and has less military and diplomatic influence than at any time since before World War II.
One wonders if there is a remaining ally nation that trusts him. And worse, no American enemy fears him. If you are a free movement (the democratic Iranian and Syrian oppositions) or a free country (Israel), you have little or no reason to believe that you have a steadfast ally in the United States.
Even non-democratic allies no longer trust America. Barack Obama has alienated our most important and longest standing Arab allies, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Both the anti–Muslim Brotherhood and the anti-Iran Arab states have lost respect for him.
And his complete withdrawal of American troops from Iraq has left that country with weekly bloodbaths.
Virtually nothing Barack Obama has done has left America or the world better since he became president. Nearly everything he has touched has been made worse.
He did, however, promise before the 2008 election that “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.” That is the one promise he has kept.
What does it take for the American people to WAKE UP?

No, it cannot be fixed. The machine is now contaminated with the filth of Soviet Socialism and those PROMOTING it are deep in the system of AmeriKa. Buy what ever arms and ammo you can find.War is comimg. Liberty 1775 MGK/GDW!
Hi Mr. Koernke,
RIGHT YOU ARE!!!!!!
“Fixing” something means there is desire to keep what you have,… to get it to operate “correctly”.
That is NOT the case with what we have, which is an, “ENEMY FORCE IN OCCUPATION”!!,.. period,.. bar none.
We do NOT wish to “fix” this, as we do NOT wish to retain these usurpers, fakes, frauds, ENEMIES of America!!!
There is ONLY ONE SOLUTION: They must be removed (arrested, tried, convicted, HUNG),.. and REPLACED with a legitimate, Constitutional, American gov’t!
Since these pyschos will NEVER leave willingly (they are dug in like an Alabama tick….),… THEY have defined the only method that will work,.. direct confrontation, direct assault, and extermination of this diseased individuals/traitors/pyscho-sociopaths/dual-citizen infiltrators.
That’s it,.. no other solution will work,.. as Julius Caesar stated when he needed to cross the Rubicon with his legions on January 10, 49 BC,,… “The Die Has Been Cast!” (referring to dice,.. and the chance that one can always lose,.. or WIN!)
JD – US Marines – For America, American Nationals,.. and us Patriots,.. the Rubicon has been crossed by this “Enemy Force In Occupation”, the “Die Has Been Cast”,… and we MUST eject these enemy forces from out midst. There is no other option left.
Impeach and get rid of the communist kosher mafia puppet masters!
Tall tree, short rope…
Get him out! He is not a legal President … detain, arrest, and deport (or imprison) him along with his transvestite wife(?)! While you’re at it grab up the Clinton’s on the way out the door.
Reverse all those illegal Executive Orders he put into place. Undo the un-Constitutional Obamacare tax grab, undo the Patriot Act and we are headed in the right direction toward healing this country.
*Side note* … notice they aren’t prancing their(?) daughters in front of the media any longer. One wonders what gives?
. . .
I like the eagle picture with the sparklies….but what’s with the six pointed star made up of little stars? I find that very disconcerting.
Not holding my breath on this one.
I guess I’m the only one who noticed.
The eyes ain’t what they used to be, tammyc. Not seeing it.
Never mind. In the circle.
I thought you were talking about the sparkling stars forming one. My bad.
