In the movie Man of Steel, the crazed villain
General Zod uses two gigantic “world
engines” to try to recreate the planet Krypton that disintegrated many
centuries before. By placing one engine in the city of Metropolis and the other
in the southern Indian Ocean, Zod intends to physically transform the Earth
into an exact duplicate of Krypton so that he and his band of followers can
then rebuild the Kryptonian civilization to which they are accustomed. That
virtually all of humanity would be eradicated in the process bothers him not a
bit; if seven billion people have to die so that his tiny group of aliens can
enjoy an environment more hospitable to their needs, then so be it. Of course,
Superman intervenes to destroy the engines and save the day, but the damage and
death caused by Zod’s interrupted reshaping of the Earth would take decades to
undo.
Since 20 January 2009, Barack Hussein Obama has been
reshaping American society and indeed the world to fit his vision of human
existence and has largely succeeded:
- · Vast sums of wealth have been transferred from the prosperous to the indolent, from America to the rest of the world, from citizens to illegals, from his political enemies to his allies.
- · The American health care system has been restructured to favor his constituents. Thanks to the Supreme Court saving his signature legislative achievement not once but twice, Obama can force private citizens to engage in commerce of his choosing and at their cost and the law can mean whatever he says it means. Even as it collapses, as I and many other commentators predicted – Aetna announced that it lost $430 million since January 2014 and is leaving 11 of 15 markets it services because it is impossible to make a profit – Obama and his allies count it a victory because it advances his vision. Priest-King will blame the health insurance companies and capitalism itself for Obamacare’s failure and will demand that only a single program created, staffed and managed by the Federal government (the same Federal government that weaponized the IRS against conservative policy groups, that neglects, defrauds, lies about and then leaves veterans to die and that refuses to enforce immigration law) can provide and distribute health care to the American people…and to whoever else he wills. The shift from a nation based on equality of rights to one based on equality of results will go forward and Priest-King’s golden image, standing majestic and bejeweled in the pantheon of Leftist gods, will be worshipped by his hypnotized acolytes.
- · Every law prohibiting homosexuality and homosexual marriage has been struck down and opponents face ridicule, threats, lawsuits, bankruptcy and prison. Transgenderism has been elevated to a civil right. Connected to this, homosexuality is now accepted within the U.S. military and every job, even the most demanding like Special Forces and artillery, is now open to women. Eric Fanning became the first openly gay head of a service department when he was sworn in as Secretary of the Army.
- · Every effort to slow down the onrush of illegal immigrants and to deport the millions already here has been beaten back. The number and political power of sanctuary cities have grown and it is only a matter of time before illegals are granted to right to vote, creating a new Democrat constituency the size of New York.
- · Those countries normally counted as enemies of the United States – China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba – have been empowered while Bashar al-Assad, once threatened with a “red line,” still torments his own people. The impulse to directly confront ISIS has been throttled and Russia sets the agenda in both Syria and Ukraine. The Communist Castro brothers still rule Cuba, which now enjoys full diplomatic relations with the United States while not releasing a single political prisoner: Priest-King watched a baseball game in Havana while ISIS thugs murdered 32 people and injured over 300 in Brussels.
- · Despite universal revulsion at the case of Dr. Kermit Gosnell and at videos released by anti-abortion activists, Federal funding for Planned Parenthood has been protected and closing the Federal government yielded nothing.
- · By refusing to approve the Trans-Canada XL Pipeline, by imposing new EPA regulations on fuel efficiency and power plants and favoring high-cost, inefficient and low-yield alternatives like wind turbines and pond scum, Priest-King has vigorously assailed carbon-based fuels and promoted the clean energy agenda, fully cognizant that closing coal-fired power plants would cripple the U.S. economy, which derives 40% of its energy from coal.
- · His negotiating strategy of all-or-nothing, together with his defiance of U.S. law and the Constitution itself to assert dictatorial power, has ensured the survival of Obamacare and led to the crack-up of the Republican Party. Their majorities in Congress have been impotent against him, funding for his projects continues unabated and he faces no threat of impeachment for his brazen lawlessness.
- · His handpicked successor has been confirmed as the first woman to be nominated for President by a major political party and will be beholden to him throughout her administration, given he protected her from criminal prosecution for her e-mail and bribery scandals. He first defeated her and then made her his vassal, demonstrating the depth and scope of control he wields over the Democrat Party, the legal machinery of the U.S. government and American society itself, ensuring that his goal – the complete and irreversible transformation of the American republic into a Soviet oligarchy – is not only achieved but sustained.
Traditional American society in which individual rights,
limited government, achievement, drive, ambition, self-reliance, innovation,
patriotism and the two-parent, husband + wife family were cherished and
protected is disappearing, not of necessity but because it is anathema to the
modern fanatical Left. Sloth, indolence, selfishness, envy, tribalism and
degeneracy are the virtues they prize and like the psychotic General Zod, they
don’t care that the old society that spawned so much freedom and prosperity and
opportunity is destroyed so long as their
society, the one more hospitable to class warfare, racism, dissipation, vice
and rigid state control over life and death and which bathroom you can use
replaces it. Priest-King, building upon the legacy of the former
Fornicator-in-Chief, has pushed us much closer to that world and if she is
elected, Hillary Rodham Clinton will push us even further, but they strive for
a world that has already been realized: Would anyone doubt that the citizens of
Russia, Venezuela, China and North Korea live in a paradise on earth? Or
Krypton?
