As typical
wingnuts, Republicans are not only resistant to
progress, they are inherently incapable of change. They are as incapable
of changing their practice of taking from the masses to enrich the
wealthy few as they are wavering from their six-year assertion that an
African American President hates America and gives aid to the enemy to
destroy America. However, their issue with Barack Obama is not
necessarily his skin color or his party affiliation although they are
certainly a contributing factor. The wingnuts’ real issue is that
the President does not allow Republicans to dictate how America is
governed. In Republicans’ minds, because President Obama is not with
them, he hates America and supports its enemies.
In keeping with the shrub ideology that any American, or any nation, that “
is not with us is our enemy,”
Republicans are once again portraying the President of the United
States as an enemy conspirator and collaborator with the Islamic State.
Not because he has joined forces with Iran, Saudi Arabia, France,
Russia, Iraq, Iraqi Kurds, and Turks to destroy the shrub-created ISIL,
but because he adheres to America’s long-standing exceptionalism of
giving war-weary refugees a safe haven.
The latest Republican accusation that the President of the United
States is defending shrub’s creation ISIL and waging war on Republicans
as surrogates for “
true America” is Wagner
(R-MO) and Limbaugh, respectively. They are not alone in their
assertions, but they certainly represent the mindset of the conservative
movement.
Obviously, in Wagner’s mind because the President disagrees with
Republicans on the Syrian refugee issue he is supporting the Islamic
State. On a radio interview Wagner
said that because the President “
picked a fight with the republican cabal over refugees, he was standing up for ISIL.” Wagner also said “
the president’s comments about refugees,” being women and orphans, and “
mocking Republicans and calling their rhetoric a potent ISIL recruitment tool was disgusting and an absolute disgrace, and a stand against the side of freedom;” all because the President disagrees with stupid, cowardly, panicked, and cruel Republicans.
Wagner even thought to include the 47 House Democrats who joined
Republicans to reject Syrian refugees as completely agreeing that the
President is against freedom and for ISIL.
Limbaugh took a slightly different approach in
claiming that the President hates America and considers that nation’s “
number one enemy is the Republican cabal and the wingnut delusion.” Limbaugh claimed that because the President is not following the shrub war-first agenda his foreign policy is “
inept and incompetent and nonexistent.”
While he was demeaning the President for not being a Republican
warmonger, Limbaugh laughingly dismissed the barrage of Republican “
bigotry”
attacks against Muslim Americans; including claiming that “the
President and those others like him” support ISIL as pay back against
patriotic Americans for what they believe are “
America’s past crimes.”
First, President Obama never said Republicans or wingnuts are
America’s number one enemy. (Every other sane person in the world has.) However, many, many Americans know this is a
true and verifiable fact of life. It is noteworthy that this President
has been extremely generous in praising Republicans as being great
patriots who have a different idea about how America should be “
ruled”
according to wingnut tyranny and loyalty to the rich. In fact,
these latest remarks that the President supports ISIL because he is not a
cruel Republican fundamentally proves the point that they truly believe
that anyone who does not embrace wingnut dictates believes that
Republicans are “
America’s number one enemy.” This is a
uniquely neo-wingnut ideology and the Republican cabal’s six-year crusade to
obstruct any form of governance that is not Republican wingnuttery (theocratic libertarianism) proves it.
Now, just because the President did not say Republicans are America’s
greatest enemy does not mean there is not a very substantial number of
Americans who believe that to be true; including that congressional
Republicans have come precariously close to committing treason by
conspiring with foreign governments against the United States. And
regarding ISIL, if the shrub did not invade Iraq for regime change,
oil, and to kill over half-a-million innocent Muslim civilians,
President Obama would not have to invest American assets to destroy the
extremists.
As far as who in America is actually “
standing up for” and
aiding ISIL to achieve their goals; that is solely Republicans, all
manner of wingnuts, and the hate-filled religio-wingnuts. Remember,
the most recent Republican lurch toward Nazi fascism targeting Muslims
is precisely what the Islamic State leadership said
they needed as “
a very potent recruiting tool”
back in February. It is noteworthy that the ramped-up bigotry toward
Muslims due to the rise of the shrub’s ISIL began long before Paris
was attacked. Republicans have been driving the American increase in “
repression and Islamophobia to sufficiently unbearable levels;” precisely what President Obama is attempting to stop.
Republicans know President Obama is not supporting ISIL or standing
up against freedom just because he refuses to let them run the country.
They also understand that he does not consider them to be “
America’s enemy number one”
because of Syrian refugees that would not exist if the shrub did not invade
Iraq. However, they have claimed this President hates America since
before he was sworn into office when the Republican cabal and wingnut delusion officially became “America’s enemy number one;” it
is something the President never said but no small number of Americans
know is true.
