Guest Post: President Obama, Demopublican

President Obama, Demopublican

President Obama's signal accomplishments could easily have been signed into law by a moderate Republican.

The corporate Mainstream Media depends on ideological differences to generate "news" and advertising revenues, and the Status Quo depends on ideological differences to generate fear "of the other side" and enthusiasm "for our side."

As the 2012 election season kicks off in earnest, we have to ask: exactly what is the difference between President Obama's actual policies and those of centerist Republicans?

The president recently highlighted three centerpiece accomplishments of his supposedly rabidly Democratic administration:

1. Ending the war in Iraq

2. Ending the Armed Forces' policy of "don't ask, don't tell"

3. Passing sickcare reform, oops, I mean "healthcare" reform

If we examine these supposedly tremendous accomplishments, we find that moderate Republicans were equally capable of passing such lukewarm reforms. The war in Iraq was deeply unpopular, acceptance of gays is increasingly mainstream, and healthcare reform had been on everyone's agenda for years.

Anyone with the slightest grasp of American history could find equally "liberal" accomplishments in the administrations of Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and even George Bush 1. Indeed, it could easily be argued that Obama ended the war far later than a moderate Republican might have, and that he caved into the sickcare Status Quo to such a degree that his "reform" essentially accomplishes nothing.

The hundreds of pages of reform boil down to a super-committee that is supposedly going to set prices and practices lower in the future. Meanwhile the program is at least 40% waste and fraud and continues growing at multiples of the underlying economy and tax revenues.

By any measure, this "reform" simply confirms the healthcare cartels remain firmly in charge.

On the other side the of the ledger, Obama continues the FUBAR war in Afghanistan, sacrificing American lives and treasure for political posturing, and he agreed ("with reservations") to a congressional bill that gives the President unprecedented rights to impose "prolonged detention" on suspected terrorists and handing them to the U.S. Armed Forces, even as the military insists it has no interest or need in assuming such detention responsibilities.

Would a moderate Republican have agreed to gut the Bill of Rights with such tepid "reservations"?

It can be argued that Obama, visibly uncomfortable with members of the Armed Forces and fearful of being labeled "soft" on terrorism, has carved out an essentially fascist policy far to the right of even "rock-ribbed" Republicans.

From a more objective view stripped of phony ideological parsing, what exactly is the difference between Obama's policies and those of moderate Republicans? We can get a better grasp on his Demopublican nature by asking a few key questions:

How many bloated weapons systems has he cancelled? (Zero)

How many overseas bases of the Empire has he closed? (none)

Who runs his financial policies? Wall Street cronies.

I think you get the idea here: there is literally no difference between Obama and a moderate Republican when it comes to the truly important policies governing the nation's insolvent finances, its predatory financial sector, its corrupt and fraudulent sickcare system or its sprawling Empire.

Obama's policies have all aided and abetted existing Status Quo cartels and fiefdoms. He has changed absolutely nothing of import except further eroding civil liberties.

President Obama can be charitably characterized as an ineffectual Demopublican. From those demanding more, then he can be accurately described as a well-meaning puppet of Wall Street and the rest of the Status Quo cartels and fiefdoms.

Longtime readers know I reject all the phony ideological "differences" between the two stooge parties; in reality, the differences are purely cosmetic and are exaggerated for propaganda and fund-raising purposes. Both stooge parties are in thrall to Wall Street and the financial sector, the sickcare cartels, etc., and both support a global Empire and endlessly rising public debt to finance their cronies. Both have consistently supported private profits while shifting monumental losses to the public. Both have consistently supported an out-of-control Federal Reserve. In every truly important way, the two stooge parties are merely two sides of the same Imperial coin.

Ah Snake, 

You are alluding to a very old and false trope.  To blame one or another group for the economic decline of the past 30-40 years is patently ridiculous, if not outlandish and stupid.  Except for the central bankers and their clients, free trade, union-busting, and outsourcing.  A more intelligent post would be too much for you.  Dickhead.

he blamed a list of individuals, you frickin idiot, not an ENTIRE group.

He only identified that these people on the list have a clan affiliation.  It is pretty clear to anyone who's dealt with this that significant racist, ethnic nepotism takes place in their favor by other members.

I don't think any Republican could get away with the erosion of constitutional liberties like we have seen under Barry Soetero. He knows he has cover from the MSM, so there simply is no media outrage. If the NDAA would have been signed by a Repub, Rachel Maddow & Chris Matthews would be screaming in protest from the lawn of the WH. Useful idiots.

The only true different Repub is Ron Paul. I don't see him as somebody who would continue to erode the rights of the individual.

We get these clown ass puppets who then get basically held hostage while in office.   Bush was the same way, leverage keeps these clowns in check.  Bush's noose was that 9/11 was an inside job, Obama's is his faking killing Osama Bin Laden and possibly his place of birth.  THEY ARE COWARDS, locked into office and told to follow the storyline.

This guy isn't different.  Obama will get away with it, too.

Does anyone have any suggestions regarding a new way to distinguish between the positions? If the left is representative of communism (international socialism), liberalism, and progressivism then assigning fascism/national socialism to the right leaves no room for small-government types. Where then does libertarianism fit in on the left-right scale? Certainly is is not in the middle. Ditto for those who are strict constructionists when it comes to the U.S. Constitution. I personally favor putting big government types on one end and small government types on the other, with each end having one or more branches. I just lack the terminology to define it.

Ultimately, I think, we can't just go around using ill-defined terms like liberal or conservative, right or left, etc. Can anyone help here?

THEY are INside the system they've created, YOU are OUTside this same system, by design.

however, you can choose to remove yourself by not believing any of it, and acting accordingly.  there will still be restrictions and limits should they arise, but learn to be nimble, and dodge what you can.

I think Romney can beat Obama pretty handily, especially in 11 months when shit has REALLY went to hell after this long, hot summer of riots to come. They are effectively the same person anyway - owned by banks and corporate interests. I have found Mormons to be very genuinely honest and trustworthy people without fail. I hope Romney holds to that experience even though I do have reservations about his past and his connections with banks and corporate interests.

I doubt Romney can beat Obama.  During 2008 Iowa caucus, Democrats turned out 227K verse Republican 120K.  This year the Repubs brought 122K.  Plus, caucuses are a pain in the ass, as opposed to pulling a lever of pushinga button for the great one.  Obama is a shoe-in against anyone but Ron Paul.  Why do I say that?  Ron Paul supporters won't hold their nose to vote for anyone.  They will just sit out the election as it will final materialize that voting matters not.

Because most Democrats voted against Gramm-Leach-Bliley, I think that many people in 2008 (particularly independents) thought that by electing a Democratic president and a Democratic supermajority in congress they could get Gramm-Leach-Bliley repealed.

WRONG!

The Democrats did nothing that would significantly decrease the powers of the bankers and the financial industry. So they are still out there issuing derivatives, and who knows what other new "financial weapons of mass destruction" and happily setting up our next financial crisis.

Gramm-Leach-Bliley was the single most destructive piece of legislation passed in the last century. Repealing it should have been a no-brainer! But neither party shows any inclination to do anything about it.

If it isn't clear by now here is a summary. Both parties want to amass great personal wealth by indulging the sheep in petty squable over minor differences.  Psycho manipulating the sheep into thinking gay marriage, abortion, marijuana, don't ask don't tell and immigration are issues that require great thought and discussion over decades while the country has gone bankrupt and the standard of living, down the drain. They have been doing this in collusion with the banksters for eons. Yes, there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats.

He was also the last President to attack the central banks and tried to hold the gold standard -

"Democrat Grover Cleveland (1885-1889, 1893-1897) may have been the greatest gold standard advocate ever to serve as president. In his first term, Cleveland singlehandedly preserved the gold standard at a time when the Democrats split bitterly over the money issue and populism. However, his opposition to tariffs cost him the 1888 election.

When Cleveland left office after his first term, the Treasury had a large gold reserve, but it was depleted by Republican Benjamin Harrison (1889-1893). In 1890, Harrison signed the Sherman Silver Purchase Act, requiring the Treasury to buy 4.5 million ounces of silver monthly. To buy the silver, Treasury was to issue a new type of paper money known as Treasury notes. The act was a victory for the Populists, who held that deflation, which hurt farmers, could be reversed by free silver policies. Deflation continued, the gold reserve dropped, private banking tightened, and the Panic of 1893 ensued.

Re-elected and back in the White House, Cleveland attacked the Silver Purchase Act as a “dangerous and reckless experiment. . . .” He called for its repeal to restore confidence in the dollar. Cleveland knew Gresham’s Law and defended gold against inflationists in his own Democratic Party. Congress tried to compromise, but Cleveland would not yield and the act was repealed. Cleveland was the last Democratic president to support gold. The Populists, whose presidential candidate won more than a million votes in 1892, returned to the Democrats four years later as supporters of William Jennings Bryan." - freemanonline.org

Actually, no - science as an establishment (aka "the scientific community"), is many things, and driven by quite clear motivations...... that have little to do with the CONCEPT of science.

Basically, there is "scientism" and there is "science".... the former is a subculture, worldview and decentralized organization....... the later simply is a bunch of methods to do research.

By "implementation of 'discoveries' of science" are you referring to engineering? Just curious.

"Science is science, it's a means of observation/study" describes only a subset of science. Science should also be able to draw conclusions, make predictions and finally to test the predictions. Good science leads to good engineering.

Some science is therefore not true science. Evolutionists (on the macro scale; micro evolution seems to be built into the DNA) love to observe, then draw some absurd (statistically impossible) conclusions by ignoring inconvenient facts. They are like the blind men in the fable, each trying to describe an elephant based on touching a single part of the beast.The result is numerous heralded announcements followed by quiet retractions. Macro evolution can't be predicted, much less tested. Indeed, there is no basis for making predictions, so it is generally a waste of time as a science. They might as well attribute the existence of different species to magic. At least the scientists who dabble in the seemingly magical world of quantum mechanics - ever hear of quantum entanglement? It may as well be magic - can make predictions and test them.

Mr. Obama let the space shuttle program end, which was the right thing to do.  It should have been ended 25 years ago after the Challenger disaster.  The Apollo moon missions were a fantastic success and should have been the prelude to colonizing the moon.  Instead of that NASA has spent hundreds of billions on manned space travel and we have very little to show for it.

He argues both the left and right suffer from the undue influence of corporate lobbying and unlimited campaign financing, but also lays out a strategy to fight corruption that’s resulted from this influence, including a call for a constitutional convention that could then propose an amendment to transform how elections are financed."

If you want to really know the 'Inside" group,  Read 'Tradegy & Hope'  by quigley.  

BTW, he was Bill Clinton's mentor in college.   Why do you think he was a (Cecil) Rhodes scholar ?

The below quote is from the "Elite's" perspective  (which Quigley was )

 Carroll Quiqley on the Two Party System

  "The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one perhaps of the Right, and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can 'throw the rascals out' at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy... But either party in office becomes in time corrupt, tired, unenterprising, and vigorless. Then it should be possible to replace it, every four years if necessary, by the other party, which will be none of these things but will still pursue, with new vigor, approximately the same policies". -- Carroll Quigley, "Tragedy and Hope", 1966, p. 1247-48

yes ruling from the center, or appearing to, seems indispensable to winning nationally-elected office, of which there is ONE [or perhaps 2rolled-into1 after certain changes were made to the original separate ballots for both these "people of the people" are elected, or at least voted-for.  i think]

1 prez;  everything else is basically state & local candidates, even for fed_congo offices

elect one citizen, every four years to run big brother and the dog and pony holding co.

you'd think we'd get it right every now/then;  but the parties, altho not mentioned in the constitution and certain "civic groups and processes" generally control the selection and nomination processes.  in and out of rooms full of the wrong kinda smoke

money; lies; deceit; and corporate influence are essential to just make most city councils, for pete's sake, so here, we border on the mythic/archetypal

remember:  do not look behind the curtain

then either tweedlee-dee or tweedlee-dum will get elected;  one "party" will win the entire non-career + career Exec Branch;  the congo will remain a bi-partisan flea circus for special interests, the courts will continue to forget the Constitution and Due Process ever existed, and The People shall walk thru The Valley of the shadow of death and fear no evil;  for they are the evilest sons of BiCheZ in The Valley...

Now that we're well on to Page Two of the comments section, I can now vent.

The biggest misperception among the electorate isn't whether Obama is considered a "moderate Republican" from years gone past-- it's the total buy-in of the electorate to think in solely in terms of "right vs. left", or "conservative vs. liberal".

In other words, the whole voting public could use a good tutorial in knowing how to use a freaking Nolan Chart, and gaining an appreciation of how our leaders have gravitated on the "Statist vs. Libertarian" continuum over the years, as opposed to "conservative versus liberal".  Unfortunately, the unwashed masses are either too lazy or too stupid to think of things on a second plane.

The primary reason why Democrats and Republicans look the same these days is because both parties have strongly endorsed and moved strongly in the direction of incrementally taking our social and economic liberties away in favor of imposing statist-type solutions.  When one thinks "crony capitalism" or "facism", one should think of an extreme form of statism that also happens to be "right-leaning".

The bigger surprise with Obama, in my opinion, is that he took the momentum that Bush Jr. was building in taking our social freedoms away (think Partiot Act), and continued moving in a fascist direction by aggressively taking away our economic freedoms (think bank bailouts, no prosecutions, exploding government debt levels, Fed intervention into free market activites).  All the while, he has done absolutely nothing to reverse all the damage Bush did on the social side... in fact, he might just be signing off on a bill that will add to greater state control of the civil masses.  All of this is in the name of "protecting the public"-- whether it's from keeping the public safe from terrorists -- or from keeping the public safe from finanical collapse.

Until the electorate gets a clue of what is happening on the "statist vs. libertarian" plane, the Elites will suck up every last vestige of power they can through corruptive and coercive means-- and there doesn't seem to be anything that is stopping their momentum.  As it stands, Ron Paul is one of the very few considered "mainstream" politicians that is making an effort to block that momentum toward a facist state-- but neither the Republican Party nor the Mainstream Media have any interest whatsoever to make Ron Paul electable.  A good chunk of the Democratic Party power structure have absolutely no interest in pushing more moderate libertarian agenda either.

The mere fact the Ron Paul garnered over 20% of the Iowa GOP Caucus vote is pretty incredible, given the circumstances.  Unfortunately, the electorate doesn't have a clue of identifying what they want to represent their country, so they'll vote "right vs. left" in 2012 as well.  Heck, I don't even think that most of the electorate here have any idea what the word "Liberty" means.  And to think that our Founding Fathers would have died in fighting for someting most of us dont understand (or take for granted).

Geezer you should use the scale of the founders in the US . When evaluating types of government, they were not comparing left and right (false paradim) , they were using a scale comparing the size of government. On the "left" of that scale you had no government (anarchy-law of the wild) and on the right you had total government (facism,communism,socialism). They were trying to craft a form in the "middle" where government would be small but would be prevented from growing by the constitution : a republic

I am afraid it will take nothing short of a COMPLETE ECONOMIC COLLAPSE  of the nation before the people begin to ask themselves: Maybe we should be doing something else?

On the other side the of the ledger, Obama continues the FUBAR war in Afghanistan, sacrificing American lives and treasure for political posturing, and he agreed ("with reservations") to a congressional bill that gives the President unprecedented rights to impose "prolonged detention" on suspected terrorists and handing them to the U.S. Armed Forces, even as the military insists it has no interest or need in assuming such detention responsibilities.

The first thing every one needs to do is to stop referencing Iraq and Afghanistan as "WARS". They are not wars. They are War Crimes. For those still waiting for the tooth fairy to swap your milk teeth for a quarter, here's why:

Afghanistan: The most pretentious smarty pants in the room assert Afghanistan was a righteous genocide. It takes 3 things to legally arrest and / or extradite a criminal suspect. First let's set aside the fact that not many voodoo witch doctors have the power, outside a Hollywood FX production or proclaimed fables issued from the lying mouths of murderous K-Street Kiddie Brothel Fondler Johns receiving comp fantasy sessions with some young (and no too hung) `un's, courtesy of the War Usury Queens, for a raucous "romp `n find the quarter" with pre-schoolers in the many congressional hat rooms to do the alchemy that politically transforms mindless fantasy into mindless reality. Those are 1) A live perp,  2) a live perp that admits to the crime or 3) a live perp and enough evidence to present to a grand jury for an indictment.

CIA agent alleged to have met Bin Laden in July 2001 (The Guardian, Wednesday 31 October 2001 22.17 EST)

Two months before September 11 Osama bin Laden flew to Dubai for 10 days for treatment at the American hospital, where he was visited by the local CIA agent, according to the French newspaper Le Figaro.

The disclosures are known to come from French intelligence which is keen to reveal the ambiguous role of the CIA, and to restrain Washington from extending the war to Iraq and elsewhere.
...
Bin Laden has often been reported to be in poor health. Some accounts claim that he is suffering from Hepatitis C, and can expect to live for only two more years.

According to Le Figaro, last year he ordered a mobile dialysis machine to be delivered to his base at Kandahar in Afghanistan.

Report: Bin Laden Already Dead (Published December 26, 2001 FOXNews)

Usama bin Laden has died a peaceful death due to an untreated lung complication, the Pakistan Observer reported, citing a Taliban leader who allegedly attended the funeral of the Al Qaeda leader.

"The Coalition troops are engaged in a mad search operation but they would never be able to fulfill their cherished goal of getting Usama alive or dead," the source said.
..
The Taliban source who claims to have seen bin Laden's face before burial said "he looked pale ... but calm, relaxed and confident."  

Top US Government Insider: Bin Laden Died In 2001, 9/11 A False Flag (Prison Planet, May 2011)

Top US government insider Dr. Steve R. Pieczenik, a man who held numerous different influential positions under three different Presidents and still works with the Defense Department, shockingly told The Alex Jones Show yesterday that Osama Bin Laden died in 2001 and that he was prepared to testify in front of a grand jury how a top general told him directly that 9/11 was a false flag inside job.

Pieczenik cannot be dismissed as a “conspiracy theorist”. He served as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State under three different administrations, Nixon, Ford and Carter, while also working under Reagan and Bush senior, and still works as a consultant for the Department of Defense. A former US Navy Captain, Pieczenik achieved two prestigious Harry C. Solomon Awards at the Harvard Medical School as he simultaneously completed a PhD at MIT.

The government's conspiracy theory is that:

Bin Ladden hypno channeled a rag tag gang of suicide dudes .. err ... a few Egyptains and Saudis (not a single Iraqi or Afghani in the bunch), who packed thier Jammy's (for, just guessing, flight #666 to some airport north of nothingness and just south of eternity, where they planned to stay a few days learning how to "juice for health"), and, who had, BTW, left their Al KaDuh Terrorist Training Manuals (guessing they memorized them while drinking and lap dancing on Talmudic Academic, government lobbyist, Jackoff Smirnoff Abramnoff's dead partner's Cruise Ship) in a rental car, and BTW, one had a  passport fabricated with an extraterrestrial material that withstood the ravages of a full frontal fireball so terrible that even their flights indestructible black box flight recorder could not withstand and took control of the aeroplane by threatening [mostly] Government workers (of whom most were according to the alleged flights' manifests - or - so they say) with inch and a half box cutter blades (giggly giggly giggly and double dog giggly) with the old "be calm while we crash you into a building or you'll risk tetanus from my teeny weenie box cutter's scratch). After the crash, the only survivors were five of the terrorists and a Naval autopsy of the alleged corpses (witnesses said no bodies at Pentagon) revealed nary a single strand Arab DNA in the lot. There'll be Hell To Pay 4-sure vato!

Somebody must have made a killing replacing all them NYC boilers now that we know kerosene melts 16 inch thick I frame base girder columns!

Ex CIA employee, asset, and whistle blower, Susan Lindauer, after serving a year for refusing to be silent in a government dungeon says "sure" the planes were hijacked, but not by drunkards who practiced on Microsoft Fright Stimulator with their Floridian Israeli Art Student apartment complex neighbors, but by remote control.

Now, you know better than anyone, cases like these are never solved. They're simply too complicated, too much hard work. There's a lot going on out there in this world. And you just never can connect A to B.

How do you know that?

Because I'm usually the guy that stops you connecting A to B. It's part of what I do.

Maybe the reason there are so many accounts of Bin's death is that there were so many different Bin's.

There was no live perp that admitted to the crime

Bin Laden says he wasn't behind attacks (CNN September 16, 2001)

Islamic militant leader Osama bin Laden, the man the United States considers the prime suspect in last week's terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, denied any role Sunday in the actions believed to have killed thousands.

There was no live perp or enough evidence to present to a grand jury for an indictment

The US Justice Department Lacks Evidence To Indict Bin Laden For 9/11 Attacks

Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI responded, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Osama bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11.”

Warning: Now, if it makes you feel all warm `n gooey inside your double secrets to believe that the nassity Bin Voodooed the whole thing - and then was assassinated in his million dollar Mansion (with that whole "post modern" extension chord wiring design) watching hisself, on a grainy vintage 12 inch color TV in his million dollar mansion (despite the fact the neighbors that lived in his hood for years and said the "old" man ABCNNBCBS called Devil Bin, was just some poor bloke that married a young, but ugly and bitchey bitch for a wife) and was killed by Seal Team 6 (despite the fact the neighborhood said they saw a bunch of dead Pashtun guys and body parts dressed up in US uniforms after an explosion and then, million dollar mansion Bin's corpse got a quick stop DNA analysis performed in 30 minutes at a Local DNA / Photo Mat in a Pakistani Strip Mall Parking Lot - [and] was then buried at sea - followed by, not too much later - the death of the entire Seal Team 6 that we be told "head shot" the most recent Bin Guy - then just keep your rancid milk tooth under the pillow - the tooth fairy will convert it real soon - cross heart and cry laughing - promise.

Iraq is easy - no WMD - no 911 connection - just another genocide on the path of avarice greed and lust of little men to enlarge themselves in the Rut of a War on Terror Gold Rush! (see my thumb?)

And that's why I don't do two shows a night folks. I just won't.

Ah, US citizens and their castle of propaganda.

Repubocrat or something?

Made me laugh.

Hiding under the rug.

Here's the short version, no needs to invent useless inventions.

Obama is your typical US citizen president.

Obama is a US citizen through and through.

Dont expect him to behave otherwise than a US citizen.

Nothing new.

US of A, temple of US citizenism kicking the same since 1776.

Actually, Barry belongs to a new political party called the Golfocrats.  He takes short breaks from his pressing 18 hole schedule to occasionally attend to those pesky presidental commitments.

And: May someone follow his example and send a robot tasked with sticking a missile up his arse to the golf course soon!!
