‘Fundamental Transformation’ of America ? Not Today Barry….

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

During his 2008 campaign for President, Barack Hussein Obama promised us all that he was going to “fundamentally transform the United States of America”. While he was pretty vague about what he intended to transform our country into, those of us who looked carefully at who he really was were not at all interested in what he was peddling.

We saw through the fluff and the news media and Hollywood adoration, and recognized Obama for what he truly is. A closet Marxist who was concealing his true ideology in order to get elected. We recognized that nothing Obama offered could be good for America.

Obama knew way back in 2008 that a communist stood little chance of getting elected to the presidency in America (the chances might be better nowadays). So Obama and his allies in the traditional news media did everything they could to cover up Obama’s checkered past.

Raised in the home of communist sympathizers and influenced during his youth and formative years by avowed communist Frank Marshal Davis, among others, Barack Obama also received the leftist indoctrination that our colleges and universities have specialized in for decades now.

Later as an adult he and his wife also maintained membership in a church whose pastor preached hatred towards America and towards white people. All of this was either ignored or outright concealed by the news media who had hitched their political wagon to the junior senator from Illinois.  So whether his name is Barack Obama or Barry Sotero (as it once was), his past and Marxist leanings were hidden from voters back then, and are barely concealed now.

Obama also benefited from having some weak-minded white voters who subconsciously believed that they could assuage their guilt over slavery and racial discrimination by voting for Obama. Sort of cleansing their guilty consciences for living in the mostly white suburbs, and secretly practicing the ‘NIMBY’ (Not in My Back Yard) philosophy when it came to black people. Many believed that as long as they watched Oprah on TV and voted for Obama they’d be forgiven for any racist things they’d done in the past, or any deep-seated racist feelings they still held, and hid.

Unfortunately for America it was a perfect storm for Obama. The Republicans offered up two of the weakest candidates to run for president against him, first in 2008 with John McCain, and again in 2012 with Mitt Romney. Obama cruised to victory in both elections, and with the help of his most trusted aide Valerie Jarrett commenced to weaken America internationally, start a war on the police in America which is still being fought, and to dismantle American exceptionalism every way they could (which Obama didn’t believe in anyway).

After his two terms were finished Barack Obama was counting on Hillary Clinton to continue his efforts to change America into the Marxist hell-hole he envisioned. A somewhat misguided proposition since Hillary really didn’t like the Obamas. She has never forgiven Barack for stealing the nomination from her back in 2008.

Even though she held many of the leftist beliefs Obama did, she fully intended to make her own way, not just be Obama 2.0 and carry on his efforts. Unfortunately for both Hillary and Obama, she lost in 2016 to Donald Trump who quickly began to undo the “fundamental transformation” that Obama had intended.

To his credit President Trump went to work right away to “make America great again” after the disastrous Obama years, but it was an uphill fight against nothing less than a vast conspiracy involving Obama, the Clintons, the Democrat Party, big tech, and the news media, to commit a coup d’etat against America’s duly elected president. Culminating in the 2020 election which certainly included a number of questionable activities. Whether enough to actually change the results of the election is an academic question now and up for debate, but it surely has provided fodder to this day for former President Trump’s claims of a stolen election.

But after all of that there is one thing that is for certain. The continuing efforts of Barack Obama and his ‘Obamunist’ minions behind the scenes to “fundamentally transform” America has been fully exposed. And the message in response from American Patriots is loud and clear. Not today Barry. Not on my watch.
