His Disturbing Pattern

Senator Obama recently gave us a disturbing foretaste of the contradictory doublespeak we could expect under an Obama presidency.[snip]

Speaking of his determination to do “whatever it takes” to end gun violence, Mr. Obama acknowledged that the Second Amendment secures an citizen’s right to keep and bear arms. [snip]

It’s a disturbing pattern that’s starting to emerge in Mr. Obama when he announces a principle or a goal, but then endorses policies that are the exact opposite. It’s political doublespeak. It’s Orwellian. In fact, it’s Clintonian.

Look for this pattern across the board. This is how he’ll empower private markets, by increasing government control. He’ll preserve our private market health care system, by having government take it over. He’ll lower taxes, by raising them. He’ll cut government, by increasing government spending. He’ll create jobs, by raising taxes and fees on business.

He’ll protect our results in Iraq, by abandoning that country. He’ll defeat the terrorists, by stopping attacks against them and sitting down to negotiate. He’ll support our allies in Pakistan, by invading them with military force. He’ll do whatever it takes to stop threats to our nation, by immediately announcing that he’ll never use our ultimate weapons and by stopping our government from listening in on terrorists’ phone calls.

I hope nine months is enough time for the Americans to catch on to his rhetorical sleight of hand. Mr. Obama has shown what he thinks of your Second Amendment rights by endorsing the D.C. gun ban last week. [snip]

Hmmm, what was that prior post on Fascism?
