Obama: A Rigid Ideologue Out of Step with America

After listening to Hannity on Friday, I rekindled a tidbit of warmth for a man who I had essentially written off as a GOP presidential nominee, New Gingrich. I suppose some would ask why?
Gingrich’s insight about Obama being a rigid Ideologue and how this fact stymies the president’s ability to learn, listen or change hit the mark for me. Newt gets it. Obama has tried so hard to label himself a pragmatist, but only to disguise a deep and disturbing ideology he knows a majority of Americans could never digest.

As it turns out, and a shame for those who hung their hats on the idea Obama was going to be the “hope and change” savior, the 44th president is not only completely out of synch with what Americans desire for this great county (as a majority of mainstream polls are showing) but continues to remain in a denial bubble lashing out and using his liberal progressive allies, union thugs and mainstream media army to deflect factual criticism.

Needing more source information to satisfactorily connect the dots in comparing ideology versus pragmatism, I stumbled upon an interesting story by Jonah Goldberg as I poured over Real Clear Politics.com. In “Obama Appears Blinded by His Own Ideological Biases,” Goldberg dissects the idea of pragmatism and the ideologue. In step with philosopher Bertrand Russell, Goldberg concludes there's nothing within pragmatism to delineate the proper and just limits of pragmatism. Therefore, we must look outside pragmatism for those limits: we must ultimately call on ideology — values, customs, traditions and principles.

But here’s the sticky part. Obama’s values, customs, traditions and principles are so blatantly anti-American, he has no choice but to lean on pragmatism. Obama doesn’t believe in American Exceptionalism. If he did, he would stop the global apology tour. Obama doesn’t appear to believe free-market Capitalism fosters economic prosperity and freedom. If he did, Soylndra management wouldn’t today be taking the fifth. And it’s not that he doesn’t get it, it’s that he refuses to learn.

Obama’s rejection of the U.S. Constitution and belief in Americans has culminated in his decline, further supporting the theory that Obama is an out of touch ideologue.

For political pundits like Rick Perry who went “deer in the headlight” during the recent Fox / Google debate exclaiming to viewers that “Obama must just not get it” and act like the president is somehow naive, shame on you! Of course Obama gets it. While he is an incredibly misguided ideologue, he is also a smart man who has spent years influenced by radical socialists.

The sooner Americans wake up and smell the coffee, the sooner an 2012 opponent will materialize who can rally the hearts and souls of this country. Only then can we defeat Obama's anti-American agenda and resuscitate this country.
