Is Obama Stupid or Is it something else?

Obama doesn't appear to be a stupid man. You don't get 1/2 the country to vote for you, shut down the Clinton political machine, and make it to President of the USA being stupid. All without releasing any school records, papers you've written for your degrees, or printed for the Law Review you edited at Harvard, or even your birth certificate. So he's obviously a smart and politically savvy man. Knowing this, for the past week I've been trying to figure out why he would not only call white police stupid, but admit he didn't have all the information, when he said it. This is probably one of his biggest "foot in mouth" moments since elected. No matter how you look at it his excuses are lame and pandering.

Granted we have a problem with police overreaching their authority in this country. Rregular people can be and often are, arrested for simply asking why and under what authority an officer is; asking for ID, searching you, asking you roll a window down, etc. They feel that if you don't immediately comply with whatever they ask, no questions asked, that they have the authority to arrest you. The can and most often do arrest people just for being rude or disrespecting them. Most Cops think and act like it is them vs. the people. The sheer volume of YouTube videos of cops violating the 4th and 14th amendmenta, clearly demonstrate that we have a problem with police disrespecting regular people and abusing their authority.

Even at that Obama is the POTUS, not a regular citizen. We should expect our president to think before he speaks, but all accounts are that he and his staff did think about this before he spoke and he said it any way. So why would Obama say such things about a man (who happens to be white) without all the evidence? The only conclusion I can come up with is Obama is a anglophobic racist. I believe he has a fear of white people, specifically white people in authority. Considering where he went to church the last 20 years, and the people he surrounded himself around in college, etc. it is understandable. I believe since it is obviously a mental disorder (anglophobia), we should cut him some slack and forgive him and not worry about it. Clearly his racist anglophobia won’t have an effect on how he acts. It’s not like he’s running the government and can exercise authority over a vast number of people and can sign into law some new law that would punish people for how they think if they are anglo, but allow similar thought by non anglos to be excused.

For those of you who might be literal thinkers, educated in the public school system; the above comments are heavily laced with sarcasm.

Thought Crime legislation scheduled to be voted in the US House.

H.R. 1913 - Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009

This is a sick piece of legislation, and more evidence that Obama and the Democratic party are pushing the USA to a fascist state. It is illegal to mug, rape, murder, assault, and liable people. This law clearly violates the Fourteenth Ammendment to the US Constitution which guarantees equal protection under the law. Based on how the victim perceives the thoughts and motivation of the perpetrator, the punishment for the crime will be enhanced.

If somebody mugs you, they should be punished for the act of mugging you. It shouldn't matter their motivation for mugging you, it is a violation of your rights, and their actions that are punished. What's worse is if your words can be conscrued to encourage others to commit crimes then you can be prosicuted for a "Hate Crime" under HR1913.

Translation, if you quote certain verses of the bible which condem homosexuality, and somebody who heard you assaults a GLBTG person then you can be convicted of a hate crime. This will shut down religous discussion and discourse and silence anybody who doesn't agree with the radical homosexual agenda. This law clearly violates not only the Fourteenth, but also the First Ammendment to the US Constitution.

How adults stimulate and pleasure one another is strictly their business, and there obviously should be no laws restricting what consensual adults do to each other. That’s part of individual liberty and regardless of the lifestyle a person chooses to live, so long as they don’t force it upon others they should be frees to live it. But just as homosexuals or any other group of people should be free to promote their lifestyle and ideas there should be NO LAW silencing viewpoints that they don't agree with. This law would make it illegal to disagree with virtually anybody. If you believe in liberty you have to not only put up with the KKK’s racist crap, but defend their right to say it, regardless of how distasteful their opinions and words are.

HR1913 as written could allow federal prosecutors to target Christians who teach that homosexual behavior is sinful and that Islam is a false religion. It is a backdoor tool from the far left and radical homosexuals to shut down legitimate free speech from people who oppose their lifestyle. This law criminalizes thought because they demand enhanced penalties due to the "perception" of the victim by the perpetrator. It appears to be on group of people forcing others to accept their beliefs. It is no different than if they passed a law making it illegal to speak out against gun ownership, or criticizing the Federal Government.

Wait a minute didn’t the Dept. of Homeland Security just put out a document claiming that people who: oppose illegal immigration, support the literal meaning of the Second Amendment, believe in constitutionally limited government, oppose the killing of unborn babies, support U.S. sovereignty and independence, to be “dangerous” and send out a memo to local and state law enforcement to be on watch for “right-wing extremism”.

Rightwing extremism in the United States can be broadly divided into those groups, movements, and adherents that are primarily hate-oriented (based on hatred of particular religious, racial or ethnic groups), and those that are mainly antigovernment, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority, or rejecting government authority entirely. It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single issue, such as opposition to abortion or immigration.

If HR1913 passes, if you speak, or worse yet, think in a manor not approved by the government, you can be charged with a crime. 1984 is here, just a couple decades later than Orwell predicted. With this law people can be jailed for what they say.
Congress, Obama and the people he has put into power are bringing us closer and closer to a fascist state.
