The Cynical Optimist

By Joseph DeNello

Waiting for that Howard Beal moment...

Howard Beal was a fictional character in the movie “Network”  (1976 staring Peter Finch)    Beal, a news anchor,  became fed up with the social and political madness of his day and while experiencing a meltdown,  angrily opened a window  and yelled  “I am Mad as Hell and I am not going to take this anymore!”

Folks,  if this situation unfolding on our southern border does not make every American open a window and loudly echo Mr. Beal’s statement then I doubt anything short of throwing out the Second Amendment is going too.

I am  a Cynical Optimist,  The Cynic in me does not believe most of the spin coming from Washington and the propaganda machine of the MSM;  so I will do my own research and form my own opinions.

The Optimist wants to see things in a positive light, wants to believe that we will prevail and be able to salvage what is left of our society, our nation and our freedoms..  

 I have to tell you.. at the moment the Optimist is losing ground fast and the Cynic is asking several questions in a effort to better understand  what is actually happening.

To list just a few:

What motivations would cause the leader of a nation to create and allow the humanitarian, social and political crises we are hearing about every day?

 Who amongst us can watch our president virtually ignore the situation his policies (or lack of) have created and not demand that he be held accountable?

How many of you can remain complacent after 6 years of his destructive, seditious and treasonous leadership without asking;

 Is he really that stupid or is this all part of his promised “Fundamental Transformation”?

I, for one, do not believe that he is stupid or naive,  his actions and policies (regardless of how they are promoted or perceived) have led the nation to today’s crossroads;  the man is achieving his goals  and unfortunately  those goals do not have the nations health or the peoples peace of mind as a part of the agenda.

Any man that will knowingly manipulate woman and children from poverty stricken countries by promising free food, shelter and health care, all for the sake of gaining yet more power by overwhelming local infrastructures,..  is not a good person !

A man who’s first big lie was told when he took the oath of office of the president, and has continued to lie, slander and intentionally divide our nation, cannot and should not be trusted or believed.         We are the fools that allow him to continue!

If someone wanted to create civil unrest and bring angry people into the streets

If someone wanted a reason to use the brute force they had available from creating Department and Agency swat teams…

   

Well,  I can hear it now ..   “You have left me no other option, it is for the sake of the babies, I cannot allow those that may disagree to interfere with this humanitarian effort….

 I am forced to and will do so by executive action, starting today, and until further notice, Declare Martial Law in certain cities and towns across the nation, 

 Oh, by the way,  did I mention that you need to turn in your guns, just until this crises is over….   I promise you can have them back…  remember its for the babies and the Republicans made me do it.”

Tell me that you believe this scenario is over the top and is impossible..

I will give you, not plausible , not very likely… but impossible ?   

Barack Obama is, without doubt, an *Agenda Obsessed individual, he is also a proven **Zealot in the literal sense of the word.

It is the job of America's Patriot's to become active, it is our duty and legal god given right to organize and form a peaceful resistance.  It is absolutely necessary that we lead the way by soothing the anger, and overcoming the frustrations that we all feel, our duty to help others to do the same.    We can not allow the extreme elements on our side to provoke armed confrontations with government sanctioned forces.

It is time to open the window and proclaim "I am mad as hell and I will not take this anymore."
Then before you close that window, add this line with the  same loud volume and enthusiasm.

"I am a Proud American Patriot,  come join with me and together we shall save our nation and in so doing help to save the world !"      Use it or lose it!

What is the difference between a dead skunk, flattened on the highway, and Barack Obama?

Very little, they both still stink but you no longer need to worry about what the dead one is doing.
