Professor Obama is Not Happy with Our Progress

On November 2, 2010 we conservatives proved once and for all that we're simply not picking up what President Obama is putting down.

You see, Mr. Obama isn't of the opinion big government, massive entitlements and universal healthcare are right for America, rather it's an undeniable fact that all three are supremely moral, while every single conservative idea originated in the loins of Satan.

One day all of us will have that, "I get it!" moment, but, until then, we remain in the back of the class, desperately trying to catch up with the progressives seated in front.

President Obama is trying to convince conservatives that only his policies are worthy, just as we would attempt to convince a communist that only democracy leads to prosperity. In such a situation, we wouldn't assert we have a simple difference of opinion; we'd insist a communist government would cause the topic of conversation in America to turn from professional sporting results to length of bread line.

The difference, of course, is that conservatives have the history of the world on our side and can say with certainly that communism has led to scores of brutal deaths while Obama and his ilk can't point to one prosperous civilization and scream with joy, "Massive entitlements are the reason those people dance in the streets!"

History professors aren't hired to teach a class in hopes they can convince their pupils that the Allies were victorious in World War II, but will happily acquiesce if the majority of students are adamant the Axis powers now rule the world, just as Mr. Obama wasn't elected in hopes he could convince the American people that his progressive policies are both moral and sound, but will happily acquiesce if his fellow citizens believe they reduce freedom and lead to chaos.

The history professor has done his or her job only if students walk out of that classroom at the conclusion of the school year with knowledge that the Allies possess the trophy.

Mr. Obama has done his job only if the American people eventually believe progressive policies alone are acceptable for a civilized nation.

To Mr. Obama, universal healthcare is undeniably right for the United States and he must convince us of this fact just as a history professor must convince his pupils that the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred on the morning of December 7, 1941.

So don't act surprised to see Mr. Obama on television insisting he's going to press forward with his radical agenda because you wouldn't think twice about a history professor saying he'd never stop trying to change the mind of a student who claimed with certainty that breaking news coverage of the attack on Pearl Harbor preempted an episode of Two and a Half Men.
