Obama Supporters

Last week I heard a term that helped me sort out in my mind the kinds of people who support President Obama. There are 2 kinds of people who support President Obama's policies.

The Far Left Looneys - These people actually understand what Obama is doing and support it. They know he is introducing a new socialism, and they want it to succeed. These people have always been around. It wasn't that long ago they were referred to as communists. They are attracted to the ACLU and see it as a way to tear down standards and principals that people live by on behalf of an "oppressed" minority. They also form the leadership of the Mainstream Media. Since they agree with Obama's philosophy, the are willing to provide him protection and support by the way the news is reported, or not reported. Overall, they are nothing new to the United States. They have been around for many years, and cannot win over the hearts and minds of common citizens, so will never win long term power. Occasionally they win an important election and we are forced to endure their representation for a few years, but they always pass. The second type of Obama supporters are far more dangerous.

The Useful Idiots - This is the new term I heard. The quote is attributed to Lenin, however there is question on his exact words that were interpreted to mean useful idiots. Lenin is believed to have said that useful idiots were the capitalist dupes "that will sell us the rope with which to hang them."

Today's Obama supporting Useful Idiots could be described as people who do not pay attention to what Obama says or does, but apologize for him because he is a good guy trying to do the right thing. And he is such a great speaker. And he is better than George Bush. Hatred of Bush has produced enough Useful Idiots to elect the least qualified man ever to run for President. There are still enough Useful Idiots to maintain his approval rate around 50%. Useful Idiots are typically good people with good intentions. They just are not paying attention. For that reason, they are far more dangerous than the Far Left Looneys.

Interestingly enough, Useful Idiots are created by the Far Left Looneys. They use selective reporting, sound bites, and develop intense hatred of opponents. This produces mind-numbed idiots that never question their own belief. Instead, thy believe what they hear from the M&M's without question. If you have any doubt, 10 minutes watching How Obama Got Elected should convince you. These Useful Idiots should not be allowed to vote.
