Exclusive: Obama, It’s Time to Grow Up

Gabriel Garnica, Esq.

We have all seen how guilty children deal with the truth. They either pretend that it does not exist or call the one telling the truth a "liar" and act really angry. We have all seen how those same children deal with those trying to tell on them. They either try to stop them from telling or call them "liars" when they do. Do we see a pattern here? More importantly, do we see a familiar strategy elsewhere?

Frankly, the Obama campaign's familiar pattern of trying to smash or defame anyone trying to tell the truth about their candidate, of calling such people "liars" and of generally playing pretend is getting quite old. A case in point is David Freddoso's The Case Against Barack Obama, which has spent weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. The Obama people have tried to keep Freddoso off a popular Chicago radio show, characterized both the author and his work as spreading "dishonest, extreme hate-mongering."

The candidate himself has set the tone for this kind of juvenile reaction to the truth. Faced with the clear evidence that he has been the champion against "Born Alive" legislation and the worst enemy of infants who survive abortions, Obama has resorted to the infantile reaction of calling people discussing his stance in this area liars as well, despite the fact that there is tons of evidence that, for Barack Obama, an abortion survivor is more a nuisance than anything else.

Any of us who have ever witnessed spoiled children know that behind every spoiled child there is an enabling adult pandering to that child in some way, directly or indirectly, consciously or not.

The spoiled children of the Obama campaign and their equally spoiled leader are no different. Their pandering enablers are the mainstream media, who have done everything in their power to present us with the fairy-tale Obama. This pretend version of the Marxist Messiah is suave, sophisticated, social, spiritual, friendly and might even be able to walk on water if asked enough times.

The truth is, faced with trying to sell someone with enough background issues to re-sink the Titanic; the liberal media has decided that it is not enough to simply favor their candidate over the other. It now blatantly ignores anything about its candidate which might not sit well with the American public, which would be about half of his background. It now blatantly winks at lie after lie about the opponents of its prized politician, as the entire despicable array of lies and myths about Sarah Palin sold as fact proves.

I would laugh if it were not for the fact that crying makes so much more sense. We have reached the point in this country where a blatant liar who cannot even face up to his scheming past and who calls everyone who tries to reveal it dishonest is taken seriously. The problem here is that this country is no cookie jar; it is our home and hopefully that of our children. We have a duty to protect, defend and fight for it. That includes exposing hypocrisy and deception from someone who wants to take the controls of this nation's security and welfare, both internal and external.

Someone please tell me why any candidate for the White House exhibiting a pattern of distorting, hiding from and twisting the truth is not a matter of national security. Better yet, someone please tell me that it is not the height of absurdity that someone who represents the kind of ideology that our brave men and women have fought and died to stop is now on the brink of taking the helm of our government. If we let this man win this election, we will make a mockery of the blood they shed to keep precisely his kind of thinking out of this country.
