PREFACE
This post, as with any proper essay, states its primary assertion upfront, normally within the first paragraph. The following paragraph or two then serve to flesh out or expand upon those primary statements, and the balance of the work is the proof evidence that supports the theme and convinces the reader to believe you.
My primary assertion is contained in the title. The opening paragraphs below are meant to convince you that I am convinced of the validity of my claims. Any conservative reader will, however, before finished reading those opening sentences, begin to doubt my core values as a conservative. I, therefore, beg patience and will hint at the possibility that, even though I am perfect in the title, you may have been baited by that title into reading this post, which is, afterall, the sole purpose of a title.
DEDICATION
Obama is, first of all, dedicated to his pursuit of his goals. He will go to any lengths to insure the highest and most enduring level of success. He has a tenacity envied by pit bulls (no lipstick), makes no apologies, negotiates no compromises, and suffers no incapacities from minor setbacks. He is a consistant achiever and has become comfortably familiar with accolades and praise being his reward for a devotion to principal.
DEPENDABILITY
Obama learned early in his life that dedication is dependant on and, in fact, semi-synonomous with the idea of dependability. If dedication is total and sincere, dependability will become a self imposed, defining character trait. Devotion and dedication demand a dependable approach. That is not to say the approach is set in stone or written in law, but it does define a policy of, once defined, being effectively predictable of future decisions and procedures. Dedication is the result of setting a goal that is inspired and chosen due to an inherent desire and self confident attitude. Dependability is a tactic chosen due to dedication to the goal and the realization that any sacrifice is worth the result.
We conservatives will do ourselves a big service to believe my claims regarding Obama’s character. To do so enables a truer, more easily accepted knowledge of everything we know and will ever learn about him. In fact, this insight into his motivational resources enables his critics with an almost supernatural ability to predict, with near perfection, his future choices and decisions, and his public speaking topics.
You might say, "Glenn, you still sound like an Obama convert". And I would say that I would choose first to die. You might be confused because we have all come to know Obama as a talented liar, a consistant policy jumper, and being undeserving, if not incapable, of being credited with traits of dependability or dedication, these usually being thought of as signs of an ethical and selfless character.
But, consider the possibility that his goals and motivations to those ends are not what he professes. Let’s assume, for the purpose of this essay, that his goal is not the office of president, but rather the attainment of worldwide authority and power, if not supreme emperor of the universe (not at all silly when you consider his ego). The motivations for that goal self evident. When we rethink our vision of Obama in that vein, we are able to perceive the dedication he has to that goal. And if we are able to convince ourselves that he is dedicated to an unspoken agenda of influnce on a global scale via a socialist system, we can then have faith and be confident in his dependability to act in the ways that have been successful and to persist in his methods and practices.
Obama has, from the beginning of his career in politics, adopted a very well defined, deeply engrained system and set of rules that he has dutifully studied and faithfully set to memory to the point of becoming second nature. He has chosen the radical road to socialism as created and taught by Saul Alinsky, the father of community organization as a profession. He has followed, with a religious devotion, the insistance by Alinsky that success is no less than the power over all who will believe your lies, and that that power is the only worthwhile pursuit for the elitist who believes himself to be a messiah.
Obama is dedicated and dependable, and now that we know that, he is also more vulnerable. Let’s decide to exploit, in every possible way, that chink in his majesty’s armor. After all, we are conservatives and are, therefore, always right. Well, almost always.
