I have a friend who manages a pizza shop. On his forearm, he sports a tattoo with the letters FTWO spelled out in fancy calligraphy. So, apart from my love for pizza, I also sport a curiosity. I asked him what it meant. He then said, "free the world Obama." He must of noticed that my head was beginning to resemble the soon to be victims in the movie, "Scanners." Before my head literally exploded, he told me the truth. He told me, "I got the tattoo while in high school, and I'm just embarrassed to say that it really meant f%$k the world over." I was quick to point out that the two statements actually amounted to the same thing, and if it were my arm, I would definitely go with meaning number two in order to avoid embarrassment.

The above photograph is proof that my sentiment rings true. Our inalienable rights, that we were all born with, have been suspended by the Obama Regime. What's even worse, the Earth did not stop spinning with this terribly momentous occasion, such as many of us would have expected. In the time since this photograph of an American citizen being arrested by a team of law enforcement officers for exercising his Constitutionally protected right to free speech, life went on in America mostly the same as it had before. My alarm sounded this morning. My phone rings today, the same as it did yesterday. The lights turned red at several intersections on my travels while working this morning. Tonight's line up on the television will still include my favorite shows. The Steelers will still be playing on Sunday. To tell you quite honestly, I am not quite sure which is worse, the fact that politically incorrect speech is now illegal, or the fact that Americans are so willing to accept it. For those of you who might posit the belief that this man is being moved solely for his protection, notice that the photograph shows him with his hands cuffed behind his back, and that he is being perp walked into the back of that police car.

There is a lot not to like about this President. His domestic policy is a disaster of epic proportion. It will take us decades potentially to clean up the mess he's made of our economic health. His foreign policy has seen fire set to literally 25% of the globe and has our Middle Eastern diplomats fleeing their host countries for fear of their very lives. allies abroad are questioning our relationship, since President Obama has made it painfully clear that at the first opportunity of convenience, any who have helped us in the past will be thrown under the Zero's bus. Our national space program has been turned into the largest social work organization who's sole purpose is Muslim Outreach. Our debt has grown beyond our annual GDP, and to add injury to insult, he travels the globe apologizing to the very enemies who have demonstrated time and again over the past 239 years that their ultimate goal is to destroy us, our culture, and to eventually rule us as a part of their world wide Islamic Caliphate. He has told them repeatedly that we are the people guilty of arrogance.

All of that however pales in comparison to what we see in the above photo. The above photo represents the end of our nation as we knew it previously. The above photo represents a people who have not only lost American Exceptionalism, but have accepted in its place an aristocratic rule by a self anointed elite class who view mere citizens as an annoyance, to rule over as they see fit. The above photo represents those principles of governance that caused Americans to revolt against the British in 1776. The above photograph represents Obama's America.

One of my facebook friends, and indeed a member of my college fraternity suggested in a serious manner that we repeal the 22nd Amendment. Apparently, he not only lost his mind completely since graduating some 25 odd years ago, but he feels as though Barack Obama deserves not only a second term, but several more beyond that. We'll call that, "Uber Crazy." The above photograph should be displayed prominently in every Republican advertisement for decades to come. This is what happens when you make the mistake of believing that there really is no difference between the two parties, and that there is no harm in allowing the Democrats to hold any office of any responsibility.

Imagine a world where not only you could be arrested for speaking out against Barack Obama, but that there would be no legal limitation placed upon how long he could remain in power. Before anyone tells me that it would be crazy to imagine an America where that would be possible, just imagine what you would have said if you were shown the above photograph in say 1980, complete with the context of what it shows.
