Avoiding

The Next

Obama

In times like these,

it is tempting to focus

only on the issue at hand.

But if you do,

you do so at

your own peril.

As I watch what is

happening to this

great country,

I find myself just shaking

my head more and more

while thinking,

Mark Twain was

absolutely right:

“history does not

always repeat itself,

but it does often rhyme.”

My Igbo parents came to this

great country from Nigeria.

They arrived a few years after

Nigeria’s independence from

Great Britain.

In Nigeria,

it was a time of unprecedented

cultural and political turmoil,

which allowed politicians very

much like Barack Obama to

continue to seep into Nigeria’s

political system.

These politicians all promised

a change from the past.

And unfortunately,

they ended up

fulfilling their promises.

What these politicians ended

up changing was the very

fabric of the African societies,

which they had been taught

to see as unsophisticated

and inferior.

I call these men,

who appeared all over Africa

in the wake of independence,

African Colonial politicians

(ACP’s).

They were the direct offspring

of the European Imperialists,

imposing radical European

leftist political theory

on tribal cultures.

ACP’s and their unscrupulous

followers were able to almost

completely destroy many

African cultures.

.

.

For the most part,

these ACP’s were

intellectual frauds,

completely unworthy of the

honors bestowed upon them.

But they sounded

and looked good;

so the people listened to them.

With their fancy

Oxbridge degrees,

grandiloquent speeches given

with perfectly accented

“Queen’s English”, finely

tailored European suits,

and fabled family histories,

ACP’s took the masses by storm.

ACP’s convinced their

constituents that they were

as dumb as baboons and did

not have what it took to make

good decisions for themselves

and for the future.

They made Africans feel

embarrassed about their entire

histories and conservative values.

They persuaded Africans to

follow the “European way”

of doing things,

and assured that this blueprint

for progress was one that

could not fail.

The people believed them.

And so, over the course

of many decades,

and by means of the standard

instruments of cultural

indoctrination that included

liberal education,

elite professional career paths,

and new religious and

political paradigms,

Africans began to consume

ideas and theories that

implicitly alienated them

from their own roots.

Today,

many of those Africans and

their respective cultures are

well on their way to being

nothing more than topics for

discussion at some freshman

anthropology seminar at

some elite university.

.

.

Colonialism in Africa ended

but the ACP remained.

He is now a touchstone in

African political culture —

and so are his imperialist policies.

The ACP will never go away.

He dominates all politics,

all of the time.

His presence is ubiquitous.

He is being cloned by the

thousands everyday at

universities in Africa and in

other parts of the world.

Marxist mentors rear him in

his professional and private life.

Thus,

he has been taught to see

himself as a benevolent

Pan-Africanist.

Instead,

he is an uncontrollable cancer,

steadily pushing African cultures

to the point of extinction.

This all happened because

African conservatives lost

their way,

took their cultures for granted,

and underestimated the cupidity

of their wanton politicians.

They failed to make adjustments

that would have helped to

preserve their necessary values.

The challenge for any culture

is knowing when and how to

make these adjustments,

because if you do not,

you die.

.

.

Africans allowed

themselves to be hoodwinked

by smooth-talking elitist

charlatans;

they are now paying a

very dear price for this.

Politically speaking,

most of Africa is now the

laughingstock of the world

with little to show for all of

the progress that was once

so intensely promised.

In his 1947 essay,

Path to Nigerian Freedom,

Chief Obafemi Awolowo

declared that,

“… the educated elite

in Nigeria were qualified

by natural rights to lead

their fellow nationals

into higher political development.”

Chief Awolowo,

where is that

development now?

It is a very painful thing to

know that something that

you hold dear will soon

cease to exist.

It is even more painful to

know that you are only one

of a small few who can actually

see that it is happening.

This is what I am faced with.

.

.

.

My Igbo heritage,

passed down especially

by my mother,

has become a very

precious thing to me,

particularly because it is

something that will soon

cease to exist.

I am sure that my

great-grandchildren’s

children will have to go to

some Museum of Natural

History to know who I was,

and so I continue to fight

to make sure that they

have something to see.

All of this is because my

ancestors did not make the

necessary adjustments.

And most importantly,

they never saw that there

was always a large troupe

of African colonial politicians,

each impatiently waiting in

the wings for the chance to

audition for the role

of a lifetime.

(Obama’s 2004 DNC

speech was an audition.)

.

.

The Barack Obamas

of the world helped to kill off

so many cultures throughout

the African continent.

He is now here,

with his Bacchic attendants,

working hard to kill

(conservative)

American culture.

He is killing everything

that this country stands for.

He is doing it under

the guise of altruism.

However,

there is nothing

altruistic about Obama.

Instead,

what we are witnessing is

the greatest comedy of fateful

errors that the world has seen

in quite some time.

The gods must

be laughing like crazy.

.

.

The move towards the

Euro-style imperialist socialism

that has taken over this country

has been a long time coming.

For decades,

oblivious youth have been

indoctrinated at American

universities to sympathize

with far-left values;

the entertainment industry

is filled with leftist blowhards

who wear the mask of intellect;

liberals of all stripes have

become unselfconscious

in mocking (Christian)

religious customs,

and the juggernaut that is

the left-stream media has been

sealing the deal for years,

helping to make this Republic

increasingly vulnerable to

demagoguery and despotism.

During the campaign,

there was a reason why

Obama’s handlers kept telling

him to say,

“We are the ones we

have been waiting for!”

.

.

.

So many are waiting in the

wings for their chance

to audition.

Obama is now the

playing the lead role.

But new faces will come

and take his place when

he is done.

This is why our nation

is under siege with

“all Obama, all the time”.

They want you to focus on

him so that you do not see

what is coming.

As difficult as it may

be to believe,

Obama is probably not the

worst that this far-left faction

will use to win future elections.

.

.

There will be others who

will be more “eloquent”,

more charismatic,

more racially mixed,

more (once) oppressed by

“the man”…

.

.

In closing,

I offer a wish list.

If I could go back in time

and meet some of my ancestors,

here are a few things that I

would tell them to watch out

for and consider.

And to my fellow

American Conservatives,

here are a few things to

help us avoid the next Obama:

Brand name

market academics:

the killers of common sense

I cannot emphasize enough

how these types of people

continue to destroy cultures

throughout the world.

I have seen it happen;

I am seeing it happen.

Most of their ideas are based

on book theories and not reality.

They cannot relate

to everyday people.

Bottom line:

if someone needs to tell you

where they went to school

in order to explain why they

voted a certain way,

change the subject,

or better yet,

if you can,

just walk away.

Spread your message,

especially to the young.

.

.

One of the biggest mistakes

that many Igbos continue to

make is not teaching their kids

about their ancestry and culture.

In the West especially,

some of those kids do not

speak the language,

understand any of the traditions,

nor do they have the desire to

visit the land of their forefathers.

By default,

these children have

become Igbos in name only.

A person without knowledge

of their history and culture is

like a tree without roots-

a shell of a thing that can

be easily blown away.

Ironically,

irreverence towards one’s

culture and history is always

part of a tradition that is

passed down from one

generation to the next.

Be the one to put an

end to this tradition.

.

.

In praise of patriarchs

The whole truth,

not half of it.

The Igbos are a

patriarchal people,

and I grew up listening to

fantastic tales of how my

great forefathers lived

impeccable lives.

I understand why this was

necessary but some of those

tales just bordered

on the absurd.

I might as well have been

reading the Aeneid.

Patriarchs are people,

and it is equally important

that we learn from their

successes AND their failures.

Avoiding talk of their failures

leads to a loss of trust from

those who really want to learn.

The reality is that many Igbo

patriarchs made crucial mistakes,

which allowed the Imperialists

to gain access and power;

this must be acknowledged.

The American Founders

achieved tremendous goals.

The United States Constitution

is the Crown Jewel

of Western civilization.

The Founders paved the way

for liberty and justice for all;

this was no small feat.

But mistakes were still made,

and the legacy of some of those

mistakes still haunt us today.

Telling the whole truth is

what sets people free.

.

.

Intellectual integrity

The Imperialists

let the genie out.

It is now up to you to put

it back in the bottle.

The Igbos allowed many things

to be redefined for them by

Imperialists who then took

these new definitions and

ran with them in order to

make the Africans feel inferior.

One of my favorites is how

the Imperialists began calling

African medicinal herbalists, “witchdoctors”.

(I always crack up

when I hear this word!)

.

.

Something similar is starting

to happen with the word racism.

The far-lefties are now using

this word willy-nilly to defame

innocent people.

Racism,

in my opinion,

is something very specific:

an assault — of any kind —

that attacks the humanity

of a specific ethnic group.

A racist is someone who

believes in and sees the good

in these attacks.

.

.

And then there is bigotry;

and there are bigots.

By thoughtlessly throwing

around the word racism we

truly dishonor the memory

of those who,

throughout human history,

actually went through

the real thing.

Imperialists and

their liberal offspring,

have no real intellectual integrity.

They will stoop to any low

to get their message across.

Do not let these fools tell

you what is and what isn’t.

.

.

African Colonial Politicians

and Black Liberationist

Preachers:

Best Friends Forever

This point is more for

future African and

American generations.

ACP’s and BLP’s go together

like peanut butter & jelly.

Black Liberation Theology

(and all of its strange offshoots)

is wreaking havoc in Africa and

it will soon do the same here.

.

.

The pastor and politician

work like a tag-team to rob

people of their dignity,

culture, and political capital.

Both teach their congregants/

constituents to wear their

(imagined) victim status like

a badge of honor.

By using all sorts of hocus-pocus

and mumbo-jumbo techniques,

they exact votes, cash,

and “AMENS!” from lost and

impressionable people.

The less of a real history

that people have to “cling to”

the more they will seek these soothsayer/snake oil sales

people out.

Countries like Nigeria most

definitely have what I call a

“pastor problem”,

and it looks like America is

starting to have one too.

As many have already figured out,

the Obama-Wright relationship

was no chance coincidence.

Despite the Showtime at the

Apollo theatrics in which they

engaged the nation during

the election,

right now,

both are laughing all

the way to the bank.

Chukwu duwe anyi

(May God be with us).
