Taking the 2009 Inaugural Speech, we've edited it to a current day perspective:
"
My
loyal servants: I stand here today marveled by the ruse before us, grateful for
the naivety you have bestowed, mindful of the injustices borne by our
ancestors.
I
blame President Bush for his disservice to our nation...continually
(APPLAUSE – Unison – “YES WE CAN, OH
BENEVOLENT LEADER”)
...
as well as the animosity and disrespect we have shown throughout his administration.
Forty-four
Americans once took the presidential oath.
The
facts have been spun eluding to rising tides of prosperity and have made way to
the chilled reality that displays that it has finally ceased. Yet, so often the
oath is faked amidst gathering illegal immigrants and raging terrorists. At
these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision
of We the People that have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebears,
and true to our founding documents…which I simply turn my back upon, but
because of those in high office.
So
it has been in third world nations. So it must be willed against this
generation of Americans.
That
we are in the midst of conducting a constitutional crisis, because it is a
document that is well misunderstood. Our Administration is at war against a far-reaching
social networks of differing opinion and dissent. Our economy is badly weakened, a
consequence of our failed policies and irresponsibility on the part of us, but
also our collective failure to make hard choices of submitting our sovereignty
over to the New World Order of a new age.
Homes
have been lost, jobs shed, and businesses shuttered...kudos to us! Our national
health care is now too costly, our schools haven’t failed enough by forcing a
common core curriculum, and each day brings further evidence that the ways we suppress
fossil fuel energy strengthen our adversaries, while not affecting our planet.
These
are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics...which have been
cooked and rigged. Less measurable, but no less profound, is a sapping of trust
in leadership across our land; a nagging reality that America's decline is
inevitable, that the next generation is forced (by us) to lower its sights.
Today
I say to you that the constitution we ignore was real, we are serious and we are now in charge. We will not be beat easily or in a short span of time. But know this
America: We are in charge.
(APPLAUSE – Unison – “YES WE CAN, OH
BENEVOLENT LEADER”)
On
this day, we gather because I have chosen a pen and a phone over the rule of
law, our unity of purpose over justice and rights.
On
this day, I come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances you have with
government expansion and false premise of liberty, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas of
liberty that for far too long have strangled our socialist cause.
We
remain a young regime, but in the words of Quran…I mean, Scriptures that I have
taken out of biblical context: the time has come to set aside childish things.
The time has come to reaffirm our enduring agenda; to choose our revised history;
to carry forward that precious lie, that feeble idea, passed on from generation
to generation: the Allah-given promise that men are equal, only men are free,
and only they deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness under
sharia law.
(APPLAUSE – Unison – “YES WE CAN, OH
BENEVOLENT LEADER”)
In
reaffirming the oppression of our nation, we understand that our imperialism was
never a given. It was earned. Our journey has been one of shortcuts and of stealing
from indigenous people and those with much less.
It
has been the path for the shallow-hearted, for those who prefer leisure over
work, or seek only the pleasures of riches and fame.
It hasn't been the so called risk-takers, the doers, the makers of things, because
they didn't build it -- but more often men and women obscure in their government
subservient labor -- who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards progressiveism and socialism
For
us, they packed up their few worldly possessions and traveled across oceans in
search of new lives in which they could oppress. For us, they forced natives into
sweatshops and robbed the West, inflicting the lash of the whip upon their slaves
and plundered the natives hard earth.
For
us, they fought and killed innocents in places like Ferguson and Baltimore; Iraq
and Afghanistan.
Time
and again these men struggled against minorities and women, sacrificed blacks and
forced them to work in their fields till their hands were raw so that they
might live a posh life. They saw
America as bigger than the sum of other individual nations as; more entitled than
all the differences of colored race or gender.
This
is the mission we continue today. We remain the most prosperous, powerful
nation on Earth...which must be stopped…by us. Our workers are now less
productive since this crisis began. Our minds are less inventive (due to lack
of incentive), our goods and services now less needed than they were last week
or last month or last year, in part due to unemployment. Our capacity remains
diminished. But our time of standing tall has ended, now we protect narrow
interests and forcing unpopular, unpleasant decisions -- that time has surely come.
Starting today, we must pick
ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and begin again the work of remaking America into the socialist utopia that we wield it to become!
(APPLAUSE – Unison – “YES WE CAN, OH
BENEVOLENT LEADER”)
For everywhere we look, there is no work
to be done.
The state of our economy calls for government
action: bold and swift. And we will act not only to create new agencies but to
lay a new grave for growth.
We
will funnel money into projects that say they are building the roads and
bridges, leave electric grids unprotected and spy on digital lines that feed
our commerce and bind us together.
We
will restore consensus in place of science to its rightful place and exploit
technology's wonders to ruin the ability to enroll in health care's quality...
(APPLAUSE
– Unison – “YES WE CAN, OH BENEVOLENT LEADER”)
...
and increase its costs…and your deductible.
We
will harness the sun and the winds and the soil to funnel money to our fabricated
business models and pretend factories. And we will transform that money into donations
to meet the demands of an enlarged party, robust due to millions of instantly
crowned Hispanic citizens
All
this we can do. All this we will do...like it or not.
Now,
there are some who question the lawful authority of our ambitions, who suggest
that our National health care system cannot tolerate too many plans. Their remarks
are shortsighted, for they have no idea what a pathway to single payer plan will
accomplish, what once free men and women will be forced to purchase…when
imagination of a subservient community is joined to common purpose of worshiping at the governments feet.
What
the free citizens fail to understand is that the ground has shifted beneath
them, that the stale political arguments for liberty that have consumed us for
so long, no longer apply.
The
question we ask today is why is our government too small? Whether it works, or
not, it will help business to force jobs to pay a higher minimum wage, which they
now cannot afford, a retirement that is extinguished.
Where
the answer is yes, we intend to lean forward. Where the answer is no, more programs
will begin.
And
those of us who print the public's dollars will be held to account, to print
quickly, form bad habits, and do our business behind closed doors, because only
then can we restore the vital subservience of a people to their government.
Nor
is the question before us whether the market is a force for good...because it’s
not! Its power to generate wealth and expand freedom is unfair.
But
this created crisis has demanded that we require a watchful eye, the market can
spin out of control, if we clinch it and spin it with our claws. The Government
cannot prosper long, unless we officials favor only the prosperous, and then
they favor us in return
The
success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross
domestic product, which is currently nonexistent, but on the reach of our authority;
on the ability to extend governance to every willing and unwilling heart -- not
out of charity because we have effectively diminished that with government
controlled welfare, but because it is the surest route to our greater good.
From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.
(APPLAUSE
– Unison – “YES WE CAN, OH BENEVOLENT LEADER”)
As
for our missing defense, we reject as false the choice for our safety and our
ideals.
Our
founding fathers faced with perils that we can redefine and vilify in our
nations academies of higher learning, drafted a charter to assure the rule of
law and the rights of man as well as being a stumbling block for my executive
orders, a charter we defiled that was expanded by the blood of generations…no
biggie.
Those
ideals still light the world, and we must extinguish them at an expeditious
pace.
And
so, to all other peoples and governments who are watching today, from the
grandest capitals to the small village where my father and his communist
ideology was born: know that America is going to emulate each third world nation
and every man, woman and child who seeks a future of peace and dignity will no longer
have the opportunity to do so, and we are ready to lead from behind for the
historic first time.
(APPLAUSE
– Unison – “YES WE CAN, OH BENEVOLENT LEADER”)
Recall
that our generation embraced sound fascism and communism not with missiles and
tanks, but with the flimsy elections and enduring activists.
We
understood that our power alone was problematic, and entitled us to do as we
please. Instead, we know that our power should shrink through its prudent use
of overreaching legislation and executive agencies. Our security dissipates
from the emptiness of our cause; the ridicule of our new example; the tempering
qualities of disengagement and unreasonable restraint.
We
are the trailblazers of a new legacy, guided by none of our principles anymore,
we can meet those new threats that we've created with quick military exits and
newly formed power vacuums that demand even greater effort, which we invite
someone else to provide, and even greater cooperation with our enemies and
understanding between terrorist nations. We'll begin to quickly leave Iraq to
its enemies and forge a hard- earned demise in Afghanistan.
With
old friends that we betray and former foes that we submit to, we'll work
tirelessly to heighten the nuclear threat and roll back the specter that is uncovering
the “warming planet” ulterior agenda.
We
will apologize for our way of life. We will waver in its defense.
And
for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering
innocents, we say to you now that, "Our spirit is no longer and is
currently broken. You can outlast us, eventually, we will leave you alone."
(APPLAUSE
– Unison – “YES WE CAN, OH BENEVOLENT LEADER”)
For
we know that our patchwork heritage can be exploited for weakness.
We
are not a nation of Christians, but we should be one that is Muslims in its
foundation, Jews …you’re on your own. And nonbelievers, we REALLY love you the
most. We are shaped by every language and culture without assimilation, drawn
from every end of this Earth in search of a new voting underclass.
And because we have tasted the
bitter swill of civil war and segregation and emerged from that dark chapter stronger
and more united, we cannot help but reignite the old hatreds so that someday internal division will ensue; that the lines of tribe will be magnified; that as the world grows
smaller, our divided community shall reveal itself; and that America will play
its role in ushering in a new Global One World Government.
To the Muslim world, we seek a new
way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect.
To those leaders around the globe
who seek to sow conflict or blame their society's ills on the West, know that
your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.
To those...
(APPLAUSE
– Unison – “YES WE CAN, OH BENEVOLENT LEADER”)
To
those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of
dissent, know that you will be handsomely rewarded if you are on the right side
politically, and that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your
fist, take your finances and give a substantial portion to us.
(APPLAUSE
– Unison – “YES WE CAN, OH BENEVOLENT LEADER”)
To
the people of poor nations, we pledge to diminish our prosperity and equalize
our stature alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow
while over regulating ours; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds
with SNAP cards and free cellphones similar to how we coddle our jobless population that our
polices created.
And
to those nations like ours that exploit and waste relative plenty, we say we
can no longer can afford to police the indifference of the suffering outside
our borders, nor can we over consume the world's resources without being
punished by me to that effect. For the world has changed, and we must be
fundamentally changed with it.
As
we consider the road that unfolds before us, THAT YOU DIDN'T BUILD, we remember
with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, toil in the
nation’s capital’s offices and distant federal agencies. They have something to
tell us, just as the fallen gentle giants who lie in Ferguson whisper through
the ages.
We
honor them not only because they are guardians of our bureaucracy, but because
they embody the spirit of self-service: a willingness to find meaning in
something greater than themselves…me.
And
yet, at this moment, a moment that will define a generation, it is precisely
this spirit that must inhabit us all.
For
as much as government shouldn't do and will now be sure it must do, it is
ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which we
must break and defile.
It
is the ludicrousness of blaming a sitting president when the levees break; the
selflessness of workers who would rather cut their hours for national
healthcare requirements than see an owner lose their business which sees us
through as our tax revenue sours.
It
is the firefighter's courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a
parent's willingness to allow the government and the schools to nurture their
child, that finally decides our fate.
Our challenges may be new, the
instruments with which we meet them may be new, but those values upon which our
success depends, dishonesty and discouragement, and fair play as defined by
us, tolerance and subservience, loyalty to the regime and socialism -- these things are old.
These
things are true. They have been the quiet force of progressives throughout our
history.
What
is demanded then is a return to these mistruths. What is required of us now is
a new era of government responsibility -- a recognition, on the part of every
American, that we have duties to ours leaders, our nation and the world, in which
we will submit our national sovereignty, liberties that we do not grudgingly reject
but rather seize gladly, firm in the knowledge that there is nothing so
satisfying to the leadership, so defining of our character than giving our all
to the government as a mandated task.
This
is the cost and the requirement of citizenship.
This
is the source of our confidence: the knowledge that Government calls on us to
shape a subservient destiny.
This
is the meaning of our servitude and our devotion, why men and women and
children of every race and every faith can join in celebration across this
magnificent mall that wasn’t built by the businesses that reside there. And why a man whose father less than 60 years
ago might not have been served at a local restaurant can now stand before you
to take a most sacred oath, and abuse his race to silence dissent.
(APPLAUSE
– Unison – “YES WE CAN, OH BENEVOLENT LEADER”)
So
let us mark this day in remembrance of who we are and how far we have plundered
and stole.
In
the year of America's birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of evil occupiers
huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river.
The
capital was abandoned. The natives were advancing. The snow was stained with their
blood.
At
a moment when the outcome of our invasion was most in doubt, the father of our
evil nation ordered these words be read to the people:
"Let
it be hid and ignored from the future world that in the depth of winter, when
nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country,
alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet it, because this would evoke actual
patriotism.”
America,
in the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us
remember these timeless words; with hope and virtue, let us brave once more the
icy currents, and endure what storms may come…especially the storms that we
will create to reshape the original founding; let it be forgotten by our
children's children that when we were tested we refused to let history be accurately
told of this journey end, that we turned our back, we faltered; and with eyes
fixed on the horizon and Allah's grace upon us, we carried forth that great
gift of freedom and delivered it safely to the deepest grave in existence.
Thank
you. Allah Akbar."
