Turning back to our our inaugural day and Martin Luther King Day.
My next guest says the president laid out his true agenda.
Destroying the founding principles of this nation of limited government.
To meet what he calls his leftist needs joining us now has -- -- -- -- on -- barred news author of the book.
Bullish how collapse culture of fear and intimidation.
Silences.
America.
-- good to have you with us now I understand professor pro -- is watching carefully to see what you could learn a about.
Well you're conservative perspective for -- on use welcome.
Now we're just think that ten -- -- and I was spending in what what an orwellian speech -- talk about a reversal of every term that Americans hold -- liberty becomes collective action.
Absolutism.
Is is opposed to principal.
-- everything that he says was was basically turning American history on its head is -- I also learned things about myself during that speech that attend educational.
Turns out if I oppose Obama I hate women I hate gays I hate old people I hate the disabled.
And I'm also -- -- of science so I found out all those things today and yet President Obama said that we are united country so in that way it was unique speech.
He also said.
Quote we understand that -- work.
Out warned programs are in adequate if we put this up for the audience and actors and true to -- -- -- out here.
We understand that -- out warned programs are -- adequate to the needs of our time.
We must harness new ideas and technology.
To remake our government.
That is well we'll give real meaning -- our -- is so in other words the founding principles and values in the nation have no reality unless we remake our government.
And apparently support some idea is and technology that is unmentioned.
Or perhaps not even available right now.
He hates the constitution and and that's what it comes down to what his speech -- -- -- he said you know we have to adapt founding principles to our changing times are changing needs.
We must change -- you know -- the constitution was written.
With an unchanging view of human nature in mind and the left believes that the only thing they can change human nature -- -- fundamental level.
Is collective action I even governments of the constitution stands in the way of their grand plan.
To change human nature as it is currently constituted.
And that's why everything that you hear coming out of Obama is now changing who we are as people and and it what that involves a tremendous reversal of of all basic common sense it turns out that if you want to keep your own money.
You're now -- -- whereas if you are recipients of Social Security Medicare or Medicaid you're contributing to the collective well.
Ended that this is completely turned language upside down I thought the key line of the entire speech president Obama's at a near the end.
He -- our founding creed doesn't dictate that we agree on what liberty constitutes.
Actually Mr.
President it does that maybe -- only thing.
-- our founding -- dictates because if we were fighting for liberty against tyranny.
What is the declaration of independence about he's just rendered all of our founding documents meaningless in the name of big government progressive as a.
You know that I've got to believe that -- -- going to see fallout from this speech because precisely the rhetoric that he employed.
Which is first of all hollow and much of it meaningless.
As signifying nothing to leave the expressions including the one that you're just referenced on liberty.
That I believe is going to be contested sharply in the if you will in the -- commentary it probably ignored in its entirety by the national life.
We immediate.
I wanna ask you about one question here that CBS news political director John Dickerson.
Writing honestly said the president who came into office speaking -- lofty terms about bipartisanship.
And cooperation can only cement his legacy if he destroys the GOP.
That's the CBS and -- -- political director.
They just hired Condoleezza Rice -- a contributor.
You know one of the emblems if you will of the Republican Party.
Square square Alabama -- would you.
Well I -- what they're doing is they're hiring Republicans who have a history of attacking other Republicans and that's why you see Colin Powell on TV talking about the dark vein of intolerance.
That runs within the Republican Party that's what Michael Steele was on TV today talking about just how horrible it was the Republicans didn't show up.
For his grand party feeding President Obama that the news media understands -- the left news media understands this president Obama's -- Is to -- fundamentally remake the nation and what that requires is not bipartisanship -- means completely destroying his opposition to bully tactics by calling us racist pig it's sexist some folks.
That's what that speech was about that's what his agenda is about.
And that's what this news media which is calling daddy if you how could you possibly call that it bipartisan speech you have to be so on the cool I think they're running out of -- supply all over the country to buy and I.
Agree with professor approach for it seemed rather conservative -- -- at -- aunt Bridget -- there -- good to have -- with us.
That I cut.
