"Trust Me"

There was a classic episode of The Twilight Zone called “To Serve Man” in which aliens come to earth, landing in various cities around the world.  A representative of the aliens addresses the United Nations to explain the purpose of their visit, which is basically to fix all our problems…to end hunger, end war, and essentially just save us from ourselves. Upon completing his UN address,  the alien representative leaves a book behind which, presumably, contains all the answers to any questions the earthlings might have. Problem is, the book is written in the aliens’ native language, so the job of translating it is given to our hero, a cryptography expert by the name of Michael Chambers, and his lovely assistant Patty.

Throughout the story, Michael Chambers - who gives every indication from the get-go of willfully putting aside any natural skepticism he may otherwise have had in order to embrace the idea of this alien-provided ‘hope and change’ - and Patty try to decipher the book and eventually crack the title - “To Serve Man”. Michael immediately takes the title at face value and optimistically calls it “a reasonably altruistic phrase”, while Patty says, quite apprehensively “well, I want to believe it….but, I don’t know what to think..”.

Smart girl, that Patty.

In the mean time, the aliens are living up to their word. War, sickness, famine - all things of the past. Barren deserts are now lush, bountiful farmland. Everywhere in the world, people are healthy, well-fed, and life is good.

Regular flights have begun between Earth and the alien’s planet. Michael has long since abandoned the book translation project, as he along with pretty much everybody else is convinced the the aliens are indeed the true saviors of mankind. Patty, however, keeps working on the book.

Towards the end of the story, Michael is standing in line and about to board a flight to the alien planet when Patty comes running up with some pretty bad news. “Mr. Chambers… Mr. Chambers. Don’t get on that ship. The rest of the book, ‘To Serve Man’… It’s a cookbook!” Unfortunately for our hero, he does not escape, but is forced onto the ship and to his final destination as an entree in some distant galaxy. Who knows, maybe he was served up as “wagyu human” at some self-absorbed politicians dinner party…

Like our alien friends, the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, along with his administration, is not what he seems. This isn’t just wild speculation by some over imaginative wingnut. If your eyes are open, the evidence is overwhelming:

• The shameful and obviously orchestrated AIG bonus outrage fraud
  (Update 11:25am - Michelle Malkin’s syndicated column has more on this sham)
• The attempted Hijacking of the Census by the White House
• Obama’s carefuly orchestrated and brilliantly executed promotion of class warfare, utilizing the tactics of one of his heros, Saul Alinsky (Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it). In this case, it’s the evil rich.
• Obama’s and Emmanuel’s  statements on taking advantage of a crisis to get things done, followed up with creating more fear and uncertainty in order to perpetuate the crisis.
• His insistence on pushing health and energy reform in the midst of a devastating economic climate.
• Pushing  a cap-and-trade energy tax that will further decimate the economy and hit poor families the hardest
• The systematic dismantling of post-9/11 anti-terror policies and programs
• His selection of a DHS head who doesn’t want to enforce immigration laws
• His selection of a Labor Secretary who favors open borders
• His failure to make appointments for the 17 still-unfilled positions at the Treasury
• Giving free reign to a House Speaker who thinks enforcing our laws is un-American
• Several major campaign promises broken right out of the gate, ie; those on transparency, lobbyists and earmarks

It goes on and on, and had this been George W Bush, mobs of people would be marching on the White House with torches, pitchforks and strategically knotted lengths of rope. But since it’s Obama, many among us will neither see nor acknowledge the undermining of our country that’s taking place from within the highest reaches of our government, and right in front of us.

Sure, you see it and I see it, but people at large just…I dunno…oblivious, and following along while pooh-pooing those of us who, like Patty, are using our healthy sense of skepticism to cut past the hype and b.s. and get to what’s really happening. And far be it from me to say “I told you so”, particularly considering the seriousness of the subject, but we on the right called this one a year and a half ago.

The liberal left will follow this man right off a cliff to their own demise rather than ever admit that they made a mistake. Well, you know…so be it. However, it’s the rest of those obliviots  - the ones who still have the ability to save themselves - who I fear will end up like poor Michael Chambers, not finally figuring it out until it’s too late to do anything about it.

To those people, I say this:

It’s A Cookbook!
