The
following was evidently written by a UAL Captain. I haven't changed a word.
Think
of this in the context of Obama's statement prior to his first election when he
stated that he would dramatically change America. He is succeeding by going around Congress,
the Constitution, and the people. It's
not ineptitude or incompetence, as many believe. It's something much worse.
This
article is worthy of serious thought no matter where you stand on the political
spectrum. Unfortunately half the country
is oblivious to anything beyond a cell phone and social media. But they vote.

The PERFECT
analogy!!!!
LOCKED OUT OF THE COCKPIT
From a former Navy fighter pilot and a retired UAL Captain
"We are all flying on the Germanwings plane, with a twisted pilot at the
controls. Will we just wait, and assume the "Crash Position"?
"The 'real' pilot was locked out of the cockpit.
"That set of circumstances finally revealed the full horror of the crash
of Germanwings flight 9525. Co-pilot Andreas Lubitz waited for the
pilot to leave the cockpit, then locked the door to prevent his
re-entry. Then Lubitz, for reasons unknown and perhaps unknowable,
deliberately steered the jet into a harrowing 8-minute plunge ending in
an explosive 434 mph impact with a rocky mountainside. 150 men,women and children met an immediate, unthinkably violent death.
"Lubitz, in his single-minded madness, couldn't be stopped because
anyone who could change the jet's disastrous course was locked out.
"It's hard to imagine the growing feelings of fear and helplessness that
the passengers felt as the unforgiving landscape rushed up to meet
them.
"Hard ... but not impossible.
"Because America is in trouble. We feel the descent in the pits of our
stomachs.
"We hear the shake and rattle of structures stressed beyond their
limits. We don't know where we're going anymore, but do know it isn't
good. And above all, we feel helpless because Barack Obama has locked us out.
"He
locked the American people out of his decision to seize the
national healthcare system.

"He
locked the American people out of his decision to seize the

"Locked us out when we wanted to know
why the IRS was attacking conservatives.
"He locked us out of having a say in
his decision to tear up our immigration laws, and to give over a trillion dollars
in benefits to those who broke those laws.
"Obama locked out those who advised against premature troop withdrawals.
"Obama locked out those who advised against premature troop withdrawals.
"Locked out the intelligence agencies
who issued warnings about the growing threat of ISIS.
"And, of course, Barack Obama has now locked out Congress,the
American people, and our allies as he strikes a secret deal with Iran to determine the timeline (not prevention) of their acquisition of
nuclear weapons.
"Was Andreas Lubitz depressed, insane, or abysmally evil when he decided to lock that cockpit door and listen to no voices other than those in his head? Did he somehow believe himself to be doing the right thing?
"The voice recordings from the doomed aircraft reveal that as the jet
began its rapid descent, the passengers were quiet. There was probably
some nervous laughter, confusion, a bit of comforting chatter with
seatmates, followed by a brief period in which anxiety had not yet
metastasized into terror.
"It was only near the end of the 8-minute plunge that everyone finally
understood what was really happening. Only near the end when they began to scream.
"Like those passengers, a growing number of Americans feel a helpless
dread as they come to the inescapable conclusion that our nation's
decline is an act of choice rather than of chance. The choice of one
man who is in full control of our 8-year plunge.
"Lubitz was a nutcase. But now we are on a 'plane' piloted by a
narcissistic megalomaniac who has locked everyone out of his cockpit.
"It is very sad that our first African American President will be judged
in history as the most inept, corrupt, wasteful, subversive,
destructive, and divisive President ever. A man twice elected because
of the color of his skin rather than the content of his character.

a narcissistic megalomaniac, because she is a woman will likewise result in the continued practice of semantics over
substance and deception over reality."
