Politics and Insights from History

Another day.  Another Speech.  Barack gave his State of the Union address last Tuesday.  There was nothing special about this speech.  It was a rehash of all of his past speeches for the past three years.  Once again, Obama asked for more federal programs, created more federal agencies, more federal spending, more federal regulations, demanded that the States go along with his proposals, and demanded that Congress pass certain pieces of legislation.  Once again, Obama demanded that the government play an active role in the development of clean energy, something that is best left to private enterprise.  Once again, Obama participated in class warfare as he pitted the rich and poor against each with the tired mantra of the rich needing to “pay their fair share”.    Once again, Obama blamed Wall Street for the housing collapse when a bulk of the blame rests with Congress and the Federal government.

Obama’s State of the Union was full of meaningless fluff, but held little in specifics.  He spreads the lie that he saved the economy and created jobs, while many Americans wonder if they can get through on the next paycheck as prices on gas and consumer goods continue to rise.   Obama takes the credit for bringing change to the Middle East.  Though he neglects to mention that the Middle East is being overrun by radical Islamists who have little love for freedom or for Americans.  He wants to hand out free education, forgetting that someone bears the cost, and he wants to make illegals legal.

Obama talks about American values, but he does not know what our values are.  Barack Obama believes in a society where everyone earns the same, has the same amount of goods, works the same kind of job, has the same opportunities.  Barack Obama believes in the imaginary world of where everything is fair.  However, he doesn’t believe that he should be held back from his special opportunities.

Obama praised the military, but neglected to mention his cuts in the defense budget.

Obama made a lot of Demands of Congress, the States, and the people.  He did this while feeding his ego.

But there is a portion of this speech that concerns me and should concern every American.  Here Obama states:

“Some of what’s broken has to do with the way Congress does its business these days. A simple majority is no longer enough to get anything - even routine business - passed through the Senate. Neither party has been blameless in these tactics. Now both parties should put an end to it. For starters, I ask the Senate to pass a rule that all judicial and public service nominations receive a simple up or down vote within 90 days.

The executive branch also needs to change. Too often, it’s inefficient, outdated and remote. That’s why I’ve asked this Congress to grant me the authority to consolidate the federal bureaucracy so that our Government is leaner, quicker, and more responsive to the needs of the American people.”

Barack Obama is violating the Constitution by even making this request.  He is unilaterally changing the law of this land.  The way the Senate votes is laid down in Article One of the Constitution and cannot be changed unless both Houses of Congress choose to amend it.  For Obama to ask the Senate to change the way it votes is disturbing.  No president has done this before.  No president should do this.  The President and Congress belong to two different branches of government.

What is equally disturbing is Obama’s request for special powers that will allow him to unilaterally change the Executive Branch and the Federal Government.  This is not only unconstitutional, but it is wrong.  Nowhere does the Constitution allow the granting of special powers to the President.  Such a measure puts too much power in the hands of the President, in the hands of one person.

If Obama was granted this request, how long would he have this special authority?  Would he give it up?  This is dangerous ground and everyone should keep a careful eye on the Executive Branch, especially Barak Obama.  To even consider granting one man all this power is hazardous territory.

This is a path we as Americans must not tread.  It will only lead to our destruction.  Such measures are how people like Adolf Hitler came about.  This is how dictators get their authority.  They do not always take it by force.  Why, when people willingly give it to them?  This is the first step to turning the presidency into a dictatorship.  Do not grant the President emergency authority.  Doing so will sign the death certificate of American liberty.

Can we afford 4 more years of Barack Obama and his socialist policies? No we cannot. I know there are those who refuse to call Obama for what he is. But think about it; no president since F.D.R. has actively bloated the government, sought the destruction of the United States, and seized power.

Since being elected president Obama has:

· Out spent every previous president

· Grown the size of government while vastly shrinking the private sector

· Force the American people to accept government run health care (If you don’t believe this then you should study the health care legislation of 2010.

· Ignored Congress when they do not do what he wants by using bureaucratic agencies to enforce his policies or just issuing an executive order

· Allowed illegal to remain in the U.S. and wants Americans to pay for their college education

· Strengthened our enemies by allowing our allies in the Middle East to fall in the Arab Spring movements, which is quickly being overrun by the Muslim Brotherhood.

· Exerted more control over the financial industry with the Financial Overhaul Bill.

· Dissolved the Separation of Powers. Whenever Congress or the Supreme Court tells him he can’t do something, he does it anyway. Net Neutrality is a good example of this.

· Violated the Constitution time and time again.

· Increased power to the Executive Branch.

· Kept the economy in a recession despite all of his stimulus bills.

· Taken over the auto industry in America and turned it into a government run business.

· Appointed 30+ czars thus setting up a shadow government. All of these czars are not approved by the Senate and answer only to Obama. They are also all far left ideologues who think the United States needs to be turned in to Soviet Russia.

· Has used the NLRB to tell companies such as Boeing where they may build a manufacturing plant.

· Has issued many recess appointments to get his people in power when the Senate refused to approve of the appointments. Obama recently made a recess appointment to fill his newly created post of CFPB (which was created when the Frank-Dodd financial overhaul bill was passed), even though the Senate was not in recess.

· Caused the economy to stagnant as unemployment remains high. Though the government officially claims the unemployment rate to now be 8.6%, it is really closer to 11.5% since many who are unemployed are not included in the statistics. If Obama loses the 2012 election, do not be surprised if the official unemployment rate, as decreed by the government, jumps.

· Increased the national deficit to over15 trillion dollars.

· Made friends with our enemies while snubbing our allies. Obama loves to pal around with Hugo Chavez and placate Islamic radicals while he insults Israel which has always been an ally to the United States.

· Has managed to turn the presidency into a joke with his weekly concerts at the White House, games of golf, and constant vacationing.  While he and his wife live like royalty and tour the world, many Americans are struggling just to make ends meet.

· Increase the cost of living. The government says there has been no increase in the cost of living. If that is so, then why is it gas prices and the price of groceries and all consumer goods skyrocketed?

· Has made the federal government the only issuer of student loans. Before Obamacare passed, student loans were between the lender and the borrower and you could acquire one from any bank or financial institution. Now only the federal government can issue student loans, which means that students must now apply to the federal government for financial help.

· Has let the Middle East go to hell as he threw our ally Mubarak under the bus, allowing a bunch of Muslim radicals to oust him. Obama has also managed to allow the same radicals to take over Libya since he enabled the Libyan rebels to kill Qadaffi. Obama has allowed democracy to fail in the Middle East as radical Islamists, led by the Muslim brotherhood take over every country that had an “Arab Spring”.  When the people of Iran tried to protest Ahmadinejad, Obama ignored them. He remained silent as Ahmadinejad murdered his own people.

· Shrank our military with constant cuts in the defense budget. This just weakens the United States and paints a huge target on us for our enemies.

Is this the sort of man we want to remain as our president? As Obama seizes more power and blatantly violates our Constitution, America grows weaker. Each day we come closer to being in a fascist country where one man dictates everything. Barack Obama is a tyrant and a dictator. The senate has just cause to impeach the man, but refuse to do it. Many Republicans are too scared to stand against Obama.

In 2008, Americans wanted Barack Hussein Obama to be the 44^th president of the United States. What we got was a statist who has abused his power, violated his oath of office, and used every opportunity to take control of the country. America is best rid of him. This November you have a choice: Obama’s promise of slavery, or American Liberty.

Dear Mr. President,

I decided to wait and see if there would be any change in the course you have decided to take this country. Apparently you are hell bent on taking the United States into the deepest and darkest hole imaginable. Since you have taken office inflation has skyrocketed, jobs have been lost, more people have lost their homes, taxes seem to be going up, and nobody respects the United States. You have signed every spending bill that has landed on your desk while claiming that spending a trillion here and there will cut the deficit. How does spending money and printing money cut the deficit?

You have also managed to take control of the auto industry, the health care industry, the banks, credit card companies, the student loan industry, and the mortgage companies. And now you are attempting to take over the internet. The FCC, with your blessing, is set to vote today on whether or not they should police the internet. Both Congress and the Supreme Court told you that you cannot regulate the internet because it is unconstitutional. But when have you cared about the Constitution?

Only tyrants seize power over the people’s communications and try to control speech. You have proven yourself to be a thug, a tyrant, a dictator, megalomaniac, narcissist, and an incompetent fool when it comes to true leadership.

There is only one reason why you wish to take over the internet: control. The internet has been the last true vestige of freedom in this country. If the FCC follows your orders that will be gone, allowing you to shut up any one critical of you. It will also allow you to control any online businesses. This amount of control could allow a person to determine what people see, say, do, and hear on the web. It even paves the way for spying on people’s emails and posts on social networking sites like Facebook. But you were not influenced by this were you?

You claim that this is all done in the name of safety, national security, and fairness. This is nothing of the sort. Who are you to determine what is fair? What gives you the right to institute your vision of fairness by denying people their individual freedom? How are we safe when the government controls the internet (and everything else) and has the ability to punish those they deem are threats? And the only threats you see are people who are opposed to you.

Government cannot institute any law for the sake of fairness. To do so requires the violation of the people’s individual rights and liberties. Rights that should never be infringed upon. As President of the United States you should know this best of all. But you do not care. That is what is frightening. You do not care about the Constitution, individual rights, or the freedom and prosperity of America.

Your lack of leadership is costing us greatly. You have disgraced the office of the Presidency. But what can be expected from a man that shirks his presidential duties especially on important American Holidays? How can anyone expect true leadership from a man that throws a tantrum whenever something does not go his way and whenever people dare to question him? Who can respect a President that calls a press conference and then leaves ten minutes into it? And how can anyone call your actions the past two years leadership? You have allowed your party to run wild, spending whatever amount of money they wish while funding their own special interest projects. The bill that you signed last week into law is the latest testament to this trend.

Mr. President, I have come to the conclusion that you are a spoiled brat that has yet to grow up. Your vampiric ways are draining the lifeblood of this country to the point that there will be nothing left. You, and those like you, are worse than the rodents that spread the plague in Europe. Why some Americans chose to elect a toddler to be president I will never know, but this is what you have shown yourself to be. I can only hope that history will be just and shed light on your corruption and lust for power. You are man steeped in Marxist ideology, a belief system full of hatred and greed. Only time will tell if America can survive your treachery.

Sincerely,

November 23, 2009

Dear Mr. President,
Why do you hate the United States so vehemently? What is it about this country that causes you to despise it so? This nation allowed you to go from being a poor black kid in Chicago to becoming the President of the United States. You used our capitalist system to improve your lot in life. Now you have the gall to trash it and to deny such a future to all Americans: current and future generations. You, like all liberals, use the free market to advance yourselves and then you turn around and talk about its shortcomings and how it has failed and is outdated. If the system is a failure and outdated, then how is it you and those like you were able to use it to your success? The real reason for you denunciation of capitalism is that you and your ilk do not want others to be successful, thus challenging your power. Such greed has proven to be the downfall of all who pursue it.
I do find it interesting that you have recently decided to allow Fox News to interview you, especially considering that you and your administration has spent the past several months trashing Fox. Your duplicity came out clearly in the interview. In it you said, “I think it is important though to recognize that if we keep on adding to the debt, even in the midst of this recovery, that at some point, people could lose confidence in the U.S. economy in a way that could actually lead to a double-dip recession.” Why then are you pushing for universal healthcare? The current estimated cost is $1.2 trillion. $1.2 trillion! Then, you want to go to a green economy meaning that all current means of producing energy will be eliminated and many more people will be forced into unemployment. You plan to accomplish this with cap and trade, another bill that will cost us trillions of dollars. Considering we had to beg China for money to pay for your disastrous stimulus bill, where are you going to get the money to pay for these other two bills? And this does not include whatever else you have planned.
You said yourself that we are in debt as a nation and that if spending does not cease the recession will be worse. Why then do you insist on spending money? Why don’t you urge Congress to quit spending? Why not cut all wasteful spending? It’s simple. You expect the average citizen to do as you tell them, but you have no intention of controlling your spending.
There are also a few lies in your above statement. 1) We are not in the midst of an economic recovery nor have ever been in one since your stimulus bill. 2) The world has already lost confidence in the U.S. economy. Why do you think the value of the dollar keeps falling? 3) Double-dip recession? We are well on our way to a depression, if we’re not already there. And we have you to thank for this.
Mr. President, you had the opportunity of being a great president. But, you abandoned honesty and integrity for your Marxist ideology and your lust for power. Glenn Beck was correct when he said that you and your associates are collapsing the system because that is exactly what you are doing.
You’ve weakened the economy to a near state of disrepair. The dollar has sunk and prices are up. More people are out of work and businesses are looking at even more ways to cut costs in preparation for your massive takeover of the economy. This will result in further unemployment and a decrease in the quality of our goods while prices continue to rise.
You and your union thugs are doing what Marxists have done throughout centuries. It happened in Rome, Germany after WWI, the French Revolution, and the Bolshevik Revolution. Those who wanted a socialist utopia created anarchy by collapsing the current economy. Afterward, the ones who caused the problem step in with the solution. The people, being desperate and frightened, accept these “saviors” only to regret it later as their quality of life sinks and their freedom disappears. This is what has happened recently in the United States. Our own government, with their big government regulations, caused the housing market crash, inflation, tumbling wages, loss of jobs, and the continued demise of the dollar. Through you, the same government steps in with a solution: increase in the size of the government and an increase in government spending, thus choking what little free enterprise and liberty are left.
Mr. President, on the outside you appear to be like everyone else. You are clean cut and well dressed, even pleasing to look at. But underneath all of that beats the black heart of a soulless man whose foul stench and deeds are consuming this great country. If you do not put a stop to this madness, we will all sink into the black hole of socialism’s disease.
Sincerely,

Lady Liberty

October 23, 2009

Dear Mr. President,

Pardon me while I refuse to worship the very ground you walk on and refuse to sing praises to you. You already have a bunch of children indoctrinated by useful idiots to sing praises to a man who cares only for himself and his selfish gains. You must be proud that children are being taught to worship you. I’m sure you watch the video daily on You Tube with that smug smile on your face while fulfilling your constant need for praise and to be admired. These songs used to be sung to praise Jesus or America’s heritage. Now the lyrics have been changed to honor you, you who has done nothing to earn your lot in life. You are a tyrant who has betrayed this country so that you can bring about your socialist reforms all in the name of social justice. The ninth level of hell awaits you, sir, as it does all traitors.

But this praise does fall in line with the current school system in this country that rewards failure instead of success and you are failing to win the war in Afghanistan. General McChrystal has asked for more troops. Why have you not sent them? Why do you continue to piddle around with indecision? You meet with a war council to determine the proper strategy for Afghanistan when your general on the field has a strategy and undoubtedly informed you of it, assuming that you even bother to listen to him. You are not a military man, Mr. President, and neither are any of the members of your council. General McChrystal has a strategy and needs more troops to see it through. Send him the troops. We have a chance to win this war. Your indecision will cause us to lose. But, this is what you want, isn’t it? You talked about winning in Afghanistan during your presidential campaign and have yet to follow through. I do not think you ever had any intention of winning the war. Those speeches were a ploy to get you elected.

When was the last time you had a conversation with General McChrystal? February? Do you even care what he has to say about the situation in Afghanistan? He is the General leading our men and women against the terrorists in Afghanistan and unless you have someone better able to do the job, I suggest you listen to him and give him what he needs to win. Considering your lack of leadership, it is unlikely that you could appoint anyone to do a better job than General McChrystal.

Let me get to the real reasons why you refuse to send General McChrystal more troops:

1. It would make General McChrystal the center of attention, thus taking the spotlight away from you.

2. It would mean a stronger stance on the War On Terror; something you are afraid of doing. You do not even call this the War on Terror anymore. You pander to the Islamic world; frightened of angering the poor little Muslims. (Unless you have secretly retained your Muslim identity and therefore are helping them take over Western Civilization by weakening the United States.)

3. Following General McChrystal’s advice would prove that George Bush was correct in invading Iraq and Afghanistan. This would go against your desire to ruin your predecessor by constantly blaming him for your troubles and for a needless war. You knew what you were inheriting when you first campaigned for the presidency. What the nation is currently suffering now is a direct result of YOUR policies. You are incapable of accepting responsibility for your actions. Instead, you continue to blame Bush and ram legislation down America’s throat that will result in bloating the size of the Federal government, a bigger deficit, higher taxes, higher unemployment, less jobs in the private sector, and a collapsed economy as America’s prosperity weakens and the vulturous nations of the world pick us apart.

4. You do not want to win in Afghanistan. A victory would mean a stronger and more powerful America. You do not want America to be strong. Your refusal to do what needs to be done in Afghanistan is proof enough. But you have also vowed to disarm the United States of her nuclear weapons at a time when our enemies have grown bolder and show no fear of retaliation from us should we be attacked. The closing of Gitmo without any plan of what to do with its prisoners and the pulling out of Iraq before we even finished freeing them from the terrorists that moved there are other examples of your wish to weaken the U.S.

It appears that the only war you are waging is that on freedom of speech, the press, and the right of the people to openly oppose you. For now your focus has been discrediting Fox News. Your problem with Fox News is the fact that they are reporting the facts about ACORN’s corruption, its influence on you, and that it will receive federal money thanks to your “stimulus” bill. Fox News continues to report the number of czars you continue to appoint without senate approval, save for maybe 9 of the 35. Fox reports who these czars are, their radical ideas and rantings, and how they are the ones advising you. They report on the special interests that will benefit from you Health Care Bill: SEIU, ACORN, the Drug Companies that gave $100 million to support your socializing of medicine.[i] Fox News even reports the promises that you have broken thus far. They are the only news organization that is critical of you. And you cannot stand criticism. Your disdain for Fox News, and any opposition, comes through in your speeches. Your press secretary, Robert Gibbs, treats the Fox News correspondent with disgust and continually demonstrates his loathing for Fox. His haughty reference to Glen Beck’s and Sean Hannity’s shows on Fox portrays his hatred of the dissenting opinion offered by the network.

You hate Beck and Hannity because they report what the media will not, but they freely tell people what they think of you and any politician who is endangering this country. You and your ilk have yet to refute any of their claims. If what they say if false, present the evidence. Instead you engage in character assassination. You attempt to make people feel guilty for listening to them. None of you can prove that Fox News has made false claims.

Let us face the facts, Mr. President. You hate Fox News because they, unlike the other networks, refused to bow before you and worship at your feet. You hate Fox because they report the news whether it makes you look good or bad. You hate them because they offer shows with more conservative viewpoints than what ABC or NBC has to offer. But most importantly, you hate Fox News because people are listening to them and waking up. People are no longer remaining ignorant of what you and your minions are doing in Washington. These same people are wondering if they made the right choice in voting for you. These people are getting together in open opposition to the direction you wish to take America. Fox News is a messenger that refused to fall in line with your demands. They are a messenger that people are listening to. People like you thrive on the ignorance of others. Therefore you have waged war against Fox in the hopes of killing the messenger and forcing people to once again be subjected to the beat of the Marxist drum.

So you have had people from your administration accusing Fox News of being an arm of the GOP, a form of talk radio, or more commentary and therefore not a real news organization like CNN. By painting Fox as an opinion piece, you are hoping people will dismiss them as rhetoric. Your tactics have had the opposite effect. Fox’s ratings have skyrocketed and continue to climb. Continue on your course if you will. The more you attack Fox News, the more people listen to them. For a man who was trumped up as being intelligent your common sense is lacking.

Talk radio is also under attack by you and your people. Your efforts to reinstate the so called Fairness Doctrine under a different name is an effort to silence those like Rush Limbaugh by limiting the number of conservative voices allowed on the airwaves if not eradicating them completely. You state that there aren’t enough liberal voices on talk radio and that it’s just unfair. Well, Mr. President, that is how the free market works. People tune into talk radio for the conservative viewpoint and the bits of news they cannot find anywhere else. Why would people wish to listen to whiny liberals on talk radio when they can listen to them all day on every street corner and when they are forced to listen to the likes of you, Pelosi, and Reid every night on ABC, CBS, NBC, and MSNBC?

There are other targets in your sights. Those individuals who oppose you and have begun questioning you and your policies. You and your ilk dismissed the Tea Party goers as ignorant, racist, homophobic rednecks acting in accordance with Fox News, talk radio, and the GOP. Naturally you have no evidence to back up your claims. The Tea Party participants are average folk who are tired of being lied to, tired of being used by people like you, and tired of the government doing whatever it pleases with no regard for the health of the country and the liberties it is charged to protect. The U.S. Constitution was written to shield people from the government and radical politicians such as you, Mr. President. Quit circumventing it.

Lastly, there are your attempts to control the internet. All of those individual bloggers who question you and report news stories that NBC &c. will not. The internet breathed new life into conservatives allowing them to voice their views and find others who felt and thought as they do. It provided an outlet to escape the hum drum of progressives. They are able to refute the progressive movement which has sickened American since the late 1800s. Mr. President, you have been pushing for legislation that will allow you control over the internet in an attempt to silence the opposition there. (Siezing power over those businesses that conduct commerce over the internet would be an added bonus.) If you silence the bloggers you can isolate them and make conservatives feel alone and fearful of standing against you.

All of these measures are a direct violation of the first amendment. I do not expect a tyrant like you to care about such violations. You have disregarded the U.S. Constitution your entire political career by voting for legislation that expanded government, when you did bother to vote while in the Senate. Marxists, such as yourself, cannot stand dissenting opinion.

Mr. President, you have an insatiable need to be loved, admired, and worshipped the way those school children are being taught to do. So you do what you do best. You attempt to take away people’s rights, rights that are not of man. You take away individual choice by eliminating the free market through imposed regulations.

But be warned, Mr. President. You may win, but it will only be a Pyrrhic victory. History has shown that traitors and tyrants meet bitter ends.

Sincerely,

Lady Liberty

1. Why was a stimulus bill passed when we had to borrow money from China to pay for it?

2. Since all revenue generated by the government is already spent and our country is basically bankrupt, why does Congress and the president continue to pass spending bills?  Wouldn’t the sensible thing to do be to cut spending?

3. Universal health care, in all its forms, has failed everywhere it has been tried. Medicare and Medicaid are bankrupt and do not provide quality care to its recipients. Why, then, is President Obama and Congress pushing for a Universal Health Care plan? Since the U.S. is bankrupt and is forced to borrow money to meet its spending, how do they expect to pay for it?

4. Cap and Trade failed during the Clinton administration and slowed economic growth. Knowing this, why is the federal government passing it again?

5. We are in a recession and well on our way into a depression, so why is Congress and President Obama passing more legislation that increases spending and our taxes? Such measures prevent economic prosperity and prolong economic downturn.

6. We were told that the Stimulus Bill would stop the rising unemployment rate and create more jobs. Why then, since its passage, the unemployment rate has dramatically increased? Where are all the jobs Obama promised us?

7. In the six months since the Stimulus Bill was passed, over 2 million jobs have been lost, costs are going up, taxes are increasing, and the unemployment rate has almost doubled, sitting at 9.5%. Why is Obama not taking responsibility for this? Why does he continue to blame Bush for the bad economy, especially since the past 6-7 months is the consequence of his bill?

8. Why do we constantly have the same people, the same faces in Congress?

9. Why do former Democrat Presidents keep showing up on the public stage giving speeches or running for another office, while former Republican Presidents tend to just go home?

10. Why do presidents have czars when they are unconstitutional?

11. Why does our government continue to whine the rich do not pay enough in taxes? The wealthy in this country already pay the majority of our taxes. They always have.

12. How much does an individual have to pay in taxes before it is considered enough?

13. Why does the federal government control almost every aspect of our lives? They control the schools, health care, businesses (through various regulations), food and drug, banks, car companies, industry, and agriculture to name a few.

14. Why do people jump for joy when the government says they will give them something for free, knowing all along that it’s never free? (i.e. universal health care or free health care)

15. Why is we are told the less government and deregulation is what caused this current economic mess when for the past 70 years we have steadily moved toward more government regulations and more government programs? (Despite efforts by some Republicans, we have yet to enact massive deregulation and massive, permanent tax cuts.)

16. Why do we have Affirmative Action? In a time when we are supposed to ignore the color of someone’s skin, doesn’t Affirmative Action make look at race first?

17. Why can’t people admit that the only reason Barak Obama was elected, and that they voted for him, was because he is black?

And why can’t the media just admit that they are in love with this idiot, who has the same IQ as TOTUS? (TOTUS is the president’s teleprompter that seems to have been breaking down an awful lot lately.  Good Job TOTUS!  Keep up the good work.)

18. The time when Countries, especially the United States, experienced the most economic growth and prosperity was when the federal government left people alone and did not micromanage everything. Why is it we have not learned from that? Why do we increase the size of government and spending when the economy is failing?

19. Why are liberals incapable of telling people who they really are and what they stand for? (They always run as moderates or semi-conservative to get elected and then show their true colors.)

20. If the state of California is bankrupt from all of their spending on welfare/entitlement programs and are now forced to hand out IOUs, why is Congress and President Obama following their example? Shouldn’t they be learning from their mistakes and not duplicating California? (New York and Massachusetts are also going bankrupt with their big government policies.)

21. Where is the tax cut that Obama promised 95% of Americans? Or is that the extra ten dollars in everyone’s paycheck? (Wow. We can now go to Starbucks to prevent them from going into bankruptcy.)

22. Why is President of Obama, leader of the FREE world, shaking hands and being chummy with dictators who force their people to live in poverty?

23. Manuel Zelaya, former president of Honduras, was overthrown by the Honduran military when he tried to remain in office even though his term was up and the people had voted for a new president. According to the Honduran constitution, Zelaya had to leave, but he tried to usurp the constitution and declare himself president for life. The Honduran military upheld their constitution, their laws. It was not a coup. Obama condemned the actions of the Honduran people and military demanding that they return Manuel Zelaya to power. Could this be an insight into Obama’s true intentions? Is he planning to remain president even when his term ends and the American people elect another to take his place?

President Obama swore an oath the uphold, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. Since then he has systematically violated it and has taken over industries that were one in the hands of the private sector. Nowhere in the Constitution is our government (the Presidency, Congress, and the Supreme Court) given the authority to take over businesses, mange health care, dole out welfare/entitlement funds to anyone, to buy crops from farmers.  Why is he not up for impeachment? (Many member of Congress should be impeached as well.)

Why is Obama concerning himself with universal healthcare, cap and trade, and another stimulus bill when we are being threatened by foreign powers?  North Korea vowed to wipe the United States off the map.  Why has Obama not addressed this?

Why is Obama cutting our military defenses?  Does he want the U.S. to be attacked?

How could the Obama administration “misread the economy” when he spent his entire campaign telling us that we “are in the worst economy since the Great Depression”?

Did anyone ever bother to consider that perhaps the 46 million people in this country who do not have health insurance, do not want it? (Everyone in this country has access to health care, even if they do not carry health insurance.  This will change under Obama’s health care plan.)

Did it ever occur to people, especially the government, that the reason the health care system in the U.S. is broken is because the of all the rules/regulations imposed on it by the government and the bureaucracy that always accompanies said regulations?

Why do people turn to the government to fix the economy when it was the government that caused the economic downturn?

Why is it that those who are for universal health care and praise Canada’s health care system, go to privately run hospital in the U.S. and stay far away from countries that have socialized medicine?  Also, if government run health care is so great, why do people who live in countries such as Canada, England, Sweden, etc. come to the United States for medical care? Look at Micheal Moore.  He constantly praises countries like Canada and Cuba for their great health care.  Yet when he needed medical help in losing weight, he went to a privately run hospital in Florida.  Hypocrite!

The U.S. Constitution is no more than 3-4 pages in length.  Why are all the bills passed by Congress more than a 1,000 pages?  Can we say, “pork barrel spending?”

Why is it that lately Congess has passed legislation without even reading or debating the bill?  Isn’t it important to know exactly what you are voting on and enacting into law?

Why would anyone want the federal government to run the health care system, or any system in this country when they destroy everything they touch? Look at the education system.  Since the formation of the Department of Education and the feds took control of education, the quality of education in this country has decreased every year.  High Schools are turning out kids who can barely read or do basic math, much less actually think.  Colleges routinely turn out graduates who know less than they did before they registered with classes.  Very few graduates understand history, basic economics, common sense, or that the gray matter between their ears is for thinking.  Analytical thinking.  It is not for listing to your ipod or watching the latest music video on you tube.

What ever happened to the American Spirit and America’s rugged individualism?

Why are liberals always angry at a bunch of dead, white males? THose dead, white males made this country that they live in and prospered in.
