Freebies Defeat Freedom

So This Is How Democracy Dies

imagesThere’s going to be much written in the following days and weeks ahead as to why Mitt Romney lost the election, some of it will be written by me.

In fact, some of it already has.  In our post on October 22nd, we advised Governor Romney not to play it safe in the third and final Presidential debate and go directly after Obama on Benghazi.

As we watched in horror, Romney didn’t, and ended up agreeing with Obama on point, after point during the debate.  Where was the Mitt Romney from the first debate?

When the third debate was over I couldn’t help but think to myself “there goes the election.  Why would anyone vote for Obama-lite when they could just vote for Obama?”

Then Hurricane Sandy and the now infamous photo of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie hugging Obama.  Many are already saying that one incident cost Romney the election.

I disagree.  Romney cost Romney the election.  In a horse race, betters look to find the horse with a winning edge, the “difference” between horses to determine who’ll win.  Romney’s performance during the third debate gave voters no reason to choose him.  Simply stated, there was no difference between the two as Romney sat and agreed with Obama on point after point.

Romney gave voters no reason to change horses because he and Obama looked the same during and after the third debate.

As I said back on October 22nd, Romney needed to not 'play it safe’ and take Obama out.  He failed.

We are living the results of Romney’s failure during that third debate now, and that means four more years of socialist/marxist policies with nothing more than an ineffective Republican House standing in the way.

What will we see for four more years?  Here’s a short list:

- Still higher energy prices as the EPA implements its radical agenda to shut down refineries and coal plants across the country.  The EPA had regulations ready to go in case Obama lost, but now there’s nothing stopping them from driving gasoline and electricity costs to new heights.

- Higher health care costs, now that Obamacare will be implemented.  My employer already announced that more costs are being shifted to us as a result of having to be compliant with Obamacare.

- Continued slow to no economic growth.  Keep watching the job numbers folks.  Specifically, watch the first time unemployment claims starting this month.  They’ll continue outpacing the cooked “jobs numbers” coming from the Obama Administration.

- College Graduates can look forward to continuing to work multiple part-time jobs, rather than having a good paying job in their field.

- Housing market collapse, part II.  Weak jobs market equals weak demand in housing.  Home builders were ramping up the last quarter preparing to build new homes anticipating higher growth, kiss that goodbye.

And those are just for starters folks.  So to those who voted for Obama, congratulations.  You voted for freebies over freedom.  The problem for you is, sooner or later you run out of other people’s money to re-distribute.  That day is coming, sooner than you think.

That’s when those of us who did not vote for Obama will have the last laugh.

“So this is how Democracy dies … to thunderous applause.”

Food Stamps Contribute To America's Declne

Food Stamps Making Democrats Out of Americans

For those who don't know, the Food Stamp program is managed by the Department of Agriculture which provides Food Stamps (at Taxpayer expense) to some 47,000,000 individuals nationwide.

The National Park Service is also managed by the Department of Agriculture.

Yesterday, the Department of Agriculture proudly announced that they have been distributing the greatest amount of food stamps in the history of the Department.

The National Park Service, also part of the Department of Agriculture, asks us to "please do not feed the animals" because the animals may grow dependent and not learn to take care of themselves.

Meanwhile, on signs posted everywhere at National Parks across the country we are instructed to "please do not feed the animals" because the animals may grow dependent and not learn to take care of themselves.

Our government knows that providing for the daily needs of those who refuse to take care of themselves creates a destructive dependency.  And yet, they do it every day - on purpose - creating a new "class" of voters. I call them WELFARE DEMOCRATS.  This class of "voters" will never vote for any political party other than Democrats to keep their "paycheck" coming in.

The sad reality we in this country now face is that 49.5% of those living in this country are now dependent on the Federal Government for one or more of their needs from food, to housing, to (get this) "free cell phones."  Yes, the Federal Government is giving away "free" cell phones to the "poor" at taxpayer expense.

Tthe average "benefit" for one of these leeches who knows how to exploit the government benefits system, is a whopping $32,767.  That's far more than the average American family has in disposable income on a yearly basis.

Are these "benefits" really necessary, or are they really part of Obama's grand scheme to re-distribute wealth in America?  I'll answer that question for you: these "benefits" have nearly doubled since Obama became President.

Coincidence?  I think not.

I have a better idea: Let's not feed the animals, starting with the inner city thugs, dope dealers, welfare queens and moochers that are making us bankrupt.  While we're at it, let's not feed these animals either.


George Washington, our first President had it exactly right when he said the two party system  "...serves to distract the Public Councils, and enfeeble the Public Administration....agitates the Community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one....against another....it opens the door to foreign influence and corruption..."

Vote them ALL out this November, starting with the Wealth Redistributionist Agitator in Chief, Barack Hussein Obama.

Obama vs. Public Opinion

From TownHall.Com, Posted August 24th, 2010

Our Pick For Best of the Web Today

Obama vs. Public Opinion
Phyllis Schlafly

Americans are being treated to welcome entertainment during the dog days of summer as we watch the Democrats wring their hands over Barack Obama's tone deafness about political reality. Their despair about Obama is so painful that they are even calling on George W. Bush to come back and rescue Obama from his own mistakes.

The Democrats are reluctant to admit the truth that Obama is not a smart politician (like Bill Clinton, for example). Obama is a radical ideologue determined to "transform" America into the socialist mold, regardless of voter retaliation against Democratic candidates.

Let's tick off the issues where Obama staked out his lonely position at the same time public opinion polls showed that the majority of Americans lined up on the other side. Obama's determination to achieve "change" doesn't include obeying the wishes of We The People.

Take Obamacare, for example. Ramming it through Congress, overriding regular legislative procedure and the opposition of the American public, he deluded himself into believing that once it became the law of the land, the people would dutifully support it.

But they didn't. Even after passage, the Rasmussen survey reports this month that 66 percent favor repeal of the Health Control Law, and 50 percent say repeal will benefit the economy.

On Aug. 3, 71 percent of voters in Missouri, the bellwether state, approved a referendum to invalidate any Obamacare mandate to force individuals to buy health insurance. The same week, a federal judge ruled that Virginia may proceed with its lawsuit to overturn Obamacare's mandate on individuals to buy insurance.

The Democrats had hoped they could postpone Obama's commitment to Hispanic voters until after the 2010 elections by tucking the contentious immigration issue under the rug this year. But then Obama brought the immigration issue front and center by filing suit against the Arizona law.

A CBS poll shows that 57 percent of Americans think Arizona's law is "about right," and a Rasmussen poll found that 65 percent of Arizonans support the law. A Zogby poll found that 58 percent of Americans nationwide want their own state to adopt a law similar to Arizona's.

Then there's the matter of building the mosque on the ground near the 9/11 attack on New York City. Obama supports it, even though 61 percent of Americans are against it.

The mosque raises another festering issue. The Pew Research Center reports that 18 percent (one in five Americans) think Obama is a Muslim, and Time magazine puts that figure at 24 percent. The number of people who think Obama is a Christian is in a free fall, and 43 percent don't know his religion.

Rush Limbaugh reminded us of Obama's statement quoted in The New York Times that the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth" and that he recited it with a first-rate Arabic accent. The translation of the prayer call is "Allah is supreme. Allah is supreme. Allah is supreme. I witness that there is no god but Allah."

Obama chose the most leftwing Supreme Court justice in history, Elena Kagan. He ignored the Gallup poll showing that 42 percent of Americans wanted a new Supreme Court justice who would move the court in the conservative direction, while only 27 percent wanted it to move more liberal.

Obama is even pressing for Card Check, one of his many payoffs to the unions, even though 61 percent of Americans oppose this, according to Voter Consumer Research. Card Check would make it easier for unions to organize workplaces by getting rid of the secret ballot.

Obama is still pushing Cap and Trade, which the voters have dubbed Cap and Tax because it will make electricity and all kinds of energy cost every American thousands of dollars a year. CNN reports that 51 percent of Americans oppose it, and Democratic congressional incumbents who voted for it in the House last year are finding it a big negative in their 2010 campaigns.

Obama is still unwilling to face up to the American people's opposition to his economic policies of big spending, higher deficits, staggering debt and redistribution of wealth. According to a Rasmussen survey, less than one in five voters is willing to pay more taxes to lower the federal deficit because they believe we are already overtaxed.

More than 8 in 10 Americans believe the deficit is the result of overspending, not a lack of tax revenue.  And 58 percent believe that if Obama and Congress raise taxes to reduce the deficit, they will just spend the money on new government programs.

When Gallup asked Americans to name the greatest threat facing our country, the national debt tied with terrorism as the top choice. No wonder Zogby reports that 52 percent of Americans say Obama's change has made the country worse.

Editor: No wonder we can't wait for November 2nd!

Ronald Reagan's Tribute To Patriotism

No Better Speech For Today, the Fourth of July.



Makes me wax nostalgic for a President who truly loves this country, what it stands for, and how great its people truly are.

Not the worthless piece of shit that occupies the White House today, who hates America, hates what it stands for and for the most part, hates "We The People."

Our country is not lost however.  We came back from the malaise days and misery index of Jimmy Carter, we can come back from the damage that Barack Hussein Obama is doing today.  All it takes is a Reaganesque optimism and leadership that the American people hunger for today.

This November, we need to win back Congress for the Gipper.

Reagan Debates Obama

Capitalism v. Socialism





A Word To Our Readers ....

I'm sure many of you have noticed by now that I haven't been updating the blog as regularly as I used to, and it's been nearly three weeks since our last update.  Certainly Obama and the Democrats have given me much to write about and there hasn't been a lack of material or thought to post from their kamikaze mission to pass "Health Care Reform", their continuing to ignore the economy as more and more American's lose their jobs (but hey, "only 36,000" lost their jobs last month!) and Al-Qaeda's increasing attempts to attack our country, the latest involving "Jihad Jane."

This administration has become a joke, really it has.  More and more American's are speaking out against Obama, the Democrats, Republican's and the fact that our Government is going directly against the will of the American People.  Obama's and the Congress' ratings are at all time historic lows, and that's as it should be with what these bozo's in Washington DC are doing.

It almost makes me feel as if "my job is done here.." but I know it isn't and there is more work to do.  I intend to continue that work soon.

I hesitate to post this because I know my detractors will react with glee but the reality is I've been unable to keep up with the blog and many other things in my life that have required my attention (such as my job, family and other obligations) due to an illness that has hit me, and is going to take some time to recover from.

I don't want to disclose what that illness is other than to say it isn't life threatening, a mental illness, a drug or alcohol addition issue and I haven't gone "Tiger Woods."  I've been under Doctor's care the last three weeks and am starting to recover.  My Doctors expect it may take as long as another month or two of treatment for life to return to normal, or at least "normal" for me.

The reason I am posting this is because I didn't want my readers to think I've "abandoned" the blog.  I haven't.  I have way too much invested in all the research and articles that have been posted on this Obamanation of a President over the last two years to simply walk away from it.

As I recover from this illness and my energy levels come back up, I will be resuming posting on the blog on a more regular basis.  My plan is to start posting every other day for the time being, and again daily in the near future.

I'm also happy to post articles and thoughts from my readers up on the blog for those interested in submitting commentary.  Click here to send them via email. 

In closing I wanted to say I appreciate those of you who've patronized this blog over the last few years and I hope you'll continue to stop by for updates every now and then. 

In the words of the late General McArthur: I shall return.
