THE CONTRADICTIONS OF OBAMA SUPPORTERS
Barack Hussein Obama won the Presidency on November 4, 2008, mostly with the votes from African Americans, Jews, Hispanics, young people, single women, homosexuals, Unions, and wealthy liberals. When I hear these liberal groups talk about their rights, I wonder what ever made them think that Obama would be a leader who cares for the rights of Americans. In every possible issue, Obama believes in total control by the federal government, that is; Obama is a Statist. Mark Levin, in his recent book Liberty and Tyranny, gives the name Statist to everyone believing in the power of Big Government. Mr. Levin includes under Statist governments all the past tyrannies the world has experienced: monarchism, feudalism, Nazism, socialism, and communism, and now liberalism or progressivism. I want to approach this topic by enumerating and explaining the contradictions in some political issues facing our country today.
ECONOMY, TAXES, EMPLOYMENT.
History has shown that every Statist government ended in failure, economic collapse, poverty, dependency, abuse of power, and eventually war and destruction. Why does a liberal see nothing but evil in American companies and private businesses but thinks a larger accumulation of power by the federal government is a good thing? With private business at least consumers have some options, but none with a governmental entity. Why do they not trust private enterprise from those who are accustomed to do business and instead trust politicians who have never managed anything? Why do they trust these politicians, and why particularly Obama? Obama has zero experience in business, as manager or as working man. His resume is one of constant campaigning, agitator of community, and politician.
It is private enterprise that has given rise to a blooming economy for years, to low unemployment, to technical innovations as well as life saving drugs and devices. How can anyone believe politicians can do a better job for people? Are blue collar workers placing their trust in their Union bosses? What makes these individuals different from the CEOS of the companies? Do they really believe Union bosses are capable of running GM and guaranteeing them jobs with even more benefits? Who really benefits when the federal government controls GM?
In order to obtain a job, there must be employers. If the employer faces higher taxes and more government regulation, he/she would hire less people or eventually close the business. What would happen if everyone ends up working for the government? Where will the single women who Obama promised to help find a high paying job to get her and her children out of poverty? Take a good look at the communist countries of North Korea and Cuba. Do you really believe these places are the "workers paradise'? Why so many thousands of Cubans have fled to the US for asylum, with many finding death in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico?
Obama tells us he will only tax the wealthy. What does wealthy mean to you? He starts at $250,000 but, he will expand on this number because he will need the money for all the spending bills that have passed in Congress. In addition, $250,000 is not the same in a South Carolina small town as in New York City or San Francisco; and the people living there voted for him! Why would someone who cares for the working man tax him to death? The harder you work, the more Obama will tax you. If everyone decides not to work that hard, then where is that "Government Money" coming from? Do liberals believe money grows in the DC trees, or that politicians produce it? Only hard working Americans, entrepreneurs and business owners are capable of creating wealth. Government steals the money from these individuals to give it to their supporters, friends, and family. Your tax money buys politicians their votes, so they can remain in office as long as they desire and then; retire in comfort with all the benefits paid by the taxpayers. The Stimulus and the Omnibus bills spending is $1.2 trillion. Our annual deficit will be three times the worst deficit under President George W. Bush.
If anyone thinks Obama is different, you must still believe in the Tooth Fairy. Have you heard of the parties and dinners at the Obama White House, where Kobi beef is served ($100/lb)? Have you seen Michelle's new sneakers she wears to help the homeless at $450/pair? Do you have any idea of the cost of Obama constantly flying to other countries or within the mainland? Why do you trust these individuals more than anyone else? Do African Americans truly believe Obama is one of them? His mother was white and his father was from Kenya; there are still doubts about his citizenship. Obama never suffered the ordeals of Black American families. He was raised by white grandparents and attended all the best schools. While in Chicago as "COMMUNITY ORGANIZER", what exactly did he do for the Chicago Blacks? Are any of them better off after Obama? NO. Blacks in Chicago still suffer from high crime, from poor schools, from gangs and drug users. The only thing Obama did in Chicago was to advance his political career; and to help organize ACORN, a radical leftist movement that, together with congressional help, pressured mortgage institutions to extend credit to irresponsible people without credit check. Obama helped organize ACORN according to the Alinsky's Rules for Radicals, with Saul Alinsky being a committed Marxist, in order to steal elections by voter fraud.
Why did Americans Jews vote for Obama? Were Jews more afraid of a Christian President than of a Muslim President? Did you not see how Obama bow to the King of Saudi Arabia; the protector of the Islamic sacred cities of Meccah and Medina? Does it bother these Jews that Obama seeks to legitimize the terrorist organization Hamas, that has murdered thousands of Israelis? Perhaps these American Jews don't think Islamist jihadists would kill a friend of Obama. Are you really that naive? Have you completely forgotten 9/11, or do you really believe the mantra "Bush did it"? How naive are you; or better, how ignorant? Go back to the history books and read about Germany before the World Wars and how Hitler came to power.
As for the homosexual groups that put their trust in Obama only because of the promise of legalizing same sex marriage, how will they be affected economically? They will have to face the same economic problems as every heterosexual married couple, having to cope with higher taxes, risk of unemployment, increase in prices, etc. Is it worthy? In addition, it is a well known historical fact that tyrants hate homosexuals. In Castro's Cuba homosexuals are not tolerated and, at times have been persecuted and imprisoned. Obama seems now more comfortable using his full name, Barack Hussein Obama, and his outreach to Muslim countries shows a man that is very comfortable with his Muslim background. Do homosexuals know what Islam thinks of them; how Muslim countries treat them?
NATIONAL SECURITY
The most important role of a US President and federal government is to protect the citizens against all enemies, foreign and domestic. How is the Obama presidency planning to protect us? Apparently, by closing Gitmo and bringing the terrorists to the mainland for trial by jury, by demoralizing the Intelligence community, by prohibiting "torture" (waterboarding) and instead interrogate politely, by being friendly with all our enemies, by allowing Iran to produce nuclear power, by forgiving North Korea for firing missiles, by cancelling the air missile defense, and by apologizing to our allies for not being "European." In addition, Obama will put our country under International law, completely ignoring our Constitution. The United Nations, made up of governments headed by thugs, criminals, terrorists, and communist tyrants, will be the ultimate authority when it comes to war criminals, to the environment, to the economy, and to the education of our children. Are you people completely insane? Do you hate Bush so much that you are willing to sacrifice your family, your children, your culture, your country? Are you willing to see us all die because you have so much hatred for "conservatives"?
As for domestic enemies, Obama and Congress are now our enemies! What happens to a country when the elected government officials are the traitors? This Democratic Congress has passed several spending bills that will eventually bankrupt our economy. They keep scaring you with the failures of banks, mortgage companies, car companies, even the "Swine Flue"-----and on and on. Do you not understand that scare tactics are used to distract you and make you believe they just have to spend your money? The mortgage crisis was created by the federal government because of laws that forced financial institutions to lend money to irresponsible people, and lack of proper regulations by the SEC. But the mortgage crisis was minor in comparison to the tricks of the Hedge Funds manipulators, like Obama's boss George Soros. Now we come to the central problem: George Soros and all the "Red Diaper Babies" who have worked tiresly for the past five decades to demonize everything American and push their "multicultural, politically correct" world that has poisoned our culture, our families, our nation. They represent the "new founding fathers"-----no morals, no scruples, no God. These marketers of Evil need for the US economy to collapse, so that "the Government" (them with Obama as puppet leader) can take over every business in America-----no more private enterprise, no more private property. How can anyone think spending trillions of dollars (we don't have) can result in anything positive? Soon they will be printing money (like Monopoly money) and we will face hyperinflation. What happens when you have to pay $20 for a loaf of bread? Again, it will be the Obama supporters who will feel the greatest pain from this reckless economic policy.
Many of you will say that Obama can bring prosperity because of his plans in three basic areas: Education, Energy, and Health Care. I find it fascinating how atheists always need to find a god-----and then say they have no religion. They worship Mother Earth and they found a Messiah in Obama. What is religion to Obama? His religion is about himself----this man is a pathological narcissist. It does not mean being hyper or having fits; it means the need for adoration and the coldness of one with no conscience. One does not have to be a psychologist to see Obama's problem. Any person with his childhood story, his unusual life experiences, his associations, and his political Chicago background must be deeply damaged. His grandparents (on both sides) were communist sympathizers, his mother was a 60's hippie, his father an alcoholic from Kenya; add to it a mixed race marriage, abandonment by both father and later mother, a radical change in culture (Indonesia and then Hawaii); mentoring by Frank Marshall Davis, a well known communist radical who hated America and, a sexual deviant. Obama attended liberal elitist Northeast schools; became part of the Daley Chicago political machine, announcing his political ambition at the home of terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohr. How can anyone forget the Reverend Wright? Well, apparently the MSM wants all of us to forget this "minister" because Obama spent twenty years attending this church and listening to the radical anti-American sermons of Reverend Wright, spewing the hatred of Liberation Theology, a Marxist radical doctrine condemned by Pope John Paul.
EDUCATION
How does Barack Hussein Obama plan to help the education of American children? Obama opposes vouchers for poor families so that their children can attend good schools instead of remaining in the violence infested failing public schools of the inner cities. How does this decision help African American and Hispanic children? It does not; and Obama knows it. Obama wants all American children to attend public schools so that the federal government can control what is taught and who teaches it. It is called indoctrination and it has been accomplished in every Statist government known in history, whether Nazism or Communism. Obama wants these children to also participate in "community programs", that is, work for the government, become informers, and support all Obama's programs. Obama wants the rights of American children under the United Nations, not under family control. The children will belong to the State, not to their parents.
HEALTH CARE
The total control of the health care system in a nation is the dream come true for the Statist. What better way to control the population than by having the authority to control who lives and who dies. Why would Obama, a man who voted against the Infant Protection Act care about healthcare? Why does he preach morality when it comes to waterboarding the worst criminals who want to kill us while promoting death to infants who survive abortions?
The Obama Healthcare Plan calls for a Federal Board that will oversee the effectiveness of treatments recommended by physicians. The Statist will be deciding on your health, not your doctor. Tom Daschle, who worked on this Healthcare plan and was nominated by Obama to become Secretary of Health and Human Services (before he had to resign because of non-payment of taxes) based it on the failed European model while admitting "it will not be pain free." According to this plan the old people just have to get used to aging problems, the unwanted babies have no right to protection, and help for the disable is not cost effective. Universal healthcare does not mean continuing our excellence in advanced technology and treatment of diseases; the choosing of our physicians; or the availability of beneficial drugs to every American in order to include those without health insurance. It means reduction of service, choice, and availability of drugs and treatment for every American. It will make every American dependent on the federal government for his/her health and life. Do you really want Obama in charge of your health care options?
ENERGY
No other area outside Defense and Border control is more important to our national security than Energy. Currently our nation must import over 60% of our oil consumption from foreign countries that hate us. Any turmoil in the Middle East can cause disruptions in the transportation of oil, and subsequently drastic price increases at the pump. Our industrialized economy depends on energy for heating, for electricity, and for the transportation of food and other commodities. What would happen if all of a sudden we are cut off from the energy supply? Jimmy Carter created the Department of Energy to resolve "the energy crisis" in the late 70's; however, thirty years later we still have no energy policy and another bureaucratic government agency that spends millions of dollars yearly. Where is our common sense? Obama and his liberal minions oppose drilling for oil and gas; they oppose extraction of coal; and they oppose building nuclear power plants. Instead, they want us to believe that "alternative sources" will provide the necessary energy without any pollution problems and/or addition of CO2 to the atmosphere, that according to Al Gore and the leftist environmentalists causes global warming. There are two main problems with this assessment: those alternative energies (wind power, solar power, biofuels, etc) are inefficient, unreliable, and extremely expensive. Their potential has not been reached and it might never happen. Science research is not about a magic wand; it is about tedious, patient, and expensive application of scientific knowledge to produce new technologies, with many failures before triumph. Second, "global warming" is a hoax; it is another scare tactic by the Statists in order to further control the population. The Statists finding friends among judges were capable of victory at the Supreme Court in 2007 when 5-4 Court ruled in favor of the EPA that CO2 was covered as a pollutant in the Clean Air Act. Here we had five attorneys deciding a scientific issue which showed their complete ignorance of Science since CO2 is essential for life on planet Earth! I will not go over the innumerable sources that dispute the role of CO2 in global warming; but will remind you that over 30,000 scientists disagree with Al Gore and his environmental minions. Again, who would you believe: a politician like Gore? A news reporter? Lawyers? Or scientists? Our politicized environment is using ignorant people to gain power, ignoring knowledge and reality. The latest governmental scam is the Waxman-Markey proposed "Cap and Trade" environmental legislation which real purpose is a massive tax increase on all energy production and consumption. US companies will be restricted in the total volume of CO2 emission per year. The federal government will issue permits that companies would be required to have; and this permits could be sold and bought depending on emissions for each company. This legislation would kill jobs; increase electricity and gas bills; and become highly susceptible to corruption. Instead of further burdening our energy industry, the government should ease restrictions on drilling and building of refineries and nuclear energy plants. The United States has vast coal resources, off-shore oil deposits, and the technology for the cleanest energy producer: Nuclear Power.
The time has come for responsible Americans to stand up for our freedoms and our rights; and use knowledge and common sense to solve our problems. The time has also come for those Obama supporters to carefully examine what is happening to our country and what Change really means to Barack Hussein Obama. It is OUR COUNTRY-----either we will all survive or we will all perish. We need to unite against the government tentacles that are reaching out to every American in order to strangle our individuality and human dignity in exchange for total control.
