Are Americans asleep, or have we become lazy? Are we just too busy having fun bashing traditional values? Have we become immobile because of the assault on almost every tradition. Horrid, mind-numbing, foul language music, salacious entertainment, reality shows that display our worst sides, obsessive attention to our looks - covering ourselves in tattoos and having relentless surgery, etc. Where are our minds?
Greed and dishonesty are so prevalent. Where are the values of "the greatest generation" which endured the depression and fought a world war and then built our economy. Are we squandering that heritage? We even trash our history, and more and more our schools are accomplices.
Ignorance is colossal. How many people cannot name their congressional representative, senator, governor or even the vice president. Many know Obama simple because for them he is cool, kind of a rock star. How sad. I would prefer not to offend, but the time has come for unvarnished truth.
We certainly know that Obama keeps company or is associated with a collection of weirdos, kooks, radicals and revolutionaries. We know that he lies regularly. In his recent speech to the Brookings Institute, he mangled the truth and contradicted himself. And if you look back at the way he campaigned, you can see the bait and switch that has occurred. It's just mind boggling.
He campaigned on "change." But seriously is what we have in the way of "change" what any responsible American envisioned. Apparently we bought the Brooklyn Bridge.
You only have to look at economy-destroying actions:
- health care reform with attendant new taxes, dumping unfunded mandates on states and rationing,
- cap and trade tax increases,
- inheritance tax increases,
- income tax increases,
- wrecking the value U.S. dollar (inflation is coming),
- trying terrorists in U.S. courts,
- the recent EPA ruling (massive new job-killing regulation in the offing),
- "clunker" trade-in and other such incentive programs (they cost!),
- diversion of TARP funds,
- take-over of major industries and financial institutions,
- the nearly $800 billion economic stimulus program (mostly pork barrel spending),
- leftist judicial appointments,
- closing Guantanamo,
- card check (talk about antidemocratic),
and so on and so forth. I know I am forgetting many things, and that is the problem. He has the entire government at his disposal to keep us jumping from issue to issue, dividing people and blurring their focus. This is purposeful.
Orwell, you just got the date a little wrong. 1984 is here in 2009. Our leader is a constant presence spouting his line of propaganda.Or have we just got the Manchurian Candidate? Remember the theme of that movie? I have no idea whose "candidate" Obama is, but he sure doesn't seem to be the U.S. candidate.
You need only see and hear our congressional leaders to throw up your hands in despair. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are disgusting and at times they say things or have looks on their faces that makes you think they are crazed. See for yourself. If you haven't done this you are not paying attention to what is happening in your country.
And how about the promise of more open and transparent government? Is that how anyone sees what what has been done behind closed doors to control our health care as transparent or open?
Again apologies for the seeming hysteria on my part. but this President is a destroyer of our way of life. Coupled with the madness in the Congress, the nation is imperilled.
We need to coalesce behind the opposition and throw out the members of Congress who aid and abet this madness. Stop thinking about your congressman as a nice guy or gal who brings home the bacon. Instead look at the way he or she votes on these big, America-killing matters. That is what is important and why the federal government exists.
