GOP, Democrats, Obama AND Ebola

Leave a reply

This is a very disappointing day!

Just when the Lieberals had almost convinced me to blame BUSH for all the ills of America, heck, for everything that has gone wrong in the world, including the Ebola outbreak……..I discover  that the real culprits are the Republicans!

Ad Blames GOP Budget Cuts For Ebola Outbreak

Thank you Lieberals for clearing that up for me!

Thank you Lieberals for being so absurd that even your fellow Democrats will disown you and your ridiculous ad.

Thank you Lieberals for demonstrating the differences between your arrogant, and false,  assertions and the factual approach of Conservatives to our country’s problems.

Now, since the Lieberals want to play games with the facts, let’s play that child’s  game of “which of these things is NOT like the others?”

So, which of these things is NOT like the others?  GOP, Democrats, Obama AND Ebola.

The answer?  This time, as in previous elections,  the right answer is once again, the Grand Old Party — the GOP.

 

 

 

Unintended Consequences….

Leave a reply

Obama’s chickens are coming home to roost.  And, all because he has thwarted the natural processes of capitalism and the marketplace.

One of the main advantages of pure capitalism is that,  no matter the outcome of an invention or idea…..the market place factors in even unintended consequences.  All consequences, whether intended or unintended are related to the decisions made by individuals when they  choose which products or ideas succeed through their own purchases.  A farmer in Wisconsin undoubtedly knows which crop to plant better than a city “slicker” in Washington, D.C., or almost any state capital.  Having a bureaucrat regulate which crop, which field to plant, or even which fertilizer is acceptable, is going to create a system that is burdened down with rules and not efficient.  The success of any market place service or invention should rely upon those who actually use the product, not some bureaucrat.

Just look at your own life and you’ll see plenty of unintended consequences.  And, you’ll realize that it is YOUR job to handle even the unintended consequences that are a daily feature of all our lives.  While unintended consequences can be beneficial……for example, Play Doh was invented to clean wall paper and, instead,t became a kid’s toy and a financial success……………..unintended consequences are more likely to create problems.   By their unpredictability, unintended consequences are almost always a surprise.  For example, we took our family on an extended trip which everyone originally was stoked about.  However, it appears that some enjoyed the trip while others “endured” it.  Considering all the fore thought, careful planning  and expense, the probable outcome should have been a wildly enthusiastic bunch returning home.  Unfortunately, the outcome was different.  So, even on this most basic level, the family, there are unintended consequences.  Even we could not accurately predict our family’s responses.  How then could Washington, D.C., be able to determine the products that work best for us?  Regulating water in toilets, light bulbs, or even that puddle of water in your yard, are not the best uses of our tax dollar.  Because, if even a family cannot foresee how their own members will react, how then can President Obama believe that he will be able to manage larger issues, such as health care?

Capitalism is the only efficient and fair method of determining winners and losers.  The proponent of any idea or product in the market place receives the credit or blame for his own idea.  And,  if an invention suits the consumer, then the product thrives.  If a product turns out to be a dud, then the inventor loses his investment in time, energy and money.  “Putting your money where your mouth is” is the only way to make sure that an idea’s worthiness is carefully considered and that bureaucrats are not just throwing money at ideas that THEY approve of. So, if your neighbor invents a machine that trims and cuts entire trees, and markets it, the risk is your neighbor’s.  If the tree machine is a huge success, as our neighbor’s was, then he becomes a millionaire.  We might be envious of his success and wealth, but the time, energy, money and RISK was all his.  It is fair that he reaps the rewards of his ingenuity.

Obama, though, wants everyone to share in someone else’s success.  His “you didn’t build that” litany is all too common among the Lieberals.  Under Obama’s theory, a budding American capitalist is expected to work himself silly, wade through incomprehensible regulations, and…..maybe, be successful or maybe fail.  If that capitalist fails, the government is silent.  If that capitalist succeeds, Obama wants some of the “profits” for those who did NOT stay up late at night because  “you didn’t build that”.  Even though every fact and detail proves that YOU DID BUILD THAT, Obama wants to dig into your pocket for “his” share!

Why?  Well, Obama wants to fund his own ventures.  Unfortunately, Obama’s ventures are NOT of his own making nor are they commercially effective (Solyndra!).  He puts none of his own blood, sweat and tears into these ventures.  So, he is much more apt to throw dollars at a “pretty” idea without considering the potential success.  History shows us time and again that the most  effective use of our tax dollars requires that bureaucrats like Obama stay out of our business and lives.  Catastrophes almost always occur when government mandates  and controls details of individuals’ lives.   Such catastrophes are raining down upon us now, thanks to Obama’s  meddling in areas where he should just keep his nose out.  The current chaos in our health care is one example.  The failure of our economy to thrive due to unrelenting regulation is another.  The horrific numbers of Americans unemployed is another, for, no matter what the “numbers” say, everyone knows there are way too many Americans on the dole and not working.

.  It would benefit almost everyone if politicians and President Obama just got out of the way and let the chickens, who know what they are doing, lay their eggs when, where and how often they want to.

In fact, let’s get the bureaucrats entirely out of our health, welfare and pursuit of liberty.  Let’s get America crowing again!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are you better off today?

1 Reply

“Are you better off today than you were four years ago?” is a famous quote from President Reagan.  It remains a valid question whenever we approach another election cycle.

Well, I don’t know about you, but we are NOT better off than we were 4 years ago and we are much worse off than we were 6 years ago when Obama became President.  Here are just a few of the depressing changes that have happened to us and our family in the last 6 years.

Our health insurance was cancelled and the new plan is much more expensive and  has a much higher deductible.  We were luckier than some because we decided to pay an even higher premium to allow us to choose doctors and hospitals.  Some Americans are now relegated to specific doctors and hospitals whether they feel comfortable with those medical arrangements or not.  And, despite the vast millions spent by Obama to implement his Obama-scare, millions of Americans do NOT have insurance.  It would have been cheaper to use those millions and just pay for the uninsured because, we paid for the implementation and are STILL paying for the uninsured.

Our medical privacy is a thing of the past because our medical records are now transmitted via the internet to countless governmental agencies and are always at risk of being hacked and publicized.  Thanks to Obama-scare, medical decisions are made FOR US, and WITHOUT our  agreement or input, by governmental bureaucrats.  Some committee or individual whom we never see nor interact with is deciding when, how much, or IF, we can receive medications and surgeries that we and our doctor believe are appropriate.  At no time in our history has it ever been the purview of a governmental bureaucrat to make life and death, medical  decisions for American citizens….but, now it is.

Our income taxes have sky-rocketed.  Democrats and Obama continue to parade the lie that the “rich” should pay their fair share.  Statistically speaking, the “rich” pay ALL of their share and almost ALL of someone else’s share!  Plus, that tax money is being spent by politicians on crazy, political ploys like Obama’s Solyndra — now bankrupt — and other projects which promote the politician and not the American citizen.  And, because the taxes take so much of the income from the “rich” — btw, now being “rich” is anything over $100,000 — we are saving as much as we can and NOT spending on items which would create more jobs.

Our friends and neighbors can’t find employment.  Do YOU know anyone who is unemployed?  Is it YOU?  The result of unemployment is not only stagnation of the economy and, frequently, bankruptcy for the unemployed, but unemployment destroys a person’s self worth.  Unemployment has worsened the social status, financial security, and social structure of countless Americans, especially those who are African Americans.  Unemployment creates a dependent society that scrabbles for every government hand out available because it is far easier to stand in the unemployment benefit line than to look for work.

Our laws are being systematically bent, warped, and ignored by the very people who swore to uphold them.  The very fabric of law and order is threatened by President Obama and his attorney general, Eric Holder, because they ignore the laws they don’t like.   Illegal immigration?  Forget deportations and taking illegal immigrants who are criminals to court.  The IRS?  Forget that the IRS was supposed to fairly and judiciously administer the tax laws, CREATED BY CONGRESS, NOT the President, and now has become a  political tool to unfairly suppress Conservative groups and thought.  Equality under the law?  Forget that we are a country that was based on equal opportunity for all and now, thanks to the lieberals, has now degraded to the point that every  thought, word and deed, are run past the Lieberal political correct police.

Our country is NOT being defended against all enemies, foreign or here.  Russia invades Crimea with impunity.  Syria murders its own with chemical weapons.  Iran develops nuclear weapons.  North Korea’s citizens starve and/or are executed at the whim of their “leader”.  Saudi Arabia is upset with us.  India has decided to allign itself with countries other than the United States.  Radical islamists shoot Americans  and threaten us every day, and we are afraid to “upset them”.    We are weak on defense and thus, more at risk of being attacked than at any time since we became a nation.  We have become a nation that fears and is no longer a nation to fear!

So, now we have another election cycle upon us.  We have to decide whom to trust with our Life, Liberty and Happiness.  Elections have repercussions and it is up to us to decide whether to continue the decline begun when President Obama took office or if we are willing to elect people who will truly work to create an America that serves everyone.

So, I ask you.  Are you better off today than you were 6 years ago?

Obama….afraid of Putin’s shadow!

Leave a reply

Ukraine is in chaos.

Obama demands Russia stay out.

Putin sends in Russian troops.

And, what is President Obama’s response?

He wags his finger.  He postures.  He TALKS  AT Putin.  He has Secretary of State Kerry call his counterpart in Russia.

Wow.  Thanks to Obama’s placating manner and his deliberate ineptness in handling America’s military power, Putin is now convinced that he, and Russia, are the world’s new top dogs.  When Putin speaks, everyone listens.  When Putin flexes his muscles, the shock waves threaten the entire world.  When Putin wants to invade the Ukraine……he does!

And, our President?  He talks…..right through Happy hour at the local Democrat’s party zone.  Our President?  He drinks and glad-hands his buddies…..while the citizens of the Ukraine wait and hope…..while Americans wait, unemployed, at home………while the world waits, wondering what happened to America’s might.

Everyone, except Putin, waits because Obama is afraid to act.  He is afraid to lead.  He seems afraid of his own shadow.  In fact, it looks to me as though the only one afraid of Obama is the American media!

No wonder that Americans are pessimistic about the future.  And, the person to blame is President Obama.  Yes, the future is dark because President Obama has failed in his responsibilities as the leader of the free world.  And, now,  Putin is casting a long shadow and Obama…….why, even he seems afraid of Putin’s shadow!

 

 

Censorship…..the Left’s Dirty Secret

Leave a reply

Censorship has always been a dirty word in America.  No citizen believes that anyone should have the right to tell another what to say….to censor speech.  In fact, the right to Freedom of Speech, our First Amendment, is so intrinsic to our nature as Americans that even school children will cite it.  The only occasions that Americans understand a need for “some” censorship would be for National Security such as happens during wars.  Nowadays, we also understand that “some” censorship is acceptable to protect the inner workings of our intelligence systems or our negotiations with foreign nations from those who would harm us.

However, censorship can take many forms and much of that censorship is not only uncalled for, but is promoted for ulterior notices such as influencing an election.

In the past five years, the Left has succeeded in suppressing information about many situations  by claiming that releasing information would damage National Security.  Unfortunately, much of the details on those situations is NOT concealed for our own security, but for the benefit of a politician, or political party.  In effect, the Left and President Obama claim the right to hide almost anything that would damage them politically.  That is why they have misdirected, LIED, and obfuscated the free flow of information about:  Benghazi;  the CIA spying scandal;  the IRS subverting their powers by intimidating Conservative non-profits;  the ATF gun walking scandal;  the truth about Obama-scare…………………………..and, the list goes on and on.

The Left is comfortable with censorship or Lies because they are so accustomed to their political cronies lying!  This cynical, criminal habit of hiding the truth from the public probably began before Bill Clinton was President and before Hillary Clinton began her snow job on the Left.  However, though there are corrupt politicians in every party, the Left is unusually good at these activities.   Remember Hillary benefiting from the White Water scandal where she was the beneficiary of a huge windfall….one in which no broker could honestly say was possible?  Remember Bill hiding his perversions in the Oval Office from the public even under oath, until he was forced to admit it?   And, even then, he made excuses?  Remember Hillary savaging and persecuting the women (Wiley, Lewinsky, and others) to save their own political ambitions?  Remember the Clintons stealing the silverware when they left the White House………..and, maybe more?

Censorship is not a new activity in Washington, D.C.  Nor is the major news media playing lap dog to the Left, especially President Obama, a new or surprising development.

What is surprising, though, is the extent to which the media will go to promote the politicians and legislation of the Left.  The latest cry of the “Pack” of the Left is to elect Hillary Clinton.  All of the major newspapers, except for the WSJ, and all of the “major” networks (CBS, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CNN), are in full battle cry.  According to them, Hillary is the modern equivalent of the Virgin Mary because Hillary has done NO WRONG……….NOT EVER….NO WAY….NO HOW!

These pseudo news outlets run ONLY stories that promote Saint Hillary.  They ignore her failures when she was Bill’s wife, First lady, Senator, and even Secretary of State because those failures do nothing to advance Hillary as a viable President.

Even though it seems impossible for those media to do anything more for Hillary, they have now added censorship to their repertoire.  Censorship?  Yes, Censorship.  Censorship of a surreptitious nature because the Left is desperate to prevent bringing up Hillary’s history because they KNOW that Hillary’s history will kill her, and their, political ambitions.  Who wants a President who intimidated women?  Who wants a President who couldn’t understand the importance of securing an American embassy where Americans, including our Ambassador Stevens, were murdered?  Who wants a President who has a history of thuggery, outright lying, and incompetence?  Because, that is the kind of President that Hillary would be.

So, CBS pretends that these issues from Hillary’s past are not of importance when considering her as a candidate for President of the United States!

http://www.breitbart.com/InstaBlog/2014/02/17/CBS-News-Let-s-Not-Talk-About-Monica-Lewinsky-for-2-Years

Of course CBS wants to suppress the story.  Of course CBS wants Hillary to be the next President.  And, of course, CBS, like Candy Crowley of CNN fame — or infamy, will use any method to help the Democrats and, most especially Hillary, the face of the Democrats for 2016.

Censorship has always been a double-edged sword for our Democracy.  That is why the First Amendment guarantees Freedom of Speech.  And, that Freedom of Speech should never be abrogated by any individual, any institution, or any media outlet.  So, while we need some discretion on true National Security issues, we DO NOT NEED the media to be hiding and obscuring FACTS about people running for political office, especially the Presidency of our great country.  The Fourth Estate, the media, have NOT been providing news for a long time.  They are content to regurgitate whatever the Democrats, President Obama or any on the Left, tell them.  That suppression of Truth is one of the most detrimental types of censorship experienced in the United States.

Censorship by the media is a direct contradiction to what we expect from the media.  And, the Democrats will never acknowledge that they censor what we hear from them.  But, when President Obama and the Democrats misdirect, hide, Lie, and withhold the truth  from us because they hold the reins of the media, censorship will continue.

Censorship……………..the Left’s Dirty Secret.

Name a Racist………….

Leave a reply

Racism was, and still is, a dangerous topic in America today.  Dangerous not only for the damage that racism can cause, but dangerous because the term has become a buzz word for many Lieberals who are desperate for a political victory.  Dangerous because Lieberals throw the word around like it was candy.  And, dangerous because the term has such negative connotations that it divides Americans when we should be working together to repair the damaged economy and the damaged lives caused by the last 3 years!

Could YOU name a racist?  I’m not sure I could, but, Lieberals claim to know who is racist and who isn’t.  So, who really is a racist?

If you asked that question of many Black American public figures, such as Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson, their standard answer would undoubtedly include  some white Conservative, especially white Conservatives who are male.  If you ask many White American public figures, they would feel compelled to fudge their answers.  Why?  Well, racism is a political hot spot that even the most honest of people don’t want to talk about publicly.

And, why is racism such a potent issue?  It’s because racism is a means of separating Americans into a voting block that politicians can appeal to and that politicians can use to be re-elected.  As such, it is a sinister and cynical tool.  Asking someone about racism is like asking a Miss America candidate if she hates children.  Or, when did you stop beating your wife?  Labeling someone a racist tarnishes their reputation forever, even when it isn’t true.  So, why can’t we separate the real racists from the non-racist Americans?

Well, how would you KNOW whether someone is racist or not?  It’s not as if there is a litmus test.  In fact, calling another racist is problematic because there is no objective means of testing the accusation.  For example, many of us were considered racist because we didn’t vote for President Obama.  But, the accusers never asked which candidate had policies we liked.  We preferred Governor Romney’s Conservative and business-conscious approach to Obama’s “big government” ideas.  That did NOT make us racist………….but, those calling names didn’t worry about the truth.  They just kept on calling names.  Unfortunately, Oprah has repeated these accusations again, so the notion that anyone opposing Obama is racist continues to survive even todday, despite it being UNTRUE!

In fact, if Oprah would think about it, she would realize that racism is NOT about color or ethnicity.  Racism is a lazy way to label someone so you can attack the label and avoid confronting the real person or his ideas.  Democrats are very successful at these cheap shots as we’ve seen in the last few years.   In reality,  if you jump to the conclusion that you know what someone will say or think, based on his color or ethnicity, then YOU ARE THE RACIST!

So,  who are the Racists in America?

Is it President Obama who jumped to the defense of a professor BECAUSE the professor was black and the policeman was white?

Was it President Obama who crusaded against George Zimmerman because he thought Travon was black and George was white?

Was it President Obama who refuses to call the Ft. Hood shooting terrorism by an Islamic radical even all the evidence points to that fact being true?

Is it President Obama who had a Black father and a White mother, yet refuses to recognize that he is just as white as he is black?

Is it Morgan Freeman who admitted he voted for Obama BECAUSE Obama was black?

Is it Oprah Winfrey who, to this day, claims that any opposition to Obama is based on racist feelings?

Is it “establishment” Blacks, like Sharpton and Jackson, who ridicule any Black who dares to be Conservative, like Justice Thomas or Allen West, or Charles Payne or Condaleeza Rice?

Of course, there are people who are racist in every state, and in every country around the world.  That does NOT mean that opposing Lieberals and their “front man”, Obama, makes the rest of us racist.  In fact, it seems to me, based on those listed in the questions above,  that there are more Lieberals  who are racist than whites!

And, calling  Conservatives  racist, just because their political philosophy differs from yours is not only ludicrous, but……..maybe makes YOU the RACIST.

Remember,  our  DIFFERENCES in political views, our personal life style choices, or even our words  DO NOT MAKE US RACIST.

So, please, let’s drop all this name-calling and race-baiting.  Let’s NOT name a Racist……………………..   Let’s just live together as Americans….free, equal, and glad to be Americans!

 

 

 

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly — President Obama…..politicizing America

Leave a reply

The GOOD: Obamacare Website Closed for Repairs This Weekend.

The BAD:  Obama’s capricious closures which hurt:

Veterans, our pride and joy:

…government’s ham-fisted attempts to close the DC WWII Memorial, an open-air public monument that is normally accessible 24 hours a day. By accessible I mean, you walk up to it. When you have finished reflecting, you then walk away from it.**

Apparently, according to an anonymous Park Service ranger, “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting.”**

Fishermen:  Just before the weekend, the National Park Service informed charter boat captains in Florida that the Florida Bay was “closed” due to the shutdown.  Until government funding is restored, the fishing boats are prohibited from taking anglers into 1,100 square miles of open ocean.  Fishing is also prohibited at Biscayne National Park during the shutdown.**

The UGLY:

Frightening Taxpayers, the markets and the world:  Obama’s reckless default fear-mongering

Never before has an American president threatened and risked the U.S. economy and financial markets the way Barack Obama has in recent days. For his own narrow political ends, Obama and his minions have actually accused the Republican party of deliberately provoking a Treasury debt default because they don’t agree with the Obama position on the continuing budget resolution and the debt ceiling.**

These are only a few of the good, the bad and the ugly……….and, it doesn’t look like it’s getting better with President Obama, Harry Reid and Pelosi now joined by Schumer in a contest to see who can call the Republicans the worst, most egregious, insulting names.

The GOOD,  the BAD, and the UGLY………just another name for the political machinations of President Obama and Democrats.

Biden, the plagiarist, and his best buddy, President Obama……

Leave a reply

A.  So, Vice President Biden is now giving advice to the Republican party about how to handle the current fiscal crisis.  Not surprisingly, he wants the Republicans to acquiesce to the Democrats’ plan AND, he wants to hector Senator Cruz.  NOT a surprise!

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/09/29/Biden-Cruz

B.   What might surprise the public is learning that Biden is a known plagiarist — so, does his advice, especially in written form, have any value?  Unlikely.

During his first year there, he was accused of having plagiarized 5 of 15 pages of a law review article. Biden said it was inadvertent due to his not knowing the proper rules of citation, and he was permitted to retake the course after receiving an ‘F’ grade, which was subsequently dropped from his record.[25] He received his Juris Doctor in 1968,[26] graduating 76th of 85 in his class.[24] He was admitted to the Delaware Bar in 1969.[26]

He was NOT a particularly good student, preferring to lolly-gag, rather than sticking to either academics or sports.  So, is what he thinks a scholarly analysis of the situation?  Unlikely.

Biden attended the University of Delaware in Newark, where he was more interested in sports and socializing than in studying….

But, he must have done something to earn the right to be a Senator, and then the Vice President.  Unlikely and, in fact, untrue.

Biden received five student draft deferments during this period, with the first coming in late 1963 and the last in early 1968, at the peak of the Vietnam War.[27] 

C.   Gee.  Biden was a poor student who plagiarized and then, “fought off” his opportunity to serve in the Military.

So, there are the ABCs for  Vice President Biden.  And, here’s another.  He gets an “F” for flubbing all those speeches he gave with false information and just plain stupid comments.  Is there any good news?  Well, with his dubious past, and lack of any credentials to understand the consequences of Obama-scare, Biden has the same, basic resume as our current President!  Best buddies and neither one with a clue how to run our wonderful country!  

Who is shutting down the government?

Leave a reply

Once again, thanks to the Media’s yen to promote anything Obamaesque, the true facts of whether the government will shut down or not, whose fault it would be, and why it might shut down, are not being relayed to the American public.

So, here are a few facts:

A.     The House bill was adulterated by the Senate and sent back to the House.  The House offered a compromise that:  1–delays the start of Obama-scare for individuals;  2 — fully funds the Military, no matter how negotiations evolve;  does NOT SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT, but offers a continuing resolution.

B.    The Republican-controlled House has repeatedly sought to work with President Obama and the Senate, but Harry Reid has not only refused to consider anything the House passes, but publicly excoriates anything Conservatives believe.  The House has passed numerous bills and, even before the vote is taken, President Obama and Senator Reid expound on how they will NOT accept anything that the House sends over.

C.    The Media is trying to misconstrue the facts so that, if the government shuts down, Republicans will be blamed!  In fact, NOT ONE REPUBLICAN has supported shutting down the government.  The ONLY people talking about shutting down the government are President Obama and the Democrats.  Here are just a few of the comments by President Obama, and Democrats to prove that the potential shut down of government will be the fault of the Democrats because Democrats have refused to work with the House.  (Ironically, Obama will talk with the leader of radial islamist Iran, but NOT the United States House of Representatives!)

D.  Here are paraphrased comments from the Democrats who profess to NOT want a government shut-down;  but, are doing everything in their power to shut down the government so they can blame Republicans:

1 –I will NOT negotiate with Congress (President Obama).

                         2  — We will NOT accept this bill if the House adds anything! (Schumer)

                                3 —   The Republicans are using extortion to get their way. (Obama, again.)

So, who is really trying to shut down the government?  Well, if you refuse to negotiate (Obama and Harry Reid), continually call Conservative names (Schumer and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi), it kind of sounds as though the Democrats are at fault.

Republicans WANT a budget.

Republicans WANT a continuing resolution.

Republicans WANT middle class Americans to have the same benefits as Congress, and the big businesses have been granted through waivers.

Who is shutting down the government?

The Democrats and President Obama.  That’s who!

Dem’s Dirty Tricks

Leave a reply

The latest political controversy in Washington is whether Republicans will be able to defund Obama-scare in the budget process.

It surprises no one that President Obama, Senator Reid, Representative Pelosi,  and Obama’s Democrat minions, are using their dirtiest tricks to counter the Republicans though NOT by bragging up Obama-scare!  Nope.  Instead of discussing what they see as the merits of the health plan, Democrats instead are lambasting Republicans and the 53% of Americans who do NOT support the program!

It’s a shame that Democrats don’t have enough respect for American taxpayers to try to logically explain their position.  It’s a shame that Democrats would rather use cheap shots and impugn the integrity of Republicans.  It’s a shame that the media — CBS, ABC, MSNBC, NBC……..well, you know the ones —  won’t report the facts;  but, rather choose to play politics and follow the Democrats’ party line.

But, even worse is that Republicans are accused of trying to shut down the government, “just” to get their way over Obama-scare.  Democrats claim that Republicans refuse to work with them.  Democrats claim that anyone who opposes Obama-scare just doesn’t understand the facts!

So, let’s look at the some of these “facts” .

1.  Obama claims that implementing Obama-scare won’t raise our premiums nor our taxes.

Even a child knows that he might have enough allowance to buy himself a popsickle…and, maybe one for a friend.  But, that child also knows that the same allowance will NOT buy popsickles for all the kids in his entire city.

In the same way, adding health benefits for MORE people, and not requiring them all to pay their “fair share”  can NEVER decrease costs!  Plus,  the increase in IRS people being hired is going to be a huge burden on those Americans who actually pay taxes.

2.  Obama accuses Republicans of playing hostage with the budget and……..calls them dirty names.

Actually, the Senate is supposed to present a budget on a regular basis and they HAVE NOT PRESENTED A BUDGET FOR YEARS!  The Continuing Resolutions have been necessary because the Senate, CONTROLLED BY DEMOCRATS,  has NOT fulfilled their legislative duty.

3.  Obama accuses Republicans of not acting in good faith because they won’t fall in line with what he wants!

Republicans have a different view of issues.  That is why there are two parties, of course.  Why should Republicans be called dastardly names because they are standing firm to their own principles and also with what the majority of Americans seem to want?

4.  Obama accuses the Republicans of wanting to “shut down the government” because they won’t agree to his demands.

Actually, the Republican House has presented a financial worksheet that includes expenditures for EVERYTHING, BUT OBAMA-SCARE!

THEY DO NOT WANT TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT.  THEY WANT TO DEFUND OBAMA-SCARE………..and, their bill does just that!

5.  Obama claims that the Republicans are unreasonable because they are holding fast to their opposition to Obama-scare.

In fact, Obama is being unreasonable.  The budget has always been a negotiated document.  There is nothing new in any party just insisting that the budget be a compromise and NOT just a document for the President to rubber stamp.  Obama is the one who has publicly stated he is not willing to negotiate with Republicans.  So, he is the one actually trying to shut down the government. 

Obama’s latest accusations and campaign style rhetoric are NOT helpful in bringing the two sides together.  Far from being a President who unifies the country, or even the Congress, he is the President who has divided us from our friends and neighbors by promising free benefits to his political friends and making his political opponents pay the bill.  He has divided Americans by promoting a purported racial divide among us when most Americans simply want the freedom to pursue their own view of Life and Liberty.  And, now, he is willing to shut down the government just to “get his way”.  And, if Americans suffer due to a shut down, he’ll fall back to the typical, dirty tricks that he has always used……..he’ll blame the Republicans!

What a dirty shame!
