For several weeks now I’ve kept from myself from forming an opinion about the president’s first State of the Union Address which he gave earlier this year, and the various controversies surrounding his policies on terrorism, and other agendas of his, including his new approach to hold America hostage by pledging that under his presidency the United States would not strike with its nuclear arsenal even if attacked by nuclear or biological weapons – incredible policies his administration has made their priority since he’s entered office, the so-called Health Care Reform. I have listened to all arguments – those coming from people sympathetic and allied to this president and his policies, and those from his critics who oppose some or all of these policies for various reasons. These opinions have varied from those who believe this president can do no wrong, make no mistakes, and is taking this nation on the correct course, to those who firmly believe that he is taking this nation on a trajectory to disaster in every area of his public policies with regards to every single agenda which he has chosen to promote as his own. There are those also who while they disagree with some, and perhaps most of his policies, do see some room for supporting some of his policies, yet they disagree with him on how he is going about doing it. And there are others who simply fundamentally disagree with him on ideological grounds because they see him as a dangerous Marxist with an agenda to fundamentally change the nation into a Socialist Paradise at the cost of the Constitution of the United States, in violation of the separation of powers as established by that Constitution. I have listened to all of the above. Some have presented extremely cogent points of view, presented and argued brilliantly, while others have simply given barely a reason why they continue to articulate such an opinion in the face of current events. Now it’s my turn.
The truth is that this country has never before been beset by such a collection of ignorant and self-serving individuals, many of whom are no better than common criminals, but except for the fact of station and they having been elected and entrusted to their place, have by every means possible, betrayed the trust of those who elected them, and have added to their activities, legislation which has not improved the standard of living of their constituents, or protected their interests. America is today where it is because of these politicians, and the American public, who for a long time was fast asleep has awakened. It appears at the time of this writing that some of the politicians have begun also to awaken, especially in light of the gubernatorial elections held in New Jersey and Virginia, where conservative Republicans won over their more liberal Democrat rivals, and in the Senatorial election held in Massachusetts for the 40 year seat of the late Senator Edward Kennedy, where Republican Scott Brown defeated his Democrat rival in a Christen Gilibrand in what is considered a landslide of Republican, Independent, and Democrat voters who made their voices heard. All of these states having had repeated visits by Barack Obama before the elections in order to prop up the failing Democrats. The people have awakened, the Tea Party is making its voice heard throughout the country, and yet the White House and a good number of House and Senate Democrats ideologically allied to this president have not. Regardless of the will of the American people, this president and a the leaders of his party are hell bent to impose their will and their vision on the nation and its people regardless of information indicating that it will create more problems, cost more, and bankrupt the nation than other plans being proposed by Republicans and some moderate Democrats.
Jesus said, “Because lawlessness is increased, the hearts of many will grow cold.” It is true, there is great lawlessness in the land, and it is at the highest levels of this government. When the president of the United States, and people from his administration, including the Speaker of the House, and the head of the US Senate can use tax payer money to bribe members of the House of Representatives and the US Senate to vote a certain way, then we know that corruption and lawlessness has reached the highest levels of our government, and that we have literally become what we so often accuse other nations of being; corrupt banana republics. One elected official was recorded as saying nonchalantly Dem Chair: 'There Ain't No Rules Here ... We Make 'Em Up As We Go Along'... There is great corruption in the highest offices of our land, and it is interesting how we demand from our allies standards which the leaders we have do not themselves meet.
We see corruption in the White House, in the US Senate, in the halls of congress, kickbacks, big labor sweetheart deals with stimulus tax money, as well as ACORN kickbacks and fraud, front groups acting as multi-million dollar money laundering machineries for local politicians with the implicit knowledge of the leaders of congress and the White House; all sorts of corruption. We see local politicians like Andrew Cuomo, Charles Rangel of New York, Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, Barney Frank and others as the most corrupt politicians in our time. Almost every cabinet level appointee to the current administration have misfiled, or not paid income taxes amounting to tens of millions of dollars. If you or I do this, we would have our properties confiscated and we'd go to jail. They, of course, get reelected and their political machinery make sure they're friends are taken care of. There’s even talk of all things, a Charles Rangel Pavilion! Can you believe that?!
In the world of dirty politics one hand washes the other, both hands wash the face; but in their case; what they're using to wash is nothing but their own filth, and the more they hide, the more corrupt they become. In the process, the system gets more corrupt. Like Dorian Gray, some of them may look as good as their promoters and handlers in the media make them look, yet deep inside they are festering and foul. When called out on this, we see politicians making excuses for their behavior and closing ranks according to political party. It is disgraceful and it is dishonest, and disingenuous. The public trust has been betrayed, and they need to be exposed and brought out on it. There is no excuse for them to justify corruption because the person or persons in question are members of their own political party. No excuse at all, and when anyone sees this, they ought to call them out on it, and point out that if they excuse such behavior, they too put their own integrity and honesty into question.
As the size and power of the federal government grows beyond the limits of our Constitution and our civil liberties and freedoms as individuals diminish, the arm of the bureaucrat will become longer and longer and will reach as far as your local communities, and into your homes. By then, it will have been too late to undo the change. If you think it can’t happen here, look again at the sweeping “changes” that Obama and his radical-run Democrat Party has brought to your way of life in the past year since he came to office. Also ask the fleeing refugees of Viet Nam, Cuba, Russia, China, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and every imprisoned nation on this planet. And then, rethink the common and highly misleading belief that “it can’t happen here.” Well, it is happening, and unless the American people do something about it at the ballot box come this November and in 2012, we will cease to be the nation we once were long before Obama runs for reelection. Obama knows that if the American people rise up at the ballot box, he and his party will not have enough voters to keep him and them in power. This is why he is now trying to “reform” immigration. He believes that if he grants the sixteen to twenty million illegal (“undocumented”) aliens citizenship overnight, they will swell the ranks of the Democratic Party and he believes, help him get reelected for another four years.
Next time you hear the word reform, remember that this word has a different meaning to the Socialist than it does to the rest of US. In Socialist parlance “reform” is the imposition of transformational and sweeping Communist policies in place of free market policies by government. It has been used by every tyrant from Stalin, Hitler and Mao to Castro and Chavez in establishing police state fascist tactics on unsuspecting citizens’ rights of free speech, assembly, property, opinion, and religion.
We are already seeing such tactics in this country: Free Speech – liberal progressives in the media and in the White House (beginning with Obama) are criticizing critics who oppose Obama’s policies as seditionists and Anti-American; Assembly – the same are calling the large gatherings of American citizens across the nation, people comprising Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and Libertarians – at the T.E.A. Parties as dangerous racists and angry bigots; Property – Eminent Domain has stripped the rights of individual Americans from having their property confiscated by the local government without due process or just compensation, and has opened to the door to federal, state, and local invasion of homes by government entities when such entities deem it “in the public good; Opinion – setting the tone for the press and government, the president has personally taken on his critics by name and has even told the American people to stop their criticism of him; Religion – it is a crime for the Gospel to be preached from pulpits when its contents address the twin taboo topics of Islam and/or deviant lifestyles such as homosexuality and lesbianism.
When ideology trumps reasoned and seasoned leadership, what results is nothing short of chaos; chaos on so many levels that it renders the person or persons who make them unable to understand the consequences of their well meaning but highly misguided policy decisions. Lives are ruined and destroyed by such decisions. Nations fall by such decisions. When the voice of a nation is muzzled under the guise of “tolerance” and uniform complacency, what some progressives call avoiding to be disagreeable, then the people of that nation have lost their liberty. That nation is no longer a free nation, and its citizens have ceded their rights and liberties, even their fortunes to political machinery that runs its government. The United States of America stands at the precipice of this type of change. This is the change that Obama and his political party promised they would bring, and this is the promise they intend to keep if the American people allow them to. It is now up to US to acquiesce or to fight back by campaigning against them and throwing them out of office for good when the time for US comes to cast our vote.
