We are in danger of losing what made this country great. There may be a country that has the name, United States of America, but its heart will have been ripped out. I am talking about all of the assaults on American values by the Obama administration. Part of this is shown by the fact that it appears that it is a requirement that you love “Chairman Mao” in order to be selected as one of the Czar’s. As Glenn Beck said on his show this past week, he always thought that Chairman Mao was one of the worst people that had ever lived.
The worst assault on our values has to be the attack on Fox News. I say it is the worst because it is attacking the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. That first amendment gives us protection from government doing anything to inhibit the free press in this country. The Obama administration is trying to say that Fox News is not part of the free press and is therefore not entitled to protection under the first amendment. That is the crux of their argument that Fox News is not really a news organization. This assault on Fox News has to stop. We, the people, have to demand that the government keep its hands off of the free exercise of the free press. The other news organizations have decided to go into the tank and not be a “free press”. That is no excuse for now attacking any member of the free press to get them to change or shut down.
The next two assaults are on the economy. One is the Obamacare bill that is still in the House and Senate. The other is the Cap and Tax bill that is being debated. The worst of these two is the Obamacare bill. That bill would socialize our healthcare system in this country. Once the medical system is socialized, it would be extremely difficult for us to change it back to a privatized health care system. There would be a window of opportunity between now and 2013, but Obama is President during that entire time. He would veto any bill trying to repeal his crown jewel in the destruction of the US. The fact that the Obamacare bill would destroy the economy is bad enough. The fact that it is unconstitutional is also bad enough. The worst part of Obamacare is that it would destroy the American spirit. That is something that other countries do not have. If we lose that, we are just another country. With the American Sprit, we can do anything. Without it, we become like Europe today, weak and unwilling to fight for our lives. Obamacare would end up being the cause of our destruction by weakening our ability to defend ourselves.
The Cap and Tax bill is trying to solve a hoax. Since the problem it is trying to solve is a hoax, the problem is already solved. The real reason that the Democrats want to pass this bill is the massive tax increase on the country. They look at the increased revenue stream and think of all the social programs they can start (even though they would all be unconstitutional). This Cap and Tax bill would just destroy the economy of the US. It is easily solved by passing a bill repealing all of its provisions. It is not like the Obamacare bill where it would be almost impossible to end the disaster.
As side notes, Moody’s Bond Service has estimated that our bonds will need to be devalued within the next 3-6 years. That is much shorter than the last estimate under George Bush of 10-12 years. That is because Barack Obama and the Democrats are spending like drunken sailors on steroids. If we cut spending and eliminated the programs started under Obama, we could get our spending under control. That would lengthen the time period once again. Then, we could start eliminating programs that were unconstitutional and get to the point where we could actually pay off our debt. As it is today, paying off the debt is impossible and becoming more impossible as each day goes by.
We as a people have to step up to the plate and tell our elected representatives to either vote responsibly or we will find someone who will. By voting responsibly, I mean that they only vote for things that are definitely constitutional and they vote against things that are questionable or definitely unconstitutional. With those criteria, we would be in great shape fairly quickly
