Obama is no longer interested in nudging the nation toward
socialism. I believe he knows that he is not going to get re-elected and as
such he has now decided it is time to pour on the steam and do as much
“transforming” as possible before his party loses power.
The progressive/communists have had a great deal of control
for a long time and sadly there are far too many progressive-lites, in the
Republican Party to care much about stopping them. They just like to be there
as an alternative for those who don’t want “extreme communism”.
Obama is only too well aware that almost no laws or even
taxes for that matter have ever been repealed. Our representatives just can’t
seem to bring themselves to undo anything previous representatives have
accomplished. As a result we have ever growing regulations and laws. It has
reached the point that I dare say there is probably not a person living in the
United States that could not be either fined into ruin or put in jail for
breaking some regulation. Is this really the freedom our founding fathers
envisioned?!
We need only look at that family that bought property to
build their dream home and then were told by the EPA what they wanted them to
do with the property, all at the owners cost or be threatened with jail. I’m
confident it was only a test run to see just how far they could push things but
they were able to take it pretty much as far as they wanted and the communist
progressive media as well as Fox News hardly had anything on it.
Obama is now proposing a government media, read as
propaganda wing because he doesn’t like the way certain news agencies are
covering him. He would much prefer to bypass the traditional media altogether
just as he has bypassed congress on so many occasions and not a word from the
media or the congress on these issues either.
Did our founding fathers envision equal opportunity or equal
outcome? Did they envision social justice or equal justice (not man including
representatives and the president above the law)? Did they envision that you
would need to check with the city before you cut down a tree or planted one on
your own property? Did they envision that some government agency would
determine what or even whether you could build on your own property because
some animal there had more right to the land than you did?
They certainly foresaw the tendency of the government to
write voluminous laws that no one could read or comprehend as a means to what
might be called soft tyranny. Our founding fathers tried to warn us of these
things coming and tried to put in place everything they could to make sure we
could fight them, but it seems we have so lost track of what they were trying
to warn us about that we have let it come upon us anyway.
We have thrown away our liberties in the name of temporary
safety. Does anyone really think that terrorist intent on causing terror and
havoc in our nation cannot attack us just because we get searched every time we
go to the airport? The only people this hurts are the American people because
it takes yet one more liberty or right our founding fathers gave us away from
us. The same is true of the government rifling through our email.
It is not because our founding fathers didn’t see new
technology, it is because they understood the nature of man, the nature of
tyrants and the nature of tyranny that they gave us the constitution the way
they did.
It seems every time we turn around there is some new
executive order from this president that either overturns or ignores some
legally passed law from congress. Now the president has passed a law that
essentially overturns what congress did to try to get people off welfare. This
president is determined to have people dependent on the government.
Where is congress in all this? They do nothing. They say
they don’t like it but certainly are doing nothing to put this president in his
place. Instead they use it as “political points” whatever that means. When is
our congress going to begin to act like a co-equal branch of government?
I know Harry Reid and the other Democrats are more than
happy to see this president do these things, only because they agree with him,
but the whole time they do not seem to be considering what it means to the
constitution. They don’t seem to consider or they don’t care about the damage
being done to the constitution by letting presidential executive orders
override laws passed by congress.
One thing should be clear and that is that those who have no
respect for the constitution should have no place in congress or the government
at all. These people need to be kicked out of office as soon as we possibly
can. If they cannot be men of integrity and men who are willing to do those
things they swore to do or even promised (as in campaign promises) then they
should be ejected from their offices at the first possible opportunity.
