What's Mr. Obama up to?
WHAT'S MR.OBAMA UP TO? 1/16/'10
As you can see I wrote this piece last January, mostly to vent my spleen. Now it seems that much of what I feared has been happening and we haven't seen the end yet. Woe on those who voted for Mr. Obama. 1/16/10
Al-Queda is in the business of killing Christians, apostates, westerners and particularly Americans. Everybody knows that by now.
By reluctantly sending fewer troops to Afghanistan than his own generals asked for many months earlier, the President might sacrifice additional soldier's lives unnecessarily because we will be undermanned for a variety of missions. Will anyone remember?
Every day we read about more car bombs exploding and military personnel killed or wounded in random, yet planned, attacks on the local political system for the purpose of wearing us out and persuading us to leave the territory so the Taliban and al-Queda can again dispense some more of their own mercy.
But when you think about it, how many of us draw the conclusion that if and when we surrender the Middle East to the terrorists it will make it that much easier for them to repeat their special guerilla warfare right here at home. So under-manning the Afghanistan effort is really irresponsible. Yet, the prospect doesn't seem to bother the current Government?
And maybe it doesn't bother our current Administration either that Muslim friendly organizations in the USA, and there are many now, have been preparing the
" USA battlefield" for years already. They are getting brasher and more intimidating if not threatening by the day. There are any number of instances on the record about Muslim leadership complaining about our school menus, bathroom facilities, overt references to Christianity etc. that "must" be removed or remodeled so Muslim pupils can function the way they want. It is outrageous but true. Sharia financial rules are available at many banks today.
But the question should be, why do we allow this to happen? We have our own very good rules and everyone must abide by them. If that bothers somebody, he or she should be advised to leave again. Because immigrants take an oath that they are desirous to adopt our whole country and its laws, rules and culture, or, otherwise no visa or citizenship.
Strangely, it seems our Government believes that it is better for us to acquiesce maybe.?
But wouldn't that create a conflict with our Constitution, which the Government must at all times uphold and defend. Since we were and still are, although somewhat less maybe today, a Christian nation it is one thing to be tolerant of other "religions", but not if those are clearly focused on a confrontation with our national culture and religion.
The longer term consequences of this constant radical Muslim agitation on our own society and its cultural and religious conduct is putting us on the defensive. Which is just what the Muslims radicals want. What is even more astounding, they are now getting a helping hand from our own government doling out money, via-via, to a variety of Muslim friendly organizations.
Broadly speaking, I am afraid this government is on a tear to ruin our culture, our healthcare system, our national currency, our economy and our position in the world as the best policeman this globe has seen for over 60 years. It is an "abomination".
We are being abominated constantly now and if you do not believe it, you haven't been paying attention.
(The latest is the President's frantic gamble to go to Massachusetts on Sunday to see if that might prevent his Party losing a crucial Senate seat. )
What most people appear to believe is that the previous government of George W. Bush was the cause of the recent financial disaster. But that is not quite true. What is true is that the many repeated warnings made by President Bush in most of his State of the Union addresses to the Congress about inadequate financial regulation of credit issuers would lead to high inflation or worse. The Congress, particularly Messrs. Barney Frank, Schumer and Dodd would have nothing of it. Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac were doing just fine. As Mr Barney Frank famously said at one point: " I want to roll the dice once more". Well he did, and the whole house of cards came tumbling down. It was the Congress collectively that refused to accept the responsibility for curtailing the home mortgage credit markets. The one major mistake of Mr. Bush was his decision to maintain Mr. Greenspan as Chairman of the FED or at least to not have told him to start tightening up on the cost of money.
A second and virtually unmanageable problem for Mr. Bush, at the time, was that he needed the Congress to support his Iraqi war issue which cost him most of the leverage he otherwise might have had to force the Congress to curb the financial bubble from exploding eventually.
So what does Mr. Obama do, having the Congress in his pocket? He starts throwing money out the window to create jobs??? Well, that doesn't work and we know it. A government cannot spend money unless it taxes free people's earnings sooner or later.
Remember George Washington begging the fledgling government of the brand-new fighting USA in 1777 that he really needed some money to buy ammunition and blankets for his freezing troops!!. At least all the sacrifices then were made for a very good cause.
Which obviously is not the case today.
In stark contrast, our modern new Government throws money out the window that they don't have!! Don't they know that jobs are created only by the free market as it produces value! That’s what creates additional wealth and makes the economy in all its many facets grow and become more competitive. Then the government can take its share.
But, government money thrown at uneconomical wind mill farms, bio-fuel operations, solar power projects or carbon trading schemes is wasted in the grand manner. The government shouldn't be competing with business in the first place. The free market exists because people take risks with their own money to pursue ideas that may or may not pay off over time. If they do, excellent and nobody has to pay more taxes if they fail.
But whenever the government throws money, our money, at risky, and probably questionable operations, often promoted by "quick buck artists", it is the citizenry that in the end pays the bills when the project collapses. The government after all can only use taxpayer's money. It's the only money they have that's legit and any other government financing scheme is ipso facto based on the taxpayer's collective credit.
All this "free" money that is now being thrown around is bound to grow our national debt at an incredible rate and as a result we will have to pay much higher taxes for years to come to pay off all those people and countries holding this debt, like China. It will also make our industry less competitive, our military less robust and ready, our schools and hospitals less able to grow and improve their respective national functions of defense, education and medical care.
In its totality and with the dogmatic fervor of a fanatic, Mr. Obama is trying to force the Congress to bend to his Will. It is an unseemly performance, not just by the way the President operates but by the illegal arm-twisting that's going on to force Senators to vote "Aye" instead of using their own judgment of the moment. This is a far and unacceptable cry from rational, democratic political gamesmanship.
What it proves is that there are many people in high and powerful places in the government today who are willing to follow the leader believing that any infractions of the applicable rules of law and honor will be overlooked as long as they get the results wanted by the Boss-Man. This is no longer democracy as we knew it, this smacks of the way Adolf Hitler used the Reichstag after he became Chancellor
in 1933. Never mind the rules, HE made the rules. And we know where that ended.
It certainly seems to me as if Mr. Obama is trying to ruin the country in short order just so al-Queda doesn't have to do it later!! What else to conclude?
All kidding aside, we have embarked on a perilous path, it seems to me, with a government that borders on the incompetent, coupled with a philosophy that will literally wreck our country. Its flouting of proven and Constitution driven standards of governmental conduct, together with its obvious lack of a patriotic approach to our country's future and position in the world and with its contempt for free market principles this Government should give all of us pause before this show gets completely out of hand.
We are warned!
