That the obumbler, and his closest minions, are trying to destroy our country and the ideals our founding fathers instituted, is self-evident!:
* Prior to running for president, our president and first lady routinely
attended religious services with their impressionable young children where
vitriolic, un-American rhetoric was common fare. Ask yourself: “How many times
would you have to hear ‘God damn America’ from your preacher before deciding to
never attend again?” What would your core beliefs have to be, to continue
attending and bringing your children?
* Our country is starved for
affordable energy. High energy prices are choking our economy and sapping our
strength. Despite this, Obama does everything in his power to stop America from
tapping our domestic energy supplies. He uses every regulatory power to stop
drilling for oil and natural gas, denies permits for construction of nuclear
power plants, and discourages the use of coal, oil shale and tar sands (where
our reserves dwarf those of Saudi Arabia). This cannot be explained away based
on environmental concerns (even misguided ones), because Obama applauds and
promises to financially support Brazilian deep-water oil drilling.
*
While thwarting real energy solutions, Obama pours our national treasure into
green energy “solutions” such as wind and solar that can’t possibly fill more
than a few percent of our needs at much greater cost.
* Failing to get
congressional support for cap and trade legislation, Obama seeks to end-run
Congress and have the EPA impose carbon emission regulations that will
effectively nationalize the American energy industry and further hamstring our
economy.
* Seeing the decline of unions in the dwindling private sector,
Obama supports a card-check system that denies American workers the right to
vote via secret ballot when unionization is proposed. This is a direct affront
to the historic American principle of democracy.
* Obama’s tax policy can
be summed up as follows: “What you produce is the property of the state. We
would like to take it all, but we know you would stop working if we did.
Therefore, we are trying to determine how much to let you keep so you will
continue to work.” He has NEVER espoused or supported the idea of private
property rights. His latest budget speech introduced the notion of “tax
expenditures,” equating the act of government letting you keep some of your
income with “expenditures” as if it was government property being
“spent.”
* The stake in our national heart is Obama’s massive spending
spree. Forty percent of current federal spending is borrowed, an annual amount
greater than 10% of our Gross Domestic Product. Every sober economist will
testify that this is the road to national ruin. We are doomed if we continue and
that is exactly what Obama proposes, both in his original budget and in his
revised budget response to various weak-kneed Republican plans. Obama’s spending
proposals can only be explained as a conscious attempt to destroy America as a
world power and undermine our freedoms.
* As if the foregoing is not
sufficient, President Obama recently moved to undermine the security of one of
our few reliable allies when he publicly proposed that Israel accept a return to
their pre-1967 borders as the basis of renewed negotiations with Hamas. What is
his next suggestion? Slipping anthrax into their knishes and latkes?
*
Space does not permit me to detail other indictable grievances: the growth of
unaccountable regulatory Czars and their fiefdoms, Obama’s weakening of our
military, his other debilitating foreign policy decisions, and the destruction
of our national pride via endless apologies.
An assortment of policy
disagreements is to be expected, but those on this list are not consistent with
mere policy disagreements in which both parties seek the strengthening of the
American Republic or American ideals. Each of these reeks of an innate distaste
for individual rights, private property, free markets, and government as a
constitutionally-limited servant of the people.
