During this past July 4th weekend, Americans rightly celebrated American Exceptionalism and our hard-won freedom from European dominance. That’s why Barack Obama’s promise to “fundamentally transform America” into a country of Dependence Day and European-style socialism will fail.
Independence Day marks the founding of a nation uniquely based on liberty, limited government and rights derived from our Creator.
Obama’s vision of relegating free citizens to serf status under an all-powerful government is un-American at its core. He has sold this dangerous doctrine via prolific lies, distortions and class envy. But socialist economics always fails since it violates human nature. Obamanomics is no exception.
The proof is in the rotten pudding he’s served up consisting of a prolonged recession, high unemployment, staggering debt and an incoherent foreign policy. His own party in the Senate has not even produced a budget vote for more than two years. The $1 trillion stimulus has failed, and Obama wants to increase taxes to expand government even more.
Surveys show that people are not buying it, and Obama’s response has been to try to distract from this sorry record by deploying socialism’s pet, the green dragon of envy.
His latest venture into class warfare was this gem from his June 29 press conference:
“If we do not have revenues, that means there are a bunch of kids out there who do not have college scholarships. [It] might compromise the National Weather Services. It means we might not be funding critical medical research. It means food inspection might be compromised. I've said to Republican leaders, 'You go talk to your constituents and ask them, “Are you willing to compromise your kids' safety so some corporate-jet owner can get a tax break?”’”
Obama smacked around corporate-jet owners three more times in a performance that would have made Hugo Chavez or Fidel Castro envious. It’s a wonder he didn’t go after anyone who puts Grey Poupon on their hot dogs. Where are the guillotines when you need them?
Does anyone seriously think that dunning corporate jet owners will make a dent in our $14.3 trillion national debt?
But abetted by a media that’s a megaphone for Obama’s Marxist economics, this kind of socialist tripe plays well among left-wing-dominated unions and people dependent on working people’s dollars seized by our confiscatory tax system.
The whole socialist scheme envisioned by Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer is immoral. It is not only u
