Obama Vs. America

“I know these steps won’t sit well with the special interests and lobbyists who are invested in the old way of doing business, and I know they’re gearing up for a fight as we speak,” Obama said in his weekly radio address. You’re damn right we are gearing up for a fight. I am not ready to surrender the greatest nation in the history of the world to a tin horn tyrant who never outgrew his adolescent communist stage. “The old way of doing business” as Obama puts it, is the American way and it has lead to more prosperity than any other “way” and provided more opportunity and economic freedom than the world has ever seen. That “old way” of limited government and free enterprise, however, is an impediment to Obama’s aggressive socialist agenda, and so he declares that he is going to fight us. Obama is fine with burning the bridge of prosperity behind him because he has his wealth, but he didn’t earn it the “old way”-- he got his the easy way, by trading favors from his public office for private ones and using his elected office to sell books about himself. If he had gotten it the hard way, like many of the people he plans to take from, he would have too much respect for their work ethic to take from them their resources to buy votes that increase his power and his lot.

Mr. Obama, why don’t you take your “new way” over to some of the former Soviet Republics, who in the 1990s broke free from the chains of tyranny, and see if you can talk them into trading their new economic freedom for your promises of government sponsored security. You wouldn’t get very far because they have been down that road before.

Obama has fired a shot at those of us who oppose his onerous socialistic policies by characterizing our dissent as preparing for battle and warns us, “My message to them is this: So am I.”

My message to Obama is this -- Mr. President, why don’t you stand up to those who hate America instead of declaring war on those of us who love it?
