PROVOCATION

Travesty in Leadership at the Top!
By Morris Clopton

Never before, in the history of our Republic has so few destroyed so much. Today we face the destruction of our beloved Republic by the very ones supposedly elected to protect it. Barrack Obama and the Democratic left are hell bent on raping and pillaging this country damming us to life under a socialist/Marxist dictatorship headed by the leftist of today.

Barrack Obama spreads his spread the wealth propaganda and the uneducated, unintelligent are swallowing the Kool-Aid. When the fact is that, the wealthiest one percent already pays fifteen percent of all taxes paid. Thirty seven percent of the population pays seventy five percent of all taxes paid. Forty eight percent of the population pays zero federal income tax. Barrack Obama purports to tax the rich to reduce the deficit, knowing this will only raise about five billion in additional taxes. If each federal agency reduced, their budget by only one percent the government would raise thirty plus billion and really reduce the deficit.

Please become informed, contact your representative, and your senators. Demand that they act in the behalf of “we the people” not the established government.

The most astute appraisal of  Barack Obama that I’ve seen.

One of Bob Oster’s CEO friends wrote this. Bob respects him highly. (For those on this list who don’t know Bob: he was CFO of Oracle when it went public, also CFO of Syntex, and holds a Ph.D. In economics from Berkeley. Since 1987, he has been an angel investor and private VC. He is on the Board of Overseers at the Hoover Institution.)

My 6 Month Evaluation of the Obama Presidency
In November 2008 I wrote out my evaluation of the Obama candidacy and what it might mean to America.  I filed this away, but sent it to family members and a few close friends and associates just so I’d be accountable for my real time observations.  It’s now been 6 months since Obama’s inauguration.  (In the business world, this is typically when a first job review would occur; so, I made a note to myself to revisit his performance on the 6-month anniversary.)  Thus, I now commit to filing my mid-year evaluation of our new President.  As well, I’ve put in the file (but not forwarded to anyone) a separate “background check” — the one the press should’ve done on the Obama candidacy prior to presenting him to the American public — in case this is ever of relevance as things unfold.

As concerned as I was by Obama’s candidacy when I wrote out my November pre-election reservations, truth be known, I didn’t much like McCain/Palin either.  At the time, I still had hopes that Obama might “govern from the center.”  Six months into it, however, I can say that he’s been considerably worse than my worst fears.  Thus, I’m updating my evaluation — this time with the fervent hope that by the year-end I can be genuinely more optimistic.

I’ve concluded that not only was Barack Obama too inexperienced to be President, but he also appears to be incompetent as an executive, more-than-just-politician-level-dishonest and a bit of a narcissist (if not a fascist).  He seems to have little understanding of American history, her dreams, or her tremendous potential for risk-taking, self-correction and innovation.  He and Michelle have turned out to be quintessential Ivy League “Oppression Studies majors” with (carefully concealed) “attitudes.”  Obama seems, above all, to be a Community Organizer with shakedown credentials and extraordinary speaking ability.  All of this should have been clear — had we simply done serious background checks.  (The following 4 items, at least, should have been clear to voters:  1. His surrogate father figure was Frank Marshall Davis, an avowed Communist.   2. Barack served as a committed trainer for Community Activist and Marxist Saul Alinsky.   3.  He sat for nearly 2 decades at the feet of Jeremiah Wright, an angry, anti-American “Black Liberation Theologist”.  4.  His first autobiography, Dreams from My Father, was almost certainly ghost-written by William Ayers, a Vietnam-era domestic terrorist.  [This last assertion has now been supported by careful analysis of syntax, spelling and common errors].)  If these unusual threads (standing alone) are discounted to the point of not being disqualifiers, those evaluating Barack Obama might have considered that he’d never I) held a job in the private sector, ii) managed a payroll, iii) led a turnaround or iv) held any sort of executive position.  But, none of this mattered in the fall of 2008.  After 6 months, I’m left wondering if power brokers on the Far Left of American politics aren’t pinching themselves at their success in creating a fictitious character the press ushered to market in a Bush-weary and “politically correct” America.  In his second (!) autobiography, The Audacity of Hope, Obama recognizes the advantage of his tabula rasa “creation” when he writes, “I serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.”

And, project we did!  Thus, the former Barry Soetoro of Honolulu, Jakarta, Mombasa, Occidental, Columbia, Harvard and the mean streets of Chicago moved at light speed from being the first-term senator nobody had ever heard of to President of the United States.  In the process, despite numerous efforts, no one has yet seen his birth certificate, his college transcripts, his application to Occidental (likely as a “foreign student”?), or the passport he used to travel in 1981 to Pakistan with buddy Wahid Hamid (likely an Indonesian one?).  For some reason, the Obama campaign has, so far, spent $3/4 million keeping these records out of public view.  So, it’s easy to wonder — if they supported Obama’s putative CV — why not make them available and put to rest all suspicions about provenance, training and politics?

My growing hunch is that there’s virtually no paper trail because the Obama biography has been created largely out of whole cloth. There — I’ve said what increasing numbers of people must be thinking, but are afraid to voice.  But, whether or not Obama is more than a cleverly-marketed fiction, and whatever one thinks of his history, one thing isclear.  He finally does have a record to evaluate.  And, it’s not a confidence-inspiring one from my standpoint.

At best, Obama is an attractive symbol for America and a compelling communicator; but he’s

1.   Not an executive. He’s shown an utter inability to focus, to set priorities and to consider 2nd and 3rd order or long-term consequences to his actions.  Lack of focus on priorities is fatal as a CEO; (but, maybe less so for a political leader?)

2.   Not a steward or fiduciary for America. Obama clearly does not see his primary job as one of overseeing the security and well-being of America during his tenure as its chief executive.  He’s not only unwilling to stand up for America, but he also regularly seems to go out of his way to apologize for her history.  This makes it apparent that he believes his most important job is to change America into what he and Michelle think it should have been had we not suffered the Founders’ flawed vision.
At worst, Obama’s aims seem truly radical (if stealth); his methods pure Alinsky; and his success derivative of obfuscating the truth, creating crises, and rushing changes into law that no one can possibly absorb under artificial deadlines — all aimed at limiting private property rights, changing the Constitution and forever altering our free market system?

For those who consider Obama’s training and background irrelevant, they can now evaluate him as a Commander-in-Chief and CEO from what he’s done over his first 6 months.

Among many other things, these evidences have come in the form of:

1.   A $787B “stimulus”  package (sold as preventing a “crisis from  becoming catastrophe”)

2.   The failure to focus on addressing the banking crisis as “Job  One”

3.   The migration of TARP  funds to non-banking concerns, viz., auto  industry

4.   Announcing tax  increases in the middle of a  recession

5.   Failure to identify projects to fund job  creation (Thus, <10% of stimulus yet  spent)

6.   Announcing that there would be “no pork” or “earmarks” in the “stimulus” package in order  to get it passed without review when there were nearly 10,000 buried in the  unread bill (including a $9B high-speed rail line to Las Vegas for Harry  Reid)

7.   Bailouts of the banking and auto  industries

8.   The appointment of a 31-year-old to manage the recreation of the  auto companies

9.   The exalting of union claims above those of bondholders (violating a 200+ year history of  contract law/property rights)

10.   The appointment of 34 unvetted  “czars” — creating more than in the House of Romanov between 1762 and 1917!

11.   The failure to appoint a Cabinet of tax-paying, competent Americans (reason for the move to the Czar system of administration?)

12.   The appointment of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court despite an  apparent lack of qualifications and judicial temperament,

13.   The dark-of-night passage of “Cap and Trade” legislation  (300-page-long addendum inserted at 3AM the morning of the vote in the  House)

14.   The high pressure tactics to rush through a budget-busting $1.6T takeover of healthcare.

15.   Phony “townhall” meetings with a fake cross-section of Americans selling Obamacare on ABC.

16.   “Lying” about budget deficits — projecting 4% GDP growth by year-end.

17.    “Lying” about job  losses — projecting that if Congress would  just ram through the “stimulus” that job losses could be halted at 8%  (currently on their way to 10% and rising).

18.    “Lying” about the costs of nationalized healthcare – (just  as when politicians projected Medicare’s cost in 1990 to be $3 billion, its  actual cost turned out in 1990 to $98 billion — 30 times as  much)

19.    Pretending that new entitlement programs will  provide lower costs, better care, no significant tax increases, more  competition (as government joins the fray!?) and keeping current private  options.  Claiming “free” healthcare will make America more competitive is baffling.   Everyone knows the above are lies; but no one seems ready to call them out.

20.    Forcing the “stimulus” package on states to impinge  on “States  Rights”

21.    Failing to support the freedom-loving citizens in Honduras and Iran (and instead, giving comfort to their dictators) to say nothing of his ineffectiveness with North Korea and anti-Israeli pronouncements.

22.    Allocating $4B of “stimulus” funds to ACORN, the voter fraud thugs.

23.    Seeking to push through Union Card Check, the so-called “Fairness Doctrine,” and threats to take away 2nd amendment rights (see Eric Holder), etc.

24.    Moving the heretofore non-partisan census into the Whitehouse under the direction of Rahm Emanuel.
Whatever one thinks of the results, the process of getting to them should bother all Americans.  In the Obama (Mayor Daley?) style of governing, it’s not clear that Congress — who can’t possibly process thoughtfully the blizzard of legislation — really serves any useful purpose other than to provide Politburo-style cover.  Not only does Congress no longer debate legislation, but Obama has effectively circumvented its oversight of the executive branch by his appointment of czars.

In contrast to the direction Obama is taking us all, the Economist recently pointed out that 53% of all of the jobs created in the U.S. were created in one state last year: Texas (the most free market of all State economies and the “last best hope” [ha!] for secession?). Meanwhile, in California, — as a perfect preview to “Obama’s America” — job losses are already well into double digits, the state faces a $25B budget deficit and is closing down services and considering bankruptcy.  I cannot predict what will happen to Obama’s popularity, as people wake up to the size and intractability of the deficits he’s promoting, the unavailability of credit for small businesses, or the increased tax rates on energy and payrolls provoking a continuing loss of jobs as small businesses shed employees due to skyrocketing costs.

But, is bad economic news bad for Obama?  Sadly, the answer, if one studies the Alinsky formula for bloodless revolution, is “Heck no!”  Indeed, high unemployment is necessary for the Obama Redistribution Plan. According to Alinsky, only with high unemployment will people look to the government for help (and then become dependent), allowing government to gain control over the factors of productions.  If one considers that the Alinsky manual might be Obama’s “playbook,” one can’t help but want to evaluate how closely it’s being followed.

Thus, in evaluating Obama’s performance, it’s probably worth noting (for the 6-month record) the key elements of the Alinsky formula.  Written in 1971 by Chicago Organizer, Saul Alinsky, under the title of Rules for Radicals, this manual for effective change became Young Barack Obama’s “bible.”  David Alinsky, son the author said of our new President: “Barack Obama patterned himself after the Saul Alinsky model in everything he has done since arriving in South Chicago.”

Alinsky clearly stated its purpose: “Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution.”

Note how closely Obama is following the rules for internal revolution, based on Alinsky’s specific instructions:

1.   Pursue an “Ideology of Change” (Alinsky’s  phrase for the most effective way to market revolution)

2.   Target the banks that serve the steel, auto, and other industries.

3.   Start class warfare — Fuel the anger of what Alinsky calls the “Have-Nots,” and the “Have-some-but-want-mores” against the “Haves.”

4.   Use crises to create fear.

5.   Use pollution as a foil to grab power.

6.   Set up “jobs programs” to make workers dependent on government.

7.   Show supreme self-confidence.

8.   Make communication skills your key weapon.

9.   Use simple catch  phrases and vague  slogans (‘Of the Common Welfare, [Nazi  takeover of Germany],  ‘Bread and Peace,’ [Bolshevik Revolution])   In this context, it’s not hard to imagine that Change & The  Audacity of Hope will one day be seen as the battle cry for the Obama  revolution.

10.  Use deception –“…in war the end justifies almost any means.”

11.  Remain calm, appealing, and likeable while inciting fear, conflict, and defeat.
As these steps are being pursued, the press continues to refer to “the Republican recession,” so Obama’s popularity remains high.  Any who saw tapes of President Bush warning Congress (on two separate occasions) that the market was headed for disaster unless it instituted the very reforms Barney Frank and Chris Dodd pooh-poohed, may be surprised to see the level of “cover” the press is providing this revolution.

As bleak as things look for free markets, I have hope.  Why?  Just as Bernie Madoff learned that ponzi schemes eventually come to light — Barack Obama may soon learn that you “can’t fool all of the people all of the time.”  It’s unclear to me how much and how long America will have to pay for its experiment with Obamunism — his fantasy “green jobs,” his new taxes, his junk science, his czars, his meddling in the auto and banking industries, his sure-to-be-disastrous Obamacare and the encouragement he’s giving to union bosses, dictators and tyrants the globe over, to say nothing of his “Peace-through-Weakness” foreign policy.  But, at some point, reality will take over, as it always does.  I just hope America will have its Winston Churchill or Ronald Reagan ready to step into the breach when the time comes.

So far, the nervousness of Blue Dog Democrats and their ability to resist some of the wackier directives has been the only thing that has kept Obama from an outright failing grade, in my view.  Perhaps, just as the Gingrich Congress rescued Bill Clinton, it may be these so-called Blue Dogs that rescue Obama.  If not, it may be important for the survival of the union for government to be forever split between the parties

A profound read for all my intellectual friends! Take the time to read and absorb this fearsome message.

I am a student of history. Professionally, I have written 15 books in six languages, and have studied history all my life. I think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do not believe it is just a banking crisis, or a mortgage crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes, these exist but they are merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only now coming into a sharper focus.

Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like, and how people react to it.. Yes, a perfect storm may be brewing, but there is something happening within our country that has been evolving for about 10 – 15 years. The pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.

We demanded and then codified into law the requirement that our banks make massive loans to people whom we knew could never pay back? Why? We learned recently that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no real oversight by anyone, has “loaned” two trillion dollars (that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but will not tell us to whom or why or disclose the terms. That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times the $700B we all argued about so strenuously just this past September.

Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who authorized it? I thought this was a government of “We the People,” who loaned our powers to our elected leaders.. Apparently not.

We have spent two or more decades intentionally de-industrializing our economy. Why?

We have intentionally dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and no longer teach our founding documents, why we are exceptional, and why we are worth preserving. Students by and large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate. Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, school boards continue to back mediocrity.. Why?

We have now established the precedent of protesting every close election (now violently in California over a proposition that is so controversial that it wants marriage to remain between one man and one woman. Did you ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago?). We have corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected judges to write laws that radically change our way of life, and then mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To what purpose?

Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking system is on the verge of collapse, Social Security is nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government. Our education system is worse than a joke (I teach college and know precisely what I am talking about.) The list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth. It is potentially 1929 x 10. And we are at war with an enemy we cannot name for fear of offending people of the same religion who cannot wait to slit the throats of your children if they have the opportunity to do so.

And now we have elected a man no one knows anything about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska . All of his associations and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by drip, is unsettling if not downright scary (Surely you have heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a mandatory civilian defense force stronger than our military for use inside our borders? No? Oh, of course. The media would never play that for you over and over and then demand he answer it. Sarah Palin’s pregnant daughter and $150,000 wardrobe is more important.)

Mr. Obama’s winning platform can be boiled down to one word: Change…radical change Why?

I have never been so afraid for my country and for my children as I am now. This man campaigned on bringing people together, something he has never, ever done in his professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to realign the pieces into a new and different power structure. Change is indeed coming And when it comes, you will never see the same nation again.

And that is only the beginning.

I thought I would never be able to experience what the ordinary, moral German felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the savior was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they did know was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed; he edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory and promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his “brown shirts” would bully them into submission.

And then he was duly elected to office, with a full-throttled economic crisis at hand [the Great Depression]. Slowly but surely he seized the controls of government power, department by department, person by person, bureaucracy by bureaucracy. The kids joined a Youth Movement in his name, where they were taught what to think. How did he get the people on his side? He did it promising jobs to the jobless, money to the moneyless, and goodies for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in the country, across Europe , and across the world.

He did it with a compliant media – Did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and…change. And the people surely got what they voted for. (Look it up if you think I am exaggerating.) Read your history books. Many people objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and made fun of. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though.

Don’t forget that Germany was the most educated, cultured country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And in less than six years – a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S.. presidency – it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to Hell is paved with them.

As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong, close my eyes, have another latte and ignore what is transpiring around me.

Some people scoff at me; others laugh or think I am foolish, naive, or both. Perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe – and why I believe it. I pray I am wrong. But, I do not think I am.

Since many of you enjoy senior citizen status or will sometime in the not too distant future, I thought you might be interested in this information.

IN GOD WE TRUST

Everybody that is on this mailing list is either a senior citizen, is getting close, or knows somebody that is

Most of you know by now that the Senate version (at least) of the “stimulus” bill includes provisions for extensive rationing of health care for senior citizens. The author of this part of the bill, former senator and tax evader, Tom Daschle, was credited today by Bloomberg with the following statement.

Bloomberg: “Daschle says health-care reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them.”

If this does not sufficiently raise your ire, just remember that Senators and Congressmen have their own healthcare plan that is first dollar or very low co-pay which they are guaranteed the remainder of their lives and are not subject to this new law if it passes.

Please use the power of the Internet to get this message out. Talk it up at the grassroots level.. We have an election coming up in one year and nine months. We have the ability to address and reverse the dangerous direction the Obama administration and its allies have begun and in the interim, we can make our voices heard! Let’s do it!

If you disagree, don’t do anything.

Have you abdicated your conservative values?
By Morris L. Clopton, 5 May 2009

 Have you abdicated your conservative values?  Do you kneel at the foot of the throne of liberalism?

 Do really want the United States government in control of our automobile industry?  Have you considered what it means to have the President of the United States as the chief car salesperson instead of the Commander and Chief of our military forces? President Obama stated directly that he is “going to cut Wall Street in half”.  That is ridiculous when our free enterprise system used its wealth and power to elect President Obama. It is extremely important that you recall your history and demand that capitalism continue to abound in the United States.

 Your conservative values are under assault when the government passes laws describing your fundamental beliefs as hate crimes.  The law will make it unlawful for your pastor to preach truths from the bible concerning specific sins.  You must stand up for what you believe and act as one of “we the people”.  Write, telephone, fax, or email your local, state, and US congressional representative and senators tell them what you stand for and demand that each one of them represent your views with their vote.  A smarter man than me made the following statement:
“To reach a port we must sail, sometimes
with the wind, and sometimes against it.
But we must not drift or lie at anchor.”

Do not set at anchor, it is imperative that conservative individuals act on their beliefs.  The value system established upon truth, honest, integrity, individual rights, state rights, are ours only as long as we demand them.  We allow extreme liberalism to seep into our mindset seductively and covertly through absolute untruths and assaults against our constitutional rights.  The media is determined to undermine every facet of our fundamental conservative beliefs by supporting government control of each minute of our lives.

To stand up for conservative values opens you up to labels as a “terrorist, uneducated redneck, and militiaman.  The reality however is that conservative values encourage more education, taking a stand on upholding the Constitution of the United States, and the Declaration of Independence with a fierce independence of will.

 

Take note of what one of our greatest presidents had to say about separation of powers in government.
The End of Federalism

Addressing Congress on the State of the Union, President Ronald Reagan told the American people in 1982:

“Our citizens feel they’ve lost control of even the most basic decisions made about the essential services of government, such as schools, welfare, roads, and even garbage collection. And they’re right. A maze of interlocking jurisdictions and levels of government confronts average citizens in trying to solve even the simplest of problems. They don’t know where to turn for answers, who to hold accountable, who to praise, who to blame, who to vote for or against. The main reason for this is the overpowering growth of Federal grants-in-aid programs during the past few decades.”

 

The costs of the loss of federalism to the American people are real. As Reagan outlined above, federal aid to states blurs the lines of government accountability, making it easy for politicians to sneak in government-growing legislation and hard for voters to hold those politicians accountable. Moreover, as states become more dependent on federal funding, they begin to lose their ability to set priorities and make policy decisions that are best-suited to their specific needs. Finally, sending money to Washington, only so that it can later come back to the states, creates a fiscal detour of inefficiency and inequity.first inaugural address: “All of us need to be reminded that the Federal Government did not create the States; the States created the Federal Government.”

A Leviathan-sized federal government able to dictate state policies through power of the purse is not what the Founders had in mind. As Reagan said in his

Look at what our present government is doing in economic intervention:
Commenting on the White House’s Chicago-style negotiations with Chrysler’s creditors, The Atlantic’s Megan McArdle writes:

[W]hen did it become the government’s job to intervene in the bankruptcy process to move junior creditors who belong to favored political constituencies to the front of the line? … these people lent money under a given set of rules, and now the government wants to intervene in our extremely well-functioning (and generous) bankruptcy regime solely in order to save a favored Democratic interest group.

President Obama has a cabinet made up of Who’s Who in the realm of questionable honesty and integrity. Individuals who have made a mockery of conservative values and seek to disavow any rights you may have as a citizen of the United States under the Constitution.  This is just the appointed cabinet members.  President Obama’s kitchen cabinet is an elite group of individuals consisting of Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Christopher Dodd, Barney Frank, Charlie Rangel, and Franklin D. Raines.  These individuals are on record as stating their goals to destroy conservatives.
Do not abdicate your conservative values!

 

 

 

Cowards vs. Realities

By Morris Clopton, 3 March 2009

 

A depiction of America as a country of cowards by our distinguished Attorney General, Eric Holder leaves much to be desired.  Mr. Holder would have us believe that he and President Obama have a real grasp of America and the thoughts and opinions of the populous.  However I challenge both Mr. Holder and President Obama to read not rewrite the fantastic history of this great nation.

 

It is my belief that both Mr. Holder and President Obama choose to ignore facts not because they are not aware of those facts but because they do not fit the misrepresentations of the American people that they choose to present.  We are the greatest nation on the face of the earth because of our founding fathers and their belief in God and the principles set for in the bible.  Why doesn’t Mr. Holder and President Obama praise the efforts of this nation which have enabled black Americans to become, CEO’s, President’s, Generals, Inventors, Poets, Writers, Actors, Actresses, Teachers, Ministers, Pastors, and probably many other positions of leadership or personal gain that I am not aware of.

 

I am sixty-six years old and have served my country via the military and the defense industry for over forty years. It has been my experience that any person regardless of his color, creed, or sexual orientation has the opportunity through self discipline and hard work can and will succeed in their chosen fields of endeavors. If they have no self discipline and live in a world of dependency on the government there is no self initiative to succeed rather just sit on their posterior with their hand out to Uncle Sam or local government for their sustenance.

 

Why does the president of the greatest nation in the world seek to destroy everything our forefathers have struggled and died for with his racial prejudices?  I challenge the reader of this article to look beyond the charisma and skin color of President Obama and delve into what he is really saying.  Ask yourself why you are called raciest if you challenge any black American about any policy of procedure that is destroying the marketplace in America.  The liberal democrats would have us accept that more taxation is better when in fact it is destroying our workforce, with major companies moving offshore because they can’t continue to operate in a socialist, tax ridden economy.  Capitalism has built America, an America the democrats want to destroy through more government control, more taxes, and more dependence on the government when in reality all we want is for government to get out of our lives and allow us to succeed with out intelligence and hard work.

 

To quote Stephen Covey “you and you alone are responsible for how you respond to any stimulus.”  Do not be lead astray by false promises and spending of your descendents future by your government.  Become informed, know what is going on and let your representative and senators know your thoughts on their actions.
