WHERE DO YOU START?
#I chose that opening line rather than "what's the use." Election day is tomorrow, so there's definitely a chance here to prevent perhaps irreparable harm to our Republic ... maybe not a huge chance ... but a chance. Never in the last 100 years has someone so completely inexperienced and so far to the left been so close to becoming our president. It is beyond imagination that we've come to this.
I really don't have the time before I go on the air to craft (if that's the word) a lengthy narrative on this campaign and the importance of our vote tomorrow ... so we go with bullet points. They don't necessarily flow together all that well ... but each gets a point across that is, I think, important.
Who knows ... maybe someone will read some of these points and tell themselves that they just can't pull the trigger for this dangerous leftist when they get into the voting booth. Others will read this and just have their feelings about how much trouble freedom and economic liberty in this country are in totally reinforced.
One question about Obama that has never been satisfactorily answered is "What has he ever accomplished?" The best his supporters can come up with is "He was elected to the U.S. Senate." So was John McCain ... several times. Besides, take a look at his election. He had two opponents self-destruct with scandal. The GOP had to go to Maryland and talk Alan Keyes into moving to Illinois to run against Obama. Trust me, that win was no sterling accomplishment.
Don't argue with me here. You'll lose. There is NO constitutional right to vote in a presidential election. We're going to learn in a few days just how smart our founding fathers were in this regard.
Obama is a product of the Chicago political machine. Several times during his political career Obama had a chance to either cast a vote or make a statement against the corruption that permeates Chicago's machine. Never – not on one occasion – did he do so.
The fact is, Obama has benefited from corruption (Tony Rezko?) but has never fought it.
Do you know how Obama won his first election in Illinois? He had campaign operatives go to the voting office and work hundreds of hours pouring over petitions to have his opponents thrown off the ballot. I guess that means that this is the first real election battle he's ever been in!
I guess it's just me, but all this time I thought that the government used its power to seize property ... i.e., to tax ... in order to fund the necessary and appropriate functions of government. Now, under Obama, we've learned that one of the appropriate functions of government is to take from those who have and give to those who have not. I prefer a different phraseology: Take from those who achieve, and give to those who achieve not. Karl Marx was of a like mind.
Obama's "spread the wealth around" mantra means that he believes that we do not leave our homes every morning to work for ourselves and our families. We leave our homes to work for the government. We belong to government, not to ourselves. The government will determine how much of the money we earn we deserve to keep .. the rest goes to people the government believes to be even more deserving of the fruits of our labors.
Obama's candidacy would have faltered before an educated electorate. Why do you think Democrats love government schools so much? Do you want examples? I've got examples.
Obama says he's going to give tax cuts to 95% of Americans. Americans don't realize that over 40% of their numbers don't pay income taxes; and since they don't realize that, they aren't asking themselves how Obama can give a tax cut to someone who doesn't pay taxes.
Obama has effectively change the definition of "tax cut." From now on any government handout to any worker is a tax cut. Changing this definition may well be one of their greatest accomplishments in this election and that new definition will cause us problems for decades. Obama constantly rants about those dirty corporations who shipped "our jobs overseas." An educated voter knows that those jobs belong to the employers, not the employees. Workers look for jobs. Employers with jobs look for workers. Pretty simple, really. Obama also tells us that 95% of small businesses out there will not have their taxes increased. The only reason this line works is because our government educated voters cannot grasp the idea that it isn't the percentage of small businesses hit with tax increases that counts; it's the percentage of small business employees represented by the unfortunate 5% that counts. Tomorrow thousands of workers – perhaps tens of thousands of workers – employed by what we call "small businesses" will cast a vote that, a year or so down the road, will cost them their jobs.
Over the weekend Obama promised to bankrupt the coal industry if they tried to build any more coal-fired power plants. Can any of you think of a time when any president has ever made an overt threat to bankrupt a large American industry?
Obama says that his "cap and trade" policy for controlling greenhouse gas emissions is going to cost electricity prices to "skyrocket." Oops ... there goes some of that middle class "tax cut." Guess he'll have to transfer some more wealth to help his constituents pay the increased price.
There are literally millions of Obama supporters out there who think that once Obama becomes the president their lives are going to become sweetness, roses and light.
Remember Obama's 30-minute infomercial? If a foreigner with no knowledge of our country or our people were to see that program they would think that America was a country mired in abject misery and depravation. Thanks, Obama, for the nice positive message.
How long after the election, whether Obama wins or loses, do you think it will take for that America-hater Jeremiah Wright to surface?
The top 10% of income earners in this country pay over 70% of all income taxes. The top 1% of income earners earn around 19% of all income, but they pay almost 39% of all income taxes. When these people don't want to give up a larger share of their earnings Obama call's them "selfish."
When someone is content to sit on their butts and wait for Obama to transfer some wealth from someone else to their pockets they are not "selfish."
Every one of the points I am bringing up here is "hate speech" to an Obamacon.
The great Democrat goal is to have more than 50% of the voters living, at least in part, on the efforts of the minority of voters. When we pass that tipping point ... and we're nearly there ... game over.
In every election since 1952 Democrats have told the voters "vote for the Republicans and they'll take your Social Security away."
In every election after 2008 the Democrats will say "Vote for the Republicans and they're going to make you pay taxes."
Then if Obama wins again, in every election after 2012 Democrats will say "Vote for the Republicans and they'll make you pay for your own Social Security and Medicare."
How long before we hear: "Vote for the Republicans and they'll make you work for a living!"
Obama will definitely destroy your right to be armed outside of your own home for your own protection. The question is whether we count the time until he accomplishes this in days, weeks, months or years.
Do you see now why politicians, especially Democrats, aren't fond of the FairTax? Without playing his tax scam and wealth envy card Obama would have been toast by Super Tuesday.
Surveys in Israel show that 76% of Israeli citizens want McCain to win. American Jews will vote for Obama by pretty much the same percentage. What do Jews in Israel know that Jews in America do not?
Peter Nicholas is a reporter for the Los Angeles Times. He has been traveling with Obama for almost the entire campaign. Nicholas writes "After all this time with him, I still can't say with certainty who he is." Nicholas doesn't know him, but so many voters are so sure they do.
Obama wants a national civilian security force that, in his words, is "just as strong as our military." Who would they serve under? What would their mandate be? Would they be unionized? (oh HELL yes!). Would this be like the Soviet Union under Communism where neighbors ratted on neighbors for anti-government statements? And what does he mean "as strong as our military?" Would this national civilian security force have nukes? Tanks? Fighter planes? Are we just talking about a glorified national police? (Show us your papers!)
Obama has talked about reducing spending on our military. One leading Democrat Senator has suggested a 25% spending cut on defense. Do you feel comfortable with that? You do know that all of the savings would be spent on buying votes, don't you?
Do you home school your children? Obama has called home schooling a fraud. Put him in office and you'll be putting your kids back in government schools for their indoctrination.
Do you run a small business? If Obama wins start planning immediately to lower your work force. The best way to do this would be through efficiency measures and temporary staffing agencies. Not only is Obama going to make it easier for your workers to unionize ... he's going to expand onerous measures such as the Family Leave Act. You will end up paying your employees a good portion of their salary to lay out for weeks on end.
Maybe you shop at Wal-Mart. Get ready for higher prices. Obama's instant unionization bill will surely result in the unionization of Wal-Mart's workforce. In fact, as much as Democrat politicians hate Wal-Mart, it's safe to say that Wal-Mart is target number one. The result? Higher prices for you.
If Obama can call a government handout a tax cut, we can call higher prices a tax increase. This will be Obama's tax increase on the poor and the middle class.
OK ... run with those. We'll come up with more.
Obama looks more dangerous every day. I'm beginning to believe that those who will vote third party just to make a point at as looney as those who are actually voting for Obama.
About half the country is too stupid to breathe unassisted let alone vote!
Tomorrow is red shirt day. Pass it on.
I think we may have people becoming accustomed to no consequences no matter what they do.
It’s the idea of ‘let’s try socialism. Why not? If it doesn’t work we’ll try something else that’s fun’.
Because people have never seen really reallyt bad consequences of anything they do.
The don’t recognize it as socialism. Obama keeps denying it is socialism because he knows he cannot win by being honest.
I just don’t understand it! How can any American in their right mind even think about voting for this man? One of my good friends/co-workers voted early for him, she’s a very intelligent person, and I really like her. I just can’t wrap my brain around it, though.
I work part time doing the books for an HVAC guy who employs 4 people. He complains about taxes, yet he’s an Obama supporter. He’s convinced that if Obama wins tomorrow, he’ll never make it to his inauguration because he’ll be assassinated. (I guess he thinks Republicans are so evil that they would do such a thing.)
Why are liberals like this? I need to find myself another job!
I like that he uses the word EARNERS instead of the word “workers” which I have seen being used more and more lately. We should insist on “earners” or “employees” and not “workers”.
I don't think this is anywhere nearly as harmless as another presidential election that might be won by a black man for the first time in our nation's history. I think it's the spearhead of people who have found a useful idiot in Obama that can convince enough Americans to vote for him and then seize power from him as time goes on. I don't think the people who are making all that Obama is accomplishing possible care one bit about him, or black America. They have seen a way to gain power under false pretenses and once he's elected and in office he will see no one listens to him and the machinery will be in place to make it a long, long time before we see the government we have today.
Make no mistake, tomorrow is the fulmination of a lot of plans and a lot of behind-the-scenes skulduggery and it's on the end of phase one. Phase two and beyond have long been planned.
I think we can get by by the skin of our teeth, this time. I don't know about next time.
The first thing we have got to set about doing is wresting control of the public school system and unions that have put us in this position. We've got to insist that schools go back to teaching, in clear terms, how the US differs from the rest of the world, particularly socialism.
Obama is a puppet, pure and simple. They'll cut his strings and take over sure as hell.
Obama has made a deal with the devil. He doesn't know it yet, but that what it amounts to.
Maybe the employees will get lucky and it will just affect pay raises and bonuses. That's how business works.
There's a reason all socialist countries exist in a state of near-misery.
Good post! IMO Obama is a sock-puppet for Communists and the likes of $oro$...
I think it is important to consider the logical extension effect, of an Obama Presidency, on the social, political and economic structure of this country. The left/Democrats/Marxists will have control of nearly all major US institutions. These intuitions include the Presidency, The Congress, The Supreme Court, the Mainstream Media, Hollywood, primary and secondary education (via the NEA), colleges and universities, unions, governmental bureaucracy (such as FBI, CIA, Justice Department and State Department and which do not change regardless of the party controlling the Presidency and/or Congress). The individuals in these institutions’ constant and overriding goal is to keep their jobs and increase their salary and benefits without having to put forth any additional effort. They are subject to little accountably and they have little incentive to do their job description job well.
These institutions will silence the few critics that exist such as conservative talk radio and conservative internet sites with the so called “Fairness Doctrine”. They can gain total control of the military and local police by controlling top supervisory positions and using the trickledown effect. They will gain total control of the Medical industry through government health care. Obama has proposed a Federal Civilian Police Force (can you say Brown Shirts) to bring any malcontents into line. He has previously shown that he will not let the “Pesky” Constitution get in his way. With little effective opposition possible, the prospects of rescuing the economy let alone the structure of society and political discourse.
His election will mean a serious reduction in the amount of capital available to grow our economy by people who understand free market economy dynamics. The left is already planning taking over 401(k)s, rolling it into the Social Security Empty Lock Box and then spending to insure their power. This will be done under the guise of protecting the proletariat from downturns in the Stock Market as has currently taken place. They want to roll this together with SS and give you a healthy 3% on your investment, while they rob you blind. The 401(K) plan will take massive amounts of investment capitol out of the markets and devastate them. Our economy will accordingly get so bad that the only way for anybody to survive is to have the government take care of all of us.
Value, within the context of an economy, is created by individuals or businesses acting in a way to “add value”. Adding Value is what Capitalism does and Marxism specifically designed not to do. Obama and a Democrat congress policy will result in a significant reduction in incentive to add value or even to try to add value. Workers (union workers more so) generally do not understand and/or care about adding value and many are not willing to make significant effort to improve their economic condition. Giving them money from the government (actually from other citizens after losing value of the 60% government overhead) without any effort or obligation on their part will decrease their incentive to work at all. Many European countries economic structures and the resulting negative effect on work ethic are a testament to such decreased incentive. With the US having the second highest marginal income tax rate in the world, and even higher taxes promised, investors will have less incentive to invest in this country. The net effect will be a downward spiral in the US economy to a bottom that is unfathomable to us. Since the US economy is what ultimately sustains most of the other economies of the world, such serious permanent damage to the US economy will accordingly affect other economies of the world. I know this sounds like insane gloom and doom. When you consider that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are now located in the middle of the road of the American Left, wait until the real radicals flex their muscles. There is a reasonable probability that some, if not all of these consequences will occur as a result of an Obama Presidency. If McCain wins, he is so stupid that he will probably be talked into some of this anyway. At least we would have time to organize and fight for “Original Intent”American values with “Original Intent”political and economic structure. Good luck to us true citizens of the United States of America.
Having owned a small internet based business for about five years I am surprised that this country has survived for 200+ years.
One lady bought an ultrasonic dog chaser. She sent it back, stating that it didn't work because she couldn't hear it.
This is just one of many stupid things I had to deal with on a daily basis.
Well, we finally lost World War II — the Nazis won.
