Have Each Other's Back

Obama was on the campaign trail again. He was at Fort Stewart talking about "having each other's back." I found it quite funny considering the fact that obama had wanted to cut spending on military benefits, yet didn't propose any cuts on any public sector union benefits. I am sorry, but spending cuts on the military should be last in line. Especially cuts to the benefits of our veterans and our service men and women. They are risking their lives to protect us and have earned everything that they are given.

It is also funny that in his speech, part of which you can watch in the clip bellow, he talks about all the ways that we, as a society, have each other's back. What he is talking about is the civil society, something he seeks to replace with a government run society. For generations American's looked after one another through their communities, neighborhoods, and churches. This idea that government is the entity to look after people is a relatively new idea in America and has been slowly growing since the "regressive" movement began in the early twentieth century. What Obama is doing here is talking about things that all Americans can agree on, the civil society, but he then proceeds to slip in his true agenda. He moves from talking about individuals looking out for each other to using the government to look out for everyone. This is just another example, in a long string of examples, of the left using subversive rhetoric to appeal to Americans so they can institute their utopia, top-down government run tyranny.

I reference the last two minutes of the speech. From 8:00 on.
