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.

If I wanted America to Fail



 I came across this video yesterday. It is absolutely brilliant and extremely well produced. It is a very common sense look at how to destroy wealth and prosperity by subverting the free market that has made this nation so great. It highlights some of the disastrous policies and misinformation that the left has used for the last 100 years.

If you get a chance you need to go to their website freemarketamerica.org. They have some other good videos there.

Buffett Rule


I haven't had a lot of opportunities to get on Blogger in the last month so I am just now publishing this cartoon. I made it before the Buffett rule was, thankfully, voted down but felt it necessary to still post it to illustrate how foolish it is to believe that more taxes will somehow help the deficit. At this point the deficit is so huge and spending is so out of control that no amount of taxation will fix the problem. The national debt is now larger than our Nation's GDP. In essence, if the government where to confiscate all the wealth of the US for one whole year, we still wouldn't be able to pay down the national debt. The last time the national debt was larger than the GDP was during WWII. One thing to note about that is the fact that FDR, arguably the most "regressive" president in our Nation's history until Barack Obama, was the president at the time.

The answer to the problem is not taxation, it is spending cuts. We need to start cutting programs and bureaucracies now, and in doing so, will create freedom and wealth for more people.
