Who Cares about Freedom?

I have said it before, the presidential election of 2012 is the most crucial election in more than a century.  This election will determine the future of America, the Constitution and your right to be...American!  Our nation and the civilized world is at a tipping point and what happens over the next several weeks could certainly change our lives in ways nobody living today, could ever imagine.  The election will not only be a choice of two men, but a referendum on the future of our freedom as Americans.  Before you vote, you must ask yourself, "Do I care about freedom?"

I have not updated the blog for a while because I am busy with work.  In Obama's America of 2012, fewer people are fortunate to keep their jobs.  Those who do are working longer and harder, for far less money, to keep their jobs.  Unlike too many people who spend their free time watching movies to dull the pain, I spend my little free time researching news and events to stay updated on the state of the world, the nation and the state.  The most common and frightening story I hear each day is how Obama is leading in the polls.  From this news, I can only conclude one or more of several possibilities:

• The polls are skewed or fixed.
• It is already too late and the government has created enough desperation  and dependence over the past four years to sway the majority of voters into feeling that Marxism or communism is a better way of life.
• The majority of voters are ignorant of the facts or simple do not care.
• The voting public is stupid, which ironically, is what the democrats believe.

Let's look at a few items as examples of why this President must be fired.

• Despite his promise to not raise taxes on the middle class, he has already increased taxes more than any President in modern history.  He calls them fees and penalties, but if it means government taking money out of your pocket, it is a tax, pure and simple!  
• The CBO has stated publicly that the Obamacare plan, set to take full effect in 2014 will not work as Obama has stated (lied) several times.  Obama knows this.  For the plan to work, their are estimates ranging from $2,000 - $4,000 per year out of income earning American pockets.  Knowing how government spends money, I would bet my life that these estimates are extremely conservative.  Even with these numbers though, who can afford to pay this much money?
• Under this president, we have become less safe than anytime since the Cuban missile crisis.  The events in Benghazi, Libya, where our unarmed soldiers and our Ambassador were murdered in a terrorist attack, planned for September 11.  Even though the White House now has admitted that they knew (and were warned) it was a planned attack, they continued to blame it on a amateur video more than one week later.  Not only did the White House cover up the facts, but in doing so, they provided cover for the terrorists.  Some might call this, providing aid and comfort to the enemy - from the highest office in our nation.  With Al Qaeda knowing they have an ally in the White House, how comfortable do you feel now?

• This president has not created a single job during his administration.  In other words, from month to month, fewer jobs are created than lost.  The net result, fewer people working for less money today than when he took office.  Yet, he continues to blame George HW Bush.  He says he inherited a mess and many of his followers believe him.  Fact:  When George HW Bush took office, we were attacked on 9/11/2011, spiraling our economy out of control.  We recovered and were out of this recession within months.  Fact:  When Ronald Reagan took office for the first time, our nation was in the worst recession since the great depression.  Yet, Ronald Reagan introduced "Dawn in America" by his re-election and the nation was two years into the greatest recover in modern times.  Both of these presidents spoke of the events (or people) who led the country into a recession, but both had spoke about a brighter future based on the trends at the time.  This president however, continues to blame his predecessor after nearly four years of his leadership, most of which was with a congress made up of democrats.  As for the future, he paints a picture, but unlike the previous great presidents, he has taken this country into the worst, let's call it what it is; depression EVER!  
• Today, more people are on food stamps than ever before!
• Unemployment is higher than it has been since Jimmy Carter.  If you calculate the rate using the formula in place at the time, today's unemployment rate would be pushing 20%.
• As a percentage, fewer bread winners own their own home than before the great depression.
• The current recession has lasted longer than any recession in our time.
• Gasoline prices have stayed at the current levels (or higher) than under any president in the past.
• Fewer small businesses are succeeding or being opened, then ever before in our nation.

While all of this tragedy has overtaken our country, this president has succeeded at one thing...he has played more rounds of golf than any other president.  I guess this is better than hanging out in Casino's.

This president has stated to the Soviet (call it what it is) President that he will enact his true plans after the re-election.  Really?  Do we need any thing more than this to toss him to the curb?

This president has snubbed our closest and only true ally in the middle east.  Does anyone realize that if Israel is forced to defend themselves against Iran, it will truly be a fight for the survival of their land and their people?  This will not be a "Shock and Awe" failure, this will be the greatest, most terrific conflagration the world has seen.  Yet, our president continues to warm up to the enemy.  Israel is bordered by Egypt, a country for which they have been at peace with for 30+ years.  Egypt however, is now run by Islamic extremists who side with Iran, whose stated goal is to destroy Israel. Yet, Obama continues to fund Egypt's military to the tune of $2B per year.  To put it in perspective, if you earned $1M per year, this would be 2000 years of your salary that we are giving to the supporters of our enemy.

All of this goes beyond the rhetoric of past posts when I accused Obama of being a Islamic terrorist sympathizer and a hater of America and our values.  This is much more critical.  We have a man in the White House who is determined to bring this nation to it's knees at any cost.  This is a man who called the terrorist slaughter of our unarmed soldiers in Benghazi, "a bump in the road."  This is the man who apologized for America and our inalienable rights, for weeks after the attack.

On the very day the administration released the news that they knew, 24 hours after the attack that it was a terrorist attack; this is the administration who arrested the producer of the "infamous" video, which the administration still publicly blames for the attack.  The news of his arrest buried the news of the administration's failure to place extra protection at our embassies on 9/11, despite the known threats.  This man, character traits aside; has been ordered held without bond and will no doubt never be heard from again prior to the election, if at all!  In keeping with tyrannical governments of the past, I predict we will hear of Nakoula Basseley Nakoula dying unexpectedly while in jail, perhaps it will be suicide.

With all of the fallout from this administration, I am surprised that anyone would vote for this man, yet he continues to remain ahead in the polls.  Under normal circumstances, I would not vote for his opposition.  I do not support Mitt Romney when compared to many other possible candidates.  I am excited to think that some day we may have the Modern Whig party leading the country.  Today however, it is a fight for American values, for the right to Life and Liberty.  This election must be decided not by polls or radical outlaw communist protesters.  This election must be decided by everyone who cares about freedom!
