The elections have passed and I agree that electing Obama was a historic moment for our country. There are other reasons why Obama was chosen by many to be the next president. The economy, the war, youth, likability and who knows what else. So here is what I think.
Chosing a president to make history makes no sense at all and maybe I wouldn’t have a problem with it if Obama didn’t have such a terribly leftist record. The person with the most liberal views in the senate will be our president? A person who sought out professors with Marxist views? A person who has associations with people like Ayers and Wright?
I don’t know if making history is worth losing more and more of our freedoms and signing ourselves up for more and more dependency on the government. Oh well…, the people have spoken, so we shall see.
What’s going on with our voting system?
From hanging chads, to people who are being turned away after waiting for many hours, to outright voter fraud.
HELLO everyone!!!
Voting is serious business. You don’t monkey with that. These days people think it’s funny to register dead people, pets and fellons. I don’t care how much you want your candidate to win. One (legal) person – one vote!
Ohh, and now we’re also dragging people to voting locations. Yep, we take busses and vans and ask people to get in and vote and maybe offer them lunch or cigarettes in return. Unbelievable!!
If someone needs help voting, they should be provided every assistance possible but if someone is not interested in voting they shouldn’t be dragged to the polls.
We the people need to stand up for what is right, no matter what party you are affiliated with and a fool proof voting system should be on top of that list.
One word – NO
OK, some more words. In typical democrat fashion, he promises the lower and middle class “change”. Change meaning that he will give you more money. Same old story, you are poor and I will get you money. What a bunch of baloney. No one has ever gotten anywhere by getting money from the government. The only thing I am really sure of about Obama is that he intends to get money from the rich and give it to the poor (and middle class). What a trooper, and ohh so original. Let’s all admire him for that.
Change? Yeah right!
People like Obama will maybe get you a few more dollars but they sure won’t empower you to stand on your own two feet. After all, who then would vote for them???
Who are the “rich”?
Big businesses, small businesses, individuals making more than $250,000. Basically everyone from Big Oil to Microsoft and Boeing, to our automakers, pharmaceuticals, retailers and on and on and on. Also included are many doctors, lawyers and others running small businesses.
So, are you rich? No?
Are you working for someone they call rich? Very likely!
Then why on earth do you want to impose higher taxes on those businesses that employ people like you and me?
Do you think that is smart? Do you think raising taxes on businesses will make them hire MORE people?
Do you think you are more likely to get a raise? Do you think costs for goods and services these “rich” produce will go up or down?
Let’s face it, the “Rich” are what keep this country, or any other country for that matter going. The “rich” are our economy. Big Oil, Microsoft, Walmart, Disney and thousands of big and small businesses around the country ARE OUR ECONOMY!!!
Taxing them is like biting the hand that feeds you!
And doing so in an economic slowdown is just plain insane.
The rich, the rich, the rich…..ahhh it’s great to always have someone to blame isn’t it?
