Thug Life

He’s either completely nuts or hellbent on destroying this country. I’m not sure there’s any other explanation for BO. Think of it, who would propose restricting tax deductions for charitable contributions at a time of economic collapse when charities and their beneficiaries are struggling more than ever? Shouldn’t government encourage charity? Why is BO so threatened by private acts of charity? Perhaps it’s because his Marxist mentors taught him to distrust private charity, because they believe private giving causes society to ignore social problems. Did you know the Bidens gave an average of only $369 per year to charity– only 0.2% of his income — over the last ten years. What generosity! Thanks, Joe. What kind of a man is he? And his boss — placing disincentives on giving during a time of crisis– thus placing charities in a choke-hold? What a thug!

Who would propose massive tax increases in a time of recession? Talk down the economy as the markets crumble? Who would say no to new drilling, refineries, coal plants and nuclear plants at a time when we’re tying to decrease our reliance on foreign oil and keep energy costs low? Who, in their right mind, would propose a $787 billion stimulus package that contains only $50 billion in actual stimulus? A stimulus package the CBO says will do more harm than good to the economy — who would propose such a bill? Who would promise bipartisanship and the end to politics as usual and then not allow Republican input or public debate on such a massive spending program? Who would propose a budget during a recession that calls for spending more in 20 months than were spent in the entire 8 years of the Bush administration?

He argues for more regulations on the auto industry even as they are on the verge of bankruptcy. He refuses to veto nearly 9,000 in earmarks but yet has no problem cutting the school voucher program for 1,700 of DC’s children. He announces the closure of Gitmo without a clue about what happens next. He sets a date certain for withdrawal from Iraq and thus sends our enemies the message that if they just wait us out, they’ll win. He promises deep cuts for the military during a time of war and yet he sought to spend 11 billion on new helicopters for the White House fleet.

He rails against greed, but he’s greedy for power. He disdains the power of Wall Street and corporate America, but he lusts for control over every aspect of our lives. With a straight face, he scolds state mayors and governors not to waste the money coming to them in the stimulus package, and yet he already is the most wasteful spending president in our history. This president has no clue how to create wealth — he only knows how to redistribute it. This isn’t the change America voted for this fall. He acts like November ‘08 was a mandate on capitalism, as if his Marxist agenda was what people were cheering for. Looking back, I’m not sure what they were cheering. An arrogant, know-nothing candidate, with zero experience, who hates the America I love, and who is now doing everything he can to destroy what is best in this society — from charity, to education, to energy, to the economy, to health care, to our retirements.

Forty-six days into this administration. Our economy in shambles. Our deficit soaring. Taxes and unemployment sky-rocketing. Our enemies are the only ones universally celebrating the change that has come to Washington.
