PERESTROIKA

Our country having endured for 237 years, is on the edge of disaster in the hands of an ideologue. Anyone opposed to his impractical manifesto is to be considered by him, an enemy of the state.

We are in this mess because he is able to sell his brand to an unsophisticated and at times, a very large portion of the electorate, ignorant of the role of government. He stokes their vote by unwarranted entitlements meant for the people truly in need.

Eliminating the backbone of our economy.... individual initiative, replacing it with collectivity will be the death sentence of our country as we know it.

President Barack Hussein Obama is trying to fashion a government, proved to be a failure by the defunct Eastern Bloc nations that were under socialist rule. If he doesn't understand this in English, maybe he will in socialistic lingo. It doesn't work, that is why the USSR and its satellites adopted Perestroika. (Def.: restructuring the political and economical system)

"Mr. President, I urge you do the same and reverse your Perestroika, because
it is leading our country into the same dismal condition the 'Cold War' countries were in and abandoned for a system more like ours, before you became president.

Why Do the Democrats Now Like 98% of the Bush Tax Cuts?

After all these years of denigrating and demonizing George W. Bush for getting his tax cuts instituted in 2001 and 2003, we now see that the Democrats agree that 98% of the Bush tax cuts were worthy of support. What changed their minds? What bunch of hypocrites.

You could say that 98% of the Bush tax cuts were good for the country as the Democrats voted overwhelmingly to make them permanent. Was it all political theater? Was their main goal to stick it to the upper 2% to satisfy their base of ultra-liberal lunatics? Of course it was!

The liberal loons showed their true colors - everything is about power and if the opposition has a good idea (like lowering taxes) or have made a good policy decision, they would move heaven and earth to not let them get credit as it might undermine their chances to maintain power. Remember when Bush proposed to let younger workers use part of their Social Security taxes to set up private accounts, using blue chip stocks and AAA bonds, to supplement their retirement savings and payout when they retire, as was proposed by Democrats Daniel Patrick Moynihan and John Breaux, the Democrats shot that down as being an attack on the soon to be bankrupt Social Security system? Most economists said that this partial privatization of Social Security would return 2 or 3 times the retirement benefits to future retirees than the present system would return. Bush even proposed that if the worker wanted to remain in the regular Social Security program, they could make that choice. It was a win-win proposal, but they couldn’t let Bush get credit for that innovative change, could they?

The attack on the successful people (the so-called rich) of our country by the Democrats was all symbolism over substance. The revenue that will be raised by punishing the rich (a/k/a the successful) will only result in about 1% of our yearly deficit. Even if you taxed the wealthy at 100% it still wouldn’t reach the yearly deficit that we run up each year. It is all smoke and mirrors and geared to pacify their ultra-liberal base of supporters who really hate the rich (a/k/a the successful) people who now pay 70% of all the income taxes paid to the government.

Why haven’t we come out of our financial doldrums since Obama took office? Would it have anything to do with his fiscal policies? Of course it would. His policies of putting a moratorium on us capturing our vast amounts of natural energy (oil, coal, and natural gas); his ill-timed Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) that has actually increased health care costs; his constant expansion of the federal workforce (federal employment has increased by over 200,000 since 2009); and his overreaching of trying to implement his green energy program and his wasteful loans to companies (crony capitalism) on the verge of bankruptcy and finally bankruptcy itself, have all contributed to our financial malaise.

So yes, the Democrats now think that Bush was right by lowering the tax rates, but they don’t want to give him credit. Class warfare is one of the things that Obama guru, David Axelrod, and Obama have used in the past and will continue to use in the future to try to advance their Marxist/Socialist ideology.

Will we finally come to our senses? Maybe when we reach the status of Greece or Spain, it’ll finally sink in that we have been sold “snake oil” instead of a dose of “Moving Forward” B.S. as was articulated by Obama.

MORT’s meanderings

“A stain on the soul of America”

This descriptive phrase, attributed to K.T. McFarland who served in the Reagan Administration and who is currently, a highly-respected national security expert – is a stunning commentary on the sad state in which we find our nation today.

Since the election of Barack Hussein Obama in 2008, this country that I love has had its economy decimated by this President’s unprecedented, relentless, flagrant spending spree.  In addition, businesses large and small have been assailed by his fiscal attacks.  America’s businesses have been targeted for new and extremely burdensome taxation.  

Furthermore, the back bone of our free-enterprise system, the risk taking entrepreneurs, have been unfairly categorized as greedy and repressive of their employees.  Add to this that long-established business and social enterprises have had unsubstantiated charges of widespread racism leveled against them by this President.  He has made numerous speeches intentionally calculated to incite and exacerbate class warfare – the ‘rich’ against ‘hard-working middle-class Americans’.  This is blatant.  It is divisive.  And it is most assuredly, unworthy of the habitual repetition in pronouncements made by a President of the United States.

To my knowledge, there is no record of a more specious program of top-down policies propagated by our Federal Government than we are seeing implemented before our eyes – policies specifically designed to bring our economy to its knees.  Such animus on the part of a President and his Administration is unique; it has never before been witnessed or experienced by Americans.  The result intended, has been the creation of severe economic chaos that provides all the excuse needed by Obama in order to justify his next round of restrictive regulations.  More regulations being piled-on, leading inevitably toward a further tightening of control over the lives of our citizenry by the Federal Government.  That is the plan. That’s how it works. It’s called ‘tyranny’, Folks.  

Many of our long-established  programs – programs that formerly employed thousands of people with well-paying jobs - jobs that held the promise of longevity of employment, have been summarily killed or put on a starvation diet that guaranteed their demise in the short term.  

NASA’s space efforts for example, have been curtailed.  At least 7,000 space program jobs were lost – and another 7,000 jobs in the local area around Titusville, Florida that supported the space activity, were lost. This President suggested that NASA instead, work toward helping Muslims enhance their self-esteem.  That move was so cynical and so weird that it defies any attempt to interpret it by using accepted logic.  It did however, expose the mindset of Obama.  He is fanatically committed to his Socialist ideology.  That errant philosophy dictates that it is necessary to destroy our competitive, free-enterprise system before implementing the joys of Communist ‘wealth redistribution’.  
How very swell of this touchy-feely President.    

A deliberate and systematic shut-down of our energy industries – oil, coal, nuclear, natural gas, etc. that assures our further dependence on foreign sources for our energy needs, was a crippling move with terrible consequences for our nation.  It is inexplicable unless one believes that Obama harbors ulterior motives for our country and this is just part of his grand plan to implement our subordination to lesser nations.  Sounds terribly cynical and terribly nefarious but, can someone offer a more rational explanation?

Our military has been disrespected, ridiculed, and denigrated by this Commander-in-Chief who openly despises our men and women in the Armed Forces - while lavishing them with compliments and effusively lauding them – all with a straight face.  This is yet, another example of his egregious use of his tactic of choice – ‘Taquiyya’, the Arabic word for deception. Deception that is permissible and encouraged in the furtherance of Islam’s goal of world domination.  Someone care to offer proof to the contrary? 

In the long line of American Presidents, no parallel can be found when the Chief Executive has worked in such an opaque manner, behind such a heavy curtain of secrecy.    None has so totally ignored the established protocol between the three branches of Federal Government.  None has acted so unilaterally, without concern for the relationship between the three branches, a relationship that is so specifically defined in the Constitution of the United States.  No president has been so openly hostile or has displayed such a callous, cavalier attitude when dealing with the Legislative and Judicial branches of our Government.  Supposedly, all three branches are ‘equal’.

At every opportunity during his first campaign for the Presidency, Barack Hussein Obama reiterated his promise to change the tone of cooperation between the two major political parties.  He repeatedly swore to bring about an environment of bi-partisanship between Democrats and Republicans in our nation’s capital.  How has that worked out for us?  In my opinion  –  ‘Not so much’.  

It seems to me that this President has made it a favorite part of his daily routine, to freely castigate and point the finger of blame at Republicans in the Congress.  He has consistently charged them with being intransigent and unwilling to compromise.  ‘Compromise’ to Obama and apparently to all Democrats, means a total capitulation (caving-in) by duly-elected Republican representatives of their constituencies, to whatever cockamamie schemes the Dems are trying to impose on the American people.  

All the preceding illustrates what is meant by:   ‘A Stain on the Soul of America’.

Is Black Sen. Tim Scott Black Enough for the NAACP?

Apparently not according to Ben Jealous, current President of the NAACP. Jealous has claimed that Sen. Tim Scott of So. Carolina is just a “token” appointment who knows nothing about civil rights. What a racist statement for someone who represents one of the oldest black organizations in the country to make against a fellow black citizen, who now just happens to have assumed the office of U.S. Senator?

Not only does Sen. Scott have an exemplary record in both business and government, he was appointed to fill the recently vacated seat of Sen. Jim DeMint, who resigned to take a leadership position at the prestigious Heritage Foundation, he was appointed by another minority,

Governor Nikki Haley, who is Asian Indian/American. But, I guess that doesn’t mean anything to Ben Jealous, who, by the way, is of a mixed racial background himself, and who many would say could pass as a white person with no problem at all. Maybe since Sen. Scott is a few shades darker than Ben Jealous, maybe the erstwhile NAACP president is really “jealous” (yes, pun is intended) of the darker-skinned Scott?

This whole sorry episode shows that the NAACP really doesn’t represent all blacks (or negroes) since they condemn all blacks who do not toe the liberal line or who do not stay on the liberal “plantation”. It seems the litmus test for any black person is whether they agree with the liberal philosophy, and if they don’t, they are relegated to the scrapheap of the black community elite.

This hypocrisy is practiced by the same people who condemn Republicans and Conservatives of using race as a political ploy, but it seems that they are the one’s who use race to justify their condemnation of their political opponents.

Look at how other blacks have been treated by the liberals and Democrats. During George Bush’s first term, a black Colin Powell was appointed Secretary of State, he was also called a token and a “house negro”. The praise was few and far between. Later on, after he left government and he supported Obama for president, he was suddenly embraced as a true visionary and a seasoned politician - why the change of attitude? It looks the change in attitude about him was because he came back to the Democrat “plantation” and all his former “sins” were forgotten. His successor, Condolezza Rice, a black academic from Stanford, was also vilified as being a pawn of the “white man” and some vile racial cartoons were drawn depicting her negatively. It was a disgraceful display of the “double standard”.

Here in Florida, outspoken black congressman, Allen West, was routinely denigrated by the Democrats, racially, as being an “uppity black”, an Uncle Tom, and an “Oreo cookie”. The wrath of the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP came upon Rep. West and with the help of their efforts, West narrowly lost his re-election.

So, when the NAACP puts down a fellow black like Sen. Tim Scott for no other reason than he is a Republican, Conservative, or Tea Party supporter, you know that their credibility of being a sincere spokesman for blacks is very much in question.
