During Obama's recent press conference, he described in very clear terms what you must do to dig his Administration out of the mess he has created: "We are all in this together. We all have a responsibility to each other and to our country."
He wants you and I to pay for his Administration's destruction of capitalism, property rights and individual freedom. He expects us to pay for the demise of our shining city on a hill!
No, Mr. Obama, we are not all in this together. I will NOT be a party to the destruction of the country I love, the country that keeps me free, and the economy that allows me to succeed.
And I do NOT have a responsibility to anyone else. I will NOT become a slave to my neighbor, so that he can buy a new car, a new flat screen TV, or decide to vacation in Florida this summer.
The ONLY responsibility I have is to dig myself out of financial messes that I might make, to take care of my family and to take responsibility for my actions. That is how my country survives and thrives. And that is my neighbor's responsibility as well. And if it means he has to live in an apartment, so be it...at least it's not a cramped little hut in Africa.
I am blessed with the gifts and talents that I have. They are mine, not the federal government's to harness and exploit. They were given to me by God. Combined with the gift of free will, I have the opportunity to couple them with hard work. And in a free market, based on individual liberty, I will succeed.
I owe nothing to the federal government. Mr. Obama, you consistently use the word country where you mean government, to invoke in us a sense of patriotism, in the hopes that we will easily give in to our own destruction.
But in reality, Mr. President, you want no allegiance to the capitalist principles and liberty-enshrined ideals that created and sustained our civilization for two centuries. Instead, you demand obedience to the heartless, mindless bureaucracy that has slowly suffocated our country in the last sixty years.
Obama continued his guile by saying, "When we all work together, when each of us looks beyond our own short-term interest to the set of wider obligations we have towards each other -- that's when we succeed."
I have no obligation toward anyone but my family...to take care of them if they need it and to raise my children to be reasoning, reasonable human beings. It's through my obligation to my family, through acting responsibly both morally and financially, that I am a patriot and a free woman. By being self-sufficient, and through the self-interested use of my talents in the marketplace, I take care of myself so that no one else has to.
It would be outrageously immoral of me to ask the federal government to grant me special rights that are unconstitutional and expressly forbidden by our Founding Fathers...to give me money that does not belong to me. I empower the government as my own private ring of thieves when I take from them what they took from my neighbor.
The federal government would love to take my "order": Yes, I'll have one mortgage renegotiation, with a side of weatherproofing and how about one of those cable boxes to decode the new digital signal. Can I ask, does that come with a side of car-purchase write-offs, or do I have to order that separately? Yeah, and put it on my neighbor's tab, thanks.
But that is why Obama wants us all to buy into this bankrupt system of socialism...none of us will come out ahead...and we will all need his federal government to provide us with what little we may ask for.
Why would any rational, thinking, hard working human being want to be part of such a system?
There is so much more I could comment on, but I am tired. I am tired of yelling in the canyon, only to hear my own voice echo back. I am tired of fighting such evil, without political leaders who want to fight alongside me. And I am tired of having to watch mind-numbing press conferences run by a socialist who shouldn't have been allowed to get near the controls of the most important country in the history of mankind. Tomorrow is another day...
