Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsI just posted this on a right-wing blog.
I was angry about what I read and whipped it up.....I should have proofed and edited but didn't. I am confident my position will not be appreciated on the other site so I am posting here just to feel some camaraderie!
The American Taliban gain strength each day. Fearing & condemning Obama is so much easier than honest assessment of issues. Not to mention, the work involved with seeking solutions and working together towards a promising future.
The Obama administration has deported more illegal immigrants than any other president. He has named countless staff positions with Republicans from private sector corporations. His overall policies are not socialist and they are not tyrannical (Not to mention communism/socialism does not equal a tyranny but they certainly are charged allegations).
Obamas spending and stimulus cannot compare to the expense of a war with Iraq built on lies. Dick Cheney speaks publicly of his belief that wars are necessary and should be perpetual. Lets be careful when accusing the current administration of bankrupting the country.
And as we talk about entitlements, why are you so anxious to take food from the mouths of the unfortunate and redistribute that wealth to the CEO, Bankers, and Wall Street? Have you not noticed how those groups seem to think they are entitled to bonuses, perks, and compensation we cant even understand? Or the entitlement our lawmakers, legislatures, and politicians seem to think owed from the public trough? Do you really think these dont far exceed welfare and food stamp fraud?
The world has gone to hell because marriage and family have been redefined. Really? You yearn of the 50s when the little woman stays at home, wears only skirts, produces babies, and makes your home. Yet, you want to deny loving couples building lives and traditional families together because you dont understand their chemistry is different than your own?
Are you really applauding Hobby Lobby was given approval because their religious beliefs trumps their employees? If you have been led to believe the case is really about only an (abortion) drug, then you have never read any of their very public sermons on their viewpoints.
It is comfortable and secure to think your good fortunes and opportunities afforded to you (those awarded and those you created on your own) are because you are superior to those that dont have the resource you have (Be it intelligence, intellect, monetary, favorable circumstance of any kind).
You are concerned the Obama administration is curbing you free speech, but say nothing of how the media is now owned by very small group. The President is given less and less air time to speak to the citizens.
Across the nation Republican Governors, SOS, Attorney Generals, and other positions are publicly stating a policy of opposing the Presidents agenda. That is not the job of those elected officials! Yet they are redistributing our tax dollars to the legal communities to bring lawsuits or other challenges. They have two lawmakers hang around to be considered in session so as to block any session appointments. There is a public announcement there wont be any work done on anything the President proposes. Period. Are these parasites, those expecting the entitlement of our tax/trust leaders? I think not!
By the way, Obama has fewer Executive Orders and recess appointments than most all of his predecessors.
The saddest and most worrisome is how decent people, good neighbors, and friends are influenced by a very organized and a very shrill sleight of hand. Tune out the buzz, the talking points, and propaganda. Educate yourself on oligopoly. Take a hard look at countries that do not have collective bargaining, regulatory oversight, EPA, or other liberal policies.
Divided we fall.

(13,685 posts)Good job. You covered many bases, but i doubt they can read that many words at once. Especially since it makes them look so anti-American.

(62,270 posts)What the hell? That blog is so amateurish yet dozens of people comment. Not bashing you btw, I don't know how you came across it, but that blog is really popular it seems. Glad you set the record straight on that idiot.

I posted my comment under three entries (all political) on the blog. All three of them have been deleted.
The blog owner must not want any discussion on the points. I take it they didn't agree or want to admit any of the points may be valid.
I like to try to get others to take a closer look.......
Thank you!!!
