I dreamt the Obamas moved out of the White House

I had been chosen to be on the team to clean things up for the next occupant (no idea who that was). Boy, had the Obamas left a mess at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue! But it was a great feeling to clear out the junk and get things organized and decorated for the next President of the United States. I feel so energized this morning. Let's go get 'em in 2012. I want this dream to come true as quickly as possible.

How the Fed Controls the American Dream

Who does the Fed answer to? Who controls them? Who is their oversight? How did they seize the unconstitutional power to print money? This long video is animated, clear and worth the time. John F. Kennedy was the last president with the guts to confront the Federal Reserve. In June 1963 he signed an executive order taking the printing of money back to the American government. He died 6 months later. Sent to me by an Oathkeeper.

The Ugly Impetus Behind Obamacare

Is Obamacare the bill that never dies? The Undead? How many Americans need to speak out against this bill to be heard. How many Democrats need to be defeated politically for them to get the message. The reality is that the backers of the bill will do anything to see their 2000+page Leviathan of government panels and control enacted. Even without a "public option" the government will end up owning healthcare. How have we held them at bay? Through sheer force of numbers. The bill's backers will try anything, do anything to see it put into law. Fortunately for Americans, not all elected Democrats have the same blind drive. As the political winds shift to the right, as Democrats lose race after race, poll after poll, support for this bill gets weaker and weaker. Last November a liberal, John Cassidy at the New Yorker, wrote a piece explaining why it is so important to get the bill passed, as written, at all costs.

Why are they doing it? Because, according to Mr. Cassidy, ObamaCare serves the twin goals of "making the United States a more equitable country" and furthering the Democrats' "political calculus." In other words, the purpose is to further redistribute income by putting health care further under government control, and in the process making the middle class more dependent on government. As the party of government, Democrats will benefit over the long run.

This explains why Nancy Pelosi is willing to risk the seats of so many Blue Dog Democrats by forcing such an unpopular bill through Congress on a narrow, partisan vote: You have to break a few eggs to make a permanent welfare state. As Mr. Cassidy concludes, "Putting on my amateur historian's cap, I might even claim that some subterfuge is historically necessary to get great reforms enacted."

No wonder many Americans are upset. They know they are being lied to about ObamaCare, and they know they are going to be stuck with the bill.

The part about Obama wanting to make the U.S. a "more equitable country" makes perfect sense to me. Obama was raised by Marxist parents, sought out Marxist teachers, and believes to his bones that only equal outcomes will make America fair. He does not believe in the American Dream of equal opportunity.

Stealing Joe's American Dream

The "Joe the Plumber" portion of last night's debate really spoke to me. I have strong feelings about socialism. I saw how destructive socialism was when I spent a summer in Sweden in 1980 as a foreign exchange student. I spoke personally with the children there, particularly the high school students. As an American, I was filled with high aspirations for my future. At the time, I wanted to become a doctor. I had the hope that if I worked hard and applied myself, that I could make a better life for myself and my family. This is the American Dream. The students in Sweden had no hopes for their future. They told me in no uncertain terms that they intended to slide through life and they did not intend to do anything great. Why work hard like that, they said, when the government would come in and take it all away? If you work hard in Sweden, they take all your money, and you end up supporting 4 other families in addition to your own, and the drunk down the street has a nice apartment, paid for by you.

Senator Barack Obama's plan to increase taxes on those making over $250,000 per year will hurt me here, now, where I live. My husband is a doctor, and I stay at home to raise our children. He employs about 10 people directly. Increased taxes will hurt a lot. We live in Southern California, and it is very expensive to live here. We are not rich. But we pay our mortgage every month. And we pay a lot in taxes already, and we employ people who pay taxes and contribute to the economy. Doctors are in a hard spot, when you think about it. My husband didn't start making money until ten years ago, when he was around 35 years old. And as a surgeon, he will not be able to continue his work into his old age. So his earning years are limited. He did everything right. He did what we teach our children they should do. He went to school, tried hard, learned, went on to higher education, tried hard, and succeeded. Is it right to punch him in the teeth for that? Is it right to take from the small businesses and "spread the wealth"? Doing that makes all the honest, hard working people regret their efforts. And it teaches the children that hard work and honest effort does not pay off. It makes you a target.

This is not right. Please help to preserve the American Dream for ourselves and for our children. Vote for John McCain.
