I recently sent a letter to the editor of the Hays Daily News titled “Absolutely Appalling.” I stated in that letter I was appalled with what is taking place in our government today. Since there is a 600 word limit in such letters, I claimed I could only scratch the surface and readers should go to this blog for more.
In my letter I mentioned our sorry state of affairs concerning our debt, the rise in unemployment, the failure of the stimulus bill, no real transparency, no real accountability, and an utter disaster of foreign affairs. I will touch on these some more, but have many more to present.
It is my contention that the Obama administration and Democrat controlled congress are leading us down far left wing liberal paths never before experienced in this country’s history. For example, when in our history, has a president and congress outspent all previous presidents and legislative bodies combined going back to George Washington? If that isn’t far left liberalism - and appalling - I don’t know what is!
I submit this blog as is for the time being but hope to add to it and elaborate on my statements for several weeks.
Some other points to keep in mind: What I have to say in this writing is that virtually every major agenda coming down the pike from our pres and congress is a failure except for continuing with Bush policies in Iraq and homeland security. I contend there is far more harm than good taking place. Spending us into oblivion is just one example. If there is more good than bad I would expect dissenters to show me and readers. Dissenters can nit pick here and nit pick there (which I suspect will be the case along with a lot of spin) but when they look at the BIG picture they will have little to offer in refuting my main theme of mostly appalling governmental agendas.
Another important point: If what Obama and company is throwing at us is mostly far left liberal agendas (out of sight spending, higher taxes, more abortions, a weaker national defense, etc. etc.) - to me, it is only logical that it all becomes appalling! Why? This is not a country where the majority are liberals! Liberals make up 20% of our voting population; the other 80% are conservatives and moderates and conservatives outnumber moderates! It stands to reason that the country (mainstream and grassroots Americans) are going to come unglued!
Enough said - on to the many appalling agendas.
Growing government or big government, if you will, is liberalism. Our government is getting bigger and bigger by the day without nationalized healthcare yet the left is trying to ram down our throats more government that will drastically add to our debt and that’s not at all what the majority of Americans want. It’s appalling that Americans clearly do not want gov’t run healthcare and it’s appalling how our government is scheming to force it upon us. Tell me that a bill of over a thousand pages that wasn’t supposed to be read and even if read doesn’t make sense isn’t appalling!
Speaking of bigger government, it’s outrageous to add gov’t employees daily by the truck load. While the unemployment rate in the private sector continues to grow, employment in gov’t goes way up! If fewer Americans are working that means less money going into our U.S. Treasury in the way of taxes. Where is the money coming from to pay for more gov’t workers? Total fiscal irresponsibility and appalling to spend us into more debt, borrow the money, or print it in order to make gov’t more powerful and in the process take away more of our freedoms and liberties.
Americans are experiencing one appalling thing after another. Take Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize. His “appeasing” foreign policy exasperates the problem of nuclear proliferation. Iran and North Korea clearly prove that last statement with more, not less, nuclear development. How does that lead to greater peace in the world? The Norweigian NPP committee gave the award to Obama because our president is willing to give up our own nuclear development, even give up America’s sovereignty to international organizations such as the UN. The UN votes against U.S. initiatives 75% of the time. It is anti semetic. It has the world’s most vile violaters of human rights on its Human Rights Committee. By giving up our “clout” in world affairs by Obama, the NPP committee gleefully gave our pres the award. Absolutely appalling for this country of ours! And, let’s not forget that Obama did nothing for the freedom of Iran’s people who rebelled against its dictatorial government that promises to annihilate Israel.
More to come (much more) on socialism, ACORN, amnesty, TV overkill, teleprompter pres, radical czars, waterboarding, declining dollar, climate change, unions, tax cheats, lobbyists, more taxes, the UN, Rangle, Conyers, Dodd, Frank, Pelosi, Reid, Wright, etc. etc.
