Obama’s Radical Agenda Unfolds
Jan 25, 2009 Political
During the campaign Barack Obama was careful to ensure he was vague about his plans. He never detailed anything and he took positions that anyone with a brain knew were positions he oppsed in the past. He became a proponent for individual gun rights when all his career he was against the idea. He supported the Heller decision when he had openly stated that he was in favor of the DC gun ban. He said he was not out to take our guns when his entire career has been spent trying to ban them. From the White House website:
Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent.
The real problem is that Obama and his group of liberal, anti gun zealots will decide what common sense is. They will impose gun rules and say “Oh, that is just common sense.” One only needs to look at the gun bill Bobby Rush has introduced to know it is about control and not about common sense. It is about creating a national ID card system for gun owners that Obama and his anti gun Attorney General nominee can use to confiscate weapons or to restrict ownership. The Second Amendment is a right that “…shall not be infringed.” Obama’s belief in “common sense rules” INFRINGES. The bill from Rush INFRINGES. Gun control does not work. If it did then Chicago would not have the number of GUN murders that it does.
I know that liberals like the idea of gun control and this whole idea of “common sense” rules. If they are happy with that then perhaps we could start getting a national ID for those who wish to be part of the press (MSM). You would need the AG to issue a license to allow you to write or speak about issues. If the AG found some reason that you should not have that right then you would not get an ID. This way the MSM can’t print incorrect stories that incite riots (like flushing Korans) and end up with people getting killed.
Maybe we can have some “common sense” rules on the use of free speech. People would have to apply to the AG for a picture ID allowing them to speak freely. If the AG found out you ever went to a psychiatrist or some other mental health provider you would not be allowed to speak about anything in public. These common sense approaches are needed to keep dangerous people from saying things that incite riots or cause panic. Members of Congress would especially need this so that idiots like Chuck Schumer don’t cause runs on the banks by saying stupid things.
Imagine the uproar if the government tried to regulate those rights with “common sense” rules. Look at how liberals lose their minds at any attempt to provide common sense regulation to abortion. Obama has taken steps in his first few days to make abortions easier to obtain and to make Americans pay for abortions all around the world. The same liberals who cry when people are killed in war are providing a service to murder their children in the womb, all at American taxpayer expense. Liberals lose their minds when states try to enact rules on abortion (which is not a right enumerated in the Constitution) and fight to have no restrictions whatsoever. Obama does not believe in restrictions on abortions and thinks it is OK to murder a kid born after an unsuccessful abortion. A 13 year old girl can’t be given a Tylenol in school without parental permission but Obama and the libs believe this same 13 year old girl should be able to get an abortion without the permission of her parents. In fact, they don’t believe she even has to tell them.
No common sense restrictions or we are infringing on a woman’s right to choose, a right that is not spelled out in the Constitution. The right to keep and bear arms is clearly spelled out in the US Constitution and it is a right that SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED. That one needs “common sense” rules, according to the Leader Hussein. This is the liberal mindset. They want to take guns because that takes away the means to resist. It takes away the necessary check on government. It takes away the ability to fight tyranny.
Same Sex Marriage Is A State’s Issue And Should Remain That Way
Obama said he was opposed to same sex marriage and I don’t think his position on that has changed. However, he is opposed the the defense of marriage act and he wants to get rid of it. If he does, states would be forced to accept the marital status of same sex couples based on the law in the state they were married. If a same sex couple from Massachusetts went to Utah then the people of Utah would be forced to accept the married status and afford them the same rights as married couples even if nearly everyone in the state opposes the idea. This is a wrong move. States have rights and the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution clearly makes this issue one for the states. No state should be forced to comply with something that an overwhelming number of citizens of those states oppose. It is not a matter of fairness as the left would have you believe, it is a matter of the law and who gets to make those decisions.
Obama wants to impose the federal will on the states. Within minutes of his swearing in the White House website was changed and his radical agenda displayed. Under the label of “civil rights” Obama lays out all the radical things he wants to do. These are the radical things he has wanted to do all along but did not express because he knew he could not win an election if he openly stated these goals.
Some of these things would force religious institutions to do things contrary to their beliefs. Religious hospitals would be forced to perform abortions or face fines and penalties from the government. Religious institutions have already gotten out of the adoption business because of the government forcing them to assist gay couples in getting children. It will not be long before religious organizations shutter their doors and stop helping people. This is the agenda Obama has planned.
He plans on ensuring that states are forced to comply with his and the LBGT agenda for America. Obama plans on slowly eroding the rights of states and the rights of citizens until all rules come from a centralized government. We are moving toward an Oligarchy and along the way there is going to be a great backlash. It will either be during elections or it will be in armed resistance. This is why he wants to take your guns.
The radical agenda will continue as they try to sneak things past. One day we will wake up and it will all be in place and we will be asking; How? It starts when they begin eroding our rights and it ends with us under one collective government where we are ruled by a few elitists. They do it by inserting things like money for universal health care into a stimulus package. They will continue until one day we wake up and all our health care decisions are made by government and paid for by the taxpayer. Again, we will ask; How?
By 2010 we will have one of two courses. Obama and the libs will have taken control of our lives and removed any chance of resistance or their acts will cause such a backlash that they lose a great number of seats in the midterm election.
Keep and eye on this. Anyone who votes for the bailout and other items designed to take our freedoms away needs to be removed from office.

So Much for Democratic Fiscal Responsibility
Nov 15, 2007 Political
Citizens Against Government Waste is putting the finishing touches on its pork report for the year and what they will report is not pretty. There were 8000 earmarks totaling 20 billion dollars. That is 20 billion dollars in taxpayer money that was flushed down the drain by the Democratic Congress, the ones who promised to put an end to waste and be a more efficient government. The truth is they could not keep their money grubbing hands out of our pockets and they could not exercise any control. For those who say the government should tax the hell out of us to provide unconstitutional social programs, here is 20 billion dollars that could have provided services without raising taxes.
Of course, I do not believe in universal health care or other government run and government provided services but if I did I would be asking how we can afford this kind of waste and not the items that Democrats think are important. The Republican led Congress (and President Bush for that matter) was no better but they lost last year so this is on the new majority. The Democrats campaigned on their ability to fix these kinds of things and now it is glaringly obvious that they are unable. They lack control and they lack responsibility.
Democrats like to say we need to end the war because that is why they were elected. They campaigned on ending the war along with the promise to be responsible with our money so that means if ending the war was a mandate, so was being fiscally responsible. They have failed miserably on both counts.
I do not think the election was a mandate on the war but this is what they think. So they are not free to cherry pick what they were elected to do. They promised to be responsible with our money and they have not been. This is another reason we need the line item veto and it is a very good example of why we should never trust Democrats.
There should be no doubt that they are truly the tax and spend party.
