I don’t recall an outcry from the Bluff City resident when the outrageous disrespect was being expressed toward President Bush.
This is typical of left wing supporters whose ostrich approach to the socialist policies being pushed by this president and the Congress, which is controlled by his party.
The president should focus his energies and policies toward adults, not elementary children. Indeed, that’s the socialist approach used by Nazis: Control and brainwash them before they are old enough to know better.
The Social Security Act is another example of government intervention by Democrats when none was needed. One only has to look at the results and what it’s cost us. The same applies to Medicare, which by itself is an out of control monster that’s eating us alive.
That, too, is the product of Democrats. There was a time when families, friends and churches took care of the sick/elderly and illegal aliens be dammed and that was working fine until politicians stuck their vote seeking noses into it.
The purpose of the federal government is not to meddle in our personal lives, nor to provide us jobs, nor to furnish us with insurance. It’s purpose is to protect us against things from which we cannot protect ourselves. i.e. foreign invasions, corporate monopolies that strangle competition, etc..
As far as the qualifications of Obama? All of us didn’t elect him nor do we subscribe to the fantasy that he’s a capable president. He has no military experience, no foreign policy experience, no economic experience, he’s never owned or operated a business, he has no experience with the CIA or it’s purpose. Being black, a lawyer, having only had 143 days in the Senate and the ability to read from a monitor is all he has going for him and when the monitor goes out he loses that one and mostly stutters and stammers.
Lastly, the writer from Bluff City, in typical Democratic party fashion, is quick to point out that Republicans offered little or no support to the above mentioned programs [which I think was the correct decision] but is she aware that Republicans almost single handedly passed the Civil Rights Bill of the 1960s, with virtually no support from Democrats?
At any rate, it’s way past time to limit the intrusion of government in our lives and as I see it, the best way to do that is to put the Democrats back in the minority.
