I’ve got something stirring in my heart and my head that I hope I can express effectively.I don’t do a good enough job in the communication department, so bear with me as I try to get it all sorted out…

I’m sure by now, you’re completely familiar with the tactics that the Obama administration and the Congress have been using to push their collective (I used that word on purpose) will into every area of the so-called “free market” (what’s left of it), not to mention every area of your daily life. It’s all over the place. However, even though the information is out there, most of the media outlets don’t seem to be doing a great job of connecting the dots for themselves… much less for those who read/listen/view their content. Well, maybe they do actually connect the dots, but they’re ok with it, so they spin the news in an attempt to keep people complacent in their ignorance. I’ll leave that up to you to decide for yourself.

Obama is on record countless times talking about “fundamentally transforming the United States of America“, “leveling the playing field“, “redistributive change“, “social justice“, and “redistribution of wealth“. Have you noticed that he rarely ever talks about what he means by those catch phrases, since he’s been in office, so that the average citizen has an understanding of what the man (and his entourage) stands for? Do you think that is an oversight on his part? Do you think he slipped and forgot to elaborate? Don’t bet on it, my friends. Don’t bet on it.

These are ALL key words and catch phrases designed to sound wonderful, spectacular, different, and soft-n-fluffy, but they are… just like most everything related to Obama and what he stands for… grand illusions. They are something nefarious pretending to be something grand and good. They are an attempt to redirect and deflect sunlight… but sunlight has a way of showing the truth about everything… if you’re willing to look closely enough.

Obama is a socialist, pure and simple. His aims are to take from those who bust their humps to be successful and then give SOME of it to those who do nothing but hold out their hands for donation… but the rest is to go into the ruling elite’s pockets. This is the crux of “social justice” and all the other wonderful sounding phrases he throws around like candy.

That’s the whole point of his administration using an iron fist to impose its will upon the financial sector and limit the executive pay. This is the whole reason for the bailouts and the executive pay caps, and all that crap. It’s also the reason this administration is reaching into every sector of the American economy that it can in order to exert its cranky influence and control the every day life of every American citizen.

It’s no different than the British monarchy trying to control the colonies to the extent that led up to our fight for independence. At the time, the Crown was taxing everything it could (which wasn’t even close to the taxes we’re paying today in America), all the while refusing to give the colonists any representation within the British government. The people felt like they were slaves to the Crown, which in fact, they were. They were SUBJECTS, not citizens.They had no voice. They had no say in what went on. Their “leaders” were not accountable to them.

Is it any different today? Between the administration pushing agendas that the vast majority of Americans are NOT for, and Congress – our supposed ‘elected representatives’ – NOT listening to We the People and pushing the administration’s agenda blindly, is it any wonder that there is serious discontent out there? Is it any wonder that We the People are becoming louder and louder in expressing our disdain with the out of control practices of the government that refuses to reign itself in and listen to those that have elected them?

The more I read from the Founding Fathers of this great nation, the more I am inspired by their words, and the more I realize how observant they were. Take for instance this quote from Samuel Adams, that seems to have been written specifically for us, at this current crossroad in political philosophies…

“It is observable, that though many have disregarded life, and contemned liberty, yet there are few men who do not agree that property is a valuable acquisition, which ought to be held sacred. Many have fought, bled, and died for this, who have been insensible to all other obligations. Those who ridicule the ideas of right and justice, faith and truth among men, will put a high value upon money. Property is admitted to have an existence, even in the savage state of nature. The bow, the arrow, and the tomahawk; the hunting and the fishing ground, are species of property, as important to an American savage, as pearls, rubies, and diamonds are to the Mogul, or a Nabob in the East, or the lands, tenements, hereditaments, messuages, gold and silver of the Europeans. And if property is necessary for the support of savage life, it is by no means less so in civil society. The Utopian schemes of leveling, and a community of goods, are as visionary and impracticable, as those which vest all property in the Crown, are arbitrary, despotic, and in our government unconstitutional. Now, what property can the colonists be conceived to have, if their money may be granted away by others, without their consent?” – Samuel Adams

He saw through the hypocrisy and stupidity of socialism, although they didn’t call it that then. He saw that there was NO difference in monarchy and state-ism. They were the same. He also saw that just like in a monarchy, in a state-controlled economy the greed of the one controlling it knows no bounds. It goes too far… and not far enough. It goes too far in the view of the citizens and in the view of the state, it doesn’t go far enough.

Just like then, and throughout history in general… in the view of We the People – and the Founding Fathers, the current Congress and administration have gone TOO far… but apparently, in their own view, they haven’t gone far enough!

There is no reform… The answer is to fire them all… start over.
