Obama is a Sticky Lollipop

Not my child, but this pic is close.

I was driving with my youngest sitting behind me and he said, "OK, Mom." I knew this meant he was done with whatever was in his hand and he wanted to give it to me. I quickly reached back, knowing that if I didn't he would throw whatever it was onto the carpet of the car. I suddenly realized that he was giving me the lollipop that he had gotten at the doctor's office, head-first, and that he had not made much progress on it. So I found myself with a large, wet, sticky lollipop in the palm of my hand, and a long car ride ahead. After handling the difficulty, I got to thinking.

Obama's election was full of hope for many. A number of the Americans who voted for him wanted a change from politics as usual, and wanted the transparent and ethical administration that he promised. What they got was an unpleasant surprise. Most of Obama's cabinet and czars came from the corrupt Chicago world of machine politics and conducted themselves worse than their counterparts in the Bush administration. Obama's health reform consisted not of reform but of a government takeover on an impossible scale. Hundreds of governmental bodies were created to oversee doctors who will be reduced to little more than government bureaucrats. Those that stay in the business, that is. Obama voters laughed and scoffed at us when we warned that he was a socialist. How absurd, they said. How do you like increasing spending and tripling debt in one year to the point of rivaling European socialist countries. How's THAT for socialism. Do you believe us now? Do you believe now that our country is better off with socialism, the system that punishes people for working hard? Is that the America of our hopes and dreams? Or is that a country of immature babies. A place where people don't believe in themselves, don't believe in equal opportunity. Only equal outcomes, never mind who's property is stolen to make it happen.

No. Americans got a gooey, sticky lollipop thrust into the palm of their hands and they recoiled. How much, we will see tomorrow.

Remember to get out and VOTE.

Yes, this election will be a referendum on Obamacare.

Some disagree, but of course it is. Obamacare is the crown jewel that Dems stuffed down our throats in their zeal to "fundamentally change America". It is the poison pill that continues to paralyze private industry, ruining the job market. It was the work of ideologues, to do something so destructive during an economic downturn.

We don't want to find ourselves lying helpless in a hospital bed like 37-year-old Jaimie Merrett, while our life support systems are turned off by an indifferent health "care" behemoth.

Why do we have to break the best health care system in the world! People FLY HERE from all over the world for care. We need to throw out all politicians who do not believe in American exceptionalism. Our politicians should be rooting for us, not cutting us off at the knees then laughing about it.

Freedom will live in America, November 2nd

By electing conservatives, we hope to infuse the GOP with new ideas and common sense. That they are not there already is no surprise. Sadly, we citizens bear the weight to “be” the media, and we must “be” the support for good candidates. Ronald Reagan turned things around for Republicans back when. Obama turned things around, badly, for the Dems. A few good folks in politics can have a far reaching effect. We must never again give over our watchdog duties. The professional media is in collusion with corrupt politicians. That leaves us. Let’s not bash the GOP days before an election. Let’s improve it. There is so much to be disappointed in. Let’s move forward with a positive attitude and courage and resolve. We will NOT give up on this country. We can’t, actually. We must stand for freedom here, because if freedom dies in America, we have no place left to go.

This is my response on GP to a commenter who observes that the GOP could do much better in the PR department.

A View of Panicky Desperation

That's the way I saw Joy and Whoopie's storming off of their own television set because they couldn't handle Bill O'Reilly's truth. Their lack of ability to answer him coherently led them to create a scene in order to distract from the topic they had lost control of.

What I think really happened here is that O'Reilly hit them square in the face with the fact that 70% of Americans agree with him that the 9/11 victory mosque is inappropriate, given that muslims attacked us on 9/11, and that Obama is on the wrong side of that issue. This, right after he bested them by stopping them from blaming Bush for the bad economy, saying the statute of limitations had run out on the Bush argument, and that Americans rightly blame Obama for wasting a trillion of our borrowed dollars on stimulus that did not help and probably harmed the economy.

Time to hit the screech button. Time to storm off the set. Time to swear "bleep"! I read Whoopie's lips while she was swearing. They really should put a black rectangle over her mouth when she talks like that. Those kinds of remarks certainly don't deserve any air time.

But hey, let them storm and stomp. The leftists will follow their lead on November 3rd and 4th and thereafter. Shout and rail all you like, lefties. Americans are about to take back control of this great nation and you had better get ready.
