In November of 2008, I started this web site with the tag line "Providing direction in an increasingly Liberal America" because I was disillusioned, disenfranchised and disappointed in the political path this Country was following. As a result of President Bush's big spending, big government policies and stalemated conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, many Americans were hungry for a new direction, and rightly so. However, a lot of Conservatives and Libertarians such as myself were becoming increasingly nervous about the crop of Presidential candidates and the future prospects for our Country. Who would have imagined that only 16 months later, I would be changing the tagline to reflect a sweeping shift to the right in America, courtesy of none other than Barack Hussein Obama. Thank you, Mr. President!
The picture is emerging of a President who couldn't care less about American wage earners. He is fully focused on providing new entitlements for the hard core unemployed: People who owe no payroll related taxes, and have no health insurance primarily because they receive no wages. They are the same citizens to whom he wants to give tax credits and forgive tuition. He also wants to suspend foreclosures for those foolish enough to buy what they couldn't afford. In short, he wants to reward failure, and punish those who have been responsible and successful. It doesn't matter if his policies are job killers. The people he intends to help, don't have jobs to kill. This is about reparations. This is about sticking it to "the man".
The Democrats have decided to re-name the Republicans the Party of No. That’s it. That’s their strategy to avoid an electoral debacle shaping up to be as bad for the Party of Hope and Change as 1994 was for the Party of Grope and Sleaze. Many have tried this strategy before. Harry Truman ran against the “Do-Nothing Congress” in 1948. Given their legislative and economic record, it makes sense the Democrats want the American people to spend the election year looking at someone else besides the Denizens of Chicago’s 51st Ward.
