DANGEROUS AGENDA

So many current articles and arguments are being written as if the Democrat liberal Senators and Representatives were surely responding to reason and logic of basic principles of proven and successful free-market principles and honesty. This trust that “reason will win” represents an almost wistful but naïve belief and hope that Congress somehow still follows the unwritten code to uphold the will of the people. The present “will of the people” (by polls) is strongly against the present push by the left-wing Democrats to force their religion of collective socialism “down the throats” of the citizens of the United States.

The present Democrat party leaders are so convinced that since they “won” they are entitled now only to be led by their philosophical system that they no longer have to waste their time in governing by what the country majority wants, which is freedom of citizens to make their own choices. It is side-stepping the Constitution, and the Democrats have announced intentions to suppress free speech and ownership of guns and to nationalize the profession of medicine like it has the major automobile and insurance companies of this nation.

How often did we as children hear our parents remind us that “Beauty is as beauty does.”? Paraphrased one might write, “Honest is as honest does.” How about, “Actions speak louder than words.” Or, “What you do rings so loudly in my ears, I cannot hear what you say.”(Russian)  Another appropriate maxim from a well-known Mormon leader, Brigham Young, asserts, “Honest hearts produce honest actions.” Each of these cogent proverbial sayings relate that what one does is for all to see, while what one says is for those who believe (or want to believe) without comparing or checking the actions that result from those pronouncements. In other words, after the assertions, intent is registered in the subsequent, related actions.

The campaign promises of “transparency,” “bipartisanship,” and “no tax increases for middle-class Americans” are just three of the many promises by Barack Obama in his pre-election campaign, which he has assiduously broken. So soon as he ‘won,’ he has proved the falsehood of his promises by working feverishly and rapidly to produce programs of enormous cost and control, all by secret writing and planning (behind locked doors) and not only without Republican support but also without any inclusion of input by any Republican. The necessary tax increases to carry out his horrendous program are so blatant that even fifth graders can understand them.

Barack Obama and his left-wing, liberal cohorts in the Congress have followed a radical liberal agenda in spite of the opposition of the outnumbered Republicans and the overwhelming rejection by a majority of Americans as measured by non-partisan polls. The on-going pronouncements to ‘sell’ the Democrat programs are inaccurate, misleading, and downright deceitful. It all reflects the subterfuge of the election campaign in which the Obama declarations were made to sound centrist and “center-right” in order to delude and deceive the voters who have demonstrated in the past that they have defeated clearly-stated socialist programs. This technique of say-anything-to-get-elected was clearly spelled out in the writings of the communist writer, Saul Alinsky, who was admired by B. Obama.

The growth and power of this great nation have demonstrated the strength of the free-enterprise system and the rule of law for the first two hundred thirty years of the United States and its capitalism base. The increasingly-obvious radical left-wing socialist agenda is the antithesis of the founding principles of individualism and ownership of private property defined in the Constitution. This collectivist way of thinking is foreign to our nation, and it has created an administration that is a “domestic enemy” of our Constitution and this country. Four decades ago communists were hunted down here.

The US is an honest nation, and it opposes fraud. Yet it has been tricked into believing that the “change” and “hope” proclaimed by B. Obama would be for its benefit. What benefit is it to have the present citizenry and their many progeny generations saddled with a national debt that has been increased in nine months to a level greater than all the previous administrations since George Washington put together? What benefit is it to vastly increase the size and power of government over individual citizens? What good is it to fraternize with foreign enemies of the country and weaken the national defense? In a word, it is all thoroughly appalling. It is not Obama’s privilege totally to alter the successful system of the United States in order to accommodate his erroneous but deeply believed collectivism.

Hopefully the majority of people in this country are becoming aware of what I have just described, and hopefully also they will be moved to do something about it for their own good and survival: FREE, like how we grew up.
