Obama Proposes Further Strengthening Government’s Role in Your Life

At what point did we lose it? There was a time in this country, when we believed that we were responsible for ourselves, and if we made it, we made it on our own. And if we failed, we failed on our own.

Those days are long gone.

Barack Obama wants to take $30 billion from Americans who earned it, and give it to people who made poor investment choices, and lost money:

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama called for greater government regulation of the U.S. financial system on Thursday and proposed a new $30 billion economic stimulus plan to help homeowners.

To help homeowners? I’m a homeowner. I don’t want your damn help!

Or does he mean the home owners who speculated in the home market, and lost money when the market tanked? The people who signed loans they knew had ARMs when they didn’t even have JOBs? The people who bought WAY over their heads? Yeah, we responsible tax payers have to subsidize these guys, so no one fails.

“If we can extend a hand to banks on Wall Street when they get into trouble, we can extend a hand to Americans who are struggling through no fault of their own,” Obama said to applause.

I’ll bet they applauded. Like lemmings and drones, I bet they let loose with applause. But it doesn’t take much with Obamatons. They cheer when he blows his nose. Really.

Newsflash for Barack: We should not be handing federal tax dollars over to Wall Street, or anyone else. We should not be giving money for global AIDS research, or food for Zimbabwe, or even relief for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

That is not the role of the federal government.

Protect my rights from foreign invaders and criminals. That’s it. And they are not doing those right.

Predatory Lenders, you say? I don’t think they exist. I have not read an article where a lender put a gun to someone’s head and made them borrow money. If you have that story, send it to me.

Where does Barack plan to get $30 billion from anyway? From you and me.

I repeat:

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until a majority of voters discover that they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury.

We are looking at the enemy of America, and it is us. Something Lincoln said is pertinent here also:

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

We refuse to see the truth. We are destroying ourselves with this dependence on the federal government.
