Democrats the party of Slavery. They fought for it in Lincoln’s day and they have fought for it ever since. A vote for a democrat is a vote to enslave our society and especially our youth.

After all the blood has been shed will there be anyone left standing to take on Obama? Let’s get back on track guys our objective is to DEFEAT OBAMA not beat-up each other. Santorum had it right at last nights CNN debate when he said we need to get back to the real issues and stop this petty infighting. Obama loves it when we take out our own players leaving the playing field littered with dead bodies. This is the only way he can win any election, he has to eliminate any opposition.
I would much prefer to see all the remaining candidates join forces and BLAST Obama day after day with his dismal performance as President. Take aim at Obama and not at each other.

President Obama’s State of the Union address revealed his plan for a new American economy that he claims must be “built to last” through government and financial systems that will ensure “everyone does their fair share.”
“We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by. Or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share,” Obama is slated to say.
Fairness, class warfare, and social justice are bandied about as reasons for mandated wealth redistribution. There has always been wealth disparity in the United States. The Bible even says that the poor will always be with us. But how poor is poor?
“Compare the vision of the poor as presented in the Bible – men without homes, their bodies full of sores, hungry, owning only one tunic – to the circumstances of many poor people in the United States, and the social skewing of the definitions of poverty becomes clear. To be poor in America often means ‘having less than one’s neighbor’ instead of ‘lacking resources necessary for life.

Obama said much the same months ago in a speech delivered in Osawatomie, Kansas, the same city where a century ago, former President Teddy Roosevelt delivered a speech calling for a “New Nationalism.” Roosevelt’s speech extolled the government’s role in promoting social justice and regulating the economy to help the underprivileged, and he criticized some fellow Republicans for refusing to tackle the economic power of the wealthy, which is simply code for more taxes on the rich so that government can continue to give select groups of people goodies from the confiscated goods of others.
What is fair about forcing America to pay for his failed bail-outs that we told him we did not want? What is fair about forcing taxpayers who pay their bills to have to bail-out states and unions who do not? What is fair about increasing our taxes just to pay for wasted government stimulus plans which threw billions if not trillions away on so-called “green jobs”.
Obama calls for the elimination of corporate loop holes in the tax code which he says are not fair but I ask what is fair about the stimulus loop-hole he gave to the teacher’s unions and the Public Employees Unions? What about the loop-hole of giving tax-rebates to people who do not even pay any taxes? How is that fair? I mean how can someone who owes no taxes and pays zero taxes get a rebate check in the mail?
How is it that Obama wants to raise taxes on people who actually pay taxes and ignores all his democrat buddies who refuse to pay taxes like tax cheats Tim Geithner, Charlie Rangel, Jeff Imelt of GE, and Warren Buffet, who owes billions?
What is fair about giving a special tax credit to people with children while those who do not have children have to pay for it? What is fair about taking money from senior citizen’s retirement funds and then turn around and tell them we have to raise the retirement age because there is no money to pay their Social Security benefits? Had the person actually taken the almost 14% of their wages and put it in an interest earning account they would actually have money when they retire as opposed to this “FAIR” plan Obama and the democrats like to promote.
There is nothing fair about Social Security where a system forces producers to pay for non-producers. But the biggest injustice of all was telling our seniors that the money that was being taken from their paychecks was going into a “lock-box” and was an “insurance policy” for their retirement when all along the government knew it was nothing more than a tax and a revenue stream for the government to squander on worthless programs and to buy constituent votes.
Tell me what is fair about almost 50% of the population who take from the system but do not contribute one thin dime for the same system? Why should less than 50% of the population have to pay all the taxes and almost 50% pay nothing? You call that fair? What would be fair is if EVERYONE paid something.
What would be fair would be to cut all tax rebates and subsidies of any kind and begin a flat tax. Eliminate the IRS and the current tax code which is only used to garner political favors and punish producers. If you end all these special tax breaks and rebates and make everyone pay something that would be fair and then the government must be forced to live within its means. Pass a balanced budget amendment which would mandate that congress could not spend more money then they have. Families and businesses must work within a budget so too should Congress. Now that would be fair.
What is fair about forbidding the drilling for oil in the Gulf but subsidizing the drilling for OIL in the Gulf by China and Brazil and Cuba? What is fair about handicapping our industries with onerous EPA regulations and blocking the opening of a Boeing plant by the NLRB or raiding a guitar company just because they are the only non-union shop? What is fair about giving unions huge tax-payer bail-outs at the expense of the average working man? Why should taxpayers be forced to pay for their retirements and benefits just because they refused to do so?
What is fair about having to pay for public employee retirement plans because they were made promises by some politician? Let those politicians who lied to them pay the freight. What is fair about always asking the American people to pony up and the federal Government ever does with less? No matter what, the federal budget grows year after year, in good times and bad. While the rest of the economy struggles the federal government continues to spend, spend and spend.
You want fairness Mr President then how about you and your crooked pals retire and let someone else with integrity take your place? You want fairness Mr President how about you stop beating up the American business person and calling patriotic Americans derogatory names.
You want fairness Mr President how about you stop the flood of illegal activity along our Southern border and instead of suing an American State how about you prosecute those who are breaking and entering our country illegally? You want fairness Mr President how about you call off your NLRB and EPA dogs and allow businesses to run free of onerous government intervention.
And that is my view from the nest. What say you?
But those who are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness. Isaiah 40:31 (BBE)

The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people,
whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not,
so well do, for themselves — in their separate, and individual capacities.
–July 1, 1854 [?] Fragment on Government -
This is a fragment of a much longer quote which you can read here. Here is what Obama said Lincoln said: “That Government should do for people only what they cannot do better by themselves, and no more.” Changes the meaning doesn’t it?

Of our political revolution of ’76, we all are justly proud. It has given us
a degree of political freedom, far exceeding that of any other nation of the earth.
In it the world has found a solution of the long mooted problem, as to the
capability of man to govern himself. In it was the germ which has
vegetated, and still is to grow and expand into the universal liberty of mankind.
–February 22, 1842 Temperance AddressAs I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master.
This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the
extent of the difference, is no democracy.
–ca. August 1, 1858 Fragment on DemocracyUnderstanding the spirit of our institutions to aim at the elevation
of men, I am opposed to whatever tends to degrade them.
–May 17, 1859 Letter to Theodore CanisiusThis is essentially a People’s contest. On the side of the Union, it is a
struggle for maintaining in the world, that form, and substance of government,
whose leading object is, to elevate the condition of men — to lift artificial weights
from all shoulders — to clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all — to afford all,
an unfettered start, and a fair chance, in the race of life.
–July 4, 1861 Message to CongressWhile we must, by all available means, prevent the overthrow of the
government, we should avoid planting and cultivating too many thorns
in the bosom of society.
–March 18, 1864 Letter to Edwin M. StantonIn this great struggle, this form of Government and every form of human
right is endangered if our enemies succeed. There is more involved in this
contest than is realized by every one.
–August 18, 1864 Speech to the 164th Ohio RegimentIt is the eternal struggle between these
two principles — right and wrong — throughout the world. They are the two principles
that have stood face to face from the beginning of time, and will ever continue to
struggle. The one is the common right of humanity and the other the divine right of
kings.
–October 15, 1858 Debate at Alton, IllinoisOn the question of liberty, as a principle, we are not what we have been.
When we were the political slaves of King George, and wanted to be free, we
called the maxim that “all men are created equal” a self evident truth; but now
when we have grown fat, and have lost all dread of being slaves ourselves, we
have become so greedy to be masters that we call the same maxim “a self
evident lie.”
–August 15, 1855 Letter to George RobertsonThere is no grievance that is a fit object of redress by mob law.
–January 27, 1838 Lyceum AddressSo much for the Occupy movement.
Let us then turn this government back into the channel in which the framers
of the Constitution originally placed it.
–July 10, 1858 Speech at ChicagoDon’t interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained,
for it is the only safeguard of our liberties. And not to Democrats alone do I make
this appeal, but to all who love these great and true principles.
–August 27, 1856 Speech at Kalamazoo, MichiganAt what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if
it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If
destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation
of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.
–January 27, 1838 Lyceum Address -
It is apparent from these few quotes the Obama and Lincoln do not share the same ideology.
-
I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man
for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion.
–July 31, 1846 Handbill Replying to Charges of InfidelityTo read in the Bible, as the word of God himself, that “In the sweat of thy
face shalt thou eat bread,” and to preach therefrom that, “In the sweat of other mans
faces shalt thou eat bread,” to my mind can scarcely be reconciled with honest sincerity.
–May 30, 1864 Letter to George Ide and OthersHere is something I do not think we will ever here Obama say:
I fully appreciate the present peril the country is in, and the weight of
responsibility on me.
–December 22, 1860 Letter to Alexander StephensSo as not to belabor this exercise I will leave you with this final quote from Abraham Lincoln which I share wholeheartedly:
I appeal to you again to constantly bear in mind
that with you, and not with politicians, not with Presidents, not with
office-seekers, but with you, is the question, “Shall the Union and shall
the liberties of this country be preserved to the latest generation?”
–February 11, 1861 Speech to Gov. Morton in IndianapolisI have understood well that the duty of
self-preservation rests solely with the American people.
–January 19, 1863 Letter to the Workingmen of EnglandLet us not relinquish our responsibilities to this grand Union as to put our trust in elected officials and office-seekers. This land is your land, this land is my land, we are the caretakers of liberty. It is our responsibility to preserve Liberty to to abandon her on the ash heap of history. Do your part I shall do mine.
