In 2008 he promised that if
we elected him, his presidency would salve the wounds of racial division that
have plagued our nation since reconstruction.
Four years later not only is the racial divide greater than at any time
in recent history, but it has been
augmented by a gender gap and class warfare all actively encouraged by an
administration that was supposed to unite us.
Candidate Obama promised a
transparent administration, but during deliberations on his signature
legislation, healthcare reform, Republicans were literally locked out of
participation in the negotiations. And
to add to the new “openness,” the candidate also promised that all bills would
be posted on the internet for at least five days prior to his signing them into
law as President. Not one bill has so
appeared and even Democrat legislators who voted for the new Affordable Care
Act have admitted to not having read it before voting for it.
Mr. Obama promised in 2008
that if the economic stimulus package were passed, he would be able to keep
unemployment below 8% by pouring money into infrastructure where there were
thousands of “shovel ready jobs.” The
unemployment rate has held at 8.3 percent until Sept. of this year and even
then dropped to only 7.8%. In the end,
even Pres. Obama openly admitted that the jobs were not as “shovel ready” as he
had imagined.
As President, Mr. Obama
promised that the 2010 Census would be completely independent, but when 2010
rolled around, he hired Acorn to conduct it, a company that had been indicted
in fourteen states for voter fraud and other illegal activities.
Instead of defending the
Constitution, Pres. Obama has a remarkable track record of trying to circumvent
it. When “Cap & Trade” was voted
down in the Senate, he ordered the EPA to issue a ruling enacting it. When the administration’s plans to regulate
the internet were rejected in both houses of Congress and the courts, Pres.
Obama ordered the FCC simply to reclassify it.
When the Debt Commission was rejected by the Senate, Pres. Obama merely
issued an executive order creating it.
And, finally, when both the House and Senate passed legislation lifting
the prohibition on drilling in the Gulf, the administration re-imposed it by
another executive order.
What makes this election the
most important in our lifetime is the fact that in past elections we could say,
at most, that we were at a “fork” in the road.
Democrats and Republicans were not terribly far apart; both basically
supported free market capitalism and the Constitution. But today we are at a “T” section: a vote for Pres. Obama and the Democrats
means a continuation of the social radicalization of our society and an economy
directed by an all-powerful central authority.
A vote for Romney/Ryan and the Republicans means a return to minimal
government interference in our free market economy and a tax system that
encourages broader participation and individual freedom.
Vote for freedom! Elect Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan!
