We are still fighting the same issues Ronald Reagan warned us about prior to his presidency: excessive government spending and regulations, taxation, a faltering economy, devalued dollar, high unemployment, approaching inflation, threats from abroad and weak national leadership.

 Now we have additional issues in terms of one party control (despite Scott Brown’s election) absent checks and balances, a lack of presidential or congressional leadership, and an increase in secrecy not only in the White House but also in Congress.

 When President Carter was in office the OPEC cartel had cut oil production and raised prices, a problem compounded because Carter had closed off exploration for oil and gas in Alaska. Now another Democrat in the White House has intentionally reduced oil production by refusing to let oil companies drill in or around America. Gas prices are rising again moderated only by today’s massive unemployment.

 In 1979, Islamic radicals invaded the American Embassy and took sixty-six Americans hostage. Today President Obama’s failed overtures and veiled threats against Iran have been laughed at by the Iranian government. Development of nuclear weapons in Iran continues because of Obama’s lack of leadership: another clueless Jimmy Carter.

 There is a growing loss of confidence in the government’s ability to solve problems. President Obama called it a “deficit of trust.”  The people do not trust President Obama or his Democratic Party for cause.

 America is a great country but it isn’t being run like a great country. President Obama repeatedly apologizes for America and bows before foreign government leaders. I’m sick and tired of my president apologizing for America.

 The United States of America is the bastion of Capitalism. Our Liberty and Capitalism paved the way for American Exceptionalism.

 What other country has sent its military to distant lands to fight for freedom and asked nothing in return. World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Iraq and Afghanistan are all familiar place names now.  America’s Liberty and Capitalism drove the economic engine that allowed the United States to aid the people of each of these countries. Yet, the people of the United States asked nothing in return.

 The American people are exceptional. When disasters occur, whether in Malaysia, former Yugoslavia, Mexico or, currently Haiti, the American people become the most generous people on earth. Our government’s foreign aid, while questionable at times, serves a purpose in keeping the free world strong.

 The President’s unprecedented attack on banks is a classic example of a socialist or fascist strategy to define an enemy of the State and persecute them. Hitler did it to the Jews. Stalin did it to his enemies and Mao to his opponents. Saddam Hussein did it to the Kurds and Shiites. President Obama is doing it to the banks in the name of collecting TARP tax money.

 The problem with this strategy is all the financial firms except AIG, Citi-Bank, General Motors, Chrysler, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have repaid TARP loans. Obama has exempted the last four companies from the tax. Why? Because Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are Government Sponsored Entities, General Motors and Chrysler are union owned, AIG and CitiBank are owned by the government. President Obama is attacking only the private sector.

 To paraphrase Winston Churchill:      

 Liberals and Progressives represent the danger of tyranny as seen in the attempted take over of the health care industry, as seen in President Obama’s attack on the financial industry and as seen in the complete takeover of the so-called mainstream news media.

 They represent a future of national bankruptcy through uncontrolled spending and borrowing, a future of high inflation caused by the massive printing of dollars of decreasing value. Obama’s budget provides the country with a $1.556 trillion deficit in 2010 with another $1.267 trillion deficit in 2011. Over the next five years, the Obama administration forecasts $5.08 trillion in debt, up by 35% more than projected one year ago.

 It is imperative that we take back our country at the next election. Never again can Liberals or Progressives be allowed to harm our national security, our financial security and our national family’s security. Liberals and Progressives are fast becoming domestic enemies of the United States.
