TEA PARTY PARTICIPANTS ARE A JOKE!

In a recent speech President Obama commented on the rallys that took place around the country on April 15. He said he was "amused" by the rallys and that these people "should be saying thank you"!

This comment speaks volumes about President Obama and his view of American citizens. He openly mocks the American people who don't agree with his agenda and who choose to express that dissent. He prefers to portray those who disagree with him as "radicals" and "fringe groups", not recognizing that the Tea Parties represent a diverse sample of American society.

His comment reveals his lack of respect for our democratic form of government. His socialist ideology espouses the philosophy that an elite group makes the decisions for the majority of the people and thus the government obtains complete control over it's citizens. That ideology is the reason he said that the Tea Party people should be saying "thank you" to him because "their taxes have actually been lowered". This is a perversion of the truth and another Obama word game. The ultimate result of his agenda is going to raise everyone's taxes!

President Obama has no respect for our Constitution. He knows that many of his actions are in direct violation of the Constitution. He doesn't recognize the right of the American people to openly disagree with the prevailing administration or the policies of the government. He thinks we should all fall in line behind him and not question his policies or his decisions regardless of their constitutional validity.

When President Bush was asked about how he felt about demonstrations against his administration, he responded that they had a constitutional right to express their opinions. He never made derogatory comments about the people who disagreed with him.

President Obama's comment makes it alarmingly clear that he is not sympathetic to the wishes and concerns of the American people, and those that openly express their dissent only "amuse" him. They are so insignificant to him that he jokes about them in his speeches.

That "joke" is about you and me! In November the ballot box needs to show that the "joke" has a voice, and we say "NO".

WHO IS WORKING FOR US?

With Congress' back door passing of the Health Care bill, I ask myself, "Is there anyone in Congress who is actually working for his constituents and not just for himself?" It's all about power, greed and getting re-elected to the gravy train that Congress is riding! It's not about the health and well being of the American people.

We now have a group of "elites" who think they have the right to make decisions for us as to how we will live our lives and what we will be able to do with the money we earn! Of course, what they choose for us is not what they choose for themselves. President Obama is living like a "king" and acting like a "ruler" instead of an elected official of the American people. Congress is acting like they are "aristocrats" who who have the right to direct our lives.

Now WE ARE THE PEASANTS who serve these people. They spend our money. They tromp on our Constitution and the limits it places upon them. They disregard our freedoms. They tell us that they know best what is good for us. Now, they also control our medical care. What else can they get control of? Unfortunately, as we continue to march toward socialism, they will be able to control even more!

Our only recourse is to VOTE THEM OUT OF OFFICE before they manage to take that right away from us too! We need to put people in office who respect the Constitution and respect the ability of the American people to control their own lives and their own destiny.

YOU HAVE TO LISTEN CAREFULLY!

Words have specific meanings. The words uttered by President Obama need to be carefully evaluated in order to determine what he really means by those words. For example, he recently announced the expansion of offshore oil and gas exploration in selected areas off the coasts of the United States. Many people felt it was "about time" that offshore drilling was allowed. Actually, he only promised "new exploration", not actual drilling.

The policies announced by the President will actually decrease and delay future US oil production! The President actually cancelled 4 leases off the Alaska coast that were planned to begin producing oil within the next 2 years. He delayed a planned lease off Virginia until at least 2012, and placed some areas of our coastlines off limits for at least 7 years. There is absolutely no guarantee that any new drilling will ever occur. Secretary Ken Salazar's Interior Dept. still has full discretion to never allow a single drop of oil to be harvested from these waters.

President Obama's goal is not to create private sector jobs for Americans and new revenues for financially strapped states. His real goal was expressed by the President's Energy Secretary, Steven Chu, (another radical) when he said "Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels of Europe". Gas in Europe is about $8 per gallon!

The President is very good at using his words to imply one thing, while actually meaning something totally different. He is an orator who uses words to distort and deceive, so that his true intentions are masked and hidden. You must listen very carefully to what he says and then evaluate his words by his actions. The words often mean something different to him than they do to you!
