An Open Letter to President Obama

Dear Mr. President:

First of all, I want you to know that I was raised in a democrat household and many of my relatives still vote the party line. Unlike me, they see government as a type of nanny for survival. Many of them enjoyed your recent State of The Union monologue. While I still love them, I do not love your policies and where you are taking our country. Here’s why I don’t vote like my family members:

1-I believe government healthcare will ruin our economy. I believe the private sector is better positioned to run healthcare. The government is a poor business manager. Over the past decade, we have gotten nothing but deficits from our government.

2-Your policy of trying the terrorists in New York is not good. I believe the military tribunals would do a better job in a much safer venue. Contrary to what many say, we are in a war and not some man caused whatever. These people want to kill us and any coddling of them with legal gymnastics will not change their opinion of us.

3-I believe the recent ruling by the Supreme Court to allow businesses to give in political campaigns was the right one. Your may not have known it but a law exists that prohibits foreign governments from giving directly or indirectly into U. S. campaigns. The issue is will we regard this law, just as some have [for example] immigration laws?

4-I believe it was wrong for your party to give Senators Nelson and Landrieu special consideration to vote for their votes. I know you said you knew nothing about it but you would definitely benefit from it. Your party has given many of us a bad taste for politicians and has mobilized many of us to help them need other employment in November 2010.

Well, these are just a few musings of a former democrat. I hope you will reconsider your policies and recognize that small business not government creates jobs. I also want you to know that my family prays for you everyday.

Sincerely,

Frontporchpatriot

Dr. Strangelove Lives

I don’t think the dems realize that Dr. Strangelove is at the helm of the U. S. starship and he is steering us and them on a cutoff course with economic disaster. Whether or not President Obama realizes it, the election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts was a statement against his governance. What part of no (to healthcare, to cap and trade, to granting U. S. citizens rights to terrorists etc.) does he not understand? He ran as a moderate but now governs so far left that he scares many of his previous supporters, as well as myself, a former democrat.
To paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, Obama is a political conundrum, wrapped in a paradox, covered only by a thin layer of ozone. I only hope the republicans don’t try to show their bipartisanship by joining into this ever-increasing wreck. The brave statesmen of years gone by must be spinning in their graves like a top at this man’s disregard and seeming contempt for the constitution. His arrogance and self-centeredness is only exceeded by the tax money he holds in his slush fund or the deficit he has added to since coming into office.

Someone once said, “there can be no great disappointment where there was no great love.” I love this country and suffered to help keep in free. Yet, I now feel the very forces I fought to keep away from us are now becoming part of our government. This is not the change many voted for.

The Brown-Coakley Smackdown!

I am watching the news and with 70% of the votes in, Republican Scott Brown leads Martha Coakley 53% to 46%. It looks like Massachusetts will send a Republican senator to Washington to replace of all people, the late iconic Senator Edward Kennedy. It is appropriate that the same state that helped this country win freedom centuries ago, will now help us regain our freedom.

Many say this election is no referendum on Obama, but that argument loses it power when one looks at the loss of the Kennedy seat. As a regular guy, I am appalled by the Chicago style politics of Mr. Obama. He just does not get it! Neither does the people who are blindly following him over a cliff to political disaster. However, in the midst of all of this, I hope the Republicans get a spine and return to conservative values that most Americans desire.

On the eve of one of the most devastating political defeats in history, Mr. Obama’s “double-down” philosophy will all but insure the defeat of the democrats for at least two presidential election cycles. Again, Mr. Obama does not get it! We don’t want increased taxes, penalties for not having healthcare, buying off politicians, rewarding unions and other onerous policies.

Mr. President, give it up or history will show you as an ideological demagogue who drove your party to obscurity.

Harry, Billy, Obama and Black Talk

Harry Reid’s comment about Obama not talking like a minority and Bill Clinton’s alleged comment about Obama bringing coffee, if it was years ago are interesting. For a longtime, Republicans and conservatives have long been called racists and other things. Never has any liberal commented on Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood, pioneer referring to blacks as ‘weeds of society.’ When will blacks learn that liberals may outwardly give the impression of being their friends but inwardly they could care less. In fact, blacks have been used as pawns for liberalism and no one says anything. Legitimate civil rights legislation won by blacks have been used to gain rights for homosexuals when being black is not the same as being homosexual.
What about when Trent Lott commented supporting Senator Strom Thurmond, he was excoriated and eventually forced to resign. This double standard is a shame and a sham. Yet blacks continue to die from abortion and suffer from liberal policies.
Comments such as the ones by Reid and Clinton should increase the “duh” factor among blacks. How long will they vote for a party that gives empty promises and actually laughs at them in private? How long will a noble race whose ancestors helped make this country great through their toil and sweat, follow a party that helps to destroy their seed? Will blacks continue to be conned, used and laughed at by those who purport to care for them?

Well, ask Harry and Billy…they’ll tell you, maybe.
