The Racist President

Politicians are always out there tryin’ to get everybody to vote for them.  Sometimes, they’d put out ads that was meant for certain folks more than others.  But they was always shootin’ for every vote.  Looks like them days are over.  You ain’t never gonna  hear about this change on the evening news either.  Not even on Fox or CNN.  That’s ‘cause it’s happened on the internet.  This President only wants certain folks to vote for him.  President Obama’s re-election website is neatly carved up to divide and conquer.  Don’t take my word for it, Clyde.  Look it up yourself.  Just type this on your computer: http://www.barackobama.com  Then look under Groups.

He’s got a section for “young activists” who are supposed to form up campus rallies.  Kinda sounds like the socialist rallies of the 60s to me.  And he tells ‘em how he wants to spend billions on education and increase student aid and he wants to give it to them direct.  Gee, free money for the young’uns. 

He’s got a section just for Latinos.  Says he wants to “reform” immigration.  He thinks we should let the illegals stay for free medical care, free education… and their vote.  Says he wants more Pell Grants so them illegals can get that free education.  Gee free money.

He’s got a section for LGBT Americans.  That would be lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender, Clyde.  ‘Course sometimes they call it GLBT.  Depends on which one’s in charge I guess. 

He’s even got a section for “people of faith.”  Now that’s down right funny, ain’t it.  This here’s the President that only goes to church when he’s campaigning.  And the same one that just got done attacking the religious beliefs of some folks.  You reckon folks will take this section serious?

And at the top on his list is the biggest group of hyphenated Americans, African Americans.  Now everybody knows Obama got to be President mostly ‘cause he got way over 90% of the black vote.  That ain’t racist, neighbor.  It’s just a fact.  Yep, he’s got this section to urge all black folks to “check out new ways you can take ownership of this (his) campaign.”   Reckon he’s right cocky now that his biggest threat is gone.  That would of been Herman, of course.  Too bad politics is the dirtiest business on Earth.

But did you notice anything missing there?  I’ll help ya, neighbor.  He ain’t got no white folks section.  Oh, he’ll talk to ever’body in a crowd, but it’s plain as the horns on a bull, he’s not only wagin’ class warfare with a strategy of divide and conquer, but he’s racist too. 

You know, back some years, Osama Bin Laden said he was gonna work to bring down our country from within.  Anybody remember that?  I think it’s time to wake up neighbor, ‘fore our country is gone.

Americans Attacked by Washington

Most folks ‘round here still think of the good ole US of A as “the land of the free.”  You know, we can say what we want, live where we want and worship like we choose.  Well, leastwise if we pay our taxes.  Truth be told, little by little, we’re losin’ it neighbor.  And if the only thing you do is watch TV “news,” you might just miss that story amongst the advertising and self-promotion.  You know, I ain’t askin’ nobody to just believe me.  But you can still read about it in the papers.  And you young’uns know how to do that stuff on your phones.  

Anyway, I hear tell the government has issued hundreds of “regulations” and “guidelines” in the last 3 years that’s affected ever’thing from soup to nuts.  We never hear ‘bout it ‘cause it don’t affect us direct.  They’re mostly controlling companies or some function of the State.  Sometimes we do hear about it ‘cause it affects our schools.  Like when they “offer” money to help the schools, but only if the school will teach what they want or hire somebody (without funding) or some kinda strings like that.  Them people in Washington just wanna control everything.  We’re slowing losin’ it.

The latest attack ain’t from the EPA or one of them other alphabets.  This one’s from none other than the US Dept. of Health and they’re attackin’ religious beliefs!  Yep, I know that sounds like some kinda sick joke, but it’s true.   Health Secretary Sebelius says all employers gotta pay for abortions and birth-control even if that act goes against their religious beliefs.  Y’all remember Kathy Sebelius, don't you?  Obama moved her to Washington from Kansas.  Liberal, I think.

Well, Sebelius says it ain’t her fault.  Reckon we heard that phrase a bunch in the last 3 years.  Anyway, she says she’s just enforcing that ObamaCare law that Congress passed.  Really?  You tryin’ to tell me she actually read through that thing?  So what other surprises she find?  

Even some Democrats are saying they never woulda voted for that dog if they’d known what all was in it.  That’s what Congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper said.  She’s a Democrat outta Pennsylvania.  Reckon that confirms my suspicions, neighbor.  Them folks in Congress never did read the darned thing ‘fore they voted for it.  Makes you wonder if they can read at all.

So now the truth about ObamaCare is finally beginning to come out.  And part of that truth is that charitable and religious organizations (like hospitals and charities and colleges) are gonna be forced to pay for stuff that’s against their beliefs!  ObamaCare is gonna make them pay for abortions and “day after” pills(abortion pills) amonst other stuff.  And here we thought the Constitution guaranteed the government couldn’t interfere with religion.  It ain’t just the “A” list(atheists, anarchists and ACLU) that’s tryin’ the push religion out of America.  It’s the socialists too.  They even add sneak attacks into health issues.  

I ain’t afraid to say my piece about what’s happening to my country.  So what about the rest of the REAL 99%?  Do folks really want this to become the USSA?

More Corporate Welfare

The other mornin', me and a couple neighbors was having breakfast down at Mildred's Cafe.  The subject of welfare came up.  As you might guess, the conversation got goin' right good.  PC folks woulda called it "a spirited discussion."  Reckon, we did get a might loud.  One young fella musta overheard us.  After he paid his bill, he stopped by our table and said, "You guys are all on welfare you know. You get Social Security,  Medicare and stuff and all those farm subsidies too."  Well sir, we let that whipper-snappy have his say, even if he'd no idea what he was talkin' about.

I gotta admit, the subject changed a bit after that.  We got to talkin' about all them government farm subsidy programs.  Some of them subsidies only affects folks in certain areas.  You know, like peanuts.  That’s growed in the South, so farmers from Georgia to Texas might benefit.  But they only get about 3% of the money in that golden pot run by the government.

Most of that subsidy money goes for grain.  In fact, grains get over 80% of the pie.  And the biggest part of that is for corn.  With all them ethanol mandates and such, it pays good to grow corn!  Trouble is, me and the neighbors don't get diddly-squat.  Mostly them subsidies go to folks in Spokane and Miami and Washington DC.  Yep. You heard me right friend.  That's where the folks that own them big farming corporations live.  They sure 'nough ain't from around here! 

So what me and my neighbors decided is the government could save about $8 billion a year if they cut out the welfare to them big farm corporations.  That'd help that National Debt thing don't ya know.  Most of us wouldn't miss the few bucks we might get.  Something to think about neighbor.  While you’re thinkin’.  I’ll just mosey on over to the couch for a snooze.

Sucking Up To Heroes

Well neighbor, I just got jabbed in another nerve. Ya, I know, nothing new. Lately I been reading a bunch about a certain President(and his wife) and how they’ve been sucking up to every one of our military heroes they can find. He’s been out there claimin’ how he brought the troops home and she’s been claimin’ how great he is for doin’ it. But you know, ‘tween the 2 of ‘em they got zero experience with the military. You gotta serve or be close family to somebody that served to do that. Shakin’ the hand of a hero don’t make you one.

Now I know, the President gets to take the credit (or the blame if he ain’t a liberal) for what happens on his watch. Don’t matter none that the last President actually made the commitment on when to bring the troops home. (And he was criticized for it to boot.) Don’t matter that it was the last President that set everything up so’s our Seal Team could arraign for Osama to meet Allah. And you know that while President Obama was sucking up to the troops, he didn’t say nothin’ about the millions of folks that ain’t got jobs or how folks are still loosin’ their homes. Meanwhile, them media folks was too busy watchin’ for them Republican candidates to make a slip of the tongue.

Back in the day, folks (including the President) had to earn their accolades. (Betcha didn’t know
I knew that word, did you?) ‘Course that was also in the day when the President answered direct to us and Congress, not his buddies. And back then, Congress watched him like a hawk instead of just worrying ‘bout how to keep their fancy jobs with all them perks.

Me and a bunch of my veteran buddies are just hopin’ and prayin’ folks now days are smart enough to see through all that bullshit that’s slung from Washington. Reckon we’re hopin’ for some real change. You know, an America of (all) the people, by (all) the people and FOR (all) the people. It can’t come too soon. This here country can’t last the way it’s been goin’. Well, that’s what I think.

Corporate Welfare & Disasters

You ever get a hankerin’ for a 400hp car that could get ya from whoa to 60 mile an hour in 6 seconds AND get 100 miles to a gallon to boot? Ain’t that every teenager’s dream? (And maybe a certain geezer too.) Well, they got ‘em now, son. ‘Course they ain’t cheap. ‘Bout $100,000 for one. And them dealers ain’t in every town like Fords and Chevys. But it ain’t no joke either. This here Fisker Automotive Co. out there in California is sellin’ a sport sedan out there right now.

I hear tell these Fisker fellas got some mighty slick engineers too. Like instead of designin’ that car from scratch, first they went shoppin'. They looked for what they could use that somebody else already made. You know, like door handles and windshield wiper motors and such. Tain’t like they stole nothin’. They’re just payin’ to use somebody else’s parts. Just like you and me neighbor. A trip to the Ben Franklin might save a body one heap of work, ya know?

Reckon they got some slick businessmen too. I mean, you’d think somebody that sells $100,000 cars, could do it without getting no government bailouts or loans. Sure over my head neighbor, but back in 2009, the good old US Department of Energy give ‘em a loan for $529,000,000! A little extra change in your pocket can't hurt none.

That Dept. of Energy is real good at loanin’ out our money. They also give a $465,000,000 loan to Tesla Motors. Maybe you ain’t heard of them either. Tesla is another California company that makes an electric roadster that sells for even more than that Fisker car. And even though it cost more, only 2 people can ride at a time.

Nobody's sayin' when these loans gotta get paid back. Ain’t even heard if they gotta pay interest on 'em. Anyway, that Energy Dept. got a heap more money stashed away to “loan” to big companies like Fisker and Tesla. In fact, they got $8 billion set aside, all totaled!

Here’s the best part neighbor. First them politicians in Washington fixed it to “loan” our money to companies that make expensive cars. Them that us folks can’t afford. Shucks, I could buy 2 cars and a new diesel pickup 4x4 for what one of them cars cost. And now, they’re playin’ games with the money that’s supposed to help them folks that got wiped out by disasters like that Joplin tornado and that hurricane Irene. Them Republicans want to take somewhere's 'round $1 billion of that automobile company bailout/loan/welfare money and use it for the disaster relief. Naturally the Democrats don’t cotton much to that idea and plan to block that disaster aid until Republicans give the welfare money back to the big corporations. They’d rather add that $1 billion to the national debt instead.

Now hang on there a minute Jethro. I know I’m getting’ old, but this here is a might confusin’. Democrats are for the working man. Republicans are for big business. Ain’t that what we been hearing all these years? So why are Republicans taking money from big business to give to folks in need? And why are Democrats holdin’ out until big business gets their welfare back? Reckon I gotta go over to the couch and ponder this for a while. In the meantime, remember, I am…
