American politicians on the national stage fail to feel the pain of the American. Beyond lip-service and sound bites for the evening news politicians don’t worry about the closing businesses, the failing banks, the violence in the cities, the foreclosed homes or the job losses like those of us ‘down in the trenches.’ Politicians are above the fray. They step up to the microphones and make their meaningless speeches promising whatever they think they have to say at the moment, but the fears most Americans feel are meaningless to them.
That attitude has been GLARINGLY obvious in their timing of the healthcare proposals. While Americans are having trouble meeting their bills Congress and the president have decided it doesn’t matter and they are willing to cram through healthcare and a laundry list of their ‘agenda items’ that will have a devastating impact on the taxes the American people will be facing in the coming years. Nor do they understand that taxing businesses for their ‘cap and trade’ green initiatives will hurt the American people. For some reason Congress and the president fail to grasp that higher taxes on ‘the rich’ means the cost for those taxes will be passed along to those of us who can least afford to pay for them.
And it is getting worse.
You would think it’s not that hard to crack a history book and look at the pages of those who have gone down this tired, worn-out path before and simply learn from their mistakes. No, that would be too easy. Our president feels he needs to make all the mistakes again so he can show us how they SHOULD have been handled in the past. After all, his domestic agenda is such a glaring success story why not turn his attention to foreign affairs and see how badly he can screw those up, too. Again we see the lack of being in touch with the pain of the masses as President Obama starts to dismantle our nuclear arsenal and cut the Defense budget. Did he miss the history pages of the recent past when President Clinton attempted to do the same thing? Doubtful.
The world is ‘nuking up.’ Everyone who wants a nuke seems to be able to get one and at the same time the rest of the world seems to be getting ready for some sort of showdown, our president is telling the world we are dismantling OUR nukes. Why? So the world will think we’re weak and won’t attack us?? Really? And when has that ever been a successful strategy? Did it work for Poland in WWII? France?? Show me one instance where it worked. The answer to that question is: NEVER.
The Democrats are slashing Defense spending at an alarming rate. That will cause the military to have to do with less. Do you remember when our troops had to go to war with Humvees that were under armored? Or do you remember our kids going out to battle without body armor or their families had to buy it for them? I do and I CERTAINLY remember the Democrats tripping over each other in their rush to get to the cameras to tell America what a TRAVESTY it was. Senator Charles Shumer (D-NY) was on every show he could get to saying that very thing. Yet, it was THEIR Defense cuts under Clinton that put our kids out there without the proper equipment. And NOW they are determined to do it again all the while pretending there is no more terror threat to America in the world. Yet five terror threats were broken up in two days INSIDE THE UNITED STATES!!!
So we are back to our Congress and president being out of touch with the pains and fears of the American people. They are not feeling the pain of what we go through as we send our kids off to battle. Why should they? They’re sitting in Washington getting us into these messes. Why should they worry about who has to fight the battles? The only use the DC crowd has for our troops are as political fodder. Our kids will have to go to war again when we are attacked after the FAILURE of the Obama foreign agenda and we’ll be right back where we were after Clinton. Our kids will have to march off to war without the proper equipment again. And there will be the Democrats with their faces stuck in the cameras telling us what a travesty it is. And what a great travesty it TRULY is that these people get their hands on the reins of power, make a mess of it, then sit on the sidelines and give interviews about the very mess they created while others try to clean it up. History keeps repeating itself… Democrats screw it up, Democrats get to critique while serious minded people fix the mess the Democrats made… On and on…
