It’s Not What It Seems

While President Obama focused all his energies on passing the health care bill, the American people watched as the first stimulus bill failed to produce jobs.

While President Obama focused all his energies on passing the financial regulation bill, the American people watched as the second stimulus bill failed to produce jobs.

Now, as President Obama begins his ninth vacation in nineteen months, he proposed a third stimulus bill for small business job creation.

As Albert Einstein said, “insanity” is repeating the same process or steps over and over, and expecting a different outcome.

It is now safe to question the President’s sanity . . . or is it. The first stimulus bill was never about producing jobs, nor was the second stimulus bill nor the third. The stimulus bills were authored by the Apollo Alliance, who included in the bill every progressive-socialist agenda except jobs.

As of 8/6/2010, the government has spent only 58% of the first stimulus package of $862 billion (Recovery.gov still shows the original amount of the first stimulus at $787 billion). The second stimulus bill has failed to make it to Recovery.gov.

The stimulus bills have always been about the socialist agenda of population control by keeping the population dependent on government. How? By not producing jobs. Even President Obama’s recent ban on drilling in the gulf coast had nothing to do with oil but everything to do with the elimination of approximately 100,000 direct and indirect jobs in the gulf.

The health care bill was not about providing better health care for the people. It was about population control through government controlled health care plans, government bureaucracies and special panels, all run by unelected political hacks.

The financial regulation bill was not about trying to prevent another financial meltdown, otherwise why did Congress and President Obama exempt Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from the bill? No, it was all about control. It was all about imposing a socialist agenda over a capitalist market.

What can be expected from a progressive-socialist agenda? First, it is an inhumane political philosophy. How do we know? We turn to history. We turn to the tens of millions of innocent people controlled and ruined by Joseph Stalin. We turn to the million of innocent people whose lives were controlled and ruined by Mao Zedong. We turn to the histories of Idi Amin, Kim Il Sung, Mengistu Haile Mariam, and Pol Pot, to name a few more.

Of course, President Obama’s strategy will be more sophisticated. Approximately 40-50% of the population was dependent on the government before he became President. He only needs to nudge another 20% into that dependency category in order to have voting majorities in the country. What citizen dependent on government largesse will refuse to vote for the party of handouts? We already see it in some minority groups who make up the bulk of government dependents.

Second, it is a pro-tyranny, anti-liberty political philosophy. How do we know? Again, we turn to history. As Mark Levin wrote in his book, Liberty and Tyranny, “The Statist . . . misuses equality to pursue uniform economic and social outcomes. He must continuously enhance his power at the expense of self-government and violate the individual’s property rights at the expense of individual liberty, for he believes that through persuasion, deception, and coercion he can tame man’s natural state and man’s perfection can, therefore, be achieved in Utopia. The Statist must claim the power to make that which is unequal equal and that which is imperfect perfect. This is the hope the Statist offers, if only the individual surrenders himself to the all- powerful state. Only then can the impossible be made possible.”

Third, progressive-socialism is steeped in hatred of everything and anything that is anti-collectivist. It is a pro-fear ideology. It is a political philosophy that divides and attempts to conquer its perceived enemies by race, by class, by religion, by ethnicity; it is no surprise that the Democratic Party was founded as a pro-slavery party. History clearly identifies this ugly stain of the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party still abuses Black Americans through policies that destroyed the Black family. Look at every large urban population center containing large poor government dependent populations and you’ll find large Black populations under Democratic administrations, e.g., Washington, D.C., Detroit, Atlanta, Oakland, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Los Angeles come to mind.

Four, with progressive-socialists, it’s never what it seems to be. Americans have already picked up on President Obama’s consistency of saying one thing and doing another. Like every dictator in history, progressive-socialists must have enemies to attack and blame for perceived problems. Ninteen months into his first administration, President Obama continues to blame George Bush for every conceivable problem.

Progressive-socialists always use the race card. A case in point is Spencer Ackerman, a so-called journalist from the Washington Independent, who urged his fellow journalists “to deflect attention from Obama’s relationship with Wright by changing the subject. Pick one of Obama’s conservative critics, Ackerman wrote, “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.” Progressive-socialist writers are not necessarily “journalists” but they have proven their dishonesty and bias.

Progressive-socialists love taxes. The current administration efforts to tax the top 2% of taxpayers even more aligns with President Obama’s strategy of not producing jobs. The top 2% of taxpayers are the very people who make the investments that helps grow business and create jobs. Raising taxes on the top 2% keeps this money out of the private sector. Keeping money out of the private sector means jobs are not created. Enacting stimulus bills that do not work means jobs are not created.

It’s not what it seems.
