Living under the regime of Obama the Usurper, it behooves us all to read between the lines and to analyze very carefully every word he says.\u00a0 His weekly radio address of Saturday, September 18, is a good case in point.\u00a0 Let\u2019s analyze his remarks, one paragraph at a time:\u00a0<\/p>\n
First Paragraph<\/span> \u2013 \u201cBack in January, in my State of the Union Address, I warned of the danger posed by a Supreme Court ruling called Citizens United. \u00a0This decision overturned decades of law and precedent. \u00a0 It gave the special interests the power to spend without limit \u2013 and without public disclosure \u2013 to run ads in order to influence elections.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n The State of the Union Address that Obama refers to will be remembered as a singular event in American history.\u00a0 Until that day, no previous president had ever criticized the decisions of the Court as the justices sat, a captive audience, just feet from where he stood.\u00a0 To criticize the Court in that manner is bad enough manners, but to lie about and misrepresent the actions of the Court in that setting is unforgivable and only serves to demonstrate Obama\u2019s unsuitability for the job he purports to hold.\u00a0 His remarks were so shocking that Associate Justice Sam Alito was shown to mouth the words \u201cnot true.\u201d\u00a0 The members of the Court are not obligated to attend the State of the Union Address and it remains to be seen whether members of the Roberts Court will attend future addresses so long as Obama remains in power.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n Second Paragraph<\/span> \u2013 \u201cNow, as an election approaches, it\u2019s not just a theory. \u00a0We can see for ourselves how destructive to our democracy this can become. \u00a0We see it in the flood of deceptive attack ads sponsored by special interests using front groups with misleading names. \u00a0We don\u2019t know who\u2019s behind these ads or who\u2019s paying for them. \u00a0Even foreign-controlled corporations seeking to influence our democracy are able to spend freely in order to swing an election toward a candidate they prefer.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s almost as if Obama is describing the contributor lists from his 2008 campaign which contain tens of thousands of illegal foreign contributions with the names addresses, and occupations of unknowing American contributors assigned to them to make them appear legitimate.\u00a0 In short, we don\u2019t know who is behind Obama and who it was that financed his 2008 campaign.\u00a0 What we do know is that no person or group of persons has ever been more destructive of our republican form of government than those who bought the U.S. presidency for Obama.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Third Paragraph<\/span> \u2013 \u201cWe\u2019ve tried to fix this with a new law \u2013 one that would simply require that you say who you are and who\u2019s paying for your ad. \u00a0This way, voters are able to make an informed judgment about a group\u2019s motivations. \u00a0Anyone running these ads would have to stand by their claims. \u00a0And foreign-controlled corporations would be restricted from spending money to influence elections, just as they were before the Supreme Court opened up this loophole.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Is Obama really serious about having the sponsors of campaign ads identify themselves?\u00a0 How would he react if the name of his principal sponsor, the international Communist George Soros, would suddenly show up hundreds or thousands of times in ads supporting Democratic causes and candidates?\u00a0 And just how would it serve the American people to know who\u2019s paying for a particular ad?\u00a0 Corporations who sponsor ads are merely trying to elect people who will help to maintain an economic environment in which businesses can produce and sell a product at a profit.\u00a0 If television viewers understood that, what sort of informed judgment or motivation would that engender among union members who\u2019ve been taught that profits are a bad thing?\u00a0<\/p>\n Obama\u2019s statement seems to imply that corporations who support free market causes are engaged in some sort of conspiracy against the public interest.\u00a0 Perhaps that\u2019s the looking glass through which a totally unqualified man with a long list of socialist and communist mentors sees the business world.<\/p>\n Fourth Paragraph<\/span> \u2013 \u201cThis is common sense. \u00a0In fact, this is the kind of proposal that Democrats and Republicans have agreed on for decades. \u00a0Yet, the Republican leaders in Congress have so far said \u201cno.\u201d They\u2019ve blocked this bill from even coming up for a vote in the Senate. \u00a0It\u2019s politics at its worst. \u00a0But it\u2019s not hard to understand why.\u201d\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n What Obama is saying is that he\u2019d like to see a system in which special interests that support only Democrats are allowed to spend unlimited amounts of money on liberal and leftist causes.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fifth Paragraph<\/span> \u2013 \u201cOver the past two years, we have fought back against the entrenched special interests \u2013 weakening their hold on the levers of power in Washington. \u00a0We have taken a stand against the worst abuses of the financial industry and health insurance companies. \u00a0We\u2019ve rolled back tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. \u00a0And we\u2019ve restored enforcement of common sense rules to protect clean air and clean water. \u00a0We have refused to go along with business as usual.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n The truth is, Obama has done just the opposite of what he says.\u00a0 By appointing SEIU lawyer Craig Becker to a seat on the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), he has fully endorsed the concept of putting the fox in charge of the henhouse.\u00a0 And in promoting the AFL-CIO\u2019s \u201ccard check\u201d scheme he has fully endorsed the use of strong-arm tactics in union organizing drives, forcing workers to vote for union representation against their own self-interests.\u00a0 While claiming to have taken a stand against the worst abuses of the financial industry and health insurance companies, Obama endorses the violent actions of SEIU thugs, AFL-CIO goons, and ACORN, as well as the unethical and self-serving excesses of teachers unions, and trial lawyers.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sixth Paragraph<\/span> \u2013 \u201cNow the special interests want to take Congress back, and return to the days when lobbyists wrote the laws. \u00a0And a partisan minority in Congress is hoping their defense of these special interests and the status quo will be rewarded with a flood of negative ads against their opponents. \u00a0It\u2019s a power grab, pure and simple. \u00a0They\u2019re hoping they can ride this wave of unchecked influence all the way to victory.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Obama\u2019s charge that the special interests want to \u201creturn to the days when lobbyists wrote the laws\u201d is clear evidence that he knows no more about the workings of government than the average fourth-grader.\u00a0 Had he spent his time in the Illinois State Senate doing something other than planning his run for the U.S. Senate, and had he spent his brief few months in the Senate doing something other than planning his run for the White House, he might be aware that most of what is passed into law in Congress and the state legislatures originates with lobbyists.\u00a0<\/p>\n The right of the people to petition the Congress for redress of grievances, guaranteed in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, is a right that is most often exercised through lobbyists.\u00a0 Of course, having been an instructor in Constitutional law at the University of Chicago, as he claims to have been, one would expect him to have some idea of that concept… but apparently not.<\/p>\n Seventh Paragraph<\/span> \u2013 \u201cWhat is clear is that Congress has a responsibility to act. \u00a0But the truth is, any law will come too late to prevent the damage that has already been done this election season. \u00a0That is why, any time you see an attack ad by one of these shadowy groups, you should ask yourself, who is paying for this ad? Is it the health insurance lobby? The oil industry? \u00a0The credit card companies?\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n The America-hating George Soros?\u00a0 ACLU benefactor Peter Lewis?\u00a0 The AFL-CIO?\u00a0 The NEA?\u00a0 The radical left AARP?\u00a0 No one but a dedicated Marxist, or a complete ignoramus, would ever assume universal malevolence on the part of health insurance companies, oil companies, and credit card companies.\u00a0 In fact, the last thing Obama would ever want to see is an objective analysis, issue by issue, of what it is that motivates business interests versus what it is that motivates the primary constituencies of the Democrat Party… labor unions, teachers unions, public employee unions, trial lawyers, gays, lesbians, etc., etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n Eighth Paragraph<\/span> \u2013 \u201cBut more than that, you can make sure that the tens of millions of dollars spent on misleading ads do not drown out your voice. \u00a0Because no matter how many ads they run \u2013 no matter how many elections they try to buy \u2013 the power to determine the fate of this country doesn\u2019t lie in their hands. \u00a0It lies in yours. \u00a0It\u2019s up to all of us to defend that most basic American principle of a government of, by, and for the people. \u00a0What\u2019s at stake is not just an election. \u00a0It\u2019s our democracy itself.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n So how does the tens of millions of dollars spent on \u201cmisleading\u201d ads compare to the nearly one trillion dollars in stimulus funds that Obama has used to pay off favored Democratic voting blocs under the guise of \u201cjob creation?\u201d\u00a0 Simple arithmetic tells us that, for every dollar spent on issue advocacy by corporate and conservative interests, Obama and congressional Democrats have wasted $20,000 on reckless stimulus spending.<\/p>\n By merely branding such issue advocacy ads as \u201cmisleading,\u201d Obama hopes to make it so.\u00a0 But the many lopsided victories of Tea Party candidates and conservative Republicans over moderate Republicans and Democrats should be enough to convince Obama that the days when he and his liberal supporters could hoodwink the American people are over.\u00a0 The fate of this country does rest in the hands of the people and they will deliver a strong message to Democrats in November that will echo across this land for generations.\u00a0\u00a0 It is not a message they will like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Living under the regime of Obama the Usurper, it behooves us all to read between the lines and to analyze very carefully every word he says.\u00a0 His weekly radio address of Saturday, September 18, is a good case in point.\u00a0 … Continue reading
