ARE YOU WORRED? . click here to read

If not, you certainly should be, as should all freedom loving Americans.  
As for myself, I haven’t been this concerned about the future of our country since I sat in front of the TV and watched the attack on the World Trade Center.

Unless you have been in a coma these past few weeks, then you must know Barack Obama retains a high probability of being re-elected.  Right now, the focus of many is on his obscene efforts to run roughshod over the First Amendment and force Catholics to violate their consciences. And it is true that this issue will cost him a lot of votes, but don’t get your hops too high.  Democrats have prevented a voter ID from becoming law on both a national and a state level and without it, they will obtain more illegal votes than they loose on this issue.

There are two other issues purposely designed to literally buy votes for Obama.

Issue number one is the so-called housing settlement. That’s the one where “innocent” homeowners will be getting some sort of relief from the big, bad banks who duped them into buying houses they couldn’t afford.  At least that’s the story line the administration and our hopelessly in-the-tank mainstream media would have you believe.  If one wishes to pierce the fog, is it worth remembering a few facts. 


First, no one can obtain a mortgage without signing a contract, one that spells out exactly what obligations one is freely undertaking.  

Second, many of these deadbeats — and they are deadbeats — decided that their over-priced houses could be milked for additional funds to pay for such “necessities” as cars, plasma TVs, or vacations.  
Last but certainly not least, it was the Democrats that pressured banks to make these loans in the first place, turning home ownership into a de facto affirmative action program.   These same Democrats that are now collecting $26 billion in fines from banks for their “robo-signing” sins, best described as a dubious method of processing legal foreclosures.   Banks that didn’t want to play along were threatened with fines and business restrictions. And, fyi, despite the economy-destroying results of such efforts, Attorney General Eric Holder and his trusty DOJ are out and about doing the same damned thing all over again.

I’m not saying the banks and mortgage companies are completely blameless. They took a horrendous idea and made it far worse, kicking the same historical standards to the curb for prime mortgage customers, and bundling the entire toxic brew into exotic Wall Street investments that made the debacle even worse.  But none of that obscures the reality that a bunch of American deadbeats continue living in homes on which they long ago stopped making payments, while another bunch of American deadbeats simply walked away from their freely undertaken obligations, simply because they didn’t like the way it was working out.

So what do the deadbeats get? The former group gets a “re-financing” of their underwater mortgages. The latter group gets up to a $2000 cash bonus for being “victimized.”

What does the Obama administration get?  They get hundreds of thousands of reliable voters.
What do responsible Americans like you and I who bought a house we could afford, and make their mortgage payments on time, no matter how much of a struggle it is get?  Not one damned thing.

Which brings us to issue number two; Last year, a federal program coughed up $1.6 billion to pay for “free” cell phones, along with the monthly bills, of 12.5 million wireless accounts. The program is overseen by the FCC “to promote the availability of quality services at just, reasonable, and affordable rates” for low-income Americans. Who pays for this? All telecommunications carriers — most of whom tack a fee on each of their customers’ bills, wireless and landlines included.  In others words, you and I do.  All Americans who receive food stamps, Medicaid, or any other federal aid, or who earn up to 135% of the federal poverty guidelines, qualify for the program.

If that were not bad enough, the program obviously suffers from “lack of oversight.”  It seems there are a whole lot of people who don’t qualify that are still getting phones.  But wait, there’s more.  There are 269,000 subscribers receiving free phones and monthly service from two or more carriers.  Hey, why not.  As long as it’s free, get one for every family member.

So let’s use a bit of imagination for a moment, and envision a scenario where the Republican presidential candidate, whoever he is, campaigns on the fact that we have way too much government in our lives, that freedom is a special gift, and that people should take control over their own destinies.  Now imagine our current president telling people that if he isn’t re-elected, they might have to pay for their own homes, and give up their “free” cell phones and cell phone service.
