OBAMA'S SECOND TERM . click here to read

If you thought his first term was bad, you sure as hell don’t want to see a second.
Just think for a moment what Obama would do in a second term—when he does not have to face reelection.  

During these past three years, while he was concerned about re-election, he has produced a steady stream of broken promises, failed policies, and misplaced priorities. Worse of all, he has ignored the Constitution (which he took an oath to uphold and defend) as if it didn’t even exist.  However, he still claims a second term will be different. Yes, I’m sure it will be different.  It will be much worse.

We have seen the liberal agenda the president has pursued over the last three years: government run healthcare, cap-and-trade, pet projects disguised as “stimulus,” card-check, taxpayer-funded loans to now-bankrupt energy companies, and reckless deficit spending.

He has given us a preview of his war against organized religion and people of faith when he undid parts of a President Bush Executive Order protecting health care providers from being required to perform, participate in, or provide a medical procedure with which they had religious or moral objection.

Unfortunately, his war against all religions (except the Muslim religion) has only just begun.  You ain’t seen nothing yet.

First, President Obama and his “Catholic” Secretary of Health & Human Services Kathleen Sebelius finalized a rule that will require Catholic employers to cover and pay for contraception – including abortion drugs – and sterilization. The fact that the Catholic teaching excludes artificial contraception or abortion doesn’t matter to him.  If you are Catholic you heard in your Sunday Mass a message from your Bishop that “We cannot — we will not — comply with this unjust law.”

Second, President Obama’s Secretary of the Army – a political appointee – silenced Catholic chaplains from speaking out against this rule attacking religious freedom.  So, if you are in the military defending the freedoms of other Americans, you have no other option except to comply.

Non-Catholics, those not in the military, and even those who support the use of abortion drugs and contraception should take offense at and be outraged by the actions of the Obama Administration.  It could just as easily be something other than sterilization or abortion drugs next time.  This HHS rule requiring religious entities to act in contravention of their teachings is a clear violation of their rights to exercise freely their religions.  The gag order on Catholic chaplains amounts to an obvious violation of free speech.  Who or what is next?

Marine Sgt. Gary Stein first started a Facebook page called Armed Forces Tea Party Patriots to encourage service members to exercise their free speech rights.  Then he declared that he wouldn’t follow “unlawful orders” from the commander in chief, President Barack Obama.

The Marine Corps is now looking into whether he violated the military’s rules prohibiting political statements by those in uniform and broke its guidelines on what troops can and cannot say on social media.  Stein said his views are constitutionally protected.  Apparently Sgt. Stein does not yet realize that this administration ignores the Constitution.

So, what is in store for us if Obama wins re-election?

We already have a little insight as to what the year 2013 would look like, and it’s not pretty.   By his own admission, he wants higher taxes.  In 2011, he remarked at a press briefing, “Nobody’s looking to raise taxes right now. We’re talking about potentially 2013 and the out-years.”

Now, his fiscal year 2013 budget calls for exactly that—$1.9 trillion in higher taxes. But if he cannot get that budget through Congress, he has another option: do nothing. If the president and Congress take no action, taxes will automatically increase by $3.6 trillion in 2013.

Along with his plans for tax increases, the president’s 2013 budget also calls for increased spending—much of it in the same style as the failed $833 billion stimulus. Voters are demanding responsible government, but the president wants more budget deficits, which will require raising the debt ceiling yet again.

The 2013 forecast also includes a weak economy and unacceptably high unemployment, thanks to the president’s policies. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office said in January, “The economy will continue to grow at a sluggish pace over the next two years.” They also predict the unemployment rate will remain above 8 percent in 2013.
