COMMENTARY
Obama is finishing his work
POSTED BY JUDSON PHILLIPS   |   JULY 30, 2012
  
   
Barack Obama has said he wants a second term to finish his work.
  advertisement
 
What work would that be? Would that be the destruction of America as an economic and military power?
Some people have asked the question, if Barack Obama's specific intention were to do as much damage to America as he could, would he have done anything differently?
The answer, sadly, is no.
Now we are seeing the fruits of one of the most destructive policies of the Obama regime.
Canadians are awash in oil. They have more oil than they know what to do with. They wanted to send it to the United States for processing and then consumption. Thanks to Obama, that effort was blocked.
If you study economics at all, you know that individuals as well as nations act in their own enlightened self-interest. Canada has a valuable resource. They were not simply going to sit on it. If America was not going to buy its oil, Canada would find another customer. And it has.
It is China.
The Chinese are now buying oil companies and energy reserves in Canada.
Unfortunately for America, Obama has decided to make war on energy. This is what he promised in 2008. Unfortunately, no one believed him back then.
This year, coal-fired power plants representing 8.5% of the total coal fired power plant capacity, are being taken out of service. These plants are being retired because of new, massive and expensive government regulations.
More plant closings are planned for the future.
What does this mean?
For now we have enough natural gas coming in to keep our power plants generating but ultimately this means higher prices for consumers, and at some point, energy shortages.
Obama's goal is to eliminate coal-fired power plants. He has said as much. If he gets a second term, with no worry about trying to be reelected again, his war on energy is going to expand.
The only energy projects that interest Obama have two things in common. First, they are epic, abject failures. And second, they involve major fundraisers for the Democrat Party.
The free market delivers energy and an efficient and relatively cheap manner. Unfortunately for America, Obama's war on energy is a larger war. It is also a war on the free market.
If he wins re-election, we will have neither peace nor prosperity nor the ability to heat our homes in the winter and cool them in the summer.
This is the work Obama wants to finish.

Dear

American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists,

regressive, Marxists, and Obama supporters, et al:

We have

stuck together since the late 1950s for the sake of the kids, but the

whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a

divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of

future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its

course.

Our two ideological sides of America cannot and

will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on

friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable

differences and go our own way.

Here is a model separation

agreement:

1. Our two groups can equitably divide up the

country by land mass, each taking a similar portion. That will be the

difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly

agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy. Our respective

representatives can effortlessly divide other assets since both sides

had such distinct and disparate tastes.

2. We don't like

redistributive taxes, so you can keep them.

3. You are welcome to

the liberal judges and the ACLU.

4. Since you hate guns and

war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the

military.

5. We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and you

can go with wind, solar, and bio-diesel.

6. You can keep

Oprah, Michael Moore, and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible

for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all three of

them.

7. We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations,

pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street.

8. You

can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless

homeboys, hippies, druggies, and illegal aliens.

9. We'll

keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEO's and

Rednecks.

10. We'll keep the Bibles and give you NBC and

Hollywood.

11. You can make nice with Iran and Palestine

and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten

us.

12. You can have the peace-niks and war protesters.

When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide

them security.

13. We'll keep our Judeo-Christian

values.

14. You are welcome to Islam, Scientology,

Humanism, political correctness, and Shirley McLaine. You can also have

the U.N., but we will no longer be paying the bill.

15.

We'll keep the SUV's, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can

take every Subaru station wagon you can find.

16. You can

give everyone healthcare if you can find any practicing

doctors.

17. We'll continue to believe healthcare is an

earned luxury and not a right.

18. We'll keep "The Battle

Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem."

19. I'm

sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine," "I'd Like to Teach the

World to Sing," "Kum Ba Ya," or "We Are the World."

20. We'll

practice trickle down economics and you can continue to give trickle up

poverty your best shot.

21. Since it often so offends you,

we'll keep our history, our name, our constitution and our

flag.

22. Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it

along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you

do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll

bet you answer which one of us will need whose help in 15

years.

Sincerely,
John J. Wall
Law

Student and an American

P.S.: Also, please take Ted Turner,

Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Barbara Streisand, and Jane Fonda with

you.

P.P.S.: And you won't have to "Press 1 for English"

when you call our country.

Forward this every time you get

it! Let's keep this going; maybe some of it will start sinking

in! 

**If you can't 

stand behind our Military, please feel free to stand in front of them! 


HARD TO BELIEVE THAT....CANADA....IS SMARTER AND IS NOW PASSING AMERICA...
    WATCH ALL OF IT....LEARN.......AND PASS IT ON...
...THIS IS AN EYE-OPENER" PRESENTATION

There are actually two messages here.  The 1st is very interesting, but the 2nd is absolutely astounding - and explains a lot.
 
A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.

Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis:
U.S.              65%England        46%
Canada          42%

Percentage of patients diagnosed with diabetes who received treatment within six months:
U.S.              93%England        15%
Canada          43%

Percentage of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within six months:
U.S.              90%England        15%
Canada          43%

Percentage referred to a medical specialist who see one within one month:
U.S.              77%England        40%
Canada          43%

Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million people:
U.S.              71England        14
Canada          18

Percentage of seniors (65+), with low income, who say they are in "excellent health":
U.S.              12%England          2%
Canada            6%


Check this last set of statistics!!

The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.  You know what the private business sector is...real-life business, not a government job.  Here are the percentages.

T. Roosevelt...........38%
Taft.......................40%
Wilson ....................52%
Harding..................49%
Coolidge................. 48%
Hoover ...................42%
F. Roosevelt............50%
Truman..................50%
Eisenhower..............57%
Kennedy................30%
Johnson................47%
Nixon....................53%
Ford.....................42%
Carter....................32%
Reagan.................56%
GH Bush...............51%
Clinton   ...............39%
GW Bush..............55%

And the winner is:
Obama............... 8%

 
This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration: only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!
That's right!  Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents!  And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business?  They know what's best for GM, Chrysler, Wall Street, and you and me?

How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one?  Or about jobs when he has never really had one?  And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers?  They've spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers." They should have been in an employment line. So..do you now think we need a change? I'll bet I know what your answer will be.


 
Pass this on!   We'll NEVER see these facts in the main-stream media.
"One of the penalties of not participating in politics is that you will be governed by your inferiors." Plato

 
 
Incredible ad by the Catholic Church
When churches start running ads then this election is going to get hot.
