Was that not just beautiful? I listened as Obama gave his inauguration speech. I became so chocked up with patriotic tears that I almost fell plum out of my seat. I listened as he went on stealing terms right out of the conservative arguments. We The People he would proclaim followed by the Constitution and let us not forget the Bill Of Rights.Each time making me want to puke as this Progressive Socialist spoke them.
I could go on for days about different parts of his speech, anyone could. But I am just going to hit a few of the higher points that stuck out for me. The part as explained his view on how the Constitution should be looked at. Today we continue a never-ending journey, to bridge the meaning of those words with the realities of our time, Obama said in his speech.
In short, to interpret our Constitution as he thinks it should be if he was to write it today. What I cannot figure out is where in the Constitution it gives anyone including his high arse the right to interpret the Constitution to be anything except what our forefathers intended it to be. Imagine if you will that each time we changed President, the interpretation of our Constitution changed. Then we as a nation were forced to fit the new interpretation, to fit their goals for the country. It would be pure anarchy as we can see in todays reality as we constantly change our lives trying to keep up.
Our forefathers knew that change was inevitable, that times and technology would change as the years went by. That is why we have a process to change the Constitution as needed. We do this with Amendments. All one has to do is write one up and get two thirds of both the House and Senate to pass it, then three fourths of the states to ratify it, and in doing so, we change our Constitution, legally. What this man thinks he can do, is pull out if thin air a new meaning of what he thinks it should say and force the rest of us to comply.
The second thing that caught my eye was the phrase collective action. Now one might think that a decent phrase to use but only if you believe in Socialism. He goes on to say For the American people can no more meet the demands of today's world by acting alone than American soldiers could have met the forces of fascism or communism with muskets and militias. I have news for him, The American people have been picking themselves up out of the gutter and making something of themselves for decades now. Our forefathers provided for the common defense of this country but after that, a person is free to join a group or decide to strike out on their own in their quest for the American dream. The way Obama sees this is we all must come together on everything and walk in lock step to a common goal. Seems to me, the definition of fascism and communism, and the very things we are fighting against.
He misses a very important point here I think, the pride and joy of taking the world on in your own terms and beating the odds and actually making something of your life. To look back and see the results of a life lived not as a dependent of government, but as a hard working individual and then to live out your retirement years enjoying your own hard earned profits. Instead he believes that providing every little want and need to each and every person a better path. That no one have any more or any less then the next person, that we all end up living the life that government chooses for us. No hopes, no dreams, no chance and to me, that means no life. What gives him the right to decide for me how far I might rise or how far I might fall?
Obama adds this line to his speech, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." I believe the That all men are created equal part of this Obama interprets as all men will end up as equals. As for life, he shows us his views on this as he stands for abortion, the murder of millions of unborn Americans. Liberty is only if the collective will allow it and the pursuit of happiness has become every American dependent on the government and the government tells you when you are happy.
In reality, what Obama seems to miss in all of this is the understanding of how it feels to have built from scratch, from nothing a business to support yourself. The blood sweat and tears, the sacrifice that one has to go through to make it work just to have it fail not because your competition took you out, but your government raped away from you all your profits and gave them to those that are just too fat and lazy to get up off the couch and make their own way in the world. A government that says it is providing a level playing field so that all have a chance to succeed while in reality is so over bearing that none can.
Hope has been ripped away from this nation. The American dream no longer can be achieved. Obama claims to be going after the rich when in fact he is destroying the ability of the middle class to survive. All anyone can hope for at this point is to be nothing more than a government dependent. And quite frankly, I would rather pick out of trash cans than bow to this king.
But for now, while I still have the ability, I will in every peaceful and legal means possible fight this man and the Socialism that he is pushing on our free nation. He is not the first one to try this, nor will he be the last. Our freedom will only remain ours so long as we never give up the fight to keep it.
Be safe peeps. God Bless America
