Are You Getting Scared?

A year ago we elected a candidate who offered hope and change. But in less than a year, he has promoted doubt and fear from heartland Americans. Our economy was in serious trouble and we elected him to get us back on track. Back to the status quo. But where are we today?

This administration has hampered the economy – not fix it. They have taxed everything and almost everyone during the worst recession in our history. They promised jobs while demanding passing the Stimulus package to avoid 8.5% unemployment. We surged to over 10% unemployment and lost over 4 Million jobs. They have spent America into unsustainable debt and continue to do so ignoring all facts and reality. We do not have the money to continue and yet they continue to spend, spend, spend. It's not working. Do they know what they are doing?

They have employed Communists, Marxists, and radicals in high government positions as advisors and "Czars" who report to the President – no one else. That's a FACT. (Examples: Van Jones, Mark Lloyd, and Anita Dunn). They hired a tax cheat (Tim Geithner) to be in charge of the Internal Revenue Service and the US Treasury! No one around seems to give a care. Congress doesn't. In fact, they are going along with the whole thing. We didn't elect them to ignore us. All they want is more government control and more personal power. How far will this go?

No wonder Americans are getting scared and feel insecure. Our government is trying to change America. We have elected a government that has quite different views of how America should be. They want government control over our lives in all aspects. The government has federalized banks, insurance companies, automobile manufacturers, home mortgages, and on and on… How can anyone deny these facts? This isn't America!

Americans also feel insecure when we have the Director of Homeland Security telling us that the "System worked" after a man tried to bomb an airliner over the city of Detroit, MI. Americans realized that was NOT true immediately. Is Director Napolatano THAT stupid? It took the administration several days (while on vacation) to realize this was a problem and began to deal with it. At first we were being told that this was an isolated incident.

President Obama seems to be more concerned with preserving the Miranda rights of a terrorist than he is to defending America. We knew this man had no leadership experience in his previous career. Shame on us. Unfortunately Americans are realizing WE made a big mistake and will have three more years to watch his inexperience take America to only God knows where.

Meanwhile, we can do something of merit. We can actively participate in the mid-term elections. This will be a turning-point for this country. You can sit and do nothing or become active. It's up to you.
