The Santa Claus Syndrome







Well, its been over a week since the Presidential election and I just now can speak about it.  It was a major disappointment to me, of course.  I thought the ideas of hard work, giving Americans tools to become successful, getting government off the backs of businesses would be a winning message for Mitt Romney.  Unfortunately, it was not.  President Obama did not win due to a winning message.  He won on negative attacks on Mitt Romney and deflection on his four-year record of high unemployment, out of control spending, massive debt and scandals such as Fast and Furious and, of course, Benghazi attack on our embassy.  None of that mattered to the Obama Zombies who only care about one thing; what can the government give to me.  It's a frightening prospect to consider that Americans no longer think they can survive on their own.  They now need the federal government to take care of them.  This is not the America of Jefferson, Adams and Washington.  No, this is now the America of Reid, Pelosi and Obama. 

Much has been made of the impact of the Hispanic vote in this election.  No doubt they did have an impact.  But, what lost the election for Romney is that the core that he thought would win for him, blue collar workers and evangelicals, stayed home for the most part.  That is inexplicable to me.  I know people did not trust Romney.  But, he is a helluva lot better than the empty suit we have in office now.  Hispanics and African-Americans swarmed the Democratic ticket due to the "goodies" that they have been promised by the Democratic Party.  Let the Democratic Party continue to prostitute itself to voting blocs. They do this with promises of "goodies." Eventually, this will come back to bite them on the ass.

Regardless of what the Democrats do, we have to stand up for the rule of law in regard to reckless illegal immigration. We sink or swim by standing by our principles. Do we compromise everything we stand for in order to accommodate a group? When does it end? What if Hispanics, after receiving amnesty, suddenly decide they should be exempt from paying taxes for X number of years? What if Blacks decide they want reparations? Where does it end? It would never end. This is why I say the Democrats are on a slippery slope. We don't need to join them. If we can't stand on the rule of law, what do we stand for? Not much. We're Democrats-lite. If the Republican Party wants to lose the conservative base, just continue the hysterics over Hispanics. While we do have a problem getting our message across to Hispanics. the Democrats are having a problem getting that across to the largest sector of the electorate; whites. They garnered less than 40% this time. Think what they will do to them in the mid-term election.

As Rush Limbaugh said, "In a nation of children, Santa Claus wins."  That is what we saw on November 6th.  The Democratic Party's voting blocs delivered for them because they will get gifts for being good boys and girls.   This is what is so disheartening to me.  Our electorate is now voting based on what the government will do for them.  The government will give Hispanics amnesty.  The government will continue to give Blacks food stamps and welfare, thereby continuing generational poverty.  This nation is on the verge of economic collapse and all we are concerned about is what can Uncle Sam do for us.  Santa Claus must be proud of all the good boys and girls with their hands out.  We are not the nation of which President John F. Kennedy spoke when he said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."  We are the children on Christmas Day opening our gifts to see what Uncle Sam has for us.

Decision Time for Americans






November 6, 2012.  The Presidential Election which is probably the most important in American history.  The choices couldn't be more stark.  On one hand, you have the most radical Left-wing President in Barack Obama this nation has ever elected.  He has no interest in meeting in the middle on any issue.  It's his way or the highway.  He is partisan, he is stubborn and he is arrogant.  President Obama has an ego so big that his ego even has an ego (kudos to Greg Gutfield).  President Obama has never been able to accept criticism.  Unlike former President Bush, Obama absorbs criticism and feels he must automatically respond to it.  I have always gotten the impression President Obama has never understood the enormity of the Office of the President of the United States.  A case in point was his comment on his old friend being arrested and Obama commenting "The police acted stupidly."   Most Presidents grow into the job.  President Obama never has and, hopefully, will not get a chance to do that in the next four years.

Mitt Romney is not the perfect Republican Presidential candidate. He has vacillated on issues over the years from abortion to illegal immigration to health care.  But, Mitt Romney is infinitely better than President Obama.  Obama and his Democratic Progressive branch will continue to spend until this nation falls over the proverbial fiscal cliff (which is not far off now).  The out of control spending has to be stopped.  The only way to do that is to elect Mitt Romney as President.  My vote for Mitt Romney is not so much because I like him.  My vote is due to wanting Obama out of office as soon as possible.  President Obama came into office with tremendous problems facing him.  However, instead of making them better, President Obama has made them worse. The economy is in shambles. Unemployment is still completely unacceptable.  Our drop in AAA rating is a danger sign that doesn't get enough attention.  He has proven tentative on foreign policy with Benghazi being the latest disaster.  You can point to Osama bin Laden all you want.  But, the fact remains there are four dead Americans, including the U.S. Ambassador, in Libya. Obama is more concerned with his position in the world rather than in the USA. 

I hope those of you who read this post will join with me in voting for Mitt Romney.  We must shift away from a nation of dependents and back to a nation of independents.  Americans have always been known for their "can do" spirit to get things done.  The world is waiting for us to return to predominance, to lead once again.  President Obama is not the answer.  President Romney is the only choice.
