THE MADMAN AT THE HELM

 

Never in the history of the Republic of the United States have the people faced the unique situation that is now taking place in the 50 states. But before we arrive at that, workers are being laid off, businesses are closing and the welfare rolls are expanding. The problem is simple to explain. The federal government politicians (blue state politicians also) have left the confines of the Constitution’s limited government, thinking that government can solve personal problems. The money they use to solve the problems is not their money; it belonged to the ones who earned it. Of course, you have heard and read that before.

Now to the unique situation that is leading us to an existence that is not going to be good and the reason is the madman in the White House. How many times will the people have to be told before they realize to the depth of their being that the man is deliberately moving us ever closer to destruction? Only a man with evil on the mind does what he does all the while lying as he does it.

The pundits keep saying he needs to do this or that or some other thing and that he doesn’t understand our way of life. They keep repeating those things so it is safe to say they do not understand he is not going to do anything that a normal person would do. He keeps doing the same thing, adds to them and he does understand our way of life. Only insane people do the same thing expecting a different result; but the nut job is getting the result he intends and the people cheer for him as he lies. Yet, he is so channeled by his Communist/Islamic ideology he believes it will work. In one respect his ideology is working; it is destroying our constitutional republic and the people’s independence. Deny it to your own peril.

Commentators point out that he is the most divisive man ever to hold sway in the Oval Office, but few ever identify the way he is practicing divisiveness. Let’s connect some dots. On Monday, December 10, the nut job went to Michigan to lend support to the unions and others protesting Michigan’s impending right-to-work law. Actually, it is none of his business concerning what Michigan legislators were planning, but he made it his business. During his visit to a truck factory near Detroit he said, “You know, these so-called right-to-work laws, they don’t have to do with economics. They have everything to do with politics. What they’re really talking about is giving you the right to work for less money.” (They have everything to do with economics and that is what he doesn’t like. The workers are now able to keep more of their income due to not being forced to contribute dues to the unions; dues being the life blood of the Democrat political machine.)

His nuttiness bragged that unions helped build Detroit. That was true at one time, but eventually union demands outstripped the ability of manufacturers to pay the exorbitant wages and benefits. Boarded up businesses, abandoned houses and block after block of empty lots where people once lived show the ravages of the year after year of liberal rule. An article on CNS News tells the sordid story of liberal Democrats using the socialist style for governing.

Then on Tuesday, those who heard his message attempted an invasion of the Michigan legislature to stop the legislation. Several people were injured and property was destroyed. One Democrat threatened that there would be blood. Listen carefully. The nut job did not say one word about the chaos unleashed in Lansing, Michigan. Did he deliberately go to Detroit to whip up the unions and their supporters against the new law by using the subterfuge of touring the plant as a cover for his remarks? You be the judge.

Madman continues to say he is for the middle class, but look at what is happening while he lies. The so called health care law is going to cost employers 63 dollars per year per employee to cover the cost of health care for those with preexisting conditions. Many companies will not be able to afford the cost imposed on them so they have at least two options: one, close the business; two lay off their employees. How does either of those help the workers he claims to support?

According to an article on CNSNEWS, 21 percent of small business owners’ expect to decrease their workforces in the next 12 months to a level not seen since Aug. 2003. Everything he does results in destruction of businesses, increases job loss and spreads misery to those involved. Eventually his deliberately caused misery will engulf all of us.

Family farms are in his cross hairs due to the estate tax increase. The nut job  and Congress which passed the estate tax law jumps the death tax to 55 percent of estates exceeding $1 million threatens 526,421 family farms, of about 25 percent of all farms in America. But it is even worse than the foregoing. [The] drop [of] the tax's exemption from $5.1 million to $1 million [bodes more ill]. The lower exemption -- combined with soaring farm real estate values -- could put more than 420,000 additional farm estates at risk from the death tax. Is this the way to help the average hard working farm families? Yes, we can help rid them of all that evil wealth. After all, they are rich aren’t they?

It should be very apparent to anyone who can see through the nut job’s veil of lies, that he does not intend doing anything that reasonable people would do to solve the problems. All the words of he should do, ought to do and why doesn’t he do aren’t going to change him one iota. He well understands what he is doing and the conclusion can only be the title of this article; he is The Madman at the Helm of the republic bent on our destruction by every means he can employ.
