It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what it will be to-morrow. — James Madison, Federalist No. 62 1788

Without the Big O, You Can’t Build That

August 10, 2012   ·   By   ·   0 Comments

Obama's Julia

Obama’s Julia

Meet Julia. She doesn’t have a last name, but just like you—under “Big O” of course—she has Daddy Government to lean on. When she can’t pay her student loans, eh… payment schmayment. When she gets old, Mr. G. will provide new wheels from The Scooter Store. Grand Canyon, here she comes!

But come on, that’s not love. Daddy G can do better. He can meet Julia step-for-step with all the love, care and poisonous affection of big, sloppy kisses from government programs. And by step-for-step, I mean from birth till death do us part.

Life of Julia Government

The above, albeit biasedly, summarizes the Obama campaign’s “The Life of Julia.” It’s a graphic illustration reminding us of everything Big O has done to take care of our entire life. On several pages representing Julia’s milestone ages, her parents’ love, encouragement and support is never mentioned. In fact, we’re left to assume her parents simply exist.

Also, the timeline rarely references any influence of first jobs or extracurricular activities. Why? She’s got Daddy G and we know that because “President Obama” is mentioned 19 times on… Just. 12. Pages. This is a powerful picture of how close Big O wants government to our
everyday lives.

If you’ll remember, President Obama said, “If you’ve got a business—you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”

“The Life of Julia” revises that by saying, “If you’re going to have a life or business—you can’t build that. Somebody else—I mean.. uh.. government—will make that happen.”

Think that’s a stretch? Despite the eeriness, let’s hit the highlights of Julia’s life. We’ll cover two, but notice when the milestones land, what they are, and the government’s role. For fun, you can check me by tallying how many times Big O’s narcissism shows up.

Daddy G’s Got You

Age 18: Julia qualifies for “President Obama’s American Opportunity Tax Credit—worth up to $10,000 over four years.” Plus, she qualifies for a Pell Grant, all to put a college education “within reach.”

It sounds incredible. Nonetheless, if the President hadn’t signed over 80 percent of the student loan market to Daddy G, colleges would’ve been forced to compete for Millennials’ business.

And without the guarantee of federal loan checks, university presidents could’ve built leaner institutions by cutting costs—making government spending on tax credits less necessary.

Age 42: Julia wants to start her own web-based business. Come on, Julia, ask Daddy G nicely. What do you know? “She qualifies for a Small Business Administration loan….” Before you know it, she’ll be creating jobs—forced to remember she couldn’t and didn’t do it without the government.

Her creativity and hard work will have meant nothing because, “… there are a whole bunch of hard-working people out there.” Of course, if she doesn’t remember, the President will jog her memory (e.g., “… you didn’t build that.”).

Look, the President sees government as the origin to everything. It’s tucked in our swaddling clothes as an infant and buried with us at life’s end. Our dreams and creativity can’t be the start because the President can’t control that. And if he can’t control that, we might become an evil, capitalist pigs rolling in millions kept in Swiss bank accounts—like Mitt Romney.

America’s start-ups, dreams and innovations don’t source from Washington, D.C. One trillion dollars in short-lived, Daddy G stimulus taught us that. It simply doesn’t work. The economy catches-up and devalues printed money. Plus, it refuses to magically multiply dollars taken from innovators by putting it in the hands of those who choose to sit the sidelines.

Resisting the Tide of Secularism

Ken Connor

Forces antagonistic to religion dominate our courtrooms, our classrooms, and that most potent platform of public influence, the entertainment industry. Stridently ideological and convinced that the forces of reason and progress are on their side, these secular shapers of culture will not be satisfied until every last vestige of religious influence is exorcised from the public square. These individuals reject the fact that the Christian religion played an integral role in the shaping of America's political traditions and the spirit of liberty and equality that is unique among nations.

The Multi-Agency Attack on Conservatives

Robert Romano

As Sherlock Holmes and Mr. Spock were always fond of noting, when attempting to unravel a whodunit, a useful postulate is: “When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” Point in case is the targeting by multiple government departments and agencies at the federal and state level, by elected officials, and by Democrat Party organizations of Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote, a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring honest elections and ballot integrity by targeting voter fraud.

Ryan-Rubio ‘Conservative’ Amnesty Ads Insult our Intelligence

Gina Miller

We have not forgotten the 2007 McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill that was killed in the face of intense outrage from the American people. This administration has engaged in criminal conduct by granting amnesty through presidential edict to certain illegal aliens. If we were outraged back in 2007 at the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill, we are now outraged to the hundredth power at the latest attempt by Congress to shove amnesty for illegal aliens down our throats.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964
