Pedro's Podium: Thoughts from Thursday 3-22-2012

Throwing gas on a fire: A former aid to the president is infamous for saying: "Never let a good crisis go to waste." Well even thou Mr. Emanuel is no longer in Washington, Mr. Obama still seem to live by this radical anti-freedom stance. Of course after the "beer summit" everyone with any commonsense knows that he has a disdain for the laws and the law enforcement of this nation.

His days as a community organizer never prepared him to be the chief law enforcement officer. He seems enjoy fanning the flames of hate. Well sir that is not your job. Maybe you should review the oath of office:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

You are not defending the Constitution by seeding division and feeding hate. Your words were not designed to calm the nation as witnessed by the reaction from the merchants of hate that continues to call for violence. What happened in Sanford Florida was a tragedy. It should be view in that way. Sane and caring people do not relish the death of anyone born or unborn. But you seem to desire that there is violence. Your actions once again bring the question up again: Are you fit to lead the country?

As this episode once again demonstrates your judgment is lacking. I pray for the country and you. You should look before you leap. I hope that you can control this—what appears to me to be a—deep seeded hate in your heart. This nation doesn’t deserve a person who is unable to control their words, emotion, and actions. You occupy the Oval Office and are suppose to represent all of the people in this nation, not just those who look as you do.

For someone who is able to garner a large enough following to become President of the United States, you don’t seem to be very intelligent. This sad episode should have been ignored or mentioned only to try and comfort, not insight violence. When you called for “soul searching” you try and convict not just the shooter, but all Americans. We did nothing wrong. But you seem to think that somehow there is a collective guilt. That type of thought process is not only ignorant, but unproductive. Instead of chastising the American people and instilling hate and resentment, you should be trying to comfort the bereaved family and the American people. Death is a part of life and I never like to see an innocent person fall victim to any crime. A leader and I mean a true leader would not feed the flames of hate, but work to calm people down and look for answers.

UPDATE: On Saturday 3/24/12 it was reported that there was an eyewitness to the shooting—as opposed to overheard phone calls—that support a different version of event than that of the LSM. It could be that this time again the Mr. Obama has thrown gas on a fire and fanned it again. Once again it seems that he acted "stupidly." But I do not want to make the same mistake that Mr. Obama continually makes, rushing to judgment.

Say Anything: Speaking of gasoline, it appears that Mr. Obama is once again painting a picture based upon fiction. He somehow thought that in 3 years he could solve America’s dependence on petroleum. Breaking it would be a great goal to obtain, but finding a replacement for an estimated 19.18 million barrels of oil per day (EIA) is a titanic undertaking. But he blindly through billions of dollars into programs like Solyndra which had no chance of succeeding.

In his 3 year run for reelection he has spun many of a fanciful tell, but his latest concerning oil production are almost—if not so serious—laughable. He claims that he is responsible for the increase in oil production, of course not that long ago he was saying that drilling today would take years—longer that three—to have an affect on oil supplies. So the increased oil production today is due to the permits issued by the Bush Administration, one of the few things that he has not blamed on Bush.

Well as he continues to blame the bad on anyone he can while taking credit for anything good, it is plain to anyone looking that he will say anything to keep his power. I just don’t see why he is qualified for reelection. He is not big enough for the job and has not grown in it. If nothing else, it seems that he has become smaller.

A Date of Infamy: This week marks the anniversary of The Death of the Republic when the Democrats in the US Congress ceased control of the heath care industry. Although this was just the first step in a 100 year goal, this action changed the relationship between the American people and the Federal government. This seizure of power has further separated those who are supposed to serve and the electorate.

Although this week marks the second year anniversary of this transgression, little has been heard from those who pushed it through. The only major defense I’ve heard was from former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. She seems to think that the Declaration of Independence somehow granted them the ability to impose this law. But I’ve heard nothing from Mr. Obama, who made ObamaCare the cornerstone of his administration.

For too long the creeping erosion of the Bill of Rights has gone on with little more than a whimper from many Americans. But now the tyrannical acts of the Democrats, Socialist, Progressive Socialist, and Communist who have gained power over the years have awoke many who have been asleep. They know that they must not show any weakness and are working very hard to not only destroy or electoral process—or just the faith in it—but to cement their power base. The 2010 election woke many of the tyrants up and they are now fighting back with every weapon they possess.

Even if the Supreme Court overturns the mandate, there is no certainty that they will overturn the either law. It may be even harder to repeal it. Even if it is repealed there are thousands of pages of regulations that have been written by the DHSS. These extra-constitutional regulations may make enough changes to the existing system that they will just become standard policy.

So what do we do? We don’t give in or give up. There is going to have to be a much needed house cleaning at the Federal government level. Many of those whose jobs depend on the enforcement of this unethical and unconstitutional government mandate must renounce it or find another career outside of government. We must remember this day of infamy and never again let a political movement obtain such a strangle hold on our day to day lives. Our lives and freedoms hang on the decisions we make today to bring our nation back to the freedoms once enjoyed.
