Pedro's Podium: Thoughts from Thursday 2-9-2012

Obama Goes PAC-ing:
Well once again the President decided to take the path with the most cash. With all the talk of him being able to raise $1 billion for his reelection war chest, there seems that that is not enough. Could it be that he is not raising the large amount of money that they were bragging about? Could it be that all of the rich Democrats that he was sure would back him, no matter what, are not coughing up the donations? Could it be that his campaign chest is not filling up as quickly as he and the machine backing him thought? It seems that the DNC Convention is running into some issues when it comes to funding.

Could it be that he is see the damage that the GOP Super PACs are doing in the primaries and now beginning to understand how they will be going after him? He has lived a very charmed political life. His opponents have fallen before his campaign and their dirty Chicago style tricks and thuggery. So now it seems that the man who promised to limit his 2008 fundraising, and his opponent did, to the government level of matching funds has once again decided to take the low road. He will do exactly what I expected and is now getting ready to release his Super PAC.

Once again Mr. Obama says one thing and does the exact opposite. If a person really believes in something they will not compromise their principals. Unless of course a person has no core principals of honesty. Over the last few years, since Mr. Obama has come to national prominence, I’ve come to doubt the integrity of the current President. He is willing to do anything, is seems, to win. I can not believe that such a person has the best interest of the American people as his first objective. I would seem that he only wants to win. That winning will not help the nation as a whole. His winning will only continue the pain that he has inflected on those who work hard, follow the rules, and believe that the American dream has not died. His idea of the it will turn it into a nightmare. His Super PAC may or may not succeed, but if he wins due to attacks that it makes on the American system, it will be a lose for all of us.

I can only hope that come November the Obama's will not be PAC-ing but are packing.

The Obama Compromise:
If you don’t have faith in anything then you can not understand a person who does believe in something greater than themselves. The one thing that I find that those of the Progressive mind set have the least amount of faith in, is the American people. The only thing that they seem to believe in, is themselves. This is really troubling for the country now that progressives have such a strangle hold on the nation.

This last week’s compromise involving religion and forced financing of birth control shows how the President believes that his ability to persuade people is greater than the faith of thousands of years. The attack on the core beliefs of so many people is the height of arrogance by the Administration. I’ve noticed that one characteristic of the President is a total lack of understanding of faith and the heart of the American people. The idea that Americans are willing to toss out centuries of human experience and knowledge for the orders of a government overreaching the authority given to it.

The President does have a strange idea of what the word compromise actually means. His lack of experience shines through when you look at how he handled the whole situation. He seems to think that he could sit down and talk with a couple of leaders in the Catholic Church and convince them that they should deny their faith and accept the will of the government. This is the type of stories that were common in Europe, where Churches and the state shared power by enforcing the will of the rulers. He thinks that a compromise is when he gets everything that he wants. That is not a compromise

The separation of Church and State that the liberals love to misrepresented as a total separation of the Church controlling the State is really the principal of the State not controlling the Church. That is the real meaning of the First Amendment. The idea that the government can suddenly take control of the religious life in this country is at total conflict with the ideas of our founders. The First Amendment and the foundations of our government are more important than the ambitions, plotting, scheming, and power hunger of a few individuals. It is time to demand the repeal of ObamaCare and all of the regulations created so far. This 100 year old plan of the Progressives to take control of the nation and its health care system flies in the face of our God given freedoms and the faith. No matter what we each believe. Today all people of faith must unite to defend and preserve this nation.

So to accept the Obama Compromise is to compromise your principals and turn your back on the freedoms and history of our nation. I'll say no to his ideas and his totalitarian rule.
