The Government Shutdown is a Deliberate Lie!

By Rick

It was designed by President Obama, or someone close to Obama, and if so, with his blessing. It was done to destroy the Republican Party, by hurting the public by shutting down only those public parks, monuments, and memorials.

It is a gigantic sham! The government is not shut down. All internal workings of the federal government, not open to the public, continue as usual. Of the 4 million public employees, only about 800,000 were furloughed, or so we were told by the press, quoting public officials. Can we believe anything anymore we are told by any of those in charge? Or by the mainstream news coverage?

The senate Democrats, especially Harry Reid, blames the so-called shutdown on the Republicans. Oh, is that so? The political parties have no constitutional authority to shut down the government, only elected officials in charge of government can do so. So, it has to have been the president who has shut down the government.

The contrived shutdown has hurt many innocent citizens. Home owners on government land were ordered by wardens and rangers–who were working, to vacate their homes. Families of service personnel killed were denied insurance benefits. Parks and events supported by private donations were closed. World War II veterans were not allowed to visit their memorial, until they rushed past the barricades, aided by some congress men and women. And many others were hurt as well, too numerous to list. And some business, we will learn, will close as a result of this corrupt maneuver by the Democrats.

I am waiting to how these corrupt officials react when thousands of trucks begin to descend on Washington DC.

Don't Expect Democrats to Take the Coming Conservative Tsunami Peacefully

As soon as our conservative friends take their seats in congress, the Democrats will make an attempt to intimidate them. They are already telling the poor that Republicans will take away their benefits. They are telling African-Americans they will take away what gains they have made under the Democrats.

What gains? Black unemployment is higher in comparison to White unemployment than it was 18 months ago. That they will 'whack,' 'cut,' and repeal all that the Obama administration has done for them.

"They're counting on young people staying home and union members staying home and black folks staying home," President Obama said at a rally in Philadelphia. Source. They tell their base that Tea-Party backed congressmen and women are 'bigots,' and 'racists,' and that they 'hate' gays.

However, from what I've seen so far from the left, including Liberal Democrats, They don't like it a bit when they do not get their way. Look what happened recently when Bill O'Reilly went on The View. Joy Behar and Whoopie Goldberg stomped out of the room in a tantrum when Mr. O'Reilly disagreed with them.

Every time the Republicans block some progressive legislation, with help from some Democrats no doubt, they will take it to some of their 400 special interest group supporters, and they will take it to the street and demonstrate, i.e.; they will throw an orchestrated tantrum. They have done this for years, and they won't change now.

We are in for a very interesting time just ahead of us.

A Moment of Decision for Americans on Health Care

I just heard President Obama deliver a speech trying to convince the Republicans, Independents, Conservative Democrats, and the American Public, that his modified health care is what the people want, and congress should pass it with an up or down vote, i.e., the nuclear option: conciliation--50 plus one vote in the senate.

No. He just attended the summit with the Republicans and he did not hear a word they said to him. Adding a point of two they suggested is not 'bi-partisan.' He said they debated the bill over and over. Not true. The Republicans were shut out, and in some cased the doors were shut against them.

Polls now definately show that the majority of Americans want to either start over from scratch, or drop it altogether. Yet, he and the progressive Democrats still want to jam it down the throats of Americans.

The President presents a special burden to Christians in this country. We are asked in scripture to pray for him, which I do daily. I do not require my president or congress to agree with me on everything, even if on only a few things. What really bothers me is that I can no longer trust anything my government or the president tells me.

I am a former Democrat, now 78, who quit the party some years ago as they 1) no longer represent the 'classic liberalism' of our forefathers, 2) they have been hijacked by progressives, 3) they have resorted to misleading and or outright lying about issues, and 4) they no longer seem to listen to or have any respect for those who placed them there.

Consequently, I no longer want our government to do anything more for me or to me. I can no longer afford my government. Most have to be removed this November, most Democrats and those Republicans who do not have the cajones to speak out against the chicanery in Washington.

But, good may come out of this. We may actually be able to clean house, as I am beginning to see others as fed up as I am. And after we toss them out, we need to bring charges against them for illegal legislation passed against the principles of the Constitution. Do we have the guts to do this?
