One of my favorite quips was the statement by friend in church: Our humility is what we are most proud of. Recent events concerning Chick-fil-A and that company’s owner’s comment of support for traditional marriage, and the uproar that followed it, by the Democrats trying to make political hay, and the radical homosexual community doing what they typically do, brought a similar thought to my mind: Intolerance is something we cannot tolerate!
If the state of affairs we find ourselves in was not so sad, it would be comical. Those of us who prescribe to traditional family values are repeatedly called haters—this is usually done with offensive expletives to drive the point home—and if we say we believe that our president’s (Barack Hussein Obama, umm, umm, umm) policies are destructive of our capitalist system and tearing down the fabric of our economy, we are told that we are just racists who do not want a “black man” in the White House—often with further offensive expletives. The only conclusion they on the left can come to is that we on the right are intolerant.
Then there is the latest barrage from the left concerning Romney’s wealth. They would like the public to believe that a rich man would never be able to relate to the poor man, or even understand the plight of those of us in the middle class. Of course, a thinking person would perhaps ask, well, what about the Kennedys? They were pretty rich, weren’t they? Of course, to them that is a no-brainer: They were liberal Democrats! Democrats intuitively understand the poor and middle class Americans, no matter how much money they personally have. Do the names Gore, Pelosi, Kerry, Biden, and Reid, among omany others mean anything to you Democrats? They are all multi-millionaires. They have also spent the vast majority of their lives at the public feeding trough, berating Republicans for being wealthy and stingy, while pandering to their poor and ignorant constituents whom they have created. By the way, we can point to the bad economy and our morally bankrupt society and say without equivocation to the Democrat Party, “YOU DID BUILD THAT!”
Class warfare has always been a staple of the Democrat argument. My father was a child of the depression and basically grew up with F.D.R. He told me more than a few times that the Republicans were for the rich man and the Democrats were for the working man. I loved my pop. He was a patriot who fought for our freedom during World War II and he was the hardest working man I knew. But, bless his heart, he was just as ignorant about politics and economics as roughly half of the American population today. As I say, the Democrat play book has always had the dog-eared class warfare page to turn to, but they also have the race-bating page that they can turn to when need be, or even if not need be. As of late it looks like it need be. They are pulling out the stops this year. Nothing is off the table. Where a simple, but illogical, “he’s-too-rich-to-be-president” argument would have sufficed in the past, the demonization page has to be turned to. Now, “Mitt Romney is a tax cheat!” And, it would appear, from the latest political ad atrocity trotted out by Obama PACs that Mitt Romney is an “accessory to second degree murder”.
The truth of the matter is that there is no argument for re-electing Mr. Obama. His policies, as I predicted a couple of years ago, are heading us towards a double-dip recession, if not a depression. As I explained in an earlier blog, FDR’s policies of federal regulation actually lengthened the Great Depression. It was World War II’s aftermath that brought us out of it. We were virtually the only big country left, who could produce the stuff that the rest of the world needed. So, we thrived, and as the other countries affected by the world-wide depression and world war adopted more free market principles, they began to thrive as well. This point has been lost on Obama, because he has been taught Marxism and Socialism from his childhood. He promised something unintelligible, which, as you know, I interpret, as “opium and chains” and which relied on the uniformed masses to swallow and left-leaning media to cover his faults. A lot of voters, especially young voters, wanted to be on the side of making history by electing the first black man president. Of course, they made history by electing one of the worst presidents ever—I know, that opinion makes me a racist.
As I was saying, the “he’s-too-rich-to-be-president” argument will not be enough to get the president re-elected this time around. Romney must be painted as a tax-cheating felon and a second degree murderer. The ridiculousness of this should be apparent to even the most insipid intellect out there. If anyone were to go ten years without paying taxes, as that paragon of truth and virtue, Harry Reid, has claimed a friend told him Mitt Romney did, the IRS would have jumped down his throat with an audit. With Romney being a potential Republican presidential nominee for the past eight years, I would suspect that he would have been audited every year.
And to the point of Romney’s supposed complicity in second degree murder, we should only look at facts. The political ad in question was so full of crap that it is a wonder the producers of the ad did not die from the smell. Somehow Bain’s closing of a steel plant in 2002 resulted in a steel worker’s (Joe Soptic), wife dying of cancer. The truth is as follows: Bain and some other investing partners purchased the failing GST Steel plant in 1993; Romney left Bain in 1999 to run the Salt Lake City Olympics and left the day-to-day operations of Bain capital in the hands of Steven Paliuchi, an Obama bundler and contributor; after buying the steel company, Bain was able to keep it afloat for almost ten years longer than it probably would have otherwise—Soptic would have most likely lost his job much earlier, without the intervention of Bain and their partners; Soptic’s wife had health insurance through her own employment for two years following the closing of GST Steel—this must have been forgotten by Mr. Soptic; and, Mrs. Soptic died in 2006—my college math suggests that it was about seven years after Romney gave up control of Bain Capital. Maybe, the Obamaists can retool their ad to attack Mr. Paliuchi, the Obama supporter. An actual argument can be made that President Obama is a potential accessory to murder or murder cover-up, since he has resorted to an executive order to stop the investigation as to who knew about the “Fast and Furious” gun sale debacle.
The truth is that Romney is a squeaky clean guy. He has not cheated on his wife or gone through a messy divorce that the Obama people can dredge up to attack him with. As Ann Coulter reminds us in one of her recent columns, Obama has resorted to this tactic each time he had stiff competition in a campaign—it is the Chicago way. He is also most assuredly not a tax cheat or a murderer. The hypocrisy on the left is stunning. Not one of the top Romney critics calling for him to release ten more years of tax returns has been willing to release their own. Then there are all of the sealed school transcripts, college applications and passport—I understand that a hefty sum was paid to keep them sealed—that President Obama refuses to release. You might ask why, but you would be a *&^%$#@! racist homophobe. And let me just say here that Harry Reid is a fraud, a punk and a phony! I HAVE A HARD TIME TOLERATING THAT GUY!
