At last, I now see the demise of the Democratic Party that gave us Jimmy Carter, (who gave us gas lines and tripled the price of gasoline, gave us 400 days of the Iranian Hostage Crisis, 10-percent home mortgage rates and almost ruined the economy with his socialistic ways of running the government; who also blackened the eye of this great country by going overseas and bad mouthing the United States.) And then gave us Bill Clinton who was impeached by the House of Representatives for lying about having sex with an intern.
Then we get President Barack Obama, who is like Jimmy Carter on steroids, who wants to have the Affordable Care Act (ACA), so badly it will bankrupt the country, and says it”s my way or the highway.
The veterans who went to the WWII Memorial to find it closed to the public and seven park police will not soon forget who did that.
No Republican bureaucrat would ever do that, we respect our veterans too much. This is a slap in the face to those who fought to make this country free, by the Democrats who run this country now.
Ronald Reagan gave us a strong military and worldwide respect when he made Gorbechev back down when he said tear down this wall and threatened him with his Star Wars strategy. And, who also gave us the most robust economy this country has ever seen. The Laffer curve on taxes is seen by most economists as tried and true. But some on the left will argue with a sign post and go the wrong way.
The rhetoric from Democrats over this shutdown is the most hateful I have ever seen, and they have made this the most hurtful on the public by design. Why don”t we just trample on the Constitution and let the far left have their way? Do away with free speech and let the left have their way. Why don”t we let the IRS trample on our rights? Why don”t we just inflict everybody with this cancer and problem solved? The Democrats slam the Tea Party but they were voted in because their constituents didn”t want the ACA.
Harry Ried made the statement that he will not let the Republicans cherry pick what gets done. Well that”s all President Obama has done with the ACA, which he changed 19 times which is against the law. He is cherry picking the bill with carve outs and exemptions, mostly for big unions which is a big part of his voting base.
Latest polls show 71 percent of Americans don”t want Obamacare, but the real proof will be in the 2014 elections. Even the CBS poll is two-to-one against the ACA.
And as a final word, I will always criticize dishonesty because that”s the way I am, as well as point out the bias of the lame stream press like CNN (which was called The Clinton News Network) because of its bias. When you have news networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC), which are so bias to the left you are not getting news, you are just getting left wing talking points, as well documented by media research center, 21 to 0 blaming Republicans for the shutdown. When you have that kind of power behind you no wonder you have uninformed voters.
So here is a news flash for those of you who can”t stand to hear the other point of view: It is being reported that park police (multiple sources) have said their superiors told them to make this shutdown as painful as possible. What a way to run a country.
Then they let union organizers into the WWII Memorial to hold a rally while not allowing veterans in.
Shame on you, Democrats, for perverting the rule of law.
This is first time in history of shutdowns that any memorials have been closed down. Now you have to ask: Why? Then why will we pay for all government employees to be paid during the shutdown? Why not just go back to work and end this charade?
