I certainly hope so, but in the way President Reagan won the cold war. This was posted on investors.com, the online journal of Investors Business Daily.
They blamed our country’s current problems on “Washington”. Nice dodge, IBD! And I don’t mean your shiny new car.
That’s bullshit, pure and simple. I’ll agree that the problem is IN Washington, but the problem is not “Washington”.
It isn’t “Washington” that’s to blame for the mess we’re in.
I’ll lay the blame exactly where it belongs: Obama and the dimocrats. They got us into this mess. But other than that, this is a great analytical observation.
Will Washington’s Failures Lead To Second American Revolution?
The Internet is a large-scale version of the “Committees of Correspondence” that led to the first American Revolution — and with Washington’s failings now so obvious and awful, it may lead to another.
People are asking, “Is the government doing us more harm than good? Should we change what it does and the way it does it?”
Pruning the power of government begins with the imperial presidency.
Too many overreaching laws give the president too much discretion to make too many open-ended rules controlling too many aspects of our lives. There’s no end to the harm an out-of-control president can do.
Bill Clinton lowered the culture, moral tone and strength of the nation — and left America vulnerable to attack. When it came, George W. Bush stood up for America, albeit sometimes clumsily.
Barack Obama, however, has pulled off the ultimate switcheroo: He’s diminishing America from within — so far, successfully.
He may soon bankrupt us and replace our big merit-based capitalist economy with a small government-directed one of his own design.
He is undermining our constitutional traditions: The rule of law and our Anglo-Saxon concepts of private property hang in the balance. Obama may be the most “consequential” president ever.
The Wall Street Journal’s steadfast Dorothy Rabinowitz wrote that Barack Obama is “an alien in the White House.”
His bullying and offenses against the economy and job creation are so outrageous that CEOs in the Business Roundtable finally mustered the courage to call him “anti-business.” Veteran Democrat Sen. Max Baucus blurted out that Obama is engineering the biggest government-forced “redistribution of income” in history.
