Betrayal of America's Spirit

Mr. Obama’s first one hundred days in office will change the landscape of America for generations to come.

He is stacking $9 trillion dollars of debt on top of the one-half trillion that President Bush left on our table. Senator Newt Gingrich put this in perspective. Every twenty year old American has been saddled with an $114,000 IOU just to pay the interest on Obama’s spending.

And that number will triple if blanket amnesty for illegal aliens, cap and trade and universal healthcare are made law. The consequence of his vision will entail the confiscation of 60% to 75% of all earned income to support government and government welfare.

This will absolutely destroy any opportunity the next generations of Americans have to rise above the government’s allowance for success. When the incentive to create a better future for self and family is removed, private enterprise will shrivel and die. And that is the goal of socialists.

That’s why Obama and the Democrats want to reinstate the death tax. It’s the last residual of accumulated wealth which they regard as a dangerous, unfair disparity. Confiscating and redistributing the wealth created by previous generations will eliminate all inequality between classes.

Let no one doubt that diversity, political correctness, multiculturalism and affirmative action are knives that have been honed to cut the heart out of individual initiative and responsibility. This war against individual freedom and opportunity has two fronts.

The economy has over shadowed Obama’s efforts to demean and marginalize the Judeo-Christian principles the nation was founded on. By executive order he has made it a civil crime for a medical person to refuse to perform an abortion.

Think about that. With the stroke of his pen, Obama decreed that the State is the sole arbiter of moral decision making. He has greased the skids for the displacement of religious values with the secular courts. This establishes the State as equal to the Supreme Being.

His decision to open the human gene pool to stem cell research affected more than medical research. He proclaimed that the sanctity of human life is secondary to political judgments. In truth, Mr. Obama placed the human species on the same level as lab rats.

The amalgamation of abortion on demand and unlimited genetic engineering erases every moral standard upon which Western Civilization was built. This philosophy is what justifies the government’s redefinition of the purpose of marriage, and allows it to substitute moral equivalency for absolute truth.

It doesn’t eliminate the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But it does give the government the right to define these rights, which mean they are subject to change based on the whims of government.

Capitalism, with all its flaws, is the muscle that built America. It opened the door of opportunity to all comers. And Obama? His agenda is disemboweling the American incentive by rewarding failure.

The only question remaining: Can Obama crush the human spirit? That answer will be delivered by the voters in the 2010 mid-term elections.
