Friend Of The Poor?

I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money.--Barack Obama


I think when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody.
--Barack Obama


I'm a warrior for the middle class.--Barack Obama


If we choose to keep those tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, if we choose to keep a tax break for corporate jet owners, if we choose to keep tax breaks for oil and gas companies that are making hundreds of billions of dollars, then that means we've got to cut some kids off from getting a college scholarship.
--Barack Obama

   


     Barack Obama claims to support the well being of the poor and middle class in this nation. Barack Obama is lying. There is one thing, more than anything else, that would help the poor and middle class in this nation. It is the one thing that Barack Obama refuses to do. What is that one thing, you might ask?


                              ENERGY  


     Energy? Yes, energy. 

     The price of a gallon of gasoline is once again on the rise. We are looking at $4.00 a gallon by Memorial Day.  Middle class Americans are struggling hard with rising energy costs, and the poor are being devastated by them.  What the President, in his superior wisdom doesn't, or refuses, to grasp, is that energy is the key to our recovery.  You want companies to hire? They need low energy costs. You want consumers to consume? They need low energy costs. You want the poor to climb out of poverty? They don't need a government handout, they need low energy costs. 


     The poor in this country have to eat. They have to get to work. They have to clothe their families. They have to heat their homes. These are necessities, and everyone of them could cost poor families a lot less of their incomes if energy was abundant, and affordable.


     Take a look at the highways of America. What do you see? You see eighteen wheeled, steel beasts of burden carrying their wares. Every one of them is burning diesel fuel. They don't run on Skittles and empty solar panel promises. Everything, from the food we eat, to the cars we drive, to the shoes we wear, are transported to us across the backbone of those beautiful chrome addled monsters. The more it costs to feed those behemoths, the more it costs to feed our children. The more it costs to clothe our children. The more it costs the poor and middle class to simply live.


    In spite of this, Barack Obama, and his cronies in Congress, refuse to allow America to explore and utilize the massive stores of oil under our feet. Drilling in the Gulf? Nope. Drilling in ANWAR? Nope. Pipeline from Alberta to hungry U.S. markets? Nope.


     What about our homes? They run on kilowatts. America's poor and middle class need affordable electricity. How does Obama help in that regard? By targeting the coal industry for destruction. Onerous regulations on mining. Blatant disregard for the needs of America's poorest citizens when it comes to heating and cooling their homes. More demand for electricity, with no more generation of vital kilowatts. That just drives the price of flowing electrons through the roof. What about nuclear power? Only two permits in the last thirty years, and those just recently at Vogel nuclear plant near Augusta, Georgia; suspiciously as a Georgia case on Obama's eligibility in Georgia was thrown out. Payoff? Who knows, but given Obama's track record on energy..........well, draw your own conclusions.


    If we want a prosperous America, we need energy. We needs lots of it. We need it to be abundant. We need it to be affordable. And we need it to be domestic. We must break our dependence on unreliable sources of foreign oil. We must drill for our own oil and natural gas. We must mine and utilize our tremendous reserves of American coal. We must only supplement our reserves with oil from nations friendly to us, like our neighbors to the north. 


     Affordable and abundant energy is also vital to our national security. The United States Military consumes massive amounts of energy. The more affordable that energy is, the less of a burden the price of freedom is to the American taxpayer.


   Alas, Barack Obama is not interested in abundant, affordable American energy. The next time you hear him bloviating about the plight of America's poor and middle class, give him a middle finger, and duck; that growing nose could put your eye out.

You Don't Believe There Are Any Constitutional Rights Issues Here?

     "I don't believe there are any constitutional rights issues here."--Jay Carney, White House  Press Secretary


     "The administration believes that this proposal strikes the appropriate balance between respecting religious beliefs and increasing access to important preventative services."--Jay Carney, White House Press Secretary


     Mr. Carney, it doesn't matter what you believe. In fact, what you believe is the last thing that matters. It also doesn't matter what the administration believes. This isn't about striking an appropriate balance between respecting religious beliefs and increasing access to important preventative services. This is about the Constitution of the United States of America and this Congress and this President's blatant violation of it. 


     Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.--First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America


     The first amendment is not written in Greek so as to be hard to understand, Mr. Carney. The Congress of the United States has passed into law a bill that is in direct violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. They have passed a law that prohibits the free exercise of religion by the Catholic Church in America. Not only that, but the President has signed said law into effect. Mr. Carney, I'm here to let it be known that any law passed in violation of the Constitution of the United States of America is both null and void.



     No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except for cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.--Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America


     Not one single baby killed by the atrocity of abortion has ever had due process of law. Not one. Writing abortofacients into law violates the due process clause of the Fifth Amendment.



     The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.--Ninth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America


     Not only is this law in violation of the First and Fifth Amendments, I contend that it is also in violation of the Ninth Amendment.  The people have the right not only to worship freely, they have the right not to be forced to be accessories to what many of us believe is murder. We have a right to not be forced by our government to be guilty of what is a felony in 50 out of 50 states. 


     The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.--Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America


     Not only is this law in violation of the First, Fifth, and Ninth Amendments, but also the Tenth Amendment.  Nowhere in the Constitution will you find the authority for the Federal government to dictate what a person is required to purchase. Nowhere.


     Now Jay, do you really intend to stand there and tell me that you don't believe there are any constitutional rights issues here? You are a weasel and a liar, Jay Carney. You know good and well that there are constitutional rights issues here. It's just that you, Barack Obama, and the rest of the Marxists in Washington just don't really give a damn. The Constitution is just something that gets in your way.
