The Heritage Foundation - Leadership for America

October 20, 2009 Bob Russell, TX writes:

Obama is doing what he does best, and is good at it. He keeps people arguing over what he says while his henchmen shovel cash out the side door. His handlers have prepared him well, but he is a naive sacrificial goat. This strategy will work so long as the useful idiots continue to give him complete latitude to bring in big unions, ACORN, and illegal immigrants to overrun the numbers of thinking people. He uses derision as a weapon, aided and abetted by the MSM and facilitated by his handlers’ grasp of technology.

I read the comments in conservative e-letters, and everyone seems to believe that there will be an election in 2010 and 2012. If he gets what he wants, there will be no more meaningful elections.

All this is about is getting more money from the american people that actually have an income and give to those that don’t. Robbery

October 20, 2009 Lon Peterson, Riverside, CA writes:

If Obama honors his promise, the health reform bill will not be signed by him because it will raise taxes by more than the “one red cent” he spoke of in his speech to the joint session of Congress. Let’s just see if he’ll apologize to Joe Wilson when he’s caught in THAT lie.

Lon, you’ve just used the work Honor and Obama in the same sentence……

October 21, 2009 Benjamin, Washington, DC writes:

I should point out that the Washington Post poll numbers are deceptive. The 2% rise in support for a public option is still within the 3% margin of error of the poll. I suggest that that indicates that public opinion has not shift that much, if at all.

October 21, 2009 Brad S,, Detroit, MI writes:

Does anyone read the Washington Compost ? That paper is devoid of any facts or logic. It is a collection of Op-Ed pieces. A couple of weeks ago they “reported” the story of the abject failure of the Stim-useless package, but titled the article “Stimulus successes are helping the economy” or some other such drivel. Why should we believe any poll numbers that they come up with ?

The White House and Obama likely will cause so much chaos so that Barry S will call off the national elections in November, 2010, for the sake of public safety. The Communist coup will be complete. The Democrats, a range of communists, socialists and progressives, will applaud because their seats are safe and reelection is sure so long as they support the Messiah and his agenda.
Hitler never had it better. Obama will rejoice as Chavez rejoices. The Band of Looters in the Socialist-Communist world will rejoice; and their Nations sink to the bottom. Finished. Representative democracy is a great concept but the “brilliant ones” from the Ivy-League schools will rule until . . The Revolt will begin.

The back door is open, he will slip this in and we will pay. I will give obama credit for one thing, he believes his own lies, and is good at making people believe waht he says.The USA will change to the SRA, SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF AMERICA, THEN WE CAN LEARN TO SPEAK CHINESE, OR SPANISH, WHICH EVER OBAMA DEMS TO BE THE CHOSEN LANGUAGE AT THE TIME. HIS RULE BEGAN ON 1/20/09, AND HE IS DETERMINED TO HAVE HIS WAY WITH US.

October 21, 2009 Jeanne Stotler, Woodbridge writes:

The Washington Post is a very Liberal paper, it toted Obama and vilified McLain, it’s doing the same with Virginia’s Gov. race. I don;t trust their numbers anymore than I find a first grader able to do fractions. I used to watch NBC three times a day, I now switch to Fox as I was hollering at the TV on the eroneous news on NBC, What happened to Our reporters that told the truth not their opinions, Thank God for the likes of SEan Hannity, Mark Levis, Mike Church and Rush Limbaugh, but most of all thank You God for giving me a free will and a brain to decipher all this mess.

Mr. Glasscock, Preach It! Maybe if more of us keep screaming, more people will wise up.

It doesn’t have to be the way you described, if we act now!

Look at the Hungarian revolt of 1956-57, they waited too long to react and failed.

God bless,
Ham

October 21, 2009 Cheri, California writes:

James you are right on. The cool calm collected Obama is right on schedule. Even if you are not conservative, support Freedom of speech even for the droll left. As long as we can speak we can fight for FREEDOM! If “Healthcare Reform” passes, it will be the nail in the coffin of the ENTIRE US ecoonomy multipling the number of sick and untreated. We will all be the same (except the ELITE!) Broke and unable to provide for our own security. Protest, write, donate, do whatever you can to change the government players.
We need Legislative Reform, US Senate and Congressional reform. We need laws that protect us from BAD gaovernment. No immunity.

October 21, 2009 Bill Hermanson, MO writes:

We need to work diligently to retrieve our country from socialism and to regain our freedoms. One start is to value truth and those who tell the truth and to discourage and effectively criticize those who lie. One of the biggest problems we have today is that the public simply accepts that politicians lie to us, and elects them anyway. They are lying to us about the healthcare reform details and we cannot let them get away with it.

Must have been behind the door…when total control and freedom was alloted to President Obama and his merry band of “Organizers”. They do and say anything they please. Where are the warriors on the right? Has the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights been declared null and void? The whole world is watching this non-comic opera, while over two hundred years of American history is shoveled out the back door.

October 21, 2009 Jerry from Chicago writes:

Mr. Obama pledges that his health care reform bill “will absolutely not cover illegal aliens”. He knows that the Supreme Court has already ruled that federally mandated benefits applying to American citizens apply equally to those living in the U.S. whether citizens or not. So the bill passes excluding illegal aliens and 30 minutes later the first lawsuit is filed by the ACLU challanging the Constitutionality of excluding illegals. Zingo-bingo, they are covered; we pay for it; and Obama says “I didn’t do it”.

October 21, 2009 Hamilton Lake, MN writes:

Commrade Obama is using the same tactic perfected by old Joe Stalin, by making it look as if it’s the people working under him who are doing all the dirty work. i.e the Czars, ACLU, ACORN, ect.

In the old Soviet Union people who got halled off to the Gulag would say, “If only Stalin knew what was going on, he would not allow this injustice”.

It was never Stalin’s fault, It’s never Obama’s fault.

A Freedom Revolution to peacefully preserve the America we were given faces two main impediments: a) the timid, serial losers in the moderate-liberal McCain-Graham-Snowe wing of the GOP establishment who so wrongly assert the need to move further Left and, thus, even further away from the Conservative Center of American voters (Republicans, Independents and Reagan-Democrats); and b) the left-wing media which is now in serious decline but which will be saved by bailout money and regulatory excesses by the Obamanistas coupled with concentrated, vicious attacks and unprecedented abuse of federal governmental power against dissenting conservative print, broadcast (FOX and radio) and internet media-and our freedom of speech.

The remedies in both cases rest with a need for new, bold leadership in our existing political organization and in a massive “information campaign” as to our outrage directed to the advertising sponsors which provide the vital financial support to the media outlets which are facilitating the destruction of our free market capitalist system and our individual liberties.
