But! To my surprise what we were led to believe was wrong, a great majority of voters did not sweep the false prophet of change or his minions into office! The exact opposite was true, everyone understood!  The results of ambition and hard work are not a right, though the opportunity to advance your  station in life and the freedom to seek such advancement without government interference is.  Government will not be engineering a society where ambition and hard work is punished and those that lacked the same are rewarded. Whether you move up or not is a matter of free choice, government is not responsible. At their own peril, the media was finally understood to be in concert with the liberal elite in attempting to deceive the public through unashamed biased reporting. America as we grew up in was safe!

Then I awoke.

Higher taxes – nowhere does he tell us where the trillions of dollars for the price tag of his promised  new spending are coming from. Robin Hood baits the hook by proposing to tax the “rich” to give tax cuts to everyone else to feed the economy from the bottom up. “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need” said Karl Marx in 1875, and now Barack Hussein Obama in 2008! Never mind that the top 1% of all taxpayers already pay 40% of all taxes and the top 5% pay 60% of the taxes! Does he not remember how well the Regan tax cuts drove a prosperous economy for all?.

While advantage has it’s part in the manufacture of wealth it doesn’t prevent anyone from putting in the long hours and hard work so many people have invested in THEMSELVES to move up and generate wealth. Their wealth is what drives the economy, from the top down not the bottom up as Mr. Barack Hussein Obama would like us to believe. Who do you think contributes more to the economy and job creation? The Wal-mart greeter or other entry level employee who by their OWN (in)actions have refused to apply their effort to move upwards, who pays no taxes yet collects a “rebate” on taxes they didn’t pay! Who cries to the “Quick Mart” employee that high saleries for some are “unfair” for them, as they fork over $20, $30, $40 dollars or more for lottery tickets, cigarettes and beer! Or the “wealthy”  man who through hard work and education, aids in the creation of job growth, either directly through his or her business, or indirectly through the myriad of goods and services purchased as their station in life allows. He is generous in supporting local and other charities and often contributes twice to the education system by sending his children to private school while paying taxes into the local public school system. By the way Mr. Barack Hussein Obama is adamantly against school vouchers and school choice which would allow the rest of us to offer a better education to our children than they get in our failed public school system. A system that focuses on getting high raises and perks for the “teachers” at the expense or our children’s education, teachers whom are happily are bankrupting our towns and cities with binding arbitration awards, while brainwashing our youth with liberal double-speak! But that’s another topic. I could go on and on pointing out how the economy is driven by a high disposable income which translates into a robust job market with it’s opportunities for other fortunes to be made, so I hope you get my point. The bottom line is the opportunity is there it is up to the individual to take advantage of it.

Lest we forget my initial question, Barack Hussein Obama can’t raise enough new tax on the “rich” to even pay the cost of the new government employees needed for his proposed re-distribution. So he either reneges on his promises or he raises taxes on everybody.

Changing the Washington Culture, exactly what does that mean from the man who selected Joe Biden, a senator since 1972, as his running mate and is himself third on the list of PAC money received from the beneficiaries of the recent “bailout”! Right, who is he kidding, Slick Willie has nothing on this guy!

Oh gee, that’s it - that is what Mr. Barack Hussein Obama will do in Washington, that and have our troops killed in Afghanistan instead of Iraq. Legitimize dictators like Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejadand and “our good friend in Venezuela” Hugo Chavez, while seeking direction from his roll models and mentors like race baiting, America hating Reverend Wright, Louis Farrakhan the national representative of the Nation of Islam and a critic of American society and unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayres http://powerlineblog.com/archives/2008/04/020358.php . Why do you suppose that Russia, Hamas, Iran and Islamists endorse Barack Hussein Obama?

Wake Up and be careful what you wish for.

 

These ads would have us believe that a yes vote will allow evil and un-named “Special Interest Groups” to destroy our “voter’s rights”! How absurd is that premise and how ignorant do the real Special Interest Groups looking to further suppress the will of the voters think we are? When was the last time we voted on binding arbitration, a three strikes law, abortion on demand or homosexual marriage to name a few? A yes vote on Question 1 will only allow  bringing an initiative up for a vote before the people, a MAJORITY of Connecticut voters MUST approve any such initiative before becoming law. Please explain how that can destroy our voter’s rights.

Judges are supposed to uphold the law NOT make law, binding arbitration is bankrupting our cities and towns, giving groups like the CEA, and public employee unions salaries and perks unheard of in private industry. Taxes are out of control and it’s time that we voters have a voice in how our hard earned monies are spent. Connecticut has three times as many public employees per capita then the national average and the “public service” (an oxymoron to most of us) sector is still leading in job growth!

The following named groups are advocating a defeat of Question 1, a defeat that would continue to prevent voters from having a say in the way our laws are written and our government run. Are these NOT “Special Interests” , who are they kidding!

• Connecticut Education Association
• National Education Association American
• Federation of Teachers
• Liberals Like Christ
• American Civil Liberties Union of CT
• CT Transadvocacy Coalition
• CT National Organization for Women
• NARAL Pro-Choice CT
• CT Assoc. of Public School Superintendents
• Love Makes a Family
• Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders
• Planned Parenthood of CT
• Queers Without Borders
• Trial Lawyers Association
• Coalition for Reproductive Choice of CT

As there is no compelling reason not to have a constitutional convention, could they be afraid of a yes vote, believing that a MAJORITY of Connecticut voters do not approve of their positions? For all we know they have the majority in their corner, but we can never know unless it comes to a popular vote.

We must not miss this opportunity to have OUR voices heard. Vote YES on question 1 and let the people decide if we are to be shepherds or sheep.
