After 7+ excruciating years of Barack (the Destroyer of Class Mobility) Obama as President, the Financial Crisis, with its Bank Stress Tests, tightened Credit Policies and Zero Percent Interest Rates is still not over. Those called Wall Street Banksters are still making money thanks to the Crony Capitalism. Yet loans to those unworthy of credit because of past failures to repay debts are still demanded by many (who are racial minorities), claiming discrimination. Small Businesses, the backbone of the Economy, the fertile place where Entrepreneurism becomes reality through hard work and most of the job growth and entry level jobs are created are starved for capital.
With Barack (the Destroyer of the Middle Class) Obama as President, the middle class has been decimated by his policies. We've watched as he intentionally has bankrupted the coal industry (for claimed environmental reasons) and forced all of the North American Class 1 railroads to look for other commodities as means to support base operations. Say good bye to (middle class) Coal Mining and (high paying, upper middle class) Railroad Operations Jobs. He dawdled on making a decision about the Keystone Pipeline, which would have shortened the pipeline routing of oil from the Oil Sands of Alberta and the Light Sweet Crude Oil of the North Dakota Bakken oil field (also for environmental reasons, which ironically, cause both of these types crude oils to be shipped by rail, where the light sweet crude is far more likely to burn in an accidental derailment). This killed off both Steel Mill jobs making pipe and Pipe Laying Jobs to include Welders, Pipeline Construction and Compression/Pump Station Construction Jobs. All of these jobs were high paying, upper middle class jobs.
The only real job expansion that we've had since Obama (the Destroyer of the American Dream) took over the office of President is in the Petroleum industry, specifically through the exploration and extraction of Oil and Natural Gas by Fracking. And while he's tried to stop this, through prohibiting further exploration and extraction by American Companies in the Gulf of Mexico, prohibiting the further exploration and extraction on Federal Lands, the industry has been successful, until recently, when the new King of Saudi Arabia decided to "go to mattresses" by dropping the price of oil to levels that were below the cost of extraction in the United States (Good-bye high paying, upper middle class jobs for oil and gas workers). As a long term strategy, this won't work, but employees have to live now, in the short term.
Additionally, President Barack Obama (The Destroyer of Hope) has found a way to confiscate water rights, putting additional financial pressure on both Ranchers (horse, cattle, sheep and goat) and Farmers (Family and Commercial). Neither of these vocations has had great stability, due to weather and markets. Each year's crops are a crap shoot, where the farmer or rancher plays the odds and prays for the best. You've got to love the land (and probably your heritage as a farmer) to do this job. Entry cost barriers are high for the land and the machinery required to plow, plant, sew and reap. It make a living, but you've got to love the life.
And Barack (our "leading from behind," Commander-in-Chief) Obama, has cut the Military budget to the point where the Military is shedding its current group of volunteer men and women soldiers sailors and airmen. Young men and women who feel the call to defend their country and learn a trade no longer can enter the military, due to the budgetary cuts. The forces have been shrunk to a point where readiness is questionable and exercises to teach readiness cannot be afforded, due to personnel or money. We're losing patriots as well as the system that is generally the alternative to both college and apprenticeship (both union and non-union) into Middle class jobs.
But what he might consider to be his greatest achievement is Barack (the Destroyer of Freedoms) Obama's war against the culture. He has turned Political Correctness up to a whole new level, accusing those who are against him of Racism and suing local Police Departments for "Civil Rights" violations, when any Black Person is killed by a white Police Officer. He has bullied the Supreme Court into calling the Tax for failure to sign up for Obamacare, a "Penalty" that was unconstitutionally originated in the Senate. He has Forced the American People to choose Obama Care, enriching Insurance Companies that provide "gap coverage policies." He has Forced those who are granted Freedom of Religion to Go Against Conscience and comply with purchasing insurance that provides coverage for Abortion or to file suit just to have their Constitutional Right to Freedom of Religion protected.
Sir Isaac Newton's 3rd Law of Motion, states that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." I've found that this law is generally true in politics as well.
Albert Einstein is credited for having said "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
So with the ongoing destruction of the American Dream, the Middle Class, Class Mobility, Hope, Entrepreneurship, Entry Level Jobs, the Military and Freedoms granted in the Constitution, is there ANY SURPRISE that the supposed antidote to all of these maladies, Donald Trump is making huge waves in this year's elections? He destroys Political Correctness with straight talk that is sometimes as crude as that of a Red Necked Blue Collar Worker. His campaign slogan of "Make America Great Again," is the stuff of which American Dreams are made, harkening back to the Ronald Reagan's slogans of "Are you better off today than you were 4 years ago" and "It's morning again in America."
A few months ago, Democrat pollster, Pat Caddell spoke at the David Horowitz Freedom
Center's 2015 Restoration Weekend. In his Keynote Speech at the Opening
Breakfast Pat said "We stand -- we have not even seen the chaos yet that is about
to be unveiled. Everything else has been almost a precursor to
this. And how it ends I do not know yet, but I want to give you
the parameters of it.
We have in this country two mindsets. Well, we have mine, and
then we have the mainstream political class analysis, mainstream
media, and all the people who are so upset, because nothing they
believe is coming true. They start from a premise that there
are only two parties, and that nothing changes, and that it is a
totally divided country, and it is a matter of inches of what
happens politically.
And then there is the new reality, which is, as I've said, a
country which is not just in revolt, but something greater. I
am writing a piece right now announcing our results. And I
start with the story of saying -- in 1796, I think it was.
Whatever it was, when the Bastille fell -- '89, I guess. Louis
XVI was in Versailles and [Nicolas], his finance minister, came
to him, who was supposed to solve all the problems, and told the
king about the fact that the Bastille had fallen,
and Necker told him that. And the king responded -- is this a
revolt? And Necker sighed and said -- no, Sire, I fear this is
a revolution."
(Full disclosure: I like Pat Caddell. He may be the only honest Democrat that we have left. More importantly, he's truthful and gives an honest view of what is really happen in politics, not the typical distorted view of politics from "inside of the Beltway.")
For the past 7 years, Barack Obama and the Democrats have insisted that they have had the only plan that was reasonable, viable and doable. With willing accomplices in the Democrat Media Apparatchik, shilling for the ACA, the unpopular plan was forced down the throats of the majority unwilling American citizens with ample carve outs for Muslim religious preference (to HELL with you damned Christians), Congress (of course - do what I say, not what I do) and FREE healthcare for our undocumented immigrants. Of course there's one little catch: When you sign up for this mandatory health care plan, you must also voluntarily give the Government FULL ACCESS to YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS. They decided to Bankrupt Coal and subsidize Wind and Solar Power, killing off many good paying jobs, in the Coal Mining Industry, the Railroad and even trucking industries. They delayed the Keystone Pipeline decision for 6+ years until it was politically expedient (after the last Congressional Election that Obama would have to deal with) only to deny it, killing potential jobs at steel mills and pipeline construction companies. They've forced Forgive me, but this sounds awfully familiar. It reminds me of when the citizens of Egypt came to Joseph in the 6th year of a 7 year famine
The old commercial by the Forestry Service had Smokey the Bear
saying, "only you can prevent Forest Fires." However,
politicians have been only too happy to seed multiple fires, by ruling
against the will of the people, hurting them economically and taking
away their rights.
It only takes a spark to start a fire and in the
tender box of a
collapsing world economy, sparks need to be contained. Pat Caddell is
right: The Revolution is here.... Caddell was candid that "...Revolution is in the air...." He said "...I've done some research a little bit, again, inspired by Lee and some others. And we had found the most amazing results -- the American people don't want a cultural war. But as I wrote in the analysis, God help the one who starts it...."
As political correctness has taken
over and immigrants have not been forced to assimilate and blend into
the culture, the citizens have had enough. Blowback has changed the political narrative. Forcing Blue-Collar Democrats out of the party, by favoring the agenda of the "Greeniacs" has decimated the middle-class and created the Trump Monster that threatens to devourThe question is "Will it a
peaceful Revolution at the Ballot Box, or something much more permanent
and even violent?"
