“Dependency is death to initiative, to risk taking and opportunity. It’s time to stop the spread of government dependency and fight it like the poison it is.” - Mitt Romney
His Barackness loves to refer to the “audacity of hope” when recalling his many acts of personal heroism. Unfortunately, the hope to which he so maniacally clings is not often accompanied by the “audacity of truth.” In the utopian world Obama has created for himself and those who worship at his altar of deceit, the truth is gasping for air. The truth is neglected, ostracized, punished, and left to die while glory is found in hype and charm.
Mitt Romney, once again finds himself battling this very resistance to truth. A video came out, as they always seem to do when opposition to Barackology is involved, in which Romney states that "There are 47 percent who are with {His Barackness}, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it."
What did he say there that isn’t true? This is what the uproar is about. This is what Obama himself has called “shocking.”
How is it shocking Mr. “President?” You have worked very hard to create an atmosphere of dependency. Is it shocking that someone was smart enough to catch on or that they had the scrotum contents to call you out on it? What’s shocking is the fact that you, the President of the United States, would dare to call the words of your political opponent “shocking” but can’t summon such stern rhetoric in response to the loss of American lives in the Middle East. What’s “shocking” is the fact that you care more about the respect you feel you are owed than you do about the people giving it to you.
Nevermind the fact that the comments were made by Mitt Romney back in May at a fundraiser. This was not a policy speech. Romney wasn’t even the official nominee yet, but these words are seen as the nail in Romney’s coffin by the left and the loyal little handbag Chihuahuas in the media. They’ve been yipping and piddling on their newspapers all morning. Romney was responding to people who were considering investing large sums of cash into his campaign and Obama is “shocked?” So, fundraisers at George Clooney, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Jay-Z’s house are fine? Those aren’t shocking, huh? You were nice to conservatives with every word you said or will say in these events, huh Mr. “President?”
Mitt Romney should not have to defend the truth. 47% of the people in the United States are going to vote for Obama no matter what. That’s what Romney was saying. It’s a fact. This idea that these words are insensitive and worthy of apology is preposterous. It’s a distraction and it’s fulfilling Obama’s goal of keeping the campaign focused on anything but his record. Reminds me of a saying my grandmother used to share often: Sweeping a turd under the rug won’t make it smell any better.
Nevermind the statistical accuracy in the statements. 47% of the people in America were offended by Mitt Romney having the audacity to shine a light on their dependency so naturally Romney has “disdainfully written off half the nation,” according to Obama for America Campaign Manager Jim Messina.
Well, Jim…..here’s a few other numbers you may want to consider:
· 2.1 Billion – That’s the number of Christians in the world who were “disdainfully written off” when Obama referred to them as “clingers” in his 2008 campaign.
· 65 – 70 Million – That’s the number of Catholics in America who were “disdainfully written off” with ObamaCare’s Contraception Mandate.
· 27 Million – That’s the number of small business owners in America who were “disdainfully written off” when Obama said “you didn’t build that.”
· 7.8 Million – That’s the population of Israel. “Disdainfully written off” as Obama welcomes members of the Muslim Brotherhood into the White House but refuses meetings with Benjamin Netanyahu; “disdainfully written off” as Obama provides shelter under resumè padding, pseudo-democracy he has spread in Middle East.
· 6 TRILLION – That’s the amount of dollars Obama has “disdainfully written off” by passing on the outstanding balance to our children.
· 286 Million – That’s the number of Americans who believe in God and were disgusted with the ridiculous “vote” at the Democratic Convention. We were all “disdainfully written off” as was democracy itself in that shameful glimpse into the self-serving mayhem that is the new Democratic Party.
· 2 – That’s the number of Credit Downgrades assigned to the United States under the careful watch of Barack Hussein Obama. Our credit was “disdainfully written off” while Obama partied with celebrities.
· 23 Million – The number of unemployed people who continue to be “disdainfully written off” by manipulated labor statistics and forced government dependence.
· 49,000 – That’s the number of taxpayer dollars being lost or “disdainfully written off” with every ideology fueled purchase of the highly combustible, government mandated, Chevy Volt.
· 1 Billion – That’s the approximate number of dollars spent or “disdainfully written off” on Guantanamo Bay since 2009 when Barack Obama had just completed a campaign in which he promised to shut down the facility.
· 173,000 – The number of new food stamp recipients created under Obama’s watch. Work ethic has been “disdainfully written off.”
· 48 – That’s the number of days left until the 2012 Presidential Election. Are we going to allow logic to be “disdainfully written off” until then?
As Paul Ryan said last week “no one is better at striking heroic poses against imaginary enemies” than Barack Obama. These issues Obama keeps trying to force down our throats are not the issues with which we are concerned. Unfortunately though, this is the battle our current “President” believes he is in. He doesn’t see himself or his country as being threatened by Islamic extremism because in his mind he killed bin Laden. He honestly believed Islam would praise him but instead, they are vowing to avenge the death of their leader. Yet he dares to call Romney “new” to foreign policy. In his mind, Obama believes America is voting for the best speaker. The best wordsmith.
We have to take this election. It’s time to show Romney that he has enough support to ignore the distractions Obama keeps throwing at him. It’s time to give him the breathing room he needs. It’s time to unite and to take back this country from the 47% who are happier to take than to earn. Calling them out is not a mistake. Calling them out is not the nail in Romney’s coffin unless WE allow it to be.
It’s time to bring abundant shame down upon the 47% Romney spoke of. It’s time to return a degree of guilt to a life unearned. Obama’s praise is demanded in return for handouts. America has ceased to be the land of the free and is now the land of the free crap. The flow of dependency programs to those willing to accept them can only be redirected with our rudders of truth but we have to unite and stick them down forcefully into the unyielding current of Obama’s hype. We HAVE TO.
Stand up and defend Romney with the same vehement strength of those willing to take everything you own to avoid working for it themselves. Otherwise, you’ll eventually be one of them.
As always, thanks for playing!
