SO... HOW IS HE NOT ANTI-AMERICAN AGAIN?

From Say Anything:

President-elect Barack Obama is calling on Americans to live up to the courage and sacrifice of the country’s founders as they strive to redeem the promise of freedom. (yahoo news)

Obama needs to crack a history book.

The American revolution was fought against the tyranny of big government. Too many regulations. Too many taxes. Not enough respect for private property and individual liberty. The American government was fought for decentralized government and more local control. That’s what the American revolution was about.

In 1775 this country went to war over taxes and overbearing government. Obama, who wants to raise taxes and raise government spending and expand government power over everything from cow farts to what level you have your thermostat set at, is quite the hypocrite in suggesting that he is a proponent of that revolution.


Of course, he's not the only one that needs to crack a history book. It would be nice if that was done in our education system occasionally. But then what am I thinking? Where would be the time for Self Esteem and Planned Parenthood classes? My bad.

There's a reason civics classes were dropped 20 years ago.

And there's a reason The One said this week that we need a "new declaration of independence"

How patriotic is THAT?!
