Religion in America

While church attendance in America may be on the decline, religion in America flourishes! Consider the following religions:

• Global Warming
• Abortion
• Environmentalism
• Progressivism
• Liberalism
• Keeping-Up-With-The-Joneses
• In the case of members of Congress, the religion of Remaining-Relevant or Maintaining-My-Popularity-for-the-Georgetown-Cocktail-Party-Circuit
• The most damaging religion in America is that of Party-Above-Reason. This is the religion that worships a political party above all else. Despite evidence of looming bankruptcy, debt and deficits at record highs, record levels of high unemployment, record low levels of labor force participation, dismal economic statistics, perpetual $3.50 gallon of gas, lower levels of income, record levels of food stamp recipients, willful misrepresentation of legislation, lies, deception, cover-ups, cronyism, lack of accountability, record levels of people on disability, and a dead American Ambassador, many Americans refuse to hold the government accountable for its complete ineptitude because their religion precludes them from such.

Look into the Future

Want to look into the future of Obamacare? Of healthcare administered by The State? Of rationing of care? Of death panels? Look no further than Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius' callous response to an appeal for a change in the national organ donor rules in order to save the life of a 10-year old girl.

As you listen to Sebelius say, "someone lives and someone dies", carefully consider the fact that the 2,000+ page Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) grants vast discretion to the HHS secretary to implement and interpret the law.

Now fast-forward 5 or 10 years from now, when the law is fully implemented, when your aging mother or grandmother or infant niece needs aggressive medical care but is being denied by Washington. What do you do? Go crawling and begging to your Congressman?

This is what happens to a society that puts God in a backpack rather than a pedestal. We forget that everyone is made in His image and we allow a secularist minority to run the country.

It is very sad and very troubling.

Pushing an Agenda

How do you gain and maintain power when your agenda conflicts with the majority of the population and you cannot win the debate on its merits? You lie, cheat, intimidate, and bribe.

Lies: Benghazi cover-up. Obamacare is not a tax, your premiums will go down, and it will lower the deficit. Global warming. Claim your opponents are racists, bigots, and homophobic. Fast and Furious. Consequences of sequester cuts. 

Cheating: IRS scandal. Voter intimidation. Illegal voter registrations. Recess appointments. Chrysler bondholders during the GM bailout. 

Intimidation: Gibson Guitar raid. NLRB and Boeing. Occupy Wall Street. Union thuggery. EPA regulations. Fox News reporter James Rosen. Releasing the names of Romney donors on Obama reelection website (some were also audited by the IRS).

Bribery: Record numbers of people on disability and food stamps. Millions receive perpetual welfare payments, housing subsidies, and cell phones. Corporate welfare and bailouts. Crony capitalism.

The Most Transparent Administration in History

“This is the most transparent administration in history” ~ Obama in February.

Let's count the ways:

1. Obamacare – No debate on C-SPAN as promised, the bill was not put online for five days as promised, no one read the bill, it passed the House using budget reconciliation, and bribed senators.
2. Benghazi
3. IRS scandal
4. His college records
5. Fast and Furious
6. Drone attacks

On the other hand, he has been very transparent in regards to his ideological motivations:

1. "I want to spread the wealth around"
2. "Punish your enemies"
3. "I don’t want them punished with a baby" speaking about one of his daughters getting pregnant. 
4. "God bless you” addressing Planned Parenthood
5. "I believe in American Exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism."
6. “You didn’t build that!”
7. “It's not surprising then that they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion . . ."
8. “Under my plan of cap and trade, electricity prices will necessarily skyrocket”
9. "We can't -- drive our SUVs and you know, eat as much as we want and keep our homes on you know, 72 degrees at all times . . .”
10. "Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller."
11. “I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money”

Remember when

Remember when during the Bush administration one of our Ambassadors was assassinated?

Then we found out that the Bush administration sent multiple stand-down orders to Special Forces forbidding them from launching a rescue attempt. 

Then we found out that, despite the fact that Bush’s State Department knew the assassination was carried out by terrorists, they told the world that the attack was caused by an obscure YouTube video.  

Then we found out that people who were actually at the scene of the attack were told by the Bush administration NOT to cooperate with congressional investigators? 

Then we found out that the official investigation conducted by the Bush State Department failed to interview one of the key players from the night of the attack. 

Then we found out that whistle blowers were demoted by the Bush administration. 

Then, during the congressional hearings, we watched party hacks from the Republican Party blame budget cuts and say stupid things like, “death is a part of life, so often we have to find a way to make life a part of death .”

Of course none of that happened during the Bush administration nor did the congressional Republicans do any such thing but the Obama administration and his State Department did every single one of these things in regards to the attack on the Benghazi, Libya consulate.
