The Federal Government – Too Big to Succeed

Fred YoungWe continue to get bombarded almost daily by examples of political corruption and stupid political decisions. Objective media outlets will expose the real negative consequences, while the spin machines of the left and right will continue to be blinded by their own ideologies. What should frighten all of us is the collective damage these actions are wreaking on both our economy and the political foundation of our country.

The healthcare bill is nothing more than further erosion of our liberty through a greater expansion of the federal government into our personal lives. Let’s not forget the collateral damage imposed by an even larger destructive debt burden. No one argues that Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security are filled with fraud that totals over $100 billion each year (conservatively). When future projections of tax revenues and expenses for these three programs are considered, many people are not aware that we are already trillions of dollars in the hole. Stupidity is giving government bureaucrats more control over our economy when they have failed so miserably with these social programs. While having all of these expansive social safety nets can certainly make some people feel good, the perverse incentives and entitlement mentality they create are not good for the long term “psychological” strength of the country.  [...]

Maher Declares Obama Not Really a Christian

When someone says they don’t think President Barack Obama is actually a Christian, the expectation would be that they think he’s secretly a Muslim. Not Bill Maher. On tonight’s Real Time, in the process of arguing that Obama’s not really a centrist politically, Maher also revealed that he doesn’t think Obama’s actually Christian, either, but rather a secular humanist.

The belief Maher apparently holds – that Obama isn’t actually a Christian, but merely pretends to be one to keep up appearances for the sake of his political career – strikes us as one of the most cynical things anyone could possibly believe about Obama.

The Numbing Down of America

Fred YoungThere has been so much outrageousness in the Obama administration and throughout both parties of Congress that we have become numb to even the most despicable deeds. The appointment of Kevin Jennings is another example of Obama’s arrogance – he could care less what most people think. In some aspects, it may be worse than arrogance. He is deliberately populating his administration with people who hold views that are the antithesis of our founding principles.

Obama has put Jennings in the position of a “safe school czar”, a man who has a background that should have prevented his consideration. If that doesn’t insult our intelligence, I don’t know what will. And yet, there is very little outrage in the media, Congress, or anywhere. Our insulated and untouchable elected officials don’t seem to understand why people feel so angry.   [...]
