DO YOU SHARE OBAMA'S OR OUR FOREFATHERS' VISION FOR AMERICA?

Did you wonder what candidate Obama meant when he promised he was five days away from fundamentally transforming America?



Compare these words of our forefathers with Obama's rhetoric.

Thomas Jefferson said

 "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.” 

"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."  

"If we were directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we would soon want for bread."

If any of our forefathers were alive today, would they seek out Marxist professors?



Can you imagine any of our forefathers shifting the blame to others as we see so often today?



Obama views the Constitution as deeply flawed, continuing to this day.

"Ultimately, though, I have to side with Justice Breyer’s view of the Constitution—that it is not a static but rather a living document, and must be read in the context of an ever-changing world."

How does that square with our forefathers' view of the Constitution?

"In matters of Power, let no more be heard of confidence in men, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." – Thomas Jefferson

"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government – lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." – Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." – Daniel Webster

Speaking of masters, Obama's Manufacturing Czar agrees with Mao: Power comes from the barrel of a gun:



How does that sync with our forefathers on the subject of tyranny?

"I have sworn upon the altar of god, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man." – Thomas Jefferson

"Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others?" – Thomas Jefferson

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." – Benjamin Franklin

"God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it." – Daniel Webster

"There are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by the gradual and silent encroachment of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpation." – James Madison

Are we witnessing the gradual and silent encroachment of those in power today? 

Are you happy with the way Obama is fundamentally transforming America, or are you hoping the 2010 and 2012 elections will return us to the America our forefathers intended  us to be?
