BANNING THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE

Once again, the socialist administration in Washington, D.C. has decided its political agenda to be far more important than the lives of We the People…especially those Americans living on or near the Gulf coast. It is becoming increasingly apparent that We the People are considered nothing more than a mere nuisance to the socialist objectives of central planning, high taxes and a strangle-hold on all of the important aspects of life as we once knew it.

After the Court struck down the administration’s initial ban on deep-water drilling, Obama’s Interior Department issued a new ban on drilling on July 12th. This time, the department indicated it will expect “new rules” to be developed by the end of August and most gulf oil rig operations to be halted through November 2010 so that rig operators can “prove” their rigs and procedures able to avoid future disasters.

Over 50,000 wells have been drilled in the Gulf of Mexico since the 1960s. The recent BP fiasco represents a two thousandths of one percent [.002%] failure rate over 50 years…an enviable record for any industry.

Further, the ban on drilling and operations, like Obama’s criticisms of the Arizona immigration law and the Henry Louis Gates affair, comes prior to discovery of the facts related to the cause of the BP leak. Neither BP, nor the US government’s inspectors, Department of Interior or special commission have discovered the cause of the leak or the actual events leading up to the disaster.

The new ban on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico demonstrates openly the arrogance of the 18-month old socialist administration. If that circumstance and all of its economic implications are not enough by themselves to convince onlookers of Obama’s disdain for our American way of life and the lives of Americans, in general, add to it the bizarre legal maneuvering taking place as Attorney General Holder challenges Arizona’s immigration bill prior to its taking effect. This, as illegal aliens cripple our education, hospital, prison and welfare systems and our state and federal budgets.

The Obama administration and the Democrat [Socialist] Congress have demonstrated, for eighteen months, obvious contempt for the concepts of individual liberty and responsibility, honor and capitalism. They have not simply inferred that contempt. They have legislated it while mocking the majority of American citizens and paving the way for law-breakers, invaders and parasites who are rapidly driving the United States toward bankruptcy and depression.

The naked truth is that the current socialist administration and all of its friends, agents and financial supporters place a higher value on replacing our “outdated” Constitution of the United States of America with form of government that has failed every attempt to rule by centralized control of the economy and political machinery.

There can be only one reason to so desperately pursue such a course against the most free and prosperous nation the world has ever known. In the name of “fairness”, the rulers will make themselves a rich, elite class…untouchable by the peons that produce that wealth. Such rulers would never consider placing themselves among the general citizenry who will do the work required to keep the ruling class in power. Once successful, the statist rulers will do what they must to maintain their positions of power. They will rule with an iron fist…and with the gun. There can be no other way.
