Liberal Congressman Brags, “The Federal Government Can Do Most Anything”
Posted on 02. Aug, 2010 by Tommy Newberry.
California Congressman Pete Stark reveals for us the dangerous mindset of big government proponents. Out of touch, out of step, and soon to be out of office…
Those with this “socialist” worldview believe that the state is supreme and the individual is subordinate or secondary to priorities of the government. These folks are genuine when they claim that, “The Federal Government Can Do Most Anything.” And, many more of these individuals than we previously realized are lurking in Congress and they need to be identified, outed and then surgically removed by voters this November.
This perverse outlook, that individual rights come from the Federal Government and that it can do “most anything” to the individual causes all sorts of friction and hostility because a nation is really nothing but millions of individuals seeking to express their uniqueness. This is a shame, especially here in the USA, because American virtues begin with the individual, with the freedom of the individual to make his life into whatever he desires and is willing to work for.
Nonetheless, this is the classic statist and by extension, socialist tenet. The truth, however, is that God made each of us a unique, one of a kind work of art and we are enormously valuable in His eyes. To God, each one of us is an unrepeatable miracle.
As parents, we can identify with this assessment based on experience with our own kids. Each and every one of our own children is priceless and irreplaceable. We’d never think of sacrificing the dreams and ambitions of even one child for the greater good of the family unit.
Ayn Rand aptly noted that, “The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. Psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, Viktor Frankl recognized the sanctity of every individual life when he wrote, “Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone’s task is unique as his specific opportunity to implement it.
One of the main reasons we have been as richly blessed as a nation is that our system of liberties, rooted in free-will, has allowed individuals to flourish, to come alive as artists and athletes, as entrepreneurs and entertainers, as school teachers and firefighters, as corporate tycoons and political leaders.
This is a good thing.
God made us, not as a group, but as purpose-filled, individual souls, as one of a kind and distinct.
One of the tired, but doggedly persistent accusations from the Left is that those who disagree with or dare to criticize Barack Obama must “hate” the president or be a racist. The evidence for this accusation amounts to the fact that the president happens “not to be white.” Despite the intellectual shallowness of such empty [...]

In a recent poll conducted by James Carville’s firm, 55% of likely voters think “socialist” is a reasonable description of President Obama. But is this really a surprise?

The Utter Stupidity and Waste of Big Government: Example 1 of 3,496
Posted on 17. Jun, 2010 by Tommy Newberry.
If I told you that more than 50 days into the Gulf oil disaster, clean up boats would be turned away from doing their job by the Coast Guard so they could check for fire extinguishers, life jackets, would you believe me? Maybe the Coast Guard was trying to confirm that the ships were all [...]

Nancy Pelosi-Having A Goodtime Spending Other People’s Money
Posted on 15. Jun, 2010 by Tommy Newberry.
It is not exactly surprising to learn that a government employee is playing fast and loose with taxpayer money, but did you hear that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s new office space is costing us $18, 736 PER MONTH for 3075 square feet (that’s a whopping $73 a square foot). This struck me more than usual because [...]

One ironic positive that has come out of the BP oil spill is a re-affirmation of the reality that government cannot fix all of our problems. This is a bitter pill for a Statist such as Barack Obama to swallow. For someone who sees the federal government (and quite likely himself) as the savior of [...]

The jobs report produced this past Friday was disappointing to those of us in the business world, but a dream come true for the statist. President Barack Obama said, “this report is a sign that our economy is getting stronger by the day.” Apparently his notion of a healthy economy is an one driven by [...]
