Obstructionism and the Party of No

By Douglas V. Gibbs

The accusation that the Republican Party is the "Party of No" is the Democrat Party's way of trying to convince the American People that the GOP is not willing to do anything except whatever benefits their party. If the Republicans are only saying "no" for the sake of saying "no," then that must mean they have no plan, no intention to fix our problems, and is simply doing what they do for the purpose of being obstructive to the Democrats - or at least that is the position of the liberal left members of the Political Party of the Donkey.

Democrats are hoping to lure Republicans into heated political arguments from a defensive position, spending all of their time trying to defend themselves against the Democrat accusations, rather than actually pursuing a conservative agenda. Americans, however, are wise to the tactic, and understand that it is yet another example of politics as usual.

The demonization of the GOP is part of what convinced the people to vote in the Congressional Democrats, and Barack Obama. But rather than fulfill campaign promises, the liberal Democrats have taken a bad situation in America, and has worsened it with increased spending, unconstitutional mandates, and a leftward lean into a socialist form of governance.

Extreme liberalism has its advantages. . . it always serves to wake up the people to the irresponsible, and downright dangerous, agenda of the Democrat Party. Americans have united against the Left because of an incredible onslaught of trillions in inconceivable deficits, new taxes, rising unemployment, government regulated health care, economic stagnation, and a shift of power from the achievers to parasites.

Standing up against such tyranny is attacked by the Democrats, and as a result of their opposition to the Leftist agenda, the Republicans have been branded obstructionists, and the "Party of No."

Obama is working to fulfill the dreams of his father. This means that Obama is intent on destroying any free system he believes not to be a fair and compassionate society on the Obama standard of Marxism. Never mind that his hero, dear old dad, was an anti-colonialist who was a part of turning Kenya into a bloody landscape of death.

The President has no concern over high unemployment rates, Iran's nuclear weapons, a staggering private sector, or anybody's freedoms. His goal is to punish America. We have been too prosperous for too long, as far as Obama is concerned, and he endeavors to change our system at the fundamental level.

Anyone who stands in his way are simply obstructionists.

Though Obama does not care, the Democrats around him are living in fear and rage. The liberals are angry because Obama is acting like he desires to win in Afghanistan, rather than get our troops out faster than yesterday. Troops remain in Iraq, and Guantanamo Bay is still open. What kind of liberal is he?

Obama is something worse, and the "Party of No" realizes it, which is why they do try to obstruct everything the radical president tries to accomplish.

Obama is pure Marxist, with a European socialist streak in him that makes him desire to rise to the level of an international leader. He has no sense of what is American, or what the Founding Father's intended, because his agenda does not allow for such examples of freedom. The people, as far as Mr. Obama is concerned, are stupid and uneducated, and it is up to the government to interpret "The General Will," and apply legislation and regulations as they deem fit.

Sounding like the world of Winston Smith yet?

But Obama's contempt for the average person doesn't stop at that general brush stroke. He, and his leftist cronies, have a truly vile contempt for white folks, and for all the achievements of Western civilization. The U.S. Constitution, to Obama, is merely a document written by a bunch of white slave owners, and is a document filled with negative rights, and obstacles to centralizing the federal government. So, he ignores the Constitution, seeking power the federal government was never intended to have. And with Obama at the helm, the Democrats have become so seduced by their own absolute power that they are losing touch with reality, and are even proclaiming that November will not be as bad on Democrats as the Conservatives are proclaiming.

The Democrats believe what they are offering is hope and change, and a new way of thinking. But Obama and friends are stuck in an ideology that's fifty years out of date, and a failed ideology at that.

Anytime hard left liberalism is tried, the results are always the same. The systems under leftist control become stagnated, and the people fall into mass poverty.

Big government has been beaten back in the past, and Americans can do it again. We must continue to obstruct the tyranny of leftism, be the Party of "Hell No," and return our nation to the laws put forth by the U.S. Constitution. To do any less may result in the collapse of our free society, and contribute to the rise of a system that will ultimately become an oligarchy run by fools like the Obama Administration, and the Congressional Democrats.

And that would be utterly disastrous.
