SEE HERE Thoroughly predictable of course. We frame a series of questions designed to label your opponent as an extremist, questions which have not answer in a few words or perhaps are simply intended to imply that you're suspect. Perhaps the best thing to do is point out that this is a form of "hate" speech? I hate that term. It has no meaning other than to label the person accused, but that's what they're trying to do. I'll write down what I think of the questions:* Do you believe that Barack Obama is a U.S. citizen? — I don't know if he is a citizen because I don't have access to virtually any of his records. He is very secretive and so you have to wonder what he is trying to hide?
* Do you think the 10th Amendment bars Congress from issuing regulations like minimum health care coverage standards? — Actually I think that the constitution makes no provision for the federal government to be in the health care business whatsoever. The only reason the 10th amendment is in play at all is that it says that powers not expressly given by the constitution are reserved to the states. I think the federal government is a bloated white albatross hanging around the necks of all Americans and should be made a whole lot smaller.
* Do you think programs like Social Security and Medicare represent socialism and should never have been created in the first place? — More like Ponzi schemes that are structurally unstable and incapable of being sustained. The certainly emerge from a kind of socialist mindset which has been characterized of late as the "Nannie State." I don't really need the government as my nursemaid and if they took less of my money I could provide all the services that they pretend to provide by myself. As Will Rogers is said to have said:"I am less interested in the return on my money and the return of my money."
* Do you think President Obama is a socialist? — He's on record as being a socialist in his own words and he's also on record as surrounding himself with Marxists and Marxist radicals, so I'd apply the adage my mother used to use:"Birds of a feather flock together."
* Do you think America should return to a gold standard? — A gold standard is just a promise to exchange something of real value for the paper that we're printing. It doesn't have to be gold, but some standard seem necessary before the government inflates all the value away. Failure to have a stable currency is one of the cruelist acts of all on the part of government since it steals from those who are aged the benefits of their frugality and rewards those who live for no tomorrow and spend their money as fast as they get it. In short it is a socially destabilizing policy and should be corrected. The gold standard is one way, but there are a lot of others.
Hope that's helpful Demon-crats. But I'm not running for anything.

ReplyDeleteObama has posted the official birth certificate of Hawaii, and the fact that he was born in Hawaii was twice confirmed by the officials in Hawaii (members of a Republican governor's administration.)
The Wall Street Journal commented:
“Obama has already provided a legal birth certificate demonstrating that he was born in Hawaii. No one has produced any serious evidence to the contrary. Absent such evidence, it is unreasonable to deny that Obama has met the burden of proof. We know that he was born in Honolulu as surely as we know that Bill Clinton was born in Hope, Ark., or George W. Bush in New Haven, Conn.”
