Watchin the game … havin a Bud
From American Thinker: American Idle
By Christopher S. Brownwell
President Obama is auditioning American Idle contestants. These non-producers of our society stole the show at his town meeting in Ft. Meyers, Florida on February 10, 2009. It was like watching a Saturday Night Live skit when a parade of sad sacks asked for handouts. Henrietta Hughes tearfully begged the President for a car, a kitchen and a bathroom. Julio Osegueda, overcome in spontaneous euphoria, asked the president what his plans are for giving him better benefits at his job for McDonald’s. A man, who was recently laid off and receiving the forced generosity of the American people through his unemployment check, ungratefully asked why the government did not compensate him for his entire salary.
It’s as if these losers of life’s lottery were expecting the president to turn water into wine or to take five loaves and two small fish and feed the entire nation. These examples are just the loudest illustrations of people in America growing up with a mentality of entitlement to their every desire.
As I mentioned in my own comment which I posted at American Thinker, our Founders were all too familiar with hardship … it’s a part of life. But find me that section in the Constitution which mandates any sort of government sponsored philanthropy! If society is truly moral, it will seek to assist the truly unfortunate at a grass roots level … but those who would CHOOSE idleness over industry should suffer the consequences: 2 Thessalonians 3:10 — “… If anyone isn’t willing to work, he should not eat.”
So, in reinforcing these bad behaviors, we can expect more of the same. That dynamic is the way of operation for the Democratic Party. Over the next two years we can expect more of these contestants who want to be the next “American Idle.”
Take heart. In 2010, we’ll have the opportunity to cancel this program.
Yer preachin to the choir Christopher. Fortunately, a few of the faithful have awakened to reality!
… and like this fellow says:
What can the average citizen do now? Not much. Tighten your belts for now. Work hard. Save what you can and spend wisely. Insist that the government and business sectors do the same.
Then come November 2010, let your voices be heard and make sure that every vote counts. Either that, or break out the pitchforks!
