On this day when we celebrate independence, it’s good to remind ourselves that others around the world are still not – and may never been free. For instance the people of Iran stood up in these last weeks to free themselves from the tyranny of oppression from their current regime. From all points it appears that it has failed for now, no thanks to President Obama who’s silence helped to seal that fate.

Obama has the audacity to speak about a “Spirit of Independence”, all while stripping us of the very constitutional rights we won all those many years ago.

Today he issued his weekly statement and in it, instead of celebrating our freedom, he used it for an opportunity to hard sell even more of his ramrod socialist programs which will take away our freedom and bankrupt America.

Let’s examine:

Now is the time to lay a new foundation for growth and prosperity. Now is the time to revamp our education system, demand more from teachers, parents, and students alike, and build schools that prepare every child in America to outcompete any worker in the world.

Translation: View This:

Now is the time to reform an unsustainable health care system that is imposing crushing costs on families, businesses, large and small, and state and federal budgets. We need to protect what works, fix what’s broken, and bring down costs for all Americans. No more talk. No more delay. Health care reform must happen this year.

Translation: Shut up and pay up, in the words of Joe Biden it’s your &$&#@ patriotic duty to pay up! This trillion dollar version of Hillary Care II will prove the end of capitalism and the beginning of a socialist welfare state.

And now is the time to meet our energy challenge – one of the greatest challenges we have ever confronted as a people or as a planet. For the sake of our economy and our children, we must build on the historic bill passed by the House of Representatives, and make clean energy the profitable kind of energy so that we can end our dependence on foreign oil and reclaim America’s future.

Translation: More taxes, on those making $40,000 and more. That “historic bill” will do nothing, as it addresses problems that are no more than theories. It’s simply just one more way to take away your independence on how you spend YOUR money and turn it over to the Government.

These are some of the challenges that our generation has been called to meet. And yet, there are those who would have us try what has already failed; who would defend the status quo. They argue that our health care system is fine the way it is and that a clean energy economy can wait. They say we are trying to do too much, that we are moving too quickly, and that we all ought to just take a deep breath and scale back our goals.

These naysayers have short memories. They forget that we, as a people, did not get here by standing pat in a time of change. We did not get here by doing what was easy. That is not how a cluster of 13 colonies became the United States of America.

“Naysayers”.

How about patriots!
