America’s Ugly Mood
Made popular 326 days ago in Opinion
canadafreepress.com — Elected on the promise of “hope and change”, Obama has destroyed the hopes of millions of Americans
The present ugly mood in the nation is directly traceable to the man who is the worst president ever elected to that high office, Barack Hussein Obama. His utter lack of regard for our guiding instrument of governance, the Constitution, is rivaled by his contempt for all Americans.

The June 25th Rasmussen Reports polls found that 55% wanted the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold Arizona’s immigration law. (It struck down most of it but retained the state’s right to authorize police to request proof of citizenship.) 54% favored repeal of Obama’s healthcare law and, as we know, it was retained based on being deemed a tax.

Elections always exacerbate the nation’s mood and, in a nation that is so evenly divided between conservatives and liberals, their outcome has often been decided by “independents”, voters that swing in either direction depending on events and candidates. It’s a toss of the coin whether Obamacare or the economy will be the driving issue of the November elections.

A look back at American history provides an answer to why the economy is suffering though frankly it may offer little comfort. That said, it is still worth knowing where we came from to reach this present point.

America has been through previous recessions and even a Great Depression, but what is generally unknown is that they were the result of presidents and congresses that did not understand the workings of the nation’s free market economy.

It was Lincoln who put in place tariffs to protect American manufacturing and they stayed in place even through Franklin Roosevelt’s struggle to deal with the Great Depression. Following the end of World War II, the average U.S. import tariffs on durable goods fell from almost 30% to around 8%.

The virtual removal of tariffs and the embrace of global “free trade” are at the heart of the nation’s present financial crisis.

Dr. Seuss on the Current State of Affairs....

I do not like this Uncle Sam,

I do not like his health care scam.

I do not like these dirty crooks,

Or how they lie and cook the books.

I do not like when Congress steals,

I do not like their secret deals.

I do not like ex-speaker Nan ,

I do not like this 'YES, WE CAN!'

I do not like this spending spree ---

I'm smart; I know that nothing's free.

I do not like your smug replies,

when we complain about your lies.

I do not like this kind of hope.

I do not like it --- nope, nope, nope!

Remember, NObama in November!

The Republican Congress is the Killer of hopes and dreams of the American people.
Their policies suppress the people at the bottom half to keep everything for the people in the top half.

@Free, it amazing that you have it exactly backward. I'm beginning to believe that you are actually a member of the bottom half yourself and that you spend all your time blaming everyone but yourself for your plight. Wake up and fix your life if you're not happy with it. Even when the government gives somthing to you it isn't for your benefit, it's for their benefit!

Free, have you ever had a real job? You know, like in the private sector or are you just another continually whining and bitching liberal complainer?
