ID Requirement to Enter Congressional Gym Is Racist

You might think it’s reasonable to require ID before you vote.  In Chicago, this requirement would tend to keep ghosts from voting as much as they do now.  However, as smart Liberals say, it's racist to require ID to vote.  Using their superior reasoning, this ignorant red neck thinks it's also racist to require ID for food stamps, plane rides, cashing checks or entering government buildings.  Everyone should be able to use the Congressional gym without ID.  Anything less is racist.  (Liberals, this may sound attractive to you, but it's sarcasm.)

Government Power Corrupts Government



 The article linked below expresses puzzlement about why Conservatives think Liberals are Socialists or worse.  My answer is that Liberal politicians are in it for the power.  The more control the Federal Government has the better for Liberals.  Liberals never explain the limits that should be imposed on government because they don't believe that there is any problem government can't solve.  For Liberals, government should be unlimited, so it can help people whenever and wherever needed.  Conservatives see this Liberal position as threatening tyranny.  Totalitarian governments have unlimited power to help people, but lack the motivation to do so.  Tyrants have more than enough power to maintain the government without the consent of the governed.  Power corrupts.  The greater the government's power, the more corrupt it is.  IRS harassment of Tea Party groups is what Conservatives expect of an over powerful government.  Conservatives believe that "helping people" is just a cover story for seeking more power.  The only reason the Conservative position baffles Liberals is that they believe the cover story, that the government needs to expand to help people.  Liberals are blind to the downside of expanding government power.  Liberals failed to see any risk in Obamacare.  Millions of canceled health insurance policies are the result of this Liberal blindness.

Treat Iranians Like Republicans

I would feel more confident about the Smartest President Ever if he treated the Russians, Syrians and Iranians as if they were Tea Party Republicans. Unfortunately, The One seems to believe that John Boehner is a bigger threat to our Republic than the Iranian Ayatollahs. 

Liberals ask, "What's our interest in supporting a dictator that oppresses women and religious minorities?" They ask a very good question. I have no idea why the One supported Morsi in Egypt on his quest to become a dictator, with Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood buddies burning down a number of Christian churches in the process. I also don't understand why our Maximum Leader did not do anything to encourage the 2009 Iranian protest against their theocratic and dictatorial government, whose slogan is, "Death to America." Perhaps The One We Were Waiting For, having been groomed by the Chicago Machine, believes that fixed elections are nothing to get upset about?  Clearly our Dear Leader favors the Iranians and the Muslim Brotherhood because their policies towards women and gays are so enlightened, in contrast to Congressional Republicans. 

Shutdown Pain Was Intentional

Since Obamacare is going so well, Democrats want to talk about the government shutdown instead.  The link below leads to an article about the hypocrisy of the Congressional Republicans who are not rushing to compensate individuals who suffered loss during the shutdown.  If we are talking hypocrisy, don't you think our Dear Leader spent more time making the shutdown hurt than he did testing his healthcare web site?  He turned the National Park Service into the paramilitary wing of the Democratic Party.  NPS shut down numerous private facilities because they operated on National Park land.  NPS held a busload of foreign tourists hostage in Yellowstone and patrolled to make sure no tourists were able to sneak out of their hotel to watch Old Faithful.  NPS shut down a parking lot on public land used by a private foundation for a private land attraction.  The One We Were Waiting For even shut down the WWII memorial just because it was on public land, even though it was built with private funds and is usually unmanned, uh I mean un-personned.  The shutdown hurt the red states most BY DESIGN, not by accident.  Remember the Chicago Way of politics:  reward your friends and punish your enemies.  Seeing hypocrisy in the Republicans while lauding the Democrats is like straining at gnats and swallowing camels (your choice of the animal or the cigarette).
