Half Of Americans Hate Obama; Other Half Get Free Stuff

By Frosty Wooldridge

In 2014, half of American citizens can’t stand Mr. Barack Hussein Obama and the other half love him.  The first half still work jobs while the other half (about 47 percent) live off welfare in a variety of forms.

On December 4, 2013, Obama gave his “income inequality speech.”  He expects to fundamentally change America by forcing those of us who work to give up more of our money to those who lack education, refuse to work or simply cannot function intelligently enough to sustain a job.

In early January 2014, Bob Lonsberry, a Rochester talk radio personality on WHAM 1180 AM, said we now encompass two Americas.

“The Democrats are right, there are two Americas,” said Lonsberry. “The America that works , and the America that doesn’t .   The America that contributes , and the America that doesn’t. 

“It’s not the haves and the have not’s, it’s the do’s and the don’ts. Some people do their duty as Americans, obey the law, support themselves, contribute to society, and others don’t.  That’s the divide in America.

“It’s not about income inequality , it’s about civic irresponsibility.  It’s about a political party that preaches hatred, greed and victimization in order to win elective office.  It’s about a political party that loves power more than it loves its country.  That’s not invective, that’s truth, and it’s about time someone said it.

“The politics of envy was on proud display a couple weeks ago when President Obama pledged the rest of his term to fighting “income inequality.”    He noted that some people make more than other people, that some people have higher incomes than others, and he says that’s not just.

“That is the rationale of thievery.  The other guy has it, you want it, Obama will take it for you .  Vote Democrat. That is the philosophy that produced Detroit .   It is the electoral philosophy that is destroying America . It conceals a fundamental deviation from American values and common sense because it ends up not benefiting the people who support it, but a betrayal.

“The Democrats have not empowered their followers, they have enslaved them in a culture of dependence and entitlement, of victim-hood and anger instead of ability and hope.

“The president’s premise–that you reduce income inequality by debasing the successful–seeks to deny the successful the consequences of their choices and spare the unsuccessful the consequences of their choices.  Because, by and large, income variations in society is a result of different choices leading to different consequences. Those who choose wisely and responsibility have a far greater likelihood of success, while those who choose foolishly and irresponsibly have a far greater likelihood of failure.  

“Success and failure usually manifest themselves in personal and family income.

You choose to drop out of high school or to skip college–and you are apt to have a different outcome than someone who gets a diploma and pushes on with purposeful education. 

“You have your children out of wedlock and life is apt to take one course;  you have them within a marriage and life is apt to take another course.  Most often in life our destination is determined by the course we take.  

“My doctor, for example, makes far more than I do.  There is significant income inequality between us.  Our lives have had an inequality of outcome, but, our lives also have had an inequality of effort.   While my doctor went to college and then devoted his young adulthood to medical school and residency, I got a job in a restaurant.

“He made a choice, I made a choice, and our choices led us to different outcomes.  His outcome pays a lot better than mine.  Does that mean he cheated and Barack Obama needs to take away his wealth?   No, it means we are both free men in a free society where free choices lead to different outcomes.

“It is not inequality Barack Obama intends to take away, it is freedom.   The freedom to succeed, and the freedom to fail.  There is no true option for success if there is no true option for failure.

“The pursuit of happiness means a whole lot less when you face the punitive hand of government if your pursuit brings you more happiness than the other guy.  Even if the other guy sat on his butt and did nothing.  Even if the other guy made a lifetime’s worth of asinine and shortsighted decisions.

“Barack Obama and the Democrats preach equality of outcome as a right , while completely ignoring inequality of effort .

The simple Law of the Harvest–as ye sow, so shall ye reap–is sometimes applied as, “The harder you work, the more you get.”  Obama would turn that upside down. Those who achieve are to be punished as enemies of society and those who fail are to be rewarded as wards of society.

“Entitlement will replace effort as the key to upward mobility in American society if Barack Obama gets his way.   He seeks a lowest common denominator society in which the government besieges the successful and productive to foster equality through mediocrity.

“He and his party speak of two Americas, and their grip on power is based on using the votes of one to sap the productivity of the other.    America is not divided by the differences in our outcomes, it is divided by the differences in our efforts.   It is a false philosophy to say one man’s success comes about unavoidably as the result of another man.”

Lonsberry stated the obvious:  48 million Americans subsisting on food stamps shows they made poor decisions about graduating from high school. They chose to remain stupid.  With 68 percent of African-American children growing up with a single mother who lives on welfare—shows those women made very poor choices.  When 76 percent of high school students in Detroit, Michigan dropout or flunkout, their choices condemn them to a difficult life.

At some point, Barack H. Obama needs to inspire people to remain in school, earn an educated mind, earn a good job and become a parent who marries a spouse and brings up kids with a home, food and responsibilities to contribute to our society.

One way works and the other doesn’t.  As you know, Obama came from a broken home where the father split, then, the second father split and Barack Obama has never held a job.  Someone gave him a free education, free college tuition and a free pass from his life of lying, i.e., birth certificate, Social Security number, Selective Service Card and enrollment in Harvard with non-qualifying grades.  Seems like he needs to backtrack on his life to come up with a better speech on “income inequality.”
