The Obama regime has a perverse view of the relationship between government and Americans. This country was founded on the principle of consent of the governed. The people are the boss, not the government. Yet this administration acts and speaks as if we are here to service the government. They believe they have a divine right to harvest whatever they deem necessary to feed their rapaciousness machine.

Divisiveness cannot stop until every single congressional seat is sealed. If they break us into tiny camps, we won’t be able to marshal enough forces to win in November. So, to insure victory, the president’s men are expanding their friends and enemies list. The following is the proverbial tip of the iceberg. More … much more will surface as we get closer to November.

Rube Goldberg’s cartoons illustrated overly complex ways to do simple tasks. He could have been a congressman. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act may be the most convoluted and tortuous act ever passed by Congress. There are nearly half a million words in the bill itself, and government agencies have already issued over a million words of enacting regulations. And this is only a small fraction of ObamaCare’s 700+ directives to develop and issue regulations. Be prepared for chaos.

Here’s an idea. Print off a few copies of this image from thepeoplescube.com and put them in your car with a roll of tape. Next time you’re filling up your tank (and emptying your wallet), surreptitiously tape one of these to the front of the pump.

Why is it so hard to cut government spending? Because there are just so many reasons we can’t. Here are top ten excuses carried on a 3X5 card by nearly every politician.

Periodically, I get so busy working and trying to stay on top of what I need to do to fend for my family, that I forget that Obama and the American Left have declared war on me. I have to be reminded from time to time.

Most Americans aren’t paying attention, but they will pay the price. Government power is growing at an astronomical rate while may buy into the disclaimers. Trust us, we’re here from the government and we’re here to help. Instead of “Change We Can Believe In,” we got a stealth grab for vast new powers that make a travesty of our Constitution.

Next to the teleprompter, Obama relies most heavily on Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s playbook. There is little Obama has said or done – from his relentless conduct of class warfare to favoring political cronies with federal cash – that FDR didn’t do, or attempt to do. The parallels are striking.

President Obama’s Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack thinks 46 million Americans on food stamps is not nearly enough. And so, the Department of Agriculture is offering non-profit groups the chance to receive $75,000 grants for projects designed to boost food stamp participation among those who are eligible but have yet to sign up.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was an early adherent of Rahm Emanuel’s philosophy regarding crisis and opportunity. With unemployment at almost 20%, Roosevelt used fear and economic uncertainty to breach the Constitution with an alphabet soup of overlapping interventions in the economy.*

FDR Goes to War is a surprisingly short, but detailed account of a president, whose failed policies are still echoing through the present day.
