Marc Thiessen explains the simple math:
I asked a number of conservative thinkers what they feared most from a second term, and compiled this list of the top ten disasters that would befall America if Obama were re-elected this fall1. Obamacare will not be repealed.
2. The unprecedented levels of spending in Obama’s first four years will become the new floor, as America sets new records for fiscal profligacy and debt.
3. Job creators will face massive tax increases, and more Americans will come off the tax rolls—resulting in fewer citizens with a stake in keeping taxes low and more with a stake in protecting benefits.
4. Government dependency, already at record levels, will continue to grow.
5. Four lost years in dealing with the entitlement crisis will become eight—digging us into a hole from which we may not be able to emerge.
6. Obama, unworried about the impact of gas and electricity prices on his reelection, will finally wage the regulatory war on fossil fuels the Left demands.
7. He will unleash the Environmental Protection Agency to impose crushing new burdens on U.S. business.
8. His administration’s assault on religious freedom will go on and expand to new areas.
9. The Defense Department will be gutted, with cuts so deep that America will no longer be a superpower.
10. Obama could have the opportunity to appoint more liberal Supreme Court justices, ending the Roberts court in all but name for a generation.
In short, Obama's reelection guarantees a debt-fueled depression; much higher real unemployment (not the propaganda marketed by media); single-payer health care and medical rationing; blackouts and brownouts as his EPA continues shutting down electric generation capacity; and an America in decline as China becomes the world's largest economy.
It's what Derrick Bell and Jeremiah Wright wanted, after all.
Sounds bad, in fact horrible. And Romney is an alternative?
ReplyDeleteAt this point, anyone will be better. Here is my kitchen table angle of interpreting the election consequences if he gets re-elected. http://munchadoaboutnothing.blogspot.com/2012/03/what-will-happen-to-your-investment-if.html It is very real and I am worried. Thanks Doug Ross, I quote your very interesting and insightful article on my blog.
ReplyDeleteThis list does not include the international arena, where Iran successfully creates nuclear weapons. That will force the Saudis and Egyptians (perhaps the Turks) to do the same.
ReplyDeleteThe threat to Israel and Europe is approaching WW2 levels, while Obama - in a second term - continues to gut the military.
And yes, anonymous, Romney - as undesirable he may be to us conservatives - would be infinitely more competent and certainly more honest.
You left out the coming race and class wars, the imposition of Agenda 21 and other UN-operated NWO anti-America schemes, and the widespread use of the NDAA to abuse ordinary US citizens via the TSA, the IRS, the DHS, the EPA, the FCC, etc.
