Howard Rich at Rasmussen Reports brings us this essay that looks into the Nixonian behavior of a President who is waging war on Americans and the private sector. In case after case, we see this administration punishing those who are trying to resist the push to expand the size and scope of government’s reach into every corner of our lives. And the state has become so large and intrusive that many people can now feel the government breathing down their necks.
So when Sen. Rand Paul asked the Obama-Fuhrer whether he had an enemies list and who is on it, it’s not for show and it’s not an exaggeration. There is such a list, even if not written down. For the Obama-Fuhrer is a Marxist who hates this country and everything we stand for. He is trying to destroy us in every way he can with all of the tools at his disposal.
If you can vote in the next election, you had better do so. Otherwise, the war against you and your life as a free American will continue.
Yet when Obama’s union goons on the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) challenged aircraft manufacturer Boeing’s right to locate a new facility in the right-to-work state of South Carolina, all subtlety evaporated.
There, in a black-and-white complaint, is indisputable evidence that the Obama administration is waging war against the American free market on behalf of union thugs and entrenched government bureaucrats. It’s a costly war, too – one that’s being funded by trillions of tax dollars (and trillions more in deficit spending).
Obama’s silence on the NLRB-Boeing issue has been deafening. Rather than rebuking this unprecedented imposition on a company’s right to move new business where it sees fit – Obama has hidden behind his goon squad like a fashionable gangster unwilling to get his hands dirty.Earlier this week, he was abruptly – and deservedly – called out for these tactics by U.S. Sen. Rand Paul.
“Mr. President, do you have an enemies list?” Paul asked. “Is this decision based on the fact that South Carolina appears to be a Republican state, has two Republican senators? Is this decision based on the fact that South Carolina is a ‘right to work’ state? Are they on your enemies list?”Paul didn’t stop there – blasting Obama for his recent threat to require government contractors to disclose donations to groups that participate in political activities.
“The president has said now that he’s going to ask contractors who do business with the government ‘Who have you contributed to?’” he said. “Mr. President, do you have en enemies list? Will you now punish contractors who have given money to Republican candidates? I’m concerned – there are two Republican Senators from Kentucky. Are we on your enemies list? Is Alabama on your enemies list? Is Texas on your enemies list?
