Ronald Reagan once said: “A people without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder.” Hopefully, the 2014 election will prove that people have found a solution to keep the constitution alive and well by removing the rubber stamp minions of the Obama administration which have gotten us in this quagmire of financial ruin. His solution is to print worthless dollars creating the road to inflation which will come back to haunt us in the not too distant future.

All of you liberal democrats who see Obama as their savior are doing more harm than good by advancing all of his so called “progressive agenda”. It is sad to read how some democrats continue to buy into his rhetoric. Confucius once said: “a fool will find one still more foolish to admire him.”

Let’s see what he has done. He bailed out the banks. He gave money to insurance companies who gave it to their CEO’s in the form of bonuses. He nationalized the auto industry. He started his own war using drones. He had Americans imprisoned without cause. He never closed Guantanamo even after he promised to do so. He has destroyed our health care system as well as the pharmaceutical industry through over regulations. He destroyed the coal industry. He kept us dependent upon foreign oil even though we can become energy independent.

He is known for his leading from behind. He has no convictions, only preferences. He would prefer to close Guantanamo but would keep it open to protect us from terrorists. Saying the right thing is second best to doing the right thing. The proof is in the pudding. So far, the pudding has been very bitter to swallow. He will not and cannot stand for his beliefs – he has none. He makes speeches yet says nothing of any substance. He has made this country the laughing stock of the world. Putin laughs at his saber rattling. One high Russian official refers to him as “comrade”. He has perpetuated serious frauds on the American taxpayer.

How did he get his start? He became editor of the Harvard Law Review but never published any articles – that being a requirement. When he was a lawyer, he never ever prepared a brief of any significance. When he was a state senator in Illinois he played politics with both sides. When he became a U.S. Senator, he voted “present” which means not for/not against – just present at the time of the vote.

Do we want to rebuild our country on promises which can never be fulfilled: Upon looking back on his history so far, Jimmy Carter would be considered a major success story.
