OBAMA'S AMERICA - ANOTHER OPINION

BELOW IS A LETTER THAT APPEARED IN THE KNOXVILLE NEWS SENTINEL. THIS LETTER IS MISTAKENLY BEING CREDITED ON THE INTERNET TO THOMAS SOWELL. IT APPEARS IT WAS WRITTEN BY JACK FURNARI. YOU MAY HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE. IT IS HERE BECAUSE HIS WORDS ARE IMPORTANT AND ALL TOO TRUE.

The current Occupy Wall Street movement is the best illustration to date of what President Barack Obama's America looks like. It is an America where the lawless, unaccomplished, ignorant and incompetent rule. It is an America where those who have sacrificed nothing, pillage and destroy the lives of those who have sacrificed greatly. It is an America where history is rewritten to honor dictators, murderers and thieves. It is an America where violence, racism, hatred, class warfare and murder are all promoted as acceptable means of overturning the American civil society.

It is an America where humans have been degraded to the level of animals: defecating in public, having sex in public, devoid of basic hygiene. It is an America where the basic tenets of a civil society, including faith, family, a free press and individual rights, have been rejected. It is an America where our founding documents have been shredded and, with them, every person's guaranteed liberties.

It is an America where, ultimately, great suffering will come to the American people, but the rulers like Obama, Michelle Obama, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, liberal college professors, union bosses and other loyal liberal/Communist Party members will live in opulent splendor. It is the America that Obama and the Democratic Party have created with the willing assistance of the American media, Hollywood, unions, universities, the Communist Party of America, the Black Panthers and numerous anti-American foreign entities.

Obama has brought more destruction upon this country in four years than any other event in the history of our nation, but it is just the beginning of what he and his comrades are capable of. The Occupy Wall Street movement is just another step in their plan for the annihilation of America.

OBAMA'S CHICKENS HAVE COME HOME TO ROOST

Ah, class warfare, isn't it great? For 3 years our president has been yapping about the evil rich, the horrible, awful rich, who are sucking the economy dry, taxing the rich until they have nothing left, taxing businesses more and more (like Obama's buddy, GE, who pays nothing in taxes). Obama has divided the lousy one percent of "rich" Americans, whom he says control most of the money, from the rest of the 99% who he calls the "disadvantaged."

Well, take a look at what is happening in America today. The Occupy Wall Street gangs infesting American cities are a direct result of Obama's rhetoric, his plan to split America into two camps, his plan to cause chaos in the streets. Looks like his plan is working, and he's got blood on his hands.

There have been many reports of sexual assaults, murders, disorderly conduct, defecating in public, sex in public, masturbating in public, crapping and peeing in public, petty theft, violent episodes, Molotov cocktails being thrown, police being attacked and injured, lice infestations, graffiti, death threats, drug use, scabies, tuberculosis transmission, destruction of property, and on and on. I need a shower just thinking about it.

Click here for links to over 250 incidents to date. Check out just a few, and you'll get the idea. And the number grows daily.

This is what Obama's America looks like, an America where lawlessness and anarchy rule. With the help of the unions, the Democratic Party, the Communist Party of America, many prominent Democrats in Congress,the main stream media and the radical Left, Obama has done an artful job of destroying the fabric of this great nation.

Obama early on backed the Occupy Wall Street crowd, and he continues to do so. Want proof? Take a look at these two links.

First Amendment rights do not allow Americans to behave like animals. Nor do First Amendment rights allow anyone to infringe on other citizens' rights. But that's what's happening daily.

What is the purpose of the infestors setting up mini-tent cities? To show they are "angry" and want their "demands" met. They are the "have-nots," don't you know? But look at photos and videos. How many laptops, cell phones, electronic gadgets and designer clothes do you see? I guess this type of gross poverty is unacceptable, since they are demanding more and more and more.

I wonder how much these anarchists are costing the municipalities for cleaning up after them, or how much money is being spent to cover medical expenses for them. How about overtime police presence, loss of wages for those who can't get to work in the infested areas, loss of income for the businesses that can't operate due to the crowds, loss of money due to the damage being done to business buildings?

Here's the truth of the matter, Folks. What we are witnessing is the rotten rancid underbelly of the Democrat party and the Liberal Left. This is Obama's base. It's the base he's depending on in 2012. God help us all.

Go here to see photos of what is going on all over America.

OCCUPY WALL STREETER SAYS IT ALL IN COLORADO

The University of Colorado is "educating" our young-uns. This student says he wants to get 13 of the families that "own the world", including Bush, put them in front of the White House and hang them and shoot them. Sounds like a rope and a gun full of bullets will solve his problems.

Remember in 2009 when Nancy the Weeper Pelosi was distraught over what she called Tea Party rhetoric, emphasizing her fears that the protest could "lead to violence?" Wonder where her concern is now.

Our yearling is madder than hell, and he's not going to take it anymore. "There's a lot of stuff that needs to change and if it doesn't, violent revolution will come." Really, that's what he says.

He says he wants to be a doctor, but that's on hold for now - a hidden message for "I'm failing in under-grad and I'm giving up." Oh, yeah, he was going to take Chemistry, Biology, Human Anatomy, but he decided first he's gonna be an "artist." I wonder what his parents think of his life's plan? Oh, that's right, parents don't say anything negative to their kids. It might "hurt" their feelings and ruin their self esteem.

This is what the socialist public school system is teaching your kiddies - Socialism, Marxism and Communism. And this is what the next generation looks like. We are in Deep Trouble.

WATCH IT HERE. BE AWARE, THERE IS ONE REALLY BAD WORD. THANKS, KELLY MAHER, OF THE DAILY CALLER, FOR TAKING YOUR LIFE INTO YOUR OWN HANDS BY GOING TO OCCUPY WALL STREET IN COLORADO AND ASKING QUESTIONS.

OCCUPY WALL STREETER GETS WORTHLESS DEGREE AND IT'S OUR FAULT

Did you hear Rush Limbaugh today? He had a segment on some Occupy Wall Street demonstrator whose picture was taken while she was writing in a journal. Apparently the journal entry was visible in the picture. She was lamenting about the fact that she is graduating from college this year with a degree in "Classical Studies." She is whining that her "job prospects are zero." Her writing also indicates that she has student loans and is very "ticked off."

Now I ask you, People, why would anyone get a degree in Classical Studies? Where in the world do you go to apply for a job with a degree like that? The bigger question though is why would anyone with an ounce of common sense accumulate potentially $100,000 in student loan debt (approximately what a 4-year state college degree costs now) just to get out of school with a throwaway degree? What did she think, the world was going to open its door and snatch her up for any job she wanted just because she was able to get a Classical Studies degree?

C'mon, she should have used her head for something besides getting a piece of paper that's worth a bucket of warm spit. I don't feel sorry for her. Oh, I forgot. Now she wants someone else to pay off her student loans. That'd be you and me.

COST OF ONE VOTE? $4 TO $8 PER MONTH

Smoother than a Snake Skin Suit, your president is at it again. He’s slithering all over the media gibing and fibbing about his Executive Order that’s supposed to provide relief to people who have student loan obligations. But if you look closely at the proposal, it swiftly sheds its skin and morphs into the worm that it is.

According to the Atlantic Monthly, 82% of outstanding student loan debt was accrued by students over the past 10 years. That means a college education has become extremely costly and more and more people are chasing that pricey degree. And why? Because for decades our young people have been told they can’t succeed in life without getting that ever necessary college degree. Do you think they’ve been warned about the fact that depending on the degree, they very likely won’t be able to find a job in their field? Or have they been warned about the income expectations in relation to the debt they will amass getting that wall ornament? And I wonder if they’re now being educated that there are no jobs available for them?

There are three main provisions of Obama's Executive Order. One, he will limit the amount of student loan payments to 10% of a borrower's income. It is currently 15%. Two, he will allow debt still outstanding after 20 years to go bye bye, in other words, be forgiven. Currently student loan debt is forgiven after 25 years. Third, he will allow consolidation of loan balances, combining all of an individual’s student loans into one big loan.


Now Obama is touting this as a big deal for people with student loan obligations. But the reality is that the “consolidation” of loans will save the borrower a teeny, tiny hiss of an amount. The average savings per student loan borrower would be between $4 and $8 PER MONTH. This is clearly not a stunning amount of money.

But Mr. O. is trying to make parents, students and taxpayers believe that his action is going to save the economy and create jobs, and oh, my gosh, it’s going to Help The Students. After all, it’s part of his “We Can’t Wait” stimulus effort. That’s his “unilateral” action that completely circumvents Congress – again.

So let’s discuss the payment limit of 10% of income. He’s trying to sell this as a God Send to borrowers. But the truth is that any borrower who graduated in 2011 OR EARLIER will NOT be eligible. It will be available only to those graduating in 2012 or in the future. Doesn’t that just give you warm fuzzies, those of you, parents and students and existing borrowers, who are currently paying on student loans or will be once your grace period expires? You get to pay all of your own loans, plus you get to subsidize the loans of all who come after you. Woo Hoo!

And then there’s the “whatever-you-don’t-pay-back-in-20-years-will-go-away” forgiveness provision. It will be at least another 10 years before borrowers have hit the 20-year mark in their loan payments so this executive order provision won’t save you anything currently. Don’t be fooled by his hyperbole. It’s not what he wants you to think it is.


But I would ask why does any borrower get excused after 20 years or ever? If borrowers know what they don’t pay back in a 20 year period will be excused, why would they make any effort to pay anything back? How many borrowers will sit tight and wait for it all to go away? There is NO incentive to pay it back. Oh, by the way, the taxpayer picks up the student loan debt for any borrower who decides not to bother paying it back.

But wait, that’s not all. I wonder if an Obama Executive Order can really do this? Shouldn’t Congress have a say in this type of policy change? Oops, I forgot, right after taking office Obama has already slapped Congress up ‘side the head when he ordered the federal government to take the Student Loan Program away from the banks.

The result of Obama’s changes to the Student Loan Program? Nothing, except it’s going to cost the taxpayer potentially billions of dollars. It’s estimated there is over a trillion dollars in student loan debt currently owed by borrowers. Who do you think is going to pay when they don’t?

Well, yippee, skippee, I have one question. Mr. O, you old Snake Oil Salesman, why are student loans more important than home mortgages? Explain that one if you can.


What, you can’t explain your own Double Talk? Well, let me guess. The student loan giveaway is nothing more than a campaign carrot because the Occupy Wall Streeters have demanded it, and yeah, that’s right, you support the OWS crowd, as you’ve publicly stated. How many jobs will your revolutionary action create for the OWS revolutionaries? Zip, Zilch, Zero, Nada.

This is nothing more than another redistribution of wealth giveaway. Thank you again, for nothing but more debt.
