To Conservatives, the American Dream is defined by the Declaration of Independence-- that we are inherently free, endowed by our Creator with this freedom, and that our rights come from our God, not the government. Even to non-conservatives, pop culture has defined this dream as the classic story of an individual when given opportunity and freedom, uses his own creativity, spirit, vision and labor and becomes a success. His labor provides a secure and stable life for his family.
America throughout the world has always meant a place where the oppressed would find opportunity and hope. That very message is inscribed on the Statue of Liberty and has greeted millions of immigrants “yearning to be free” for over a century. It is the foundation that Lady Liberty actually stands on and our country stands for.
Therefore, when most people hear that a candidate or a President talk about the “American Dream” we assume he is talking about this same dream.
That is no longer true.
The vision the Obama administration has for America is not at all the same “American Dream” we the people share. His version of the dream has nothing to do with individual spirit, resourcefulness, faith, opportunity, or freedom. His dream is spelled out in the pages of the manifestos of his socialist mentors and ACORN recruitment pamphlets.
The Obama version of the American Dream is a powerful central government controlled by a small band of elitists, controlling throngs of subservient masses with “gifts” of housing, sustenance, and welfare. His dream for America is a socialist “utopia,” funded entirely by that dwindling per cent of the population that still work, pay taxes, and produce, and cling to their antiquated definition of the country that now suffocates them. He doesn't deny this is his dream-- he just uses spin and empty rhetoric to make it sound good to the goverment dependents that vote but do not fund his dream. What results from his twisted dream is the irony where representation without taxation is completely funded by taxation without representation.
(To you idiotic CNN reporters: THAT’S what TEA parties have to do with taxes.)
We are seeing the foundation of the “great” Obama vision being built today, one playing card at a time. True to his word about at least one thing, his Socialism has become so “transparent” that even the Russians warn it is too excessive. Does it not give anyone pause that Pravda marked the demise of capitalism, and Newsweek celebrated the dawn of socialism ? Our enemies couldn’t be happier. Obamais supposed to defend our country from those that wish to destroy our American Dream. Yet, he stands in the National Archive, with his back to the Declaration of Independence and Constitution and destroys America without a fight.
In times like these, I find myself haunted by the words of the late, great Charlton Heston.
No, not those words. Not the ones about the guns and the cold dead hands.
Rather, the words that Mr. Heston said in character as Astronaut George Taylor, upon finding the washed-on-shore remnants of the Statue of Liberty.
“We finally did it ! YOU MANIACS !!! You blew it up!”
Rest in peace, Lady Liberty.
