Republicans Are Big Government

Republicans are against "big government" but if Republicans actually looked out for the best interest of ALL Americans and fought for what was actually right for this country then "big government" wouldn't be required at all.

But when you want to give all the tax breaks to the people who dont need them (the rich) and people who dont make good on those tax breaks with job creation (the corporations)...."big government" is indeed needed.

When you refuse to give people (all people)-adults, teenagers, elderly, intelligent people, not so intelligent people, people between jobs, kids just out of college, etc-a fair and decent wage that they are able to pay their bills with and pay their rent with and buy groceries with and get their car fixed when needed, etc. then "big government" is needed.

When your answer to every conflict abroad is to invade countries, steel what you want, destroy everything else and kill whoever gets in your way even if it cost the lives of 4500+ American troops then somebody has to step up and say enough is enough. Somebody has to say there are better ways to solve these issues without massive bloodshed that will only lead to more bloodshed ten years down the road. And if you want to call whoever steps up to say this, "big government" then so be it.

When you discriminate against women by denying them things like equal pay or when you place the blame of rape upon the rape victim instead of the suspect then "big government" is needed. Besides, Republicans are all for "big government" when it comes to things like abortion and birth control.

When you discriminate against the LGBT community by denying them their right to marry the person they love, thus denying them the same benefits that people who make that commitment are entitled to, thus denying them the right to start a family by adopting kids (ya know, the same kids that were protected by Republican abortion regulations and are now-not suprisingly-just bouncing around from foster home to foster home suffering through the system....) then "big government" is needed.

When you refuse to believe in the facts of science (global warming, evelution, etc.) or just dont care enough about the facts to do anything good with your power then "big government" is needed. When you allow for the unsafe practices of oil drilling-like fracking-to destroy the earth beneath our communities then "big government" is needed. When you take bribes and "donations" in return for letting these non-environmental friendly companies and corporations pollute our land and dump waste into our streams, rivers, lakes and oceans then "big government" is needed.

When you consistantly lie about sensable gun control laws and scare people into believing our "big government" wants to take their guns away (one of the biggest and most dangerous Republican lies out there today) just to please the NRA who handsout billions of dollars to these Republicans for their lies-all while innocent people pointlessly fall victim to gun violence week after week after week then "big government" is needed.

So you see? "Big government" is needed. When it comes down to it, there is only one real reason why Republicans in this country hate "big government". That reason is greed. Plain and simple. Pure and arrogant greed. And its funny because those same Republicans are actually for "big government" and "big government" regulations when it comes to things like immigration, welfare and as mentioned before, abortion and birth control. But of course, the reason for their support of "big government" on these issues is yup, you guessed it...greed.

If we dont change our ways, greed will probably kill us all before any flood...or astroid strike...or solar explosion...or zombie apocolypes...or ISIS...or Ebola or WWIII or even Judgement Day for all you Christians out there. We must change this society in which greed has become the norm and rules our lives or that same greed will inevitably destroy us all.

If you're one of those people who think they hate "big government" for the reasons above, you should think twice about it and ask yourself...do I really hate "big government" or do I just hate the reason we need "big government"? Republicans.

Backup For My Boy Barack

I'm showing more love and support here for President Obama because he deserves a whole lot more credit than he recieves. These days, he can't even muster up support from his own party because of all the misplaced blame, hate and lies directed his way from the Republicans.

Now, I understand there are some Democrats out there trying to win elections in Red states, where most of these lies have generated from in the first place so most of this is directed at those Republicans. But I say this to the Democrats distancing themselves from our leader...don't forget that we are all on the same team here, fighting for the same things. And don't forget who is leading us there. If this country was going backwards then yes, by all means distance yourself from our leader. As a nation however, we are on the right track. Whether the opposing team wants to admit it or not. Whether the opposing team wants to lie through their teeth about it or not.

And that's what irritates me the most. The blatent lies. Ya know, if you don't like President Obama simply because you're a Republican then that's fine. That's your right. But you can't dislike our president because of all the lies being told about him by your Republican leaders. When you do indeed base your opinions on lies, your opinions are wrong. Your opinions are meaningless. Your opinions are nothing.

Examples:

1. If you don't like Obamacare that's fine. But you can't dislike Obamacare because it adds massive amounts of debt to our budget. And you can't dislike Obamacare because it doesn't help out millions of Americans because the REAL FACTS show it DOES NOT add debt to this country and it REALLY DOES help millions of Americans who were previously uninsured and possibly dying.

2. It's ok to dislike the fact that immigration reform is long overdue in this country. And you can not like the fact that Obama hasn't taken executive action on the matter (although, if he did do that the Republicans would complain that he acted alone even though there is a bipartisan immigration bill sitting in the Republican led House of Representatives waiting to be passed). But you can't dislike Obama because he just lets people into this country and then lets them stay illegally. Republicans forget or fail to mention the REAL FACT that Obama has deported more people than any other president before him. You also can't dislike Obama for following immigration laws passed by those same Republicans. Especially when the bill waiting in the House would fix all of these problems.

3. You can hate the fact that millions of Americans live in poverty and the fact that our economy isn't as strong as it should be. But you can't hate Obama for not creating jobs or bringing the economy back from the recession because REAL FACTS show that he has done both. You can't hate Obama for our poverty woes when Obama supports the strongest and quickest thing that would lift millions of people out of poverty...raising the minimum wage. REAL FACTS also show that to be true.

4. You can dislike Obama's foreign policy. But you can't hate Obama for not keeping the homeland safe (and regardless of the Republican fear mongering over ISIS, our borders and now Ebola, the homeland is safe). And you can't hate Obama because Middle Eastern countries let ISIS grow into what they currently are. You can't blame Obama for the problems of Iraq because he really did want to keep troops over there. What would you do when now former Iraqi Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki would not ensure your troops safety? And you can't hate Obama because of what Vladimir Putan is doing to Ukraine. If you want to blame anybody for the illegal actions of Russia you blame Russia and maybe the UN, NATO and the EU. You cannot justifiably blame Obama's foreign policy for any of these things. A foreign policy that keeps American troops and civilians abroad safe. A foreign policy that ensures another 9-11 doesn't happen on the homeland. On our homeland.

5. You can't dislike Obama because he supports gun control and wants to take your guns away. For the last time, that is NOT what gun control is. If you read up about REAL gun control and have just a little bit of common sense, gun control laws should be welcomed by us all. If you have the right to own a gun now, you would still have that right with gun control laws. That's the only thing that matters. So, dont hate Obama because you wouldn't be able to own, carry, shoot and buy more guns with gun control because you would still be able to own, carry, shoot and buy all the guns you want with gun control.

6. You can hate Obama because he's a Democrat. Or because he grew up in Hawaii. Or because he likes to golf and play basketball. But you can't dislike Obama because he's a Kenyan, a Muslim, a dictator, a tyrant, an imperelist, a communist, a socialist or a weak, un-American, out of touch leader. Because REAL FACTS prove all of those Republican made tittles for our Commander-in-Chief to be 100% false.

I only ask that you see beyond all of the lies. And these are just a few examples of the propaganda that people let Republicans force into their minds. Please don't let all the lies form your opinions of President Obama and all the important issues because that is the kind of ignorance ruining this great country. That is the kind of arrogance halting the REAL PROGRESS that could bring our nation back to #1 again in every category. And I mean no offense to anybody here. However, if you're offended by any of this, I would advise you to brush up on the REAL FACTS.

To finish, I will leave you all with this shockingly accurate newsflash: If you dont like President Obama due to any of these above mentioned lies or the hundreds of other false statements made about him by Republicans, then guess what? The truth is...that in reality...you probably...actually...like President Obama. <----Another REAL FACT. So, open your eyes to all of the ridiculously blatent lies and start fighting for our president the way he has been fighting for you.

#ThanksObama

I am so sick and tired of the #BlameObama mentality of this country. When things go bad, when things happen overseas with no connection to the U.S., when things happen here that have no connection to President Obama, big things, little things, important things, petty things and yes, even when good things happen both because of and not because of President Obama, people #BlameObama.

I understand theres alot of people out there who #BlameObama sarcastically or just for fun (I do it and I laugh when other people do it). But in all honesty that really just encourages Republicans to keep all of this #BlameObama nonsense going.

So, for the last two years of his presidancy, I will be using the #ThanksObama hashtag to show my appreciation and graditude for all of the good (and trust me, there is alot more good than bad) things that President Obama has done for me, for you and for this country.

And yes, just like the Republicans lie and #BlameObama for the most outragous things imaginable, I will also say #ThanksObama for things that he has absolutely no connection too. If and when Republicans stop blamming President Obama for everything just because of their selfishness and hate, I will stop saying #ThanksObama for everything.

Now, if you get sick of this which I imagine alot of you will, I suggest you open your eyes to all of the lies being told by elected Republicans. I suggest you start giving credit to President Obama for what he's been able to do with what he inherrited and what he's been able to accomplish even with all of the opposition to progress he's been meant with by the House of Republicans.

Its really easy. All you have to do is read, research and base your opinions on the REAL FACTS. Thats whats great about this country. We have the freedom to access the REAL FACTS. Now, you do need to know where to look. I'd stay away from Liberal leaning sources like MSNBC, Blue Nation Review, etc. and Conservative leaning sources like FoxNews, Independent Journal Review, etc. And please, please, please dont take the satire sites seriously. The right sources are out there you just have to research. Then, once you understand the REAL FACTS all you have to do is say #ThanksObama. And here is a good place to use my first #ThanksObama hashtag...

#ThanksObama for not being a tyrant, or a Nazi, or a dictating king who wants to limit your access to the real facts through the internet and media outlets.

I think its funny how the same kind of propaganda (negativity and lies) used by lets say ISIS and Russia-that everybody in America hates (including the Republicans)-is the same kind of propaganda that they themselves (the Republicans) use to drive wedges into this country and promote things like hate, fear and misplaced blame. And here is a good place to use my second #ThanksObama hashtag...

#ThanksObama for understanding that propaganda has no place in this country or this world.

If you go by the REAL FACTS and agree that President Obama deserves much more credit and respect than he presently recieves, please share this post and start using the #ThanksObama hashtag as much as you possibly can.

Thank You and #ThanksObama
