There is just too much sensationalism going on in Talk Radio and other like media claiming
that the United States will no longer be the nation of freedom and prosperity if Obama or
Clinton get the office of President. Just how true are these statements?
I am hearing statements like, “this will be a socialist country if Hillary or Obama gets into office.” Well I remember that in the 1991 Presidential campaign, these kind of statements were echoed towards Bill Clinton. The this media claimed, “He is a socialist with his Gay Rights position and National Health Care Policy.” So what happen? What happen is, the President cannot do anything without Congress approval. Thus, His Gay Rights, and National Health Care Policy went down because Congress and the People did not agree with him. And all the scare and hype was really for no reason because those in this media does not or do not want to convey to its audience that the president cannot make laws without the approval and acceptance of the United Stated Congress. If this Nation becomes totally socialist (it is in part right now), it will be by the will of the Congress and the People and not because of the President of the United States directly. The American public needs to be educated on how and who makes the laws of this Nation and not to be lead by sensationalism of this type of media. “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” John F. Kennedy—1961 "Back To Top" | |
