I can't understand why our government repeatedly offends middle-class. The "guns and religion" remark still reverberates. President Obama blasted Scott Brown's truck about 7 times on January 17, 2010 in support of Martha Coakley's senatorial campaign. He worked the house like a first-rate standup comedian offending the folks who own and drive pickup trucks
My 11 year old Ford F250 truck was made in the USA by USA labor. It was paid for in USA dollars and financed by a USA bank. USA investors made a profit from the deal. It's been used to help people move, carry leaves to the recycling center, haul mulch, clear debris from around our church, cart building materials and deliver thousands of Bibles.
The enclosed photograph was taken two years ago at Mount Zion National Park – one of many fantastic places in this great country. The truck took us to 49 states.
The President's been to Copenhagen to lobby for the Chicago Olympics and the Global Warming debacle. He's campaigned for Democrats in Virginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts. Hopefully, President Obama will campaign in New York's First Congressional District for Tim Bishop. Has it occurred to anyone that a truck driver might have been more successful? Your political tribe may be able to stimulate the far-left Air America liberals but the rest of the electorate is left cold.
Your tribe lacks the common sense of truck drivers – people who work for a living as opposed to the politicians who pontificate and dream up new ways to spend, regulate and tax. My annual physical is no longer paid for by Medicare. Deductions for sales taxes have ended beginning in 2010. We don't appreciate the trend.
It's hard to believe that, at age 69, I've become so involved in politics. Thomas Paine seems to speak to us today when he lists the abuses of England's king against the colonists. Your tribe seeks to bring us into the orbit of Europe and socialist nations but the words of Paine are as true today as when he said,,
"This new world hath been the asylum for the persecuted lovers of civil and religious liberty from every Part of Europe. Hither have they fled, not from the tender embraces of the mother, but from the cruelty of the monster ... the same tyranny which drove the first emigrants from home pursues their descendants still."
Please rethink your goals. The country is vehemently opposed to the socialist tack which the Democrats favor. We've seen how it works in Venezuela and France and we don't want it here. Make amends with the National Association of Manufacturers. Give GM back to the investors. Be honest!
"The great rule of conduct for us, in regard to foreign nations, is in extending our commercial relations to have as little political connection as possible... Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalships, interest, humor, or caprice?... It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world." George Washington, September 19, 1796.
