Striking Similarities

Well, Obama won, and Congress is now more than ever in the grip of the liberals. The man with the most liberal voting record in the Senate now in the White House, backed by a like-minded House of Representatives and Senate (Not to mention the media). This is a potent combination.

Anyone who has been paying close attention to the election may have been startled by some of Obama's words and ideas, not to mention his past acquaintances. I had read George Orwell's "1984" for school just as the real election was getting under way. Unwittingly, my very liberal English teacher (aren't they all?) opened by eyes to the true danger of Obama's words-and the striking similarities between him and "Big Brother".

• Obama used government computers to research "Joe the Plumber", the one public individual who dared to stand up to him and miraculously got through the palpable media filter. What's next, telescreens? If this is how he treats his enemies now, how will he treat them when actually in power? One also can't forget the incident with the Florida TV station WFTV. Obama's campaign pulled all relations with the station, including an interview with Jill Biden, after Joe Biden was asked tough questions by a reporter. Is this the real Obama? Cracking under pressure? Not facing up to his opponents?


• Obama's tax plan has been changed numerous times now. He said he would raise taxes for those making more than $250,000. Then, in his last debate and in the ads following that, he said he would raise taxes for those making over $200,000. That's a hefty change. Now Joe Biden has been running around claiming that Obama will raise taxes on those making over $150,000 a year. From his original statements, that's a drop of $100,000! That's huge! Did he just think we wouldn't notice? This reminds me of the passage of "1984" when it was announced over the public telescreens that the chocolate ration had been raised to 20 grams a week, when in fact, it had been 30 the week before. Does Obama think that we will just forget his past promises? And what's to stop him from lowering the bar again?
• In an interview, Obama said he would use the government to manipulate the people by fining companies, thus passing on the cost to consumers. He said, "I think it is important to send some price signals to change behavior." Come on! Are you for real right now? Yeah, sadly, he is.
• His government run healthcare system is not a good idea. It's also socialist. It doesn't work in Cuba, it doesn't work in Canada, and it doesn't work in Europe. WHY WOULD IT WORK HERE?
• The mainstream media is in almost complete alliance with Obama. As we've seen, he doesn't deal well with opponents. He has his very own "Ministry of Truth" (This also ties in with the "Truth Squad")
• Obama had millions of "mindless-sheep" supporters, who are unquestioning in their devotion to "the messiah", and the worst part is, the majority of them don't really know why they're voting for him. Sure, some could say, "the economy" bu those people don't know anything about the economy, and definitely weren't paying attention when McCain was speaking during the debates. Sure, McCain's policy wasn't perfect, but Obama's was idiotic. To raise taxes in a recession? On the MIDDLE CLASS (That he supposedly supports?)!!!?! Thousands of pro Obama websites, the Truth Squad, insane volunteers, etc. Charismatic leader with bad ideas + loyal minions = bad news for America.
• Obama wants to create a Citizen Army. And what the hell is he planning to do with that?! Come on people, wake up!

Look, the body of evidence suggesting that Obama will not only try to enforce socialist policies, but act like a dictator while in office is, quite plainly, huge. Liberals, take off those blindfolds, and Republicans, it's time to stand up and do something. I'm not saying Obama will declare himself dictator for life, but we can't let him get away with acting the way he has been.
