Conservatives are Powerless to Combat Obama’s Flagrant Taxpayer Fund Spending

A recent online article at dayofrepentance.org, written by a New Jersey Rabbi is one of the most 'dead-on' eye-openers that I have seen for many moons. It not only says what I have been thinking and also what I've been saying online myself, but from others whom I consider to be very knowledgeable on the subject.

The author is Rabbi Steven Pruzansky, the leader of a Jewish congregation in Teaneck, New Jersey, and his message was relayed as stated above by the online organization 'day of repentance' who titled it, "Realities of the State of our Union. The irresponsible among us are now the majority." According to the cited website, the article appeared in The Israel National News, and is directed to Jewish readership. According to that source, 70% of American Jews vote as Democrats. The majority mentioned there is not defined, but the manner in which Obama and Senator Harry Reid, D-NV, Majority Leader of the U. S. Senate are attempting to run roughshod over the rest of the citizens of the country leaves little doubt that those are the culprits on the front lines of the onslaught against the people. The brazen arrogance of Harry Reid is second only to the bully in the White House who has all sorts of control plans for Americans and is slowly and sneakily putting them into affirmative actions through their internal connections with the dark side of the corrupt and morally bankrupt United Nations.

The Rabbi stated that the most charitable way of explaining the election results of 2012 is that Americans voted for the status quo -- for the incumbent President and for a divided Congress. They must enjoy gridlock, partisanship, incompetence, economic stagnation and avoidance of responsibility. At this point, I would like to also add that some very unacceptable stories have appeared since the election polls have closed stating some very unacceptable procedures and actions during the voting processes. Actions that have not appeared to be followed up with thorough investigations, particularly by the Republicans or by any significant parties or authorities. I have to wonder if they consider it too much bother? If that last question is true then the Tea Party people are right in saying the GOP is in need of a huge overhaul. Rabbi Pruzansky also states as another reason for the 2012 election results was that fewer people voted. Which is true but considering the overall atmosphere and some serious doubts that prevailed during the obscenely long campaigning by both major political parties, much interest had dissipated. The Rabbi also had this to say about the results; Romney did not lose because of the effects of Hurricane Sandy, nor did he lose because he ran a poor campaign, nor did he lose because the Republicans could have chosen better candidates, nor did he lose because Obama benefited from a slight uptick in the economy due to the business cycle. Romney lost because he didn't get enough votes to win. The Rabbi continued to say: That might seem obvious, but not for the obvious reasons. Romney lost because the conservative virtues - the traditional American virtues - of liberty, hard work, free enterprise enterprise, private initiative and aspirations to moral greatness -- no longer inspire or animate a majority of the electorate. To which I would add that a lot of conservatives were very much underwhelmed by the Romney campaign and just stayed home on election day. Romney only tallied under a thousand more votes than McCain in 2008 whereas Obama got about 3,600 less votes than '08. But as the Rabbi explains, the simplest reason why Romney lost was simply because it is impossible to compete against free stuff. Food stamps may sound innocent and innocuous, but when Obama has it in his power to raise the numbers of people benefiting from them, are they going to vote for Romney? A Heritage Foundation report by Robert Rector and Katherine Bradley online July 25, 2012, just short months before the election showed food stamps increasing from $20 Billion in 2000 to $84 Billion in 2011 and Obama planning to spend nearly $800 Billion over the next decade. How's that for keeping voters happy? Obama has the power of the bully pulpit and can spend our tax dollars to feed his constituents at his leisure and the conservatives are powerless to do anything about it; especially when they sit home on their duffs on election day.
