Later this week President Barack Obama will announce that he is closing the barn doors. Unfortunately for the United States, the horses split awhile ago, and while our trusted politicians were out looking for their valued thoroughbreds, the tools were stolen from the shed and scrapped, the feed robbed by hungry wolves, and the building burned to the ground by potential regulatory arsonists.
But he will close the doors now. Before it's too late.
When Obama delivers his speech to the country it will be littered with catchphrases encouraging us all to “do our part” in this “economic climate” that is “the worst since the Great Depression.” According to reports, his comments will concern his attempt to cut the national debt in half by the next Presidential election. A noble goal to be sure, and only a couple of weeks late.
During the big push to have the stimulus package passed as quickly as possible the President was quoted as saying that “now is not the time for profits,” adding that it will come later. It is terrifying that a large segment of our country actually believes that rubbish. If now is not the time for profits, exactly when would be a good time be? This thought process will only accomplish to handicap the producers left in our country.
On this stop along the path to socialism, the overtaxing of the rich to provide for the rest, the country is being asked to close its eyes to the problems we face, and wish them away on the backs of the earners. The left wing of this country accomplishes this magic act by convincing the middle class that the cause they fight for is those making under $250,000 per year. They just forget to mention how far under.
We can thank former President George W. Bush for his great efforts in making this path much easier for Obama to traverse. The current President is a man who proudly told “Joe the Plumber” that he sought a “redistribution of wealth” to cure all of our financial ills. We knew then, but it was Bush's advancement of his bank bailouts that allowed this path to be free of logistical pitfalls.
As we continue to discuss the economy, liberals in this country have begun to prop up appointed economists as a blockade to the true motives they chase, believing this Great Wall of Economy cannot be seen through despite its transparency, when it actuality all that is required is common sense.
When that wall is brushed aside they resort to the only tool they have argued with for nearly a decade- “Bush Bad.” The progressives in our country enjoyed crowing about Bush's abysmal approval rating during his last two years in office- it was proof to them of his abysmal failure. What is perplexing about this liberal delusion is remarkably they believe 80 percent of the country disapproving of Bush meant 80 percent of the country suddenly became liberal. Logic is not their strong suit.
If we are to survive as a society and buck this intended advancement towards what was once our worst nightmare, we must awaken from our slumber and once again become a nation of people that think freely and make difficult decisions. Each day politicians preach the difficult choice mantra. Choosing between Filet Mignon and smoked pork tenderloin is not a difficult decision.
The path that we need to travel is to convince an entire nation to change its way of life. Though it looked promising for decades, we must now acknowledge that long term consumption without equal production is a recipe for failure. Our leaders, current and past, refuse to recognize that we must focus on the foundation of which this country was built. We must stop our excess government funding of programs that started as transitional assistance and morphed into generational expectations. We must stop subsidizing the living conditions of the unmotivated, and ignore programs that bankrupt our society morally, ethically, and financially.
When Obama delivers his address this week, it will be the latest in which he eloquently maps the further destruction of our country. What will our response be?
Maniacal government spending that has been supported by both political parties must be replaced with a plan that rewards ability and hard work, not the opposite. This is not a Republican versus Democrat issue, it is an ideological battle concerning those willing to work through life and earn what they seek, and those looking for a handout.
Following Obama's remarks, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal will offer a rebuttal to the President. Jindal has been in front of the stimulus package argument by declaring that his state would not blindly accept the funding if it was determined that it would be a long term detriment. Jindal will be the first person to hold the national spotlight in prime time and offer another perspective to Obama.
He held his own against an aggressive David Gregory on Meet the Press Sunday in addressing the fact that any opposing party must offer suggestions, particularly in these challenging times, rather than simply being a party of no. Offering no alternative will only strengthen your opponent, and Jindal understands this.
But he will close the doors now. Before it's too late.

If he can offer logical options to the “we must act now, or we will all die, hope be damned” message that Obama has hammered home in recent weeks, it will help promote the common sense alternative to the contradiction that permeates our society today- that government needs to spend itself to death for us to survive.
Jindal failing to get this message across in a plain-spoken manner that the majority of the country can connect with will have the effect of Obama not closing a barn door, but just another opportunity for this country to right itself.
