Time For A New Direction...

Yeah I know. A lot of you guys probably watched President Obama trying to rally his ever shrinking base during last night's State of The Union Speech. Sorry, I just couldn't do it. However I did get up early today and read up on what he had to say and how the media was reporting it. After about an hour of scouring the internet I came to the conclusion I should have just slept in. As far as I can tell he had nothing new to offer. In fact there are rumors going around about parts of his speech being plagerized from George W. Bush's 2007 State of The Union Speech. http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2014/01/29/Former-Bush-Speechwriter-Obama-Plagiarized-Bushs-2007-SOTU-Speech I guess in a weird sort of way that's a positive. It's taken six long years but he's finally gotten away from blaming George Bush for his many failures and is now plagerizing his words. That right there's something you democrats oughta proud of. And of course his dedicated media lap dogs just loved everything he had to say. They fall all over themselves making excuses for his policy failures. They blame a divided congress. They blame repubicans, especially those evil Tea Party types. They blame Fox News and talk radio. They blame conservative bloggers. They blame an uninterested population for his low approval ratings. But they never mention why so many of us have lost interst in his empty words. It could be that most Americans resent the hell out of being spied on and the ever growing police state we're living in. It could be that the majority of us understand that extending unemployment benefits and raising the minimum wage won't do diddly squat for any of us. It could be that a lot of us are still outraged by the way this administration used the IRS to punish and silence their political opponents. It could be we're still waiting to find out who made the decision to blame their disgraceful non-response reaction in Benghazi on a stupid YouTube video. Maybe it's due to the fact that 6 years into the Obama administration the world has become a much more dangerous place. Iran is laughing in our faces as they continue to march toward their long sought goal of obtaining nuclear weapons. Russia and Syria played us for a bunch of chumps and Assad is still killing hundreds of thousands of his own people. Instead of the democracy and freedom the world was promised, Egypt's Arab Spring has resulted in an Egypt embroiled in complete and total chaos. And we sit by and watch as the long and hard fought gains our troops made in Iraq and Afghanistan are given away like they never mattered in the first place. No, the media never wants talk about any of that. And they sure as hell don't want to talk about the repeated, bald faced lies Obama told us in order to shove his much hated Obamacare law down our throats. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpa-5JdCnmo America, it's time for a new direction. The path we've so foolishly chosen is destined for failure and we all know it. Today I ask you to stand with me as I stand with people like Rand Paul. We need to write letters to the editors of any and every newspaper we can think of. We need to talk to our famlies, friends and neighbors. We need to call into talk radio shows. We need to get involved in political campaigns even if it's something as simple as placing a few yard signs. Why? Well, it sure isn't to try some lib's mind. It's to let other like minded people know they're not alone. Like Joe Biden once said, "It is a big..." Ah never mind, you know what he said... Kevin McGinty
