Since his reelection, President Obama has been clearly showing the country what he intends his next term to look like. All of his cabinet picks have been a slap in the face to most Americans and our ally Israeli, he has threatened unilateral action via Executive Orders to get around the lack of Congressional support for his proposals, and he has pointedly refused to negotiate with Congress on the budget. Not worried about facing another election, he is ready to impose his rule as King Obama. Are we really going to let this happen?
The election was a travesty. How did Republicans manage to lose? I still can't believe that the GOP was not even able to get as many people out to vote for Romney as for McCain! Obama's first term was a complete mess and he country is in a worse state now than when he took office. There are fewer people employed today than at the height of the recession and the national debt is well over $16 trillion. What does it take to get people to sit up and take notice?
Republicans need to do two things: first, they need to take the gloves off and start fighting dirty. There's no way to win this country back by playing nice when the Democrats have no trouble lying about their records and intentions; second, we all need to come together and press the Republicans in Congress to fight every move Obama makes. It is much more important for this country that they do not give in. We have to give up sparring within the party and present a unified front before we reach the point of no return. The things that tend to divide us, like social issues and illegal immigration need to take a back seat to the far more pressing issues of wasteful spending, entitlement reform and protecting the Constitution. Look at the Democrats. Obama is appointing a cabinet full of white men. Do you see women's or minority groups saying a word about it? Not a peep. We need to show the same unity, but with a principled cause, and push our party leaders to work together to do the will of the people.
