Conservatism Won the Election for Barack Hussein Obama
An all telling truth of this election cycle is “conservative” ideas and principles are still the influential vehicle that drives people to the polls to pull the proverbial lever. It is what wins an election for any candidate in this “center-right” nation. President-Elect Barack Hussein Obama had to faux is true intentions in favor of churching them up to be seemingly conservative.
He knew it to be political suicide if he just stated that he will raise taxes....So he had to proclaim that he was reducing taxes for anyone making less than $250,000(this number has varied horribly see previous blogs). In truth, his plan calls for increasing taxes on wealthier Americans and small business owners, and then giving credits to the over 40% of the remaining population that does not even pay federal income tax.
He knew it to be dangerous to proclaim that he would increase the size of government....So he had to state that he would go through the budget line by line to cut out the programs that do not work. Though, he promises nearly a trillion dollars in new programs.
He had to appear hawkish and tough in these dangerous times...So he proposed a “surge” in United States forces in Afghanistan….When he did not even support a surge in forces in the pivotal war in Iraq. Then he voted to cut off the war’s funding just to expedite the Dem’s obviously wrong assumption that the war was not winnable.
It is interesting and in some ways reassuring that every debate and election cycle, in the last two decades, has become a beauty pageant for who better represents the conservative principles of lower taxes, smaller government, and national defense (though most fail horribly at following through on these promises). It still breaks down to who triumphs these ideas and principles. So even though conservatism will obviously take a step back for the next two years, Americans still want conservative principles, ideas, and philosophies.
President-Elect Barack Hussein Obama successfully portrayed himself as the champion of these ideas and principles. With the gift of elegant and articulate orations, he successfully masked his limited record and his intended plans (both of which, in my opinion, are contrary to his rhetoric). None the less, Americans where driven to the polls by their vehicle of innateness towards conservatism, with ersatz Barackstar behind the wheel.
