This morning the front page of the Augusta Chronicle reported that President Obama vowed, during his State of the Onion chat, to help the middle class.  I did not watch this speech nor the Republi-con response (had to have one).  I haven’t wasted time on these yearly debacles in, well, years.  However, experience has taught me that a politician always means the exact opposite of what he says.  Ergo, the middle class has been targeted for destruction.

The middle class has been under assault for decades.  Two of my favorite websites, http://endoftheamericandream.com/ and http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/, regularly feature stories about the dramatic decline of the American middle class.  They seem to be run by the same man (or men); they are very fond of lists.  “27 Facts That Show How The Middle Class Has Fared Under 6 Years Of Barack Obama,” and so forth.  Give a few of these a read after you consider Deflate-gate and the racial ramifications of “SELMA.”

Remember, this is the man who said your health insurance costs would go way down if not disappear entirely.  Looked at that withholding statement lately?  Whatever Barry said, let’s assume it may be the death knell for the middle class…

I also read somewhere recently that the Obama regime wants to help us by regulating the internet.  This all reminds me of a hack speech I did watch, years ago, wherein Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich jointly expressed their resolve to “help us.”  They didn’t.

I guess the new internet rules (laws, orders? who cares…) will do for the web what the TSA did for ease of air travel or what the Department of Education did for schooling.  I would educate myself this scheme if I thought it mattered.  Washington does as Washington wants so we’ll just have to accept whatever they “give” us.  Who knows, this blog may soon contain a header advising potential readers they have to pass through a metal detector or pat-down prior to reading further.

Thank God for democracy; you can consult one of your elected representatives to explain these plans to you in detail.  I myself recently visited with several members of Congress.  I took a picture:

(Look at those thoughtful faces.)
