Here are a few facts you may not know. They go together as well as a peanut butter, turkey and anchovy sandwich, but they are equally stimulating to a curious palate. Hope you’re hungry for a bite of what America once was and could possibly be again with a side of what it is not and may never be again.
Theodore Roosevelt’s expectations of immigrants and what it means to be an American citizen, as he stated in 1907:
“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…there can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag…we have room for but one language here, and that is the English language…and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
Ever heard of the “Transaction Tax”? Here is a video of Nancy Pelosi advocating this tax, which she views as a great idea. She proposes placing a 1% tax on literally all transactions. Whether you fill your vehicle with three gallons of gas from a local gas station, pull twenty dollars out of your nearest ATM or purchase a $300,000.00 house, if this tax ever became a reality the government would get 1% every single time you made a purchase. Pelosi defines the tax as a nearly unnoticeable percentage of money that would fill the governments “Tills” with revenue to create jobs and to pay off national debt.
This is the exact presumptuous, pompous and arrogant line of thinking that sparked the American Revolution. We fought for Independence because of Britain’s exorbitant demands of taxation, in which the King got fatter and the people in the colonies received nothing in return.
And lastly, a couple of quotes that reinforce the reality of Barack Obama’s ideas:
“The trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.”
And from an anonymous mind, “Fathom the odd hypocrisy that Obama wants every citizen to prove they are insured, but people don’t have to prove they are citizens.”
