Dear Mr. President,

Welcome to the ashbin of history.

With the speech you gave this week, you have firmly and permanently put yourself in the same garbage bag as all the other communists and socialists of the 20th century.

Your speech sounded like the faint echo of a speech Lenin gave in an icy square in Moscow 100 years ago.

The promises you made, Mr. President, about the government giving people things they can’t provide for themselves – a better income, reliable health care, an advanced education, cheaper mortgages, a “shiny, happy” life – have been made time and time again… sometimes by speakers even better than you.

And they have always been lies.

While the government can demand obedience (and taxes), it can’t mandate dedication, creativity, or innovation. The fact is, the government itself is nothing more (or less) than the organized ambitions of the people. Promising something to the people that they don’t already have is a logical absurdity. And therein lies the timeless flaw of all collectivist theory: Governments cannot deliver benefits to the people that the people cannot deliver to themselves.

To demonstrate this truth, consider this example… Governments cannot simply mandate higher tax revenue. Any substantial increase to tax rates will reduce total collections, an economic phenomenon known as the “Laffer Curve.” This has been proven countless times in our country and many others. Any sensible person will immediately understand why. Taxes are a disincentive. The higher the marginal rate of tax, the more powerful its impact.

That’s why, over many decades (and many different tax structures), U.S. tax revenues have been remarkably stable at around 20% of GDP. That’s why, as you surely know, Mr. President, changing the tax code will not result in increased tax revenue. Taxing only the rich simply doesn’t work. It never has. And it never will. To increase the government’s revenues, we must first increase the size of the economy. The government cannot tax what the economy doesn’t produce.

In another time, most Americans might have simply ignored your speech as the ignorant remarks of yet another handsome, Ivy League-educated, dilettante president. But at this point in our history, my bet is people are going to take you far more seriously than you expect. In fact, I think you’re going to get what you deserve – the trash heap. Why will Americans turn on you so rapidly and so completely?

Two things have changed – forever – about American politics.

The first is the media and access to critical information. It’s no longer possible for a president’s administration to control what people read, see, and think by simply managing the evening news broadcasts.

Thus, all your lies are now exposed almost instantly and broadcast to millions of people via websites and services like the Drudge Report, Twitter, and Facebook. Socialism cannot possibly survive over any long period of time in a society with a free media – because socialism is based on a lie. Facebook means the “half-life” of socialism is now weeks instead of years. Even mainstream publications like the Wall Street Journal have called you a liar this week. They have no choice. Your lies were broadcast to the entire world long before their op-ed pieces appeared.

Your advisors told you none of these “bloggers” mattered. All you had to do was promise more benefits to more voters and then force fewer voters to pay for it all. I’m sure you did the political calculus… You believed your power to bribe and bamboozle the poor and the ignorant was stronger than the resentment you’d engender among the “rich.” And I must admit… since at least World War II, that’s been a safe bet in American politics.

But you forgot one critical factor: We simply can’t afford this nonsense anymore…

Immediately after your speech, the price of silver went from $39 to a new high above $42. Gold went up, too.

These are signs, Mr. President, that the world is losing confidence in our currency. If our foreign creditors were to call in our debts, America would suffer an economic cataclysm unlike anything we’ve ever seen in our entire history. Americans now owe a total of $56 trillion. Without the Fed’s money-printing, it’s unlikely we could afford even the interest on these existing debts… much less the $1.5 trillion or more in debt you continue to rack up year after year by promising benefits we haven’t earned.

Sooner or later, our foreign creditors are going to decide our money-printing amounts to a default, and they will stop buying our bonds. On that day, everyone who trusts you, everyone who believes in your lies, will be wiped out.

But that won’t be as many people as you expect.

Almost every American knows in his heart what made this country great for the 200 years between 1776 and 1976. It wasn’t the lies of our presidents. It wasn’t our ability to print money and rip off our Chinese creditors. It wasn’t the modern crybaby mentality of our school system or our unions. It wasn’t the baby boomer’s dream of a 40-year retirement with free prescription drugs. And it sure as hell wasn’t a suave, made-for-TV version of Karl Marx promising everything to everyone, but with no way to pay for it.

No. What built America was her people’s unwavering faith that they were free to enjoy the rewards of their accomplishments.

As our country tumbles into bankruptcy and crisis, the people are going to want their prosperity back, Mr. President. And deep down, they all know… even your most fervent supporters know… you don’t have the goods. You don’t have the foggiest idea of how to deliver prosperity to America because, really, you don’t know anything of what America is all about.

Regards,
Porter Stansberry

Every time the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) raises its head, somehow they seem to find a new way of embarrassing themselves (and the Black community).

They are currently having their national conference in Kansas City, MO. And they have made a media splash this year; but for all the wrong reasons. The NAACP is has been dubbed by the media as the nation’s premier civil rights organization. For once, I wish someone would define “civil rights,” but that’s another column.

In recent years, the NAACP has lost its relevance, especially in regards to the younger generation like mine. Very few of my friends are members of the NAACP and most have never even considered joining.

There is no question that the NAACP has a storied past and they should be recognized for such. My readers know I have been very critical of the NAACP over the years. I would love to be able to write a glowing column about them, but dammit, they have to give me something to work with. Unfortunately, they have not given me anything to work with for today’s column.

During the planning phase of putting together a national convention, the leadership of the organization must always ask, “What is the sound bite they want the media to focus on?” Based on the media coverage from the NAACP’s convention, it is quite obvious that they never asked this question during their planning phase.

Of all the issues and problems facing the Black community, how can they waste time passing a resolution labeling the Tea Party movement as racist? And the NAACP wonders why they are considered irrelevant? In the immortal words of football great, Chad Johnson (Cincinnati Bengals), “CHILD, PLEASE!”

According to the NAACP’s website: “Today (Tuesday), NAACP delegates passed a resolution to condemn extremist elements within the Tea Party, calling on Tea Party leaders to repudiate those in their ranks who use racist language in their signs and speeches.”

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? They actually wasted hours and hours on this type of foolishness. I have an idea, let’s also get them to pass a resolution stating that “Hitler didn’t like Jews, Tiger Woods does not date Black Women, the sun rises in the east & sets in the west, LeBron James now plays for the Miami Heat, and HBO is spelled HBO.”
Continuing quoting from their website, “the resolution will not become official NAACP policy until approved by National Board of Directors in October.” I am not kidding you; this is actually on their website! So, how will they “implement” this policy? Will they require all employees to swear under oath that they recognize the Tea Party as racist?

Juxtapose this with what’s going on in Memphis, Tennessee. Congressman Steve Cohen is a two term member of the House running for reelection in November. Cohen is the only white person in Congress who represents a majority Black district. He is being challenged by former 18 year mayor, Willie Herenton (who is Black).

Herenton has made race the central theme of his campaign and has been using incendiary language, cloaked with a lot of code words. His campaign slogan is “Just One.” This is in reference to the fact that Tennessee has no Blacks in its Congressional delegation.

According to a report by the Associated Press (AP) last month, Herenton held up a picture and said, “This picture is totally unacceptable.” He was holding up a photo of the state’s two U.S. senators and nine representatives. He continued, “I’m truly urban. This is an urban district. It has some critical urban needs that you have to feel, feel within your belly.”

The AP article continues, on one occasion, Herenton drew a line when comparing blacks and whites, saying the facts show whites have had better opportunities to succeed than blacks. So, more diversity is needed in Congress to level the playing field, Herenton said. If a white candidate had made similar statements, he would have been forced to end his campaign (and rightfully so). So, if the NAACP is so concerned about racist elements within an organization, then they should also pass a resolution condemning Herenton.

The NAACP has made no public denunciation of Herenton and his racist statements in his congressional race. But, yet they want Republicans and Tea Party members to denounce one of their own; even though they are not willing to live by the same moral standard.

Weak organizations take strong positions on weak issues. This is the reason no one takes the NAACP seriously anymore.

The theme for this year’s convention is: “One Nation, One Dream.” If we are to achieve this goal, then groups like the NAACP must speak out against racism whenever and wherever it happens to rear its ugly head—even if it emanates from one of our own.

The NAACP’s silence on Willie Herenton has me teed off!

I don’t understand why it’s okay to make a movie titled and making fun of "white chicks" but would never be okay for that to be reversed.

Also, I’m confused why there can be awards and recognitions through programs such as the NAACP for ONLY people who are black but that would never fly for whites.

I understand african-americans were once slaves but that was over 100 years ago right??? I’m just confused why they’re is such a sense of entitilement in the african american culture??

Thanks for help!
P.S. I wasn’t saying that black people are racist I was saying that much more is tolerated by white people, it seems, than black…. and maybe NAACP wasn’t the right example however it does EXCLUDE white people yet again…
