obamakoolaidThe Messiah phenom is back and instead of wine at this supper it’s a glass of kool-aid for everyone AROUND! Can you feel it! Halllllllelujah! Praise Obama!

Okay, so Obama has been going out to the folks (imagine me saying “TO THE FOLKS” in my best preacher voice) to spread the fear about what would happen if the stimulus wouldn’t get passed. Ignore the fact that the economy would work itself out on its own after cutting back some or that tax cuts would do the economy wonders. Don’t think about those realistic scenarios. We need to get back to speaking in vague, . Plus, people need their free shit now, Obama! I mean we’ve got promises to keep, remember???

So Obama got the revival started up again in Florida (via Michelle Malkin). The first is Julio – college student, works at McDonalds, communications major with very odd speaking voice that plans to make it in radio (self-delusional doesn’t even begin to describe it). When Obama asks if Julio has healthcare, Julio somehow forgets that paying tuition at college gives him healthcare already. But the govt. is going to give him unnecessary assistance, so, Praise Obama!!! Oh, and Julio forgets that he is not the ONLY college student who works while going to school to pay the bills like rent, food, beer. Somehow millions of other college students can survive, but Julio needs the Messiah to come down and saaaaaaaaaave him from this terrible situation. You know that “terrible” situation where he has the opportunity to actually work AND go to college. I mean, it’s soooooo unfair. The government should have just automatically made him a millionaire on his 18th birthday. Good grief.

Anydelusion, here’s my shoutout to Julio – I worked three jobs and went to school full-time during my college years. And the only handout I ever got was a student loan, which I’m currently paying back now with interest. I didn’t need a free lunch at the expense of someone else’s income through taxes.

Now, the revival keeps going, folks. Can’t stop the Kool-Aid flowing euphoria because Henrietta needs a house. I mean it’s everybody’s right to have a house in the U.S., right? Ummm, WRONG. It is not a constitutional right to own a home in the U.S. You have to earn it – through keeping good credit, through earning income, through going to school (and doing well in school) so that you can gain employment to earn that income. I know, such hard mandates that every other citizen can abide by except poor Henrietta – I’m sure it’s just that she is a “victim” of choices SHE has made in her life.

Here’s my counter to these stupid people. When my company lays me off because they have that much more to collect in taxes to buy Henrietta a home or handout Julio double the amount of healthcare, does that mean I can come crash out Henrietta’s place? Can Julio pay for my healthcare since I won’t have insurance anymore (being unemployed) and he’ll have two times more than me (from his school & the govt.)?

People should think twice before just turning to government blindly for handouts because the money has to come from somewhere – taxes from your friend, family member, boss or neighbor. If it’s a crime for you to steal money from them, why support the government doing the dirty work then?

I’m not saying I don’t feel for these people. Life sucks. It’s hard and we work hard for what in the end seems so little. But that’s life – it’s not fair. But that doesn’t mean we should force the government to take money from hard-working citizens because you or I cannot face adversity in our lives. What doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. So pick yourself up and keep working toward that better tomorrow. It may be cheesy, but guess what it’s true. You’ll get there, but it just takes times. Some of the greatest successes in history happened only AFTER the greatest failures.

“Failure is only the opportunity to begin again, only this time more wisely.” ~ Henry Ford
