It is more fun criticizing
Is President Obama converting USA into a socialist nightmare? Is he turning Americans into a nation of dependents? Has this ruined America from a superpower into a country of wimps?
The Americans we know before were admireable: they were gutsy, hard working, pioneering, and resourceful. They did not depend on alms and grants. They helped countries who were struggling.
They were unlike the 40 million or so Americans who depend on foodstamps, who would rather live off on alms rather than breaking their bones to work. Why?
Because the leadership encourages them to be so!!

President Barack Obama is turning the United States into a "socialist
nightmare" by doing "blithely whatever he thinks he can get away with,"
Sen. Rand Paul says.
"It's hard to imagine exactly what his goal is because when you talk to
him one on one, he sounds reasonable and like he's not trying to
transform America into some socialist nightmare," Paul, a Kentucky
Republican, told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.
"However, when you look at his policies, one after another they are sort
of transformative — changing us from a country that has a marketplace
and freedom of choice to a country that is stifled by coercion and
mandates."

Paul said he is most disturbed by Obama's flaunting of the Constitution,
particularly bending laws to fit his agenda without getting
congressional approval, such as his tweaking of the Affordable Care Act.
"There doesn't seem to be any acknowledgement of restraint that the
Constitution and the rule of law restrains him in any way," he said.
"Basically he pushes the limit to whatever he thinks he can get and won't be rebuked."
But that may change as the Supreme Court weighs Obama's unprecedented changes to the law, Paul says.
"We're hoping that there will be more cases brought to bear where his
idea that he can amend Obamacare without legislation, without
congressional approval . . . [is] rebuked," he said.
"It takes a while to work through the courts, and in the meantime, he
just continues to do blithely whatever he thinks he can get away with."
"He's acting as if he's both the executive and the legislator . . .
That's a recipe for tyranny, and it is my fear that we're allowing the
president to have so much power gravitate to him that we're getting rid
of the checks and balances that really held government [in check] and
limited government's power."
Paul said the implementation of the ACA, and the cancellation of
insurance policies it has caused, are producing "stories that pull at
the heartstrings," Paul said.
"This is about whether you allow Americans to have freedom of choice or
whether you tell Americans, as the president's doing, that you're too
stupid, you can't make these choices, you can't decide what's good
health insurance, I'm going to tell you what's good.
"It's that arrogance from Washington that, really, the whole country
ought to rise up — Republican, Democrat, independent — and say, look,
this is a free country and we want our freedom back, basically."
