Demagogue n: A person who tries to stir up the people by appeals to emotion, prejudice, etc. in order to become a leader and achieve selfish ends.
Beware the inevitable betrayal--remember the book Animal Farm and how those in power kept changing the rules?--by anyone who talks about redistributing the wealth of the rich--in Barack Obama’s now-famous words to “Joe the Plumber”--to ”spread the wealth around” -- the ARROGANCE as to want to be The One to do it! Although he held no public office, Robin Hood was also a thief who had favorable publicity.
God give us men. The time demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and willing hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor; men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue And dam his treacherous flatteries without winking;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking.
-- Josiah Gilbert Holland. 1819-1881
Who is such a Demagogue? Brace yourself for the truth...
Here are just three of Obama's biggest lies:
Obama Lie No. 1-- I will tax just the rich.
There is no such thing as a tax on just the rich. Taxes on wealthy people affect everyone.
Remember, Obama defines anyone making over $90,000 a year as "rich."
Joe the plumber discovered that Obama thinks Joe's rich too. Under Obama, he won't be able to hire new employees and grow his business.
Joe's not alone. Obama says he'll strip away the FICA cap at $90,000 for every worker. That means every dollar you earn over that amount, you'll pay 7 percent!
Obama Lie No. 2 -- I want to give a tax cut to the middle class.
Baloney!
Obama says he will let the Bush tax cuts expire. That's an automatic 5 percent (maximum) tax increase on almost all taxpayers.
Plus middle class folks pay capital gains taxes. Obama has said he wants to almost double them from a low of 15 percent to almost 30 percent.
He wants to hike the dividend tax, and he also has promised taxes on gas and energy.
Obama also wants to dramatically increase the estate tax, which had almost disappeared. There goes your idea of sharing your wealth with your kids in the future.
Obama Lie No. 3 -- I want to make America more secure.
Another outright lie.
In an age when crazies like Iran's Ahmadinejad are building ballistic missiles and promise to "destroy" the United States and Israel, Obama has promised to gut the missile defense program created by President Reagan.
"I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems," Obama said.
He has promised to cut "tens of billions" of dollars from the Defense Department. In an effort to make us more "secure," Obama plans to disarm us.
In the age of 9/11 can we afford such a radical Leftist in the White House?

FACTS: Barack Obama is already under oath as a Senator. He has already BROKE HIS PUBLIC PROMISE to the American People about campaign finance, to get more money in his lust for more power. Why would you believe he would keep any other promises? If you think his promise only to tax his current definition of ‘the rich’ more will be honored, remember that Bill Clinton campaigned for a tax cut, supposedly tried hard for two weeks to make it happen after he got into office, then imposed a RETROACTIVE tax increase that hurt all working families including lower-income workers. No dog ate his homework, he didn’t do the work. George W. Bush, while far from perfect, at least didn’t’ do THAT.
Do you remember when George H. W. Bush said ‘read my lips’ and then compromised with Democrats to raise taxes? Obama probably intends to be more like Bill Clinton--planning to raise taxes on everybody all along Realize that this is standard Marxist class-envy shuck and jive--demagoguery--and you are the intended target.
