“During the 2008 presidential campaign, then-Senator Obama made no secret of his plans to reduce defense spending. And so it was no surprise when, in April 2011, President Obama ordered the Pentagon to slash its budget by $400 billion. This, of course, came in addition to the $400 billion in cuts he had already imposed.”
And yet you never see Obama standing on the steps of the Department of Energy or the Department of Education and demand that the same cuts be made to those agencies. Hmmmm, I wonder why? And why are not people in the military considered by this president to be just as valuable as firemen or policemen? You never, EVER, hear Obama propose cutting police or firemen. Well, aren’t people in the military just as important when it comes to defending this nation as the police or firemen? Yet you never hear Obama demand that major Federal subsidies for police, firemen, or teachers be cut in this new budget. So why is that?
Unions. Obama and the Democrats get lots of money from the teachers, police, and firemen’s unions that go to fund his slimy billion-dollar campaign. But our men and women in uniform have no union, only their duty, and most of their votes are not even counted in Democratic states because most of these people have to vote with absentee ballots. Why do you think organizations like ACORN don’t WANT Democratic states to count absentee ballots, especially those from military personnel? Because they know the Democrats would probably lose. So with no unions and no votes, Obama can afford to cut the military as much as he likes. That’s why you’ll never hear him demand that big cuts be made to teachers, firemen, or policemen. Obama will not rest until this country is just like France, one big, bloated, Federal bureaucracy that never met a union it didn’t like.
Time to stop this madness now, if for anything else just to help our men and women in the military. Vote Republican in November and at least give these fine people in our military the tools they need to defend our nation properly and don’t take us back to the way the military was in the late 1930s, just before we were attacked at Pearl Harbor.
