First Senator Mary Landrieu of Louisiana is bribed with $300 million in pork to support Obamacare, then Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas “suddenly” removes her objections. Lincoln appears to be resigned to being voted out of office and likely has cut a deal to be hired by the Obamunists once she is removed from the Senate.  Landrieu is unashamed for taking the bribe for her state, but she should be, and we expect, Louisianians will increasingly be outraged. And what was the bribe Senator Nelson agreed to for Nebraska?  Time will reveal this mystery. This also makes us wonder what the going state bribe will be for making Obama President for Life...$500 million, maybe $1 billion?   The Obamunists don’t care how much these bribe schemes cost since it’s all newly printed money anyway and a hidden inflation tax on the American public and further, their ideology trumps all public welfare considerations.

Abraham Lincoln reminded us of some basic truths…truths which our government now wants you to believe are no longer true:

• You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
• You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
• You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
• You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
• You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
• You cannot build character and courage by taking away men’s initiative and independence.
• You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves

Every one of the above “failed policies” are currently being promoted by the government of the United States.
