A Heartbreaking Unspoken Consequence of Obama

Lloyd Marcus / American Thinker

Decades of socialist/progressive indoctrination in our schools, media, and culture, plus six years of Obama, have yielded a devastating unspoken consequence.  It is the loss of who we use to be as Americans.

In his 1961 Inaugural Address, President John F. Kennedy said, “My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”  Democrats have perverted Kennedy’s inspiring challenge.  Their dispiriting goal is to have as many Americans as possible controlled by and dependent on government, even for life itself, which is at the root of ObamaCare.

Today, far too many Americans see no shame in living on government assistance or scamming the system.  The left’s campaign, led by the Obama administration, to instill an entitlement mindset in many has proven successful.  The administration even campaigned targeting minorities, discouraging their instinct to be self-reliant.  Even worse, the administration portrays getting on welfare as the honorable thing to do.  Dear Lord, what kind of nation are we becoming?

An unprecedented 47 million Americans are on food stamps, which is riddled with fraud.  The Obama administration has added over 10,000 new oppressive job-killing regulations.  Consequently, 90 million are unemployed and on unemployment, which is also riddled with fraud.  Here’s another first for America: over 11 million are receiving disability benefits…riddled with fraud.  Clearly, many believe that working is for suckers when the government is handing out freebies.
