‘The The Russians Russians Are Are Coming Coming’ Needs to be Updated

Mike HennesseyOP-ED

Dateline Dayton – Pauline and I went to see the 1966 film “The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming” last weekend at the Cool Film Series, at the Victoria Theatre, in downtown Dayton. I have written about this outstanding film series in the past. I believe we are heading in the same direction in 2012, although this time it will not be a comedy.

With the actions taken by the U.S. Supreme Court last week on Obamacare, the title for the 2012 version will be “Socialism Is Coming, Socialism Is Coming.” Under President Obama, we are on a fast track to losing many of the freedoms that, at one time, our country fought for, freedoms supposedly guaranteed by the Constitution.

Whether or not we like it, unless the voters see fit to vote President Obama out of office, which should be done, even if the opponent isn’t the best successor. We know where we are headed under the current administration, new taxes, forced insurance and health decisions being made for us by Obama cronies. More importantly, add to this the loss of religious freedom with his administration and hopefully you can see that almost anybody would be better than what we have.

I realize President Obama isn’t totally to be blamed for the situation our country is in. However, he is ultimately responsible. Unfortunately we have a group in Washington, who are more interested in seeing how they can legally line their pockets, make laws they don’t have to obey and jam insurance down our throat while enjoying the best insurance coverage and a great pension. I don’t believe that’s what our Founding Fathers intended.

Heavy Medal Fans?

Another poor decision from the Obama Supreme Court was. that you could lie about your military service medals. As I see it, that decision just says, lying is perfectly acceptable. Possibly this action was necessary, as all the politicians do is lie to the American public, from the President on down.

President Obama’s ideal of sharing our wealth will destroy any initiative our country has left. What incentive do you have to make money or create jobs when the government is going to take your money away?

Your vote in November could be the must important decision you will ever need to make, for our freedom and for the future of our great country – as we know it today.
