Anti Obama Swag for CPAC 2012

Lipstick Underground, a fellow member of the San Diego Local Order of Bloggers recently reviewed the CafePress...Candidate Swag Sales Barometer. That was enough to get my creative juices flowing for a late night graphics jam for freedom. The goal is to reduce the 67.3 million Americans on federal assistance at a cost of  $2.5 trillion annually per the Heritage Foundation. We need the Candidate Swag Sales Barometer to better reflect the fact that Americans treasure freedom and do not want to be enslaved to heartless government. The swag barometer currently sits at 47% "Pro Obama" and 53% "Anti Obama" as Lipstick Underground reports.

For the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) 2012 weekend, I want to launch a design for the "Anti Obama" side of the swag barometer. This graphic is a little tongue in cheek, and is not meant to compare Barack Obama to the devil. It does "blame Obama" for his policies that destroy individual freedom, self reliance, hope, charity, happiness and other things that Americans traditionally see as good. The ability to start your own business without undue regulation, licensing, taxing and other barriers to entry are key to individual happiness. Even if you do not start your own business, the fact that you CAN provides a relief valve for the despair of a dead end job. We each need our dreams and they do not match up to the dreams of Obama's radical father or Obama's policies of dependence.

What are we grateful for today? Most of us are not grateful for consequences that we are suffering due to the policies of Barack Obama and the radical left. These policies have made many more of us dependent but none of us are grateful. The poor are hopeless and the rich are punished.  I am grateful to God for the blessings He has bestowed upon my mind, heart and soul. Hopefully, some of you will find this graphic amusing enough to help us tip the Swag Barometer back in favor of freedom. All proceeds will be used to promote www.theSLOBs.org to help spread the message of freedom.

All Protestors Painted As Occupiers

Be forewarned:
The establishment wants us to despise the occupy movement. The goal is to paint everyone who opposes big government control as like Occupiers. I am not an avid Occupy Movement supporter. I do fully support the Tea Party Movement. This is an important distinction but one that is fundamentally at risk.

The Occupy Movement has two distinct goals as the left-wing political establishment founded it and funded it. First, change the media narrative away from the Constitutionalist Tea Party movement. Second, and more importantly, to villify all opposition to government. Opposition is painted with the broad brush of radicalism and lawlessness. Some say this is to facilitate a call for more government intervention.

In an example of, "for evil to prevail requires good men to do nothing," the occupy movement will be used to dissuade good people from doing what must be done. This will occur because "average" Americans do not want to be seen as unreasonable or radical. Painting all protestors as Occupiers is an intimidating tactic just as political correctness is intimidation against free speech.

Listen closely as the Obama administration and their comrades make anti-Occupy statements. This chorus will intone the "they are all radicals, unlike 'us'" message. This message will increase with the summer Tea Parties being compared to Occupy. The message will cresendo as election fraud and other anti-constitutional news raises opposition to big government to a new decible level. All activism will be painted with the precedent of the Occupy Wall Street Movement.

"You don't want to join 'them' do you? They are radical and we use our PBS voices."

We should refer to this idea as the The Occupy Precedent.
