Is Social Security Secure? NO!

Is Social Security Secure?

The short answer is no!

Social security is certain to see its demise in 30 years or so. President Bush’s attempt to save this government program is timely.

The Democrats know all this. It is not a secret.

Here’s the problem: The Democrats fear the Republican Party is taking their program… their power base. They have worked long and hard, since FDR put his signature on the first Social Security Act, to create a class of people dependent on Social Security and therefore, dependent on the Democrat Party. Remember, Social Security is, as the name implies, a SOCIAL Program. Since the Democrat Party is, in fact, the Socialist Party in America, they feel they own this program. The Republicans, as they see it, are stealing Social Security right out from under them and, by doing so, the Republicans are further reducing the power of the Democrat Party with voters and, most especially, the Democrat Party’s base.

They’re right! The Republican Party intends to gut the Democrat Party and make the Democrats irrelevant, period.

The Democrats, on the other hand, are furious. They are fearful… and they have a right to be fearful. The American voter has heard the message of the Democrat Party and the American voters rejected it, outright. And they continue to reject it. Plus, voters have watched, and listened, as the Democrat Party has done nothing to gain the confidence of the voters as they vociferously play obstructionist games in Congress. They have been successful in creating an image in the voter’s minds of a Party, which cares nothing for the American people, or for the security of the country, and are concerned, only, with grabbing power and hanging on to it… at any cost.

That is what the American voter sees. The DNC is doing nothing to disabuse the voter of that image of their party, and are, in fact, bolstering it by moving Howard Dean into the leadership position in the DNC.

We have a bold President in George Bush. We have a leader. He is not afraid to strike out on his own. He leads from the front. He thinks big, he talks big, he has a big vision, and here’s the clincher, he delivers big!

Americans admire a leader like Bush. He is the embodiment of the way Americans see themselves. Yes, to our European detractors, George Bush is a “COWBOY”. What the “Old Worlders” fail to understand is… referring to an American, as a cowboy, is the highest praise. Thank you.

So, as the Democrat sun is setting, maybe they should look at themselves to learn the cause of their own demise. They are a deeply wounded political party…and the wounds are self-inflicted.

We wish the President “good luck” as he leads the country in yet another attack on the empty threats and equally empty promises of the Democrat Party.

Someone once said: “Leaders are like Eagles. They don’t flock. You find them one at a time.”


Finally, in George Bush, we have a leader!

Your Obedient Servant,

“Longstreet”
