When Facts become Opinions, America is Doomed

In attempt to discredit the facts I bring to the attention of any whom might listen, both an Obama supporter and a Republican targeted me recently on my Facebook page. One claimed I was supporting Obama, the other claimed I am a 'conspiracy theorist' who is only stating my opinion. They are the reason for this post. I am going to not only list my so-called conspiracy theories about Barack Obama, but also link back to mainstream media articles that discuss the topics. I am not one to argue with the mindless, but I do feel the need to defend my integrity. I am no liar, and I only believe things that I have thoroughly researched or have seen firsthand. And so goes the rest of this post..

In response to the recent re-election of President Barack Obama, I posted the following on my Facebook page, “Four more years of unauthorized military drone strikes, socialist healthcare, NDAA signing, Wall street bail out supporting, solyndra scandal defending, President of the United States. Oh America if you would only wake up to the reality of your country!” Fair enough right? Apparently not. In an effort to explain why the items I mentioned are facts I will break them each down individually. 

 1. Unauthorized Military Drone Strikes. According to an NBC article published on their website not my opinion, Pakistanis are infuriated that Obama was re-elected. Why? Well they are sick and tired of seeing their relatives slaughtered by drones flying above their heads. In addition, a CNN article highlights a study conducted by Stanford Law School and New York University's School of Law. The study stated that from 471-881 of all drone deaths are civilian causalities in Pakistan.NBC article   CNN article 

      2. Socialist Healthcare. The Affordable Healthcare Act is extremely controversial and has been since its conception, I would like to add that Romney wrote the original bill so this is not a partisan statement. I stated it is a socialist program. According to whitehouse.gov “Already, 34 States including the District of Columbia have received 100 percent Federally funded grants to build Exchanges.” Grant money that comes from taxpayers. Is that not socialism? Using money from the people to distribute it back into states to implement a government mandated healthcare program Check out the article from the whitehouse.gov 

   
       3.The NDAA. The controversial part of the NDAA  makes provisions to detain not only American citizens, but citizens of foreign countries. The ACLU agrees that this law is unconstitutional, and that alone should be enough for Americans to be up in arms about Obama signing it. Check out the link for yourself, I’m not making this stuff up. ACLU on the NDAA

      4.Wall-street bail out supporting, Solyndra Scandal defending. Our president has used taxpayer money to ‘invest’ in green energy companies that were destined to fail. In fact, heads of the scandal, Matt Rodgers and Steve Westly, were both spotted at one of Obama’s high priced fundraisers back in July, according to ABC news. Obama bailed out people who did and who continue to do him favors in his campaign. Check out these articles..Wallstreet Journal Online, ABC News

I’m not asking for everyone who comes by my page or blog to believe every word I write. I am simply asking for people to do a bit of research before accusing me of being a conspiracy theorist or ‘moron’. If we hope to advance as a nation and as a species we are going to have to put our differences aside, and learn to think outside of the flickering box in our living rooms.
