Open Thread: The Life of Julia
As you've probably heard by now, President Obama has admitted to fabricating a woman in one of his two autobiographies. Apparently, he's had a hand in fabricating another woman, a hypothetical one named "Julia," who supposedly is representative of just how helpful his policies are to women:
In the new Barack Obama campaign piece The Life of Julia, voters can "Take a look at how President Obama's policies help one woman over her lifetime -- and how Mitt Romney would change her story." It is one of the most brazenly statist pieces of campaign literature I can ever remember seeing.
Let's, for the purposes of this post, set aside the misleading generalizations regarding policy in the ad (no one is innocent on that account, obviously). What we are left with is a celebration of a how a woman can live her entire life by leaning on government intervention, dependency and other people's money rather than her own initiative or hard work. It is, I'd say, implicitly un-American, in the sense that it celebrates a mindset we have -- outwardly, at least -- shunned.
It is also a mindset that women should find offensively patronizing. When they're old enough, I hope my two daughters will find the notion that their success hinges on the president's views on college-loan interest rates preposterous. Yet, according to the "Life of Julia," women are helpless without the guiding hand of Barack Obama.
Of course, the use of an imaginary life can be illustrative of any political agenda, including those diametrically opposed to Obama's. James Taranto has collected several of the best alternate scenarios of the Life of Julia which illustrate that this imaginary woman can be harmed by Obama's political ideas.

You'll have to vote democrat because your livelihood depends on them. Then the government will totally control our lives. Now we're only partially controlled.

Remeber that facts are only acceptable if they support the narative. This is the liberal/socialist/Marxist mantra. If one can envision a fictional scenario where a particular policy might benefit a fictional character in her fictional situation, then the policy MUST be good.
The socialists dream is a world where the majority are supported and sustained by the hard work and labor of a small minority. They never envision that the small minority might just stop their hard work.

Interesting that they use the name Julia
Submitted by Galvanic on Fri, 05/04/2012 - 11:02am.
Julia was the name of an NBC-TV program that ran for several years in the late '60s. It was probably the first to feature a black American as its main star in a role other than a servant.
Julia -- played actress/singer by Diahann Carroll -- was a widowed nurse and single mom of a young boy named Corey. Her husband had been a military pilot killed in action in Vietnam
The show dramatized the challenges of being a single parent and occasionally delved intelligently into race issues, but it emphasized Julia's strengths, love for her son, and determination to carry on. Hers was the antithesis of a government-dependent family.

I even miss Clinton as well, which I never thought would happen. For all his faults and the many issues I did not agree with Clinton on, I do not believe he was trying to "transform" America into Europe -- or even worse. He was not O. Clinton upset me at times, but O scares the crap out of me!
I know many conservatives are not excited about Romney. But folks, just think about four more years of rule under O. Our country cannot endure that -- the price is not only too high -- it just can't be paid, in multiple ways. It would be devastatingly destructive. And O would have much more unrestricted power the last four years to make even more lasting, ungodly changes that we can't roll back -- for a loooong time, or perhaps ever.
I know Romney is not ideal for many. But he does hold some key ideals that our children deserve to have intact as they live their lives out in this country, and he does have respect for the Constitution. We really need to actively participate to get Romney through those White House doors. If we don't, America, IMO, will not be able to reclaim what America really is meant to be -- and we will be a lost nation.
It's Romney. We must get him elected. Just sit and think about what happens if we do not -- domestically and internationally.

Must remove Obama and all the others who believe that America NEEDS to be "fundamentally transformed".
We must also begin to remove all the career politicians from Congress.
Congress was NEVER intended to be anyone's career!
Congress was intended to be filled with Americans from all walks of life, a cross section if you will, not just lawyers!
Lawyers have had their chance to run government and they blew it, it's time to try something new and different, (progressive even).
Why don't we return to the model the founders left us, citizen government?
The House of Representatives should be made up of a lot of Joe the plumbers, and Sally the librarian, and Martin the accountant, etc. etc.
Lawyers have given us 2700 page bills that even they don't understand in full, and tell us, get this, "we have to pass the bill to find out what's in it". This answer was given by none other than the Speaker of the House. It sounded like she was talking to her grandchildren, not her constituents.
How rude!
It's time we break up the good old boys club, it seems to have gotten out of hand. These representatives have only their interest at heart. They care only for their next election, or next big stock tip. They lie to us, they steal our money and use it to get reelected, they make fools of us daily.
If we the people don't remove these people in November, we might as well kiss America good by.

Will we the people sit back and allow ANYONE to "fundamentally transform" America.

The real life of Julia as
Submitted by ant on Fri, 05/04/2012 - 2:58pm.
The real life of Julia as determined by Big Daddy BO;
At the age of 3, after being born shouldered with enormous government debt, things are good, her father manages to stay under-employed but is still able to eeke out money and provisions for his family. Although some heavy fines and trouble plague him, as Julia is fined for selling lemonade on her front lawn, is thrown out of school for 'sexual bullying' after trying to kiss a boy, and suspended for bringing her Barbie doll to school thereby portraying herself a toddler fascist perpetuating 'extremist sexual/gender prejudices and crimes'.
At the age of 13, she is beaten by a group of blacks while walking to school who find her 'whiteness' offensive and have been riled to anger and racism by the likes of BO, Jackson, Sharpton, and others. She blames herself for being an 'oppressor'.
After high school, she decides that she can't afford College and cannot register as an 'American Indian', so she goes to work as a waitress after applying for jobs for nine months to no avail, she must hide her tips, or BO will tax them to help the other 'Julia's', which makes her feel guilty and a little paranoid, but she must have money for the rising costs of gas and food, even if it's not the arugula and seafood that the First Couple enjoy, she must violate Mooch's 'MiPLato' regs, and buy 'junk' food sometimes...more guilt.
One horrible night she is jumped and almost raped by the 'hard-working New Americans' known as MS-13 that BO and noone else in government is doing anything about, Julia escapes because she violated the law and 'armed' herself, she wonders why her wages are being stolen to pay for the children and medical bills of such ugly thugs.
Julia finds a second job doing some trade work, but loses a lot of money when the Unions keep shutting down her job site, or bureacrats aren't happy with the 'proper permits'. So she struggles, but she's smart and she knows how to find bargains..she doesn't wear $500 sneakers or $3,000 sweaters..she 'sacrifices'..she also knows to buy her contraception at the Wal-mart for $9.00, though some would consider her not smart enough to be a law student.
The middle age years find her just making ends meet as more and more of her wages go to help the "disenfranchised' and those not treated as 'fairly' as her. Such as the Muslim Brotherhood, the illegal aliens that attacked her, Brazilian Oil Companies, and 'green' fiascos. She is regularly insulted throughout these years by the media and those who claim to 'represent' her for being who she is and what she believes, she never let it get her down. These years aren't really considered important, aside from her ability to be a political prop as a 'persecuted, victim American female', she is largely just considered an ignorant, middle-class tax-payer.
As she grows into her senior years, she finds there is no 'social security', medicare or anything else, many on the left and the media pretend like they never saw it coming and blame people like Paul Ryan, who, on the contrary tried to warn them and were mocked....but hey, whatcha gonna do? As she has spent so many years working hard while others have existed solely 'on the dole', she works for as long as she can, just to survive, until one day she passes away, and, not having retained a lawyer, has all her remaining wealth confiscated by the State.

The Robin Hood Dilemma
Submitted by CobraMan on Sat, 05/05/2012 - 2:19pm.
I was watching a DVD of Robin Hood, with Errol Flynn, and I came across a dilemma. Which is: how would the liberals treat Robin Hood today?
Think about it: first Robin Hood was illegally hunting (poaching) in a government protected wildlife sanctuary, Sherwood Forrest. Then he openly refused to pay his taxes, to pay his fair share. Then he attacked and robbed people while they were traveling to pay their taxes, pay their fair share, and gave this ill gotten money to the others, who didn't declare that income on their taxes, who didn't pay their fair share. He also was best friends with a religious fanatic, Friar Tuck, and thought that the this religious fanatic should be Sheriff, thus violating the separation between Church and State.
How do you think the liberals would react if Robin Hood did those things today? I think that the illegal poaching in government protected wildlife sanctuaries alone would get him branded as an enemy of the people. What do you think?
By the way, when I was a kid, I thought Errol Flynn was the next best thing to Santa Claus, much better than Roy Rodgers, and he put Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar Man (de-de-de-de-de-de), to shame, but, now as an adult, all I can think of is: My God, what a ham! He's worse than Captain Kirk!

Obama could have just come up with the "Robin Rule", by which Robin Hood says he wants to pay taxes but nobody has actually 'made' him yet, and he would volunteer to pay taxes....someday...

the Dear Leader seems to think Julia should have only one child? Can you say, "one-child policy"?
