The Obama administration's policies are bad. Bad in the sense that the
policies are morally corrupting. They take money and control away from
people and give them to government bureaucrats, who then decide what
should be done. The policies encourage people to be less responsible
personally and to rely more on the government.
Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher argued that "socialism itself — in all its incarnations, wherever and however it was applied — was morally corrupting," Claire Berlinski wrote in "There Is No Alternative: Why Margaret Thatcher Matters" (Basic Books, 2008). "Socialism turned good citizens into bad ones; it turned strong nations into weak ones; it promoted vice and discouraged virtue . . . transformed formerly hardworking and self-reliant men and women into whining, weak, and flabby loafers."
Sound familiar?
Republicans are currently debating the surface arguments about the Obama administration's programs — they cost too much, they are not paid for, and there is too much government intervention.
The core of the matter is the same today as it was in Great Britain in the 1970s.
The system President Obama is championing is morally wrong.
In order to win in November, Republican nominee Mitt Romney must win the argument, and thereby win the vote.
The argument is that the system Obama is promoting is bad and that it creates a weak society. Romney needs to articulate what it is to be an American; why we must defend America's core values; why they are good values.
