To the Editor:

    Who’s more likely to be overly concerned about oppression, the oppressor or the oppressee? Those who are in the business of controlling and policing for the benefit of the privileged and powerful spend more time complaining about being oppressed than all the people they themselves have spent a lifetime oppressing. They spend every waking hour terrified that something or someone is going to come along and turn the tables on them and level the playing field. That something is called elections and that someone is called President Obama.
    It is the stuff status-gouda nightmares are made of. So it’s no surprise that people like Fred Johnson is having nightmares about runaway horses with no reins and a government intent on income redistribution and strangling the free enterprise system with rules and regulations.
    Those who’ve been in the position of telling everybody else what to do are the last people on earth who wanted to be told what to do! But there is such a thing as turnabout is fair play and you reap what you sow. So if your children and grandchildren suffer it’s because of the sin of your own greed and abuse of power, not because of Obama. We have no sympathy for politics only serving the will of capitalism and not the people. So sweet dreams all you Obama haters out there. Looks like you’re going to need them.
