STATE OF THE UNION INCONSISTENCIES
(Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, the President's actions
are inconsistent with his words of the State of the Union.
His praise of job growth is undermined by ObamaCare, which the OMB
has identified will destroy over 2 million jobs.
His concerns for more gun control was a contradiction at the Capitol,
which was properly awash with brave officers protecting everyone with
guns.
His distortion of voter photo identification laws clashes with the
requirement of visitor photo identification to enter the White House.
Security to prevent voter fraud and security to prevent assault on our
President are basic for democracy.
His professed opposition to ISIS terrorists is undermined by his
pardoning prisoners from Guantanamo who will rejoin terrorists to kill
American families using guns.
His devotion to Syrian refugees was sadly undermined by his failure
to enforce a red line, resulting in children fleeing violence drowning
at sea.
Finally, as I left the Capitol from the speech, I saw immediate
inconsistency of a fleet of stretch limousines waiting for the
President. As he attacked the oil and gas industry, he departed thanks
to fuel developed by the oil and gas industry.
The President should change course for limited government and
expanded freedom.
In conclusion, God bless our troops, and the President, by his
actions, should never forget September the 11th in the global war on
terrorism.
