I have wanted to write so much over the last few months, but I just haven't had the time or the mental energy. Little by little, I have begun to feel that speaking out will no longer serve any purpose. I am usually at a loss for words these days, and I'm afraid that it may be too late to stop what is happening to this country.
Where do I begin?
- Government takeover of…everything…is well underway.
- Political opponents are being silenced (through non-violent means, so far).
- News agencies are under attack and are being threatened with losing their FCC licenses if they don’t tow the line.
- More and more radical FREAKS are being appointed to high-level positions: communists (all of Obama’s advisors, I think), anti-capitalists (new manufacturing czar), those who believe sex between a man and a boy is OK (new education czar), and on and on and on.
- Health care reform (takeover) is in the works, where we will actually be fined by the govt (in other words, taxed) for not buying health insurance. Can someone tell me how in the hell the govt has the authority to do that??? Nancy Pelosi sure can’t.
- Children in our schools are taught to sing the praise of a certain person, a savior for the new millennia, who will make everything OK. Which sounds eerily like North Korean children singing the praises of their “Dear Leader.” Because we all know how much he’s done for his flock.
- The dollar continues to tumble, while the govt prints more money and blames Bush for the deficit. Of course, under Bush the deficit was only one fourth what it is now, but it only had to grow because Bush was so evil that Obama had no choice but to make it bigger to combat all the evilness Bush brought to the country. Right? Let’s hear it for accountability.
- I’m sorry, I just have to come back to this one...you're going to FINE ME for not buying health insurance? And if I have it, you're going to TAX ME BECAUSE ITS TOO GOOD?? LIKE HELL!!! When the tax man comes to your door and demands payment of several thousand dollars for the “right” to keep your “Cadillac” health care, what will YOU do?
- The chief economic advisor at the White House says that all the benefit of the stimulus plan has already passed. Really. So let’s give them more money!
I’m forgetting volumes of other transgressions, power grabs and constitutional atrocities, I know. But my brain is simply fried at this point.
The latest blow to the senses comes in the form of Barney Frank and the Treasury working on a bill that will give govt the authority to seize private companies and dissolve them OUTSIDE of bankruptcy proceedings. So, essentially the govt can take over any company and do with it as it pleases.
But wait a minute, they would never do that, you say. People would cry out, you say.
But they already have. And no one said a word (except Fox News).
What do you think happened to Chrysler and GM? They were essentially taken over, the bankruptcy court was frozen out of the deal, the bondholders were screwed, and union cronies reaped the benefits. And no one said a word.
Now, Barney Frank wants the govt to have the authority to take over any company it deems too big to fail. Oh, they may start with financial companies. But will they really stop there?
No.
And it makes me sick. I am watching the death of my country, and I don’t know what to do about it. How long before the dollar, and the economy, collapse entirely? How long before the UN comes in to “stabilize” things? How long before we wake up one morning to find a blue flag flying over the Capitol?
How long until the greatest nation of the modern age passes into the history books?
How long before net neutrality and the Fairness Doctrine prevent me from saying what I believe anyway?
(…and the school kids sing, “Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama…”)
