Fear We Can Believe In

Has anyone else felt the warm tingle of inspiration crawl up their leg while listening to Obama pontificate this past week?
“If we don’t act immediately, our nation will sink into a crisis that, at some point, we may be unable to reverse.” Fear we can believe in.
Obama likes to use words like “unprecedented” to describe the dire state of the economy; however, he rarely explains WHY this is unprecedented. In fact, many of us know that the economic indicators of 1982 dwarf anything we are dealing with now…things may get worse…yes….but at this point, it is irresponsible and alarmist to scare us into submission. At the heart of this malfeasance is a 800 billion dollar “stimulus” bill, which seeks to steer the economy back on track by providing an Eco-park for South Florida, a Frisbee Golf Course for Austin (great for Joe), and glow in the dark condoms for our school children. This is URGENT!!! No discussion required…..

Fear mongering at its very worst.

The Democrats have been fawning over these particular spending projects for years, and you know the scariest part?..... It’s the fact that through spending OUR money, they are securing Democratic votes from the constituencies that have been “Gerrymandered” or shrewdly selected to receive OUR money. Maybe this guy really IS brilliant!! An exercise in gluttony… that’s the only way to describe the impatience of the Democratic machine when shoving these pet projects into the "stimulus" bill. It’s reminiscent of the scene in “Old Yeller” where he is viciously attacked by the rabid wild boars….only they are far more attractive than Ms. Pelosi!

Have they overplayed their hand?? Maybe. But, they are cementing future votes for The Democratic Party. Once implemented, many of the proposed initiatives will set the framework for socialist objectives, such as Universal Healthcare. We are all aware that once these programs are implemented, they will NEVER be cut or pared down. Too many people will become immediately dependant upon them and on those that put them in place. Hmm….more votes?? And a broader mandate for more social engineering or puppeteering???

"The American Republic will endure until the day
Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's
money." — Alexis de Tocqueville

Obama should have worked with his advisors to create a bill that would appeal to the moderate elements of congress….this would have indicated “bipartisanship”, which is one of the many phrases we heard to the point of ad nauseaum during his campaign. The core of his empty rhetoric. But instead, our “post-partisan” president placed the responsibility for creating the largest spending bill in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD into the hands of a sharp elbowed, partisan monster by the name of Nancy Pelosi. This indicates either weakness, naivety, or an extremist ideology on the part of Obama….I suspect all of the above. Obama is demostrating bipartisanship, just so long as you agree with EVERYTHING he says.

Most economists agree that we'll crawl out of this thing in roughly 18 months, regardless of the effects of the stimulus....guess who's going to take the credit?


But in the meantime, let’s all revel in the rebirth of "Camelot" and please don’t question Mr. Obama. In fact, he seems to have managed the press corps quite effectively by screening and pre-selecting questions…would hate to have some meddling journalist “rock the boat” by asking a relevant question…especially in such an “unprecedented” time! Watching this man “brilliantly” slide through the news conference without ONE follow-up question. Since when have evasiveness and crafty speaking skills become a revered trait in American culture? We don’t need a hustler, we need a leader.

In conclusion, this has been a rough week for those of us who love our country; however, it is not a surprise…the fact that this is happening so quickly is disconcerting, but BHO emerged with a black eye and many questions have arisen surrounding his incompetent vetting process, empty promises, and detachment from an earth shattering social engineering bill. Just as we have witnessed a housing bubble cave in, due to a fake equilibrium bound tight by kite strings and bleeding hearts, we will soon watch BHO’s bubble implode. The fires of false expectations and delusion are usually put out by the hose of reality.

Just be patient…..
