Are we having fun yet?

Well it's going on two months into the Obama administration with total democrat control of the government and time to ask... are we having fun YET? Permit me to quickly enumerate a few of the highlights of the merriment so far.

• In the 1st 50 days of the new administration the democrats managed to pass spending legislation with a dollar total more than has been spent since George Washington took office.
• Queen Nancy Pelosi unilaterally repealed all of the rules which were put into place by the Republicans (when they were in power in the congress) which protected the rights of the minority party with regard to having a voice in the legislative process.
  
• The Vice President met with union bosses behind closed doors down in Florida two weeks ago and, basically, promised them whatever they wanted. What might that be? First of all "card check" which eliminates the secret ballot for Union Elections. Thus the Union thugs will know who didn't vote for unionization and can bully them. Second - Government employees unions (there are many) proposed that ALL of our 401k's be taken over to form a new American Retirement Fund. Note... like social security "your" 401k cannot be transferred to anyone else... it's only for you and only for retirement.
  
• Government officials have been installed in senior positions at all companies and banks who took any of the federal "bail out" money. This, in a sense, is the 1st step toward nationalization. (See the communist manifesto)
  
• After knowing about the proposed AIG bonus checks for over a year, and after Sen Chris Dodd inserted wording into legislation to permit those bonuses, suddenly Washington is "shocked" to discover the 165 million bonus plan. (Remember when the democrats told that the $727 Billion in earmarks was so small that "the American people didn't care.") Why then the upset and indignation over this chump change which, by the way, is a contractual obligation and must be paid.

Those are just a few of the highlights, folks. From one end of government to the other socialism is on the march and multiple hands are reaching for your wallet. There are proposals out there to pass a "floating tax" on gasoline so that the basement price to the consumer is set at $4.

Some governors are saying that they don't want any "stimulus" money which is outraging the Senate and Congress. They are planning legislation to force states to take the money! Now why would they do that? Two words... Social Programs.

You see it's not just a check to the states with no strings... Ohhhh no! There are LOTS of strings and the majority of those strings mandate that states enact various social programs with the money. Good so far, right? Social programs need offices and staffs so there are construction jobs and hiring of people... still a nice thing, right?

All we need now is to find or create a group of victims to serve! Still good.... right? Now then... two years passes and POOF! All that federal money runs out and no more is coming for all these programs. Do you honestly think when that happens they are just going to close the doors and call it quits? NOPE! What has to happen then is the cost of all those programs... which the states didn't want to start in the first place.... now transfers TO those states... and they now have to come up with the money to fund them.

What else have we seen to make us think we're having fun? How about that phony circus of berating automobile executives for arriving in Washington DC, after being ordered to do so by congress, in corporate jets. So after shaking her indigent finger at the auto exec's... Queen Pelosi jumps on HER Private 757 for a flight home. Double standard anyone?

Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.... the two people most responsible for the financial meltdown by being "in bed" (literally in Mr. Frank's case) with the folks running (ruining?) Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac. Both had the audacity to blame President Bush for the crisis! What freaking alternate reality are those two living in?

In 2008 alone the Bush administration tried 17 times to investigate and reform both federal housing agencies. All attempts were blocked by Frank and Dodd. I could list ALL of the Bush administration attempts to reform this GSE (Government Sponsored Enterprise) but it's easier if you just read them yourselves.

Wasn't that enlightening? The financial crisis is all Bush's fault, huh? Seems like the only folks trying like hell to avoid the mess were Bush's people! Democrats were blocking it at every turn and bad mouthing the President as they did. What hypocrites!

Might want to step outside and take a good look around... perhaps a few pictures too. If the democrats in power now have their way... and sooner or later they will because they never stop hating freedom and America.... the country you grew up knowing and loving is a thing of the past. Get ready to have your taxes raised at all levels to pay for the pork and nanny state government interventions. Get ready for rationed health care. Make a place at your corporate table for your local Union thug. Watch as the left rewrites the history of the last administration while glossing over or totally ignoring all the gaffs and outright blunders made by the current administration.

Also... pay close attention to the minorities.... the blacks whose numbers swelled at the polls and elected Obama knowing that he was going to save them all and give them everything the democrats have been promising for the last 60 years. Watch what happens when they figure out they have been collectively played for fools.

All this is both sad and predictable. Obama is, after all, both a liberal and a democrat. His record in the senate was the second most liberal there... even to the left of John Kerry! (who served in Vietnam by the way) That Obama would govern as an ultra liberal should be no surprise to anyone who was paying attention. And for those of you who were paying attention you'll remember that Obama said we was going to remake America.... NOT reform it or return it to it's previous glory. (which would have been the Reagan years!)

The sad part is that the election of Obama was an historical landmark in our nations history. Never mind that he refuses to this day to present proof that he's even eligible to hold the office his election is historic none the less. He could have capitalized on that fact and done great things. Instead once he took office he blew the right rudder off the ship of state and has been taking us on a big left turn every since.

This is NOT a liberal or left wing nation! Far from it. While the main stream media refuses to give it any coverage (see the communist manifesto) there are demonstrations and "tea parties" taking place from sea to shining sea. The constitution specifically gives to the people the absolute right to "throw off" any form of government which they feel has become too powerful and too oppressive. Obama may very well make history twice... once by being the first black elected president... and again by being the first president forcibly removed from office. The American people will only take so much before they take action.
