Haven’t you all figured it out by now? It’s been six months of Groundhog Day with a twist: everyday we wake up to some new piece of jaw-dropping news regarding the short-term tactics and/or long term strategies of this Administration with all having one objective in common.
There have been strategies like
- The Stimulus—ballooning the national debt to ten trillion dollars.
- Cap and Trade—making it more expensive for energy companies to use coal, which, in turn, will make it more expensive for individuals to use energy;
and tactics such as the
- Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to ignore the New Black Panther voter-intimidation case, reminiscent of the bad old days but with the players reversed.
- President Obama’s decision to insert himself in
And the last two examples have occurred in only the past few weeks. President Barack Obama’s January 20, 2009 Inauguration found an America that was financially staggered by a slow-acting congressionally-induced poison called the Community Reinvestment Act and, since that date, the Democrat president, the Democrat-controlled U.S. Senate and Democrat-controlled House of Representatives have done everything in their power—and some things far outside of their scope of power--to slip America its death blow.
Oh, you don’t believe that? You think that I’m talking out my nether regions, right? After all, why would anyone hate this country enough to want to destroy it—especially those who are in charge of running it?
This is why. It is obvious that the Left hates freedom and the choices inherent in the concept of freedom—the freedom to chronically lose.
As I’ve said before (heh), losers cannot behave like winners even when they win. They still covet those God-given blessings with which winners are endowed and still must make winners pay for ever having won—for there being such concepts as ‘winning’ and ‘losing’ in the first place. For such people—for President Obama--the God-blessed
I receive an email yesterday from the president’s old campaign site, the title being “This is the Moment.” (Hmm, is there an echo in here?) It is President Obama’s moment indeed: to see if the will of the people can be overridden and if direct access to a blood vessel of the American economy can be opened up by government; direct and legislated access to your money and mine, direct access to our very lives—in order to bleed us.
And if the we the people resist being jacked by the government, if we speak out, we will be ignored first (April 15 and July 4 Tea Parties), then ridiculed with particularly crude sexual references, then demonized. Then come the threats. What will come after that?
Know this: this government wants to control everything about the lives of all American citizens. All of us. And it has set forth the means to do this in all of the legislation that has come before the Senate and the House in this session. (I’m guessing that many of these schemes had long been composed while the authors waited for the right climate to dust them off.) The HealthCare/Health Insurance “Reform”— ObamaCare--is the crowning jewel of government-sanction larceny, however. That’s why the president and his allies in the legislative branch are trying to get it done so fast.
But too many American citizens are objecting to having their pockets picked for this government’s taste. All over the country, people are very vocally objecting to—and even laughing derisively at-- proposed thievery and government-sanctioned tyranny and doing so via more Tea Parties and in Townhall meetings in the face of their shocked Democrat congressional representation and at least one executive branch honcho, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
How dare the serfs not hand over our money and our lives without backtalk!
And, as a result of the vocal assertion of the First Amendment Right to redress the government for grievances, the government has taken its most chilling step yet—at least for today. The White House has created a special informant email address: flag-at-whitehouse-dot-com. About whom are correspondents to inform? Why, about all those who publicly oppose government-run health care and who transmit oppositional information via email or via blogs--which covers almost all Republicans and, judging from the polls and from some videos of townhall meetings, not a few Democrats. See, many of the latter draw the line at their own pockets as well.
I guess what I’m wondering is this: what is the White House going to do with all of the information it gathers from the informants?
What comes next?

ANOTHER DOSE OF POISON: Toxic.
The Obama administration is considering an overhaul of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that would strip billions in bad loans and create a new home-loan organization, according to a report from the Washington Post.
Government officials told the Post that the firms' bad debt would be given to new government financial institutions that would then be responsible for collecting on the debts.
It's the Community Reinvestment Act Revisited. If you're not convinced that Barack Obama is trying to destroy the US economy, you will be. Here's hoping that it isn't too late.
