Today, the big government liberals in the Senate passed the Trojan Horse Bill, otherwise known as the Emergency Pork Spending Bill or the Stimulus Bill. This Senate bill is different than the bill that passed the House. That means there will be a conference between the Senate and the House to iron out the differences. The new bill will most likely take the worst parts of both bills and call it good.
The official vote had all Democrats voting for the bill and three RINO’s voting with the Democrats. The three RINO’s were Specter (PA), the two Senators from Maine, Snowe and Collins. The three RINO’s voting with the Democrats will give Obama some cover when the bill falls flat on its face. He can claim that the bill was bipartisan in nature. That is not the truth at all, but Obama has not been restrained by the truth since he took office. He seems to have caught the same bug that Al Gore has.
At a Town Hall meeting today, Obama took questions from the audience. They were the usual Democrat whiners with no jobs or poor jobs. Obama told them that the bill would help them get whatever they desired. That was a bald faced lie, but since he said it with compassion it is so good.
The economy is too big and too varied to be controlled by government. The Democrats acted out of haste for two reasons. One, they wanted to act before the economy recovered on its own. And two, they wanted to push through their socialist agenda in one bill as an emergency measure. They were sure that nobody would read it, especially the liberal Republicans. People have read it and are hopping mad about the bill. Calls are 100-1 against the bill in Washington. The public opinion polls have only 37% support for the bill and that support is dropping rapidly. The only ones who support this bill will directly benefit from it. Everyone else opposes the bill because it does nothing to help America and lots to hurt America.
Obama has succeeded in fundamentally changing America from a free country into a socialist country in one fell swoop. Most people in the US do not realize it yet as the chains have not taken hold. When the chains are fully in place, people will howl with pain and the Democrats will laugh. By then they will have succeeded in putting 20-30 million new Democrat voters on the rolls by making the currently illegal immigrants, legal. This will insure that Democrats get elected far into the future. It will insure that America is no more. The America that our Founding Fathers fought and died for is gone when this bill is signed into law. My father and many generations before from the Revolution to WWII fought for the United States, to keep it free. In my generation, we gave it away to the socialists without as much as a whimper.
We are going to have to get used to the government telling us what to do and when to do it. If Obama manages to get re-elected, he will probably be President for life. He would probably suspend the Constitutional provisions on terms and even the length of terms to get what he wants. We would have a tyrant on our hands. If you have a gun, keep it in good working order. If you can get a gun, get one and learn how to use it. There may come a time to have an armed insurrection to claim our country back and it may happen in my lifetime. We have to teach our young people the importance of freedom and what it means. If enough understand, we may have a chance to claim our freedom back. The socialists will not want to give up their power and it will not be pretty or quick.
I listened to Michael Savage on the way home last night and he had a caller who was a retired Washington, D.C. policeman. The policeman’s opinion is that most of the people in the halls of power in Washington are corrupt. Michael Savage agreed with that assessment. I put in my second to the motion that most in Washington are corrupt. Michael Savage likened it to shoplifters now running the store. Something has to happen to break this chain of corruption. It has caused us to lose most of our freedoms. Let us hope that more people can see our loss of freedom and rise up together and stop this nonsense before it goes too far.
