Congress is out of control. I’m coming to the point where I believe that we have more to fear from them than from President Obama. It appears as if the characters in Congress are using the young President as a front man to hustle their dangerous agenda. We know how persuasive he is with a script, and the evil twins Pelosi and Reid are using him as their shill.
Obama’s ample oratory skills seem to be constantly on display. He certainly isn’t bashful about addressing groups: Governors, mayors, the local VFW, wherever he can preach his stimulus sermon. In fact, he is dumping so much information on Americans that they are starting to suffer from information overload. I’m concerned that soon the majority of our citizens will become incapable of tracking all that Congress is doing, and finally cease to care. That is when the Liberals will have their way with us. What does the Democratically controlled Congress have in mind for America after we no longer have the energy or will to resist? Here are a few gems to start with: Another $410 billion in spending for the remainder of this fiscal year alone. The ink isn’t even dry on the $700+ billion stimulus package and already Congress is back with their hands out for more.
They want to give Washington DC a House Representative in Congress. It’s unconstitutional, since DC is not a state. They tried it as a constitutional amendment several years back, but couldn’t get the states to ratify it. This time the Dems intend to push it through using the “special powers of Congress” provision. Given the socio-economic make up of DC, the Libs will have a lock on representation from that area. Once it is done, most political scholars say it will be impossible to undo.
Now that they have their man in the oval office, the Democrats want to be able to keep him there for some time to come. To accommodate that, they are proposing the repeal of the 22nd amendment, thereby eliminating the two term limitation for Presidents. The pursuit of positive political change should not include dumping things that have been working fine for years.
Reinstatement of the “Fairness Doctrine”, which this time around will be on steroids. All indications are that if the Democrats have their way, Government will overtly and covertly start to control what you can see and hear not only on the radio, but also television and if they can pull it off, the Internet. Government control of the media is one of the most dangerous things that can happen to a society, and it should scare the bejeebers out of any intelligent, thinking American.
I love to listen to Obama give a speech. He is truly a gifted orator, and sometimes when my mind wanders, I almost believe he can accomplish all he claims. But then I come to my senses and realize that he still hasn’t articulated how we are going to pay for all the "feel good” programs, other than taxing the crap out of the top 2% of income earners in this Country, (at least until they pack their bags and take their money to Mexico). So keep in mind, that while the President talks and explains his plans for change we can believe in, the real dirty work is being done at the Congressional level, where the Democratic majority plans to affect change that they can believe in.
