government control

We’re rapidly getting to the point where everybody is going to have to decide whether to live as free men or exist as slaves to an all-powerful statist elite who, by force of arms or other coercion, control every aspect of our lives. Liberty isn’t cheap and it’s for damn sure freedom is anything but free.

Just stop and think about the government tentacles in your own lives. You can’t do virtually anything any more without somebody having something to say about it. That somebody, these days, is likely to be some local governmental representative waving some obscure permitting requirement or trying to cite you for pruning your own trees.

They are not educating our children… they are indoctrinating them. Our Government Indoctrination Centers are predating them by forcing them to be exposed to a lifestyle and its attendant practices that about 80% of the public find repugnant and many find immoral. Much of what they are teaching is garbage, with little or no academic value. The education system is rife with political correctness and the curriculum is often aimed at the lowest common denominator.

If you’re in business you know all about government. You know all about its mindless regulations, its endless red tape… layer upon layer of bureaucracy, from the local city halls and state house, to the gargantuan monster that is our federal government.

We see the worst housing industry since the depression, coupled to the worst job market since the great depression. The private sector generated a paltry 38,000 jobs last month… our growth is somewhere south of 1.5%. There are huge numbers of homes still going into default, and they’re not all marginal Barney Frank garbage loans either. There are people in heavily upside-down prime and jumbo loans who have just given up and walked away. Not a lightweight decision, since it absolutely destroys your credit for a minimum of seven years and maybe longer. It just highlights what a desperate situation people are finding themselves in.

I work in an industry which is only on the periphery of the foreclosure market, but I can tell you that there are a huge number of houses being held off the market by banks who don’t want the bad paper to show on their inventories yet. They’ve been releasing them for rehab and sale at bargain basement prices a few at a time.

Is this what you want for your kids? Is this what you’re willing to be satisfied with for yourself? This is what it’s coming to. You have to stand up and fight for freedom. Fortunately, in the civil society we can usually do this through discourse. I said ‘usually’. It’s when government becomes, as in America today, totally unresponsive to the will of its people and even the most very basic of its own laws, it’s time for you and I to take action. 2012 is right around the corner.

Y'know, there's a little mantra that exists about relationships, whispered between friends when they discuss their loves, their interests, their sex, whatever:

They're trying to control you.

You need out, man. You can't let her boss you around like that. You need to do what you want, when you want. You're in control of yo-sef. 

Girl, he's mistreatin' you again? And you're still with him? Don't you see he's got some kind of mind-control on you? The sex can't be that hot. He's tryin' to control you! 

Freedom, right? 

What "choice" have we predominately heard about when it comes to healthcare? Doctor choice? Clinic choice? Shot choice? No, pro-choice abortion. Ok? Your choice of deciding whether to have someone stick a probe up your uterus, suck your baby into a sink, or maybe syringe some saline solution to burn the baby out. If you're a guy, then it would apply to your choice of having your progeny decimated, it's brains squished and bloody body mangled enough to be poured into the same test tube you might use for donating your semen. Yeah, it's bad. Fight to keep your child alive.. or keep your boys safe to begin with. 

But, "choice." Because that "control" -- mind-control, sex control, intimidation control, whatever -- didn't allow you to choose to keep your legs shut or your penis in your pants in the first place. Because you didn't have a choice before conception, only after. 

Now it's come to light that someone actually admits that Obama's healthcare legislation is what conservatives knew all along: Control. Control over your medical choices.  Control over your medical decisions, what proponents of pro-choice  have argued against for decades: control over your body. 

A talk show host alludes to Democratic Representative Dingell:  if it's an emergency, if 18,000 people keep dying as a result of non-coverage, as dems proclaim, why are we waiting to implement socialized healthcare? Why over the course of years? Why not NOW? 

Dingell's response: we're not ready to control the people.

Oh, no. You're wrong, you say. They're not controlling our decisions. We can still choose our insurance and stuff. 

Nope. Guess who controls the insurance companies now. 

To you, I say this: leave him, honey. He isn't any good for you. If you think he's okay because he buys you trinkets, offers you a job, buys your dinner or pays your rent, it's all about control. Divorce yourself from the Progressive Movement and ditch Obama. 

Neither offer you your freedom.

Weren't the Dems the ones shocked and appalled by George W. Bush's Patriot Act?

This morning, I read an article about a bill currently proposed in the U.S. Senate that will grant "temporary" access to the president over private home internet usage during a so-called, "cyber security emergency."  

So, when the President wanted to grant warrantless wire taps to gain information on possible terrorists after an actual national terrorist attack occurred on American soil, it was a travesty to tap phones?  But a cyber-security emergency, now that requires spying on Americans?

Let's be real:  This is a sad attempt by the liberal movement to silence the opposition.  Hundreds of thousands of Americans are genuinely frightened by the slippery slope the current health-care reform will lead this country into, and Obama's minions are trying to pass it in any way possible. 

Change? I think not..
