Nightmare on K Street

 

I suppose it is only apropos that the nightmare on K Street begin on the eve of Halloween.   The Democrats, fulfilling a promise to destroy healthcare and bankrupt our nation, have come up with the most insidious legislation in the history of the Republic. 

Containing over 400,000 words in 1,990 pages, their healthcare bill doesn’t even use the word doctor.   It is page upon page of legal mumbo jumbo that Nancy Pelosi and her ilk have graciously agreed to post on the internet for all to read.   But you better read quick because they are planning a vote for next week! Considering that the Torah contains only 80,000 words and takes a typical synagogue congregation a year to read how do you suppose the Democrats will justify a vote in five days? Simple; they have no intention of reading the bill.  

The CBO is putting the cost of this bill, which by the way doesn’t even provide coverage for every American, at $1.05 TRILLION dollars!   Not a million, not a billion…but a trillion dollars.    To put this in perspective, the U.S. government in 2006 took in $1.04 trillion in TOTAL tax revenue.    Since then, taxes have gone up, so revenue has gone down which is a concept still foreign to liberals. 

This bill contains a tax increase and puts taxes on the path to reaching new highs not seen since the failed days of Jimmy Carter.   This will result in a tax upon every American who works because there is no other way to pay for this insidious piece of legislation that runs counter to everything that American stands for. Simply put, those who vote for this legislation should be brought up on charges of treason, because this type of generational theft is not only un-American but it is criminal. 

If I walked up to you, pointed a gun at your head and stole your wallet I would go to jail.   That is exactly what the government is doing, creating massive penalties for those who don’t play by the rules in this ponzi scheme that makes the crimes of Bernie Madoff seem like misdemeanors.  

Making matters worse, this bill was crafted in a closed door session involving one political party. So much for the bipartisanship promised during teleprompter laden campaign speeches.   What is occurring in Washington will be seen through the prism of history as tantamount to the rise of Marxism in the Soviet Union and Nazism in Germany.   It is a government that has overstepped its bounds and usurped the will of the people for its own political gain and power.

We have a chance to do something and we have one year to get prepared to do it.   Every person who votes for this bill needs to be removed from office.   Every person who does not openly voice dissent also needs to be removed from office.   Every two years we have the power to engage in a revolution at the ballot box and it is high time that we did just that.  

We need to kick those in Congress who have so little regard for the American people and Constitution to the curb and start over.   We need to take back the reins of government from those who seek to undo two hundred plus years of greatness.   It’s time for accountability to find its way inside the beltway and for this who have failed the American people, such as Nancy Pelosi and her ilk, to be called out for their insidious actions.

The Wretched Excesses of Liberalism

 

Leave it to USA Today, the only paper more seditious than the Treason Times, to run an op-ed by co-commie conspirators Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer calling those against socialized healthcare un-American. 

To be an American one must support the concept of economic freedom and individual liberty, the two key principles upon which our nation was founded. In addition, one must support the concepts of rugged individualism and self reliance, the qualities that came to define America and real Americans. Lastly, one must have an unbridled passion for the Bill of Rights, the ultimate key to our freedom. So just how do Pelosi, Hoyer and the rest of the Benedict Arnold Brigade stack up?

Well, they don’t want dissent. They have been using union thugs to squelch free speech at townhall meetings from coast to coast.   They are using their power and control to pass a so called Fairness Doctrine which is about as fair as the reporting on CNN.  Their agenda on free speech is so un-American that their idols Stalin, Lenin and Marx are beaming down from the heavens above. 

They are afraid of the people, which is a real problem in their minds.   Thomas Jefferson once said “when governments fear people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”   The government is tired of living in fear of us as evidenced by their mandate that we be quiet and take their medicine (no pun intended). Pelosi, Hoyer and the rest of the seditious left want us to live in fear of them.  
 
There is a very good reason that the liberals in America want to ban guns and it isn’t to reduce crime. We have thousands of gun laws on the books, yet liberals want to pass more laws intended to only allow murderers, rapists and illegal aliens to carry guns.   The reason; they don’t fear criminals, they coddle them. However, they fear you, me and every other hard working, God fearing, true American patriot. 

By supporting and promoting a ban on guns, they have taken the first step to banning dissent. Remember, the folks in Washington are all about power. They want to mandate what you can wear, what you can drive, what you can eat, the type of grocery bags you use, the type of fuel you buy, the color of your house and on and on and on. If I wanted that, I’d put my wife in a burqa, buy a cave and move in with the Taliban, who by the way aren’t subject to any of Pelosi’s mandates. 

Perhaps the scariest thing is the neo-McCarthyism being put forth by the current administration in their quest to silence free speech. This week they created a website where neighbors can snitch on neighbors who don’t support their anti-American concept of socialized medicine. This ranks right up with the fascism of Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, Mussolini, Castro, Pol Pot and Chavez as one of the greatest affronts in the history of free speech and expression. 

Newsflash to Pelosi, Hoyer and friends, the people who love America and the economic freedom and individual liberty that comes from being a true American aren’t un-American; you are. Anyone who is against free speech and the right to defend your life, liberty and property from criminals, be they felons or government employees (or both) is un-American. Any person who promotes communism over capitalism is un-American. Anyone who stands in the way of self reliance and rugged individualism is un-American. The question every true American should be asking is how to we take our country back from the wretched excess of liberalism gone mad?
