Liberals in Congress are apparently working to pass new taxes to combat obesity. Go figure, the same group that created the entitlement class with food stamps, welfare checks and free satellite TV to watch reruns of Jerry Springer now wants to tax the very constitutents who put them in office.   Are they afraid that the folks from whom they routinely purchase votes will get so fat and lazy that they won’t be able to make it to the voting booth? Maybe they should give them free scooters from the Scooter Store!

According to recent reports, the CDC is working closely with Congressional liberals to push through a three cent tax on soda. Seriously, do they really thing three cents is going to have any impact on obesity in America. My guess is that this move is part of a bigger ploy to further take over greater aspects of our lives. 

Liberals created the insidously un-American concept of political correctness to control what we say. They are pushing laws to ban our right to defend our homes and families from criminals.   The Fairness Doctrine is being pushed as a way to silence dissent on talk radio.   They now own our banks and our auto makers. They soon will tell us what doctor we can see; when, where and how often.   Now they want to tell us what we can eat. Imagine another four years of Obama’s hope and change:

Pizza Guy: Thank you for calling Papa John’s, can I have your phone number?

You: 555-1212

Pizza Guy: What can I get for you tonight?

You: I’ll have two large pizzas, one with the works and the other with pepperoni.

Pizza Guy: Sorry, according to the CDC records you have high cholesterol. How about a salad.

You: No, I really want a pizza. 

Pizza Guy: No can do, the government says you are too fat. I am only authorized to sell you a salad.

You: Fine, I’ll just call Domino’s.

Pizza Guy: You can’t do that. It’s now in the system that you attempted to order fatty foods and if you try again you could be arrested by the food police.

What truly is amazing are the sheeple who can’t see through this charade, where Stalin and Marx have been reincarnated in the form of the Obamamessiah who seemingly walks on water to the dumb and ignorant in our midst. At any other time in history the actions we are seeing in Washington would have resulted in an all out revolt by the people. Then again, what we are witnessing is the result of 200 years of government using education as a tool to indoctrinate the masses.

Welcome to 2009 and a call from liberals to raise the gas tax by 50%.   State and federal governments already receive as much as seventy cents on the gallon, compared to a paltry eight cent profit seen by Big Oil, perpetually in government’s cross hairs for their purported excess profits. 

The federal tax alone is eighteen cents, with the remainder of what can only be described as legalized thievery coming from the states.   Now the feds are seeking to impose another ten to twelve cent increase, with recommendations that states do the same.  

Leave it to some unaccountable bureaucrats in Washington to see taxation as the only solution to decreased revenues coming on the heels of decreased driving that began with gas approached five bucks a gallon this past summer, which was largely due to decreased supply as the result of failure liberal policies that limits domestic oil exploration and production. 

Rather than looking to steal more from Americans, already struggling in difficult economic times, caused by liberal abuses of power such as the Community Reinvestment Act and corruption at Fannie and Freddie, how about giving us some real solutions. 

If more money is needed for roads, then find it elsewhere. How much cash is being used to subsidize education, healthcare and welfare for illegal aliens? How much of the ill gotten gains of government is being used for bridges to nowhere or union bailouts? The waste of government is endless, yet rather than fix what they have created they seek to steal more from us? 

It’s utterly amazing that they are doing exactly what we would go to jail for.   If we were to demand money from another under the threat of a loss of life or liberty, we would be held accountable.   Yet government remains immune, having a pass to seize as much of OUR money as they see fit from OUR pocketbooks and if we object, they will punish us with a loss of freedom and liberty.

Way back when some folks got a little upset about this type of abuse, which was far less egregious than what we are witnessing today.   Tea was dumped in the Boston Harbor, muskets were procured and a few folks like Adams, Washington, Jefferson and Franklin brought about change. Not the kind of change being promised by the chosen one, which really is just proving to be more of the same, but real change that we could count on. Well, at least we could count on it until liberals got into power.  Maybe a more sensible approach to getting more funds into the government coffers would be to sell liberals, instead of arms, to our enemies abroad. Now there’s some change I could live with.

The New Mexico Sun is the first paper in America to declare “Obama Wins” as its headline.   There is no doubt that this will be the headline for a number of newspapers next week. Even if McCain wins, we should fully expect the mainstream media to declare Obama the de facto winner.  

So how will the liberal establishment react if the Chosen One fails to close the deal next Tuesday?   While many polls have him ahead, none have him at 50%.   In fact, most of the reputable polls show a full 10% of voters remain undecided.   Imagine the fallout if the majority of those people wake up in the next week and pull the lever for McCain.  

First, you can expect the media to declare our nation to be inherently racist.   After all, that is the only explanation for our nation not electing a black president.   Of course, it could be that he is a tax and spend, anti-freedom Marxist with ties to radical Islam, unrepentant terrorists and racist reverends but the Treason Times, CNN and the rest will just gloss over that. 

Second, you can expect our cities to burn.   Urban residents from Detroit to Compton will set buildings and cars ablaze to protest how their messiah has been dissed.   Arguably the only upside of an Obama election is that it would finally put race warlords such as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson out of business. A loss will leave these racist blowhards with a window of opportunity to purvey their hatred. 

Third, the election will be contested unless every fraudulent ballot from ACORN is counted.   You can bet that states like Ohio and Florida will be in the crosshairs as liberals seek to use judicial activists to declare a victory. 

Anyone dissecting the poll numbers should realize that there is a trend emerging that has to be disturbing to the Obama campaign. The polling conducted typically involves anywhere from 10-20% more Democrats than Republicans.   While this is based on actual voter registration, those pollsters are forgetting that Republicans show up in higher numbers to vote.   Even with the black population that always votes Democrat anyway, this may be an inherent error that is skewing the results in Obama’s favor. 

What will the undecided do on Election Day?   The truth is nobody knows.   The solace is that these people are typically not young or dumb. Rather, they are the uninformed who are seeking to get informed. They have legitimate concerns about Barack Obama’s character and his ability to lead.   They don’t like George Bush and perhaps are turned off by the Republican brand.   But what is worse, holding your nose and voting for McCain or taking a gamble on destroying our nation by voting for an untested, inexperienced community organizer who isn’t fit to be a Wal-Mart greeter let alone Commander in Chief.
