Gutless wonders

I am beside myself with frustration.  As expected the Senate, thanks to the three RINOs, passed this "death to America" bill and it now goes to committee where it will probably inflate even further.  I'm angry, sad, fearful and frustrated that our country has come to this.  I expected Collins, Snow and Specter to show their true colors on this - they've never really been Republicans - but I was naive enough to hope that perhaps there were two Democrats or Independents  with enough courage to vote against what most of them must know is a horrible, dangerous bill with negative consequences that will likely outlive most of us.  If Congress maintains a Democrat majority in both houses after 2010 I think I'll be forced to give up all hope for the USA as I have known it.

Everything I suspected and feared about a B.O. presidency has proved to be well founded, but I have to admit I'm a bit stunned at how fast he made the hard left turn and with not much subterfuge.  Nothing in his actions backs up his contrived rhetoric which is aimed at the bewitched masses who buy into every word that glides off his tongue.  He is every bit as committed to the socialist ideology as his friend Bill Ayers is.  The difference is Bill Ayers is much more open about it.  He lectures and advocates for socialist ideas in our schools and is said to be a "respected college professor."

B.O. and Co. don't want the economic situation to improve too quickly - if at all.  They don't really want unemployment to drop or small businesses to succeed.  (By the way - about 80% of new jobs are created by small businesses.)  The more people that become dependent on the government for any and all reasons, the more democrat votes accrue.  It's been the same forever - point out the so-called problems, inequities, injustices, deficiencies and deprivations of the "poor and oppressed", make grandiose promises and feign conviction and compassion and you've got yourself a vote.  If any of the promises were ever kept and the poor became better educated, went to work, started feeling secure and hopeful - well, they'd probably vote Republican.  Reminds me of a joke about a guy who was down on his luck and got a visit from a couple of Baptist deacons wondering why they hadn't seen him at church.  He said he didn't have any decent clothes to wear and was ashamed to show up in the Lord's house in his threadbare, ill-fitting clothing.  The sympathetic deacons went out and got him a new suit, shirt, tie, shoes and socks and even took him to a barber for a haircut.  Sunday came and he didn't show up in church.  Another Sunday went by and he was a no-show again.  The deacons went to visit him again to find out just what was going on and this was what they heard:  "Well, sir - I fully intended to be there, but when I got my new duds on and looked in the mirror I looked so darn good I went to the Episcopal church."  The only real difference is, with B.O. it's no joke.
