Alright. I've slept on it, done a little early morning reading and I think I'm going to live. Just barely though. And may I just start by saying God Bless Joe Lieberman. That man may alone save our Republic. At least on the Democrat side. So the house bill passed with the support of 1 lone republican. A first termer named Anh "Joseph" Cao. He hails from New Orleans so I would just hope that there are enough people down there with the common sense to throw him out on his keaster. I know some of the followers of this blog are from La., you know what to do. The bill is now on it's way to the Senate where everything tells me that it will likely not pass. Joe Lieberman says he will stand with the Republicans and filibuster this thing to death. So let's all hope and pray that that happens.

I've come to the conclusion that we no longer live in a representative republic. Honestly I guess I've known it for a while but I never wanted to admit it to myself. As I wrote yesterday, the govt. heard us speaking about this over the last few month. They heard us speaking loudly, and getting into their faces at town hall rallies. They know we don't want this. Yet the do it anyway? Correct me if I'm wrong here but they are there to represent us right? I mean they are in the House of REPRESENTATIVES. They know what we want but they impose their laws upon us anyways. That is the textbook definition of a tyrannical dictatorship. Obama is using him minions to write laws that will take away our rights as Citizens, and our sovereignty as a Nation.

If the Senate passes this bill it will mean that along with the other bills passed in the last 11 months since Barry was elected, the U.S. govt. will have seized control of 48% of our economy.

Government seizure of 48% of the economy.

You know who else did that? Hugo Chavez, Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong Il, Adolf Hitler,...the list goes on but you get my point.

How have we allowed this to happen? 48% of our economy, gone. It happened because so many people are deathly afraid of the govt.. They see what happens when people try to make a stand. The FBI rolls in and busts down your door. The govt. will not be good stewards of the businesses it has seized. And our kids will be the ones who suffer.

I will leave you with this. Ever successive generation since our country was founded 233 years ago has enjoyed a better standard of living than the previous generation. If this bill passes the senate. That will end with this generation, and we will be left to explain to our kids why it is they don't have the same opportunities we had when we were young. This is not the America that we grew up in. This is not what the founders of our country intended. If America as it is currently known ceases to exist, just remember that there is nowhere else to go. We are the last bastion of freedom in the world.
