I don’t know if I can find the words to express my disappointment in the House of Representatives, and I’m especially disgusted with the eight so-called Republicans who voted for the America Cleaned Out with No Energy and Security Act of 2009. My 11-year-old nephew asked me why the president wanted to pass higher costs on to businesses at a time like this. I just shrugged my shoulders and gave him the best answer I could think of. “Because he’s an idiot, Jimmy.”
I read today that Henry Nostrils had compromised the bill in so many ways in order to get it passed that it really wouldn’t be that effective anyway. Also, I read, and I hope it’s true, that the Senate gives this bill no chance of passing. It is humorous to see how the Democrats are congratulating themselves on pulling off the biggest con job we’ve ever had pulled on us, and are now rubbing their hands together getting geared up to do the same thing with Nationalized Health Insurance, and M*A*S*H-style health care. The House of Representatives should change their name to the Central Committee because by the time they get done we will no longer be a Republic; we’ll be a communist government with our social and business activities controlled by Chairman Obama and his lap-dog, Nancy Pelosi.
The sad part is we did it to ourselves. We voted for these balloon-heads in the House who, in my estimation, have no clue that they are taking America on the fast track to communism. I seriously doubt that very many of them ever have a thought of their own, and if they did, they are told to stifle it, or else by a sewing needle-wielding Nancy Pelosi. How can a Representative NOT know that this whole circus was a power grab? How can they delude themselves into thinking they were voting to save the planet? It boggles my mind. What the hell are they thinking? Do they really believe that by shutting down all but the most essential businesses, by forcing all of us to drive electric carts, or by urging us to ride bicycles, or make us take the eco-friendly train, that they can effectively change the frikken climate? Other up-and-coming industrial countries like India and China are laughing their @$$es off and have already made it clear that they have no intention of putting such a ridiculous burden their businesses people. But that’s okay, because if we Americans stop polluting, we’ll save the earth. Even Jimmy knows this is, in his words, “retarded.”
When they succeed in killing the American spirit — and they will because they NEVER give up — we will no longer be able to start up a business of our own because the costs and the regulations would be prohibitive. If you are “lucky” enough to save your business, you’ll be told what and how much you can produce, or to whom and how much you will charge for services. The rest will be forced to work in mind-numbing government jobs, and I do mean forced, because there will be very little money for those who are idle. And because no one will be able to afford a home (unless you are part of the ruling class) you’ll be forced to live in government high rises — as soon as someone dies and that apartment becomes available. Of course, I don’t need to mention the long lines at your local M*A*S*H tent. I see a very bleak future for my country and all because too many people are willing to give up their freedoms for a false security. Communism never has produced what it promises, simply because it can’t.
The year 2010 will make or break us. Although I am very disappointed today, and my outlook for the short term is pretty crappy, I can envision an epic landslide for the Republicans in the House of Representatives. Let’s hope and pray that my vision comes true.
