While You Watched Obama
This week the spotlight is on Obama’s ascendancy to the White House. The coverage, to say the least, is overwhelming. Most of the rhetoric revolves around how proud the mainstream media is to have a black president, and how lucky Americans are that it’s Obama.
The national polls indicate that the exuberance of over 70% of the citizens tilts between happy and thrilled to see him. That’s good. It’s probably safe to assume that the 30% who are less infatuated are those who bear about 95% of the tax burden.
The citizens who vote on issues, rather than the hue of a candidates’ skin, are watching the backdoor of Congress. Speaker Pelosi and Harry Reid are greasing the skids for the largest transfer of wealth ever recorded in the United States.
They aren’t breaking new ground. Stalin, Castro and Mao introduced the joys of socialism to billions of people. It worked out well for the political ruling class. The only losers were the property owners and the peasants. The latter learned too late that the government spigot dries up when the revenue generating class is crushed.
Comrade Pelosi has been a busy little socialist. Her finished version of the second phase of the bailout/stimulus package is neither a bailout, nor an economic stimulus. It’s $1.3 trillion of pork and earmarks which target pet projects and welfare.
Naturally, she wants personal and corporate income taxes, as well as, capital gains raised to reduce the deficit her spending fling will propel into the stratosphere.
Expect Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Chuck Schumer and Ted Kennedy to brush aside questions about the consequences. These are the guys that lied about the financial health of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and refused to admit that Social Security and Medicare are fiscal time bombs.
Pelosi and her comrades were unhappy that the few remaining capitalists in Congress could stop their assault on the taxpayers and the Constitution, by using the one hundred year old House rule, referred to as the “motion to recommit.”
The rule forces the House members to vote separately on legislation buried in unrelated bills. Were it not for this parliamentary procedure, government publications could not mention God, the right of private gun ownership would have disappeared, unabridged amnesty for illegal aliens and multiple tax increases would already be law.
The Republicans thwarted these Democratic initiatives in the last 24 months with the “motion to recommit.”
Comrade Pelosi found a solution. She suspended the rule on the first day of the new Congress. Now the Democrats can pass their agenda without having to show their colors. In effect, they can pass bills with zero regard for voter backlash because tyrannical legislation can be hidden in footnotes.
Does anyone doubt that Pelosi will scramble to pass the Fairness Doctrine, which will legally silence political descent? The pandering mainstream media has her back covered. The suspension of the “motion to recommit” and the institution of the Fairness Doctrine will open the gates to a reign of terror.
And their sits that little weasel, Senator Harry Reid, ready to shove amnesty for every illegal alien down the throats of Americans, with Obama’s blessing.
The inaugural festivities were a distraction. Now let’s hope the 90% of employed Americans and the 95% of Americans making their mortgage payments aren’t betrayed by Congress and Obama. It doesn’t look hopeful.
