Beware the Ides of March

So Obama has finally done it: revealed himself for the Anti-American soothsayer he is. He wrote a newspaper 'op-ed' titled 'The Action America Needs.'

...the NBC article title is... [UPDATE: NBC article at that link has changed! Bias has struck again! Article, from what I can see, is not about Obama's negative tone...it's about his plan...how gimp is that?]

I see that the catchphrase has changed to 'action' now.

Well anyway, in this piece he wrote, "This recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits. Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse," adding later, "I reject these theories, and so did the American people when they went to the polls in November and voted resoundingly for change." (Oops, guess the catchphrase is still the same)

[UPDATE: Pelosi came to the glass side of the doomsday sewage pool to say...twice...in front of cameras... "Every month that we do not have an economic recovery package 500 million Americans lose their jobs." -click for video- Strangely, the media hasnt said a thing. If the public schools failed you , or you have been out of school long enough, America's population is about 300million (305,758,091 according to the Census Bureau's estimate clock when this was updated).]

Seriously, though, who does that??? We'll soon be asked to do with less: to fill up our tires when gas prices climb up in the summer, to turn our heat down next winter, to accept greater government involvement in the lives of the people, to understand when inflation causes runaway living costs, and myriad other things that you need only use the dark side of your imagination for. This is the result of 'trust me' government and has been since the time of the Puritans. It's high time each of us gets out there and talks to 1 or 2 people about our beliefs and policy options.

Tell them that destitution is not liberty, limitation is not freedom: we do not want government telling people what they can get paid. Tell them that we believe that destitution should not follow unemployment by means of old age, that the government needs to give up its process of deliberate and planned inflation so a dollar will be a dollar's worth and not a handful of change. Get the message out that all freedom is intertwined: that if we give up our so-called 'economic' freedoms for economic security, we will have embarked on a downward course. Tell your friends that Obama's soothsaying and government control sets a precedent for controlling your wages and where you work; after all, he's doing it to corporate executives who spend much more than our incomes on legal defense, what's stopping him from doing it to us? Tell them that we arent too egotistical to consider the mistakes of the past. Get the word out that We the People, we of this breed called Americans, deserve much, much better than the Democratic Party leadership, both in Congress and the White House, who bear the full personal, political, and moral responsibility for this crisis that threatens to shatter the lives of millions of our people. Lastly, tell them that Republicans will be conservative again...

Let us stand united, and in 2010 and 2012, build a house Ronald Reagan would be proud of. From our new castle, let us wake up and show them we are strong.
