You know, I try to live my life without being concerned about what my government is doing. I so want to live in peace. Unfortunately, the government isn’t letting me. Nor is the government letting you live in peace.
Mr. Obama said he was going to change things, a transparent government, bipartisanship, honesty, and integrity, and he would get spending under control. Do you realize he has done exactly the opposite of what he campaigned on?
I love my country, and I am sure you do too. Some of us see things very differently. Some of you are okay with the United States moving away from a constitutional government to a centralized government. A centralized government cannot be a constitutional government; the two are not mutually compatible.
In a constitutional government, power resides with the people. We are the kings and queens. In a centralized government, power resides within the government. The government serves us, and in order to serve us, it needs to control us because we are incapable of taking care of ourselves.
Just look around you. You cannot smoke in a bar anymore. You cannot ride a bicycle without a helmet. You are so stupid that food companies have to put labels on everything, and in a little while, restaurants will be forced to post the same in their menus. You cannot provide for yourself so Uncle Sam has to do it for you. You’re a drug addict so Uncle Sam provides dope and needles for you. You cannot pay your mortgage because you were a fool so Uncle Sam is going to do it for you.
Be prepared for the Secret Energy Police to come to your home at will, enter it, and search it for energy inefficiencies. Yes, you read that right. It is part of the plan. Your constitution protects you from illegal search and seizure, but under this new law, energy police can invade your home at will under the guise of energy inspectors search for inefficacies. Oh, but wait, they see something on your table, and thus you are arrested for another crime. This my friends is big brother conducting illegal searches of your home.
Currently, there is a bill going through the Oregon legislature that will prohibit the purchase of aftermarket car parts. That means you will not be able to modify your vehicle in any way shape or form. God forbid you may increase your drag coefficient and burn one extra ounce of fuel because of the modifications.
Soon, as postulated by one of Obama’s cabinet picks, old people just need to die and save the money for procedures on young people. So, yea, welcome to the new world. Old people need to just give up the ghost and die. What about the infirmed that may only squeeze out a few years compared to a young healthy person who may increase their life substantially. Perhaps those people should just be allowed to die as well, for the sake of efficiency.
Oh wait…the environmental whackos are now putting forth population control. Yes, your government will now dictate to you that you can only have two children, not 2.5, just two. That is fine and dandy, but when that doesn’t work, it will be reduced to just one child. Really none of this matters, because the bottom line, your government is controlling every aspect of your life. Yes, true American Freedom. You have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, at least as much of it as your government will allow you to have.
I’ve grown hateful. I live in a country of ingrates, that is, people who have never sacrificed a thing. People who have drank large quantities of beer, smoked acres of marijuana, kicked back, and took trips on LSD with the most significant thing in their lives being protests. These wonderful whiny little snots now what to dictate to us what we can and cannot do, what we can and cannot drive, and what we can and cannot do with our own money. They want to convert America into a neo socialist/commune, abandoning the very core principles that they have so richly profited from and enjoyed and that has allowed them to thrive to the point of getting one of the most fascist liberals elected to do their bidding. And we are supposed to sit back and just let them dictate to us. When we complain, we are being obstructionist. I say bully to that, let’s obstruct.
