Wake up Rip!
Rip Van Winkle wakes up after 25 years. When he went to sleep Ronald Reagan was President. The country was strong economically and militarily. She was a leader of the free world. Communism was reeling and losing ground politically and economically.
Boy does Rip get a shock! He turns on the news or probably gets on the internet since the main stream press has quit journalism in favor of propaganda. The revelations -
- Scientists have lied and fudged data to support their position on global warming - and to protect the big federal grant money coming their way.
- The vote of a United States Senator has been bought for $300 million of the taxpayer's money destined for her state. Additionally, she corrects with pride, the original disclosure that it was only $100 million.
- The Chinese communists are lecturing us on fiscal responsibility.
- Federal spending is out of control - TARP, stimulus, omnibus spending bill, cash for klunkers, cap and trade and the push for nationalized health care - of course not under that name.
- Gamesmanship by the Democratic controlled Congress to misinform the public as to the cost of the health care bill by taking payments to doctors out of the legislation and by including tax increases during a ten year period and expenditures for five or six.
- Unelected and unconfirmed Czars exerting huge power over virtually all areas of the economy.
Many of these Presidential picks have either communist leanings and/or affiliations as reflected in their recorded speeches and publications.
- The taking over of a major auto manufacturer. Setting caps on salaries in the private sector.
All of this and much, much more, from a President who campaigned on transparency, bipartisanship and fiscal responsibility.
Our founding fathers stressed the need for virtue by the citizen's in order to make our system of government work. Do we have enough character, morality and love of freedom to ward off the wave of collectivism being thrust upon us? I don't know . I pray that we do. I pray that the good solid citizen's of this country will rise up civilly and say enough is enough at the polls while we still have the ability to do so.
If you think that our form of government can't fall, I invite you to seriously look at the events in Italy , Russia and Germany during the early twentieth century. I have, and the similarity in many areas with what is going on today are frightening.
As Patrick Henry said, "what we gain too easily, we esteem too lightly." Lest we forget.
