Looking at these stories IN ORDER:
- ·
The Government will now force car companies to
build smaller, more “energy efficient” cars that Americans have proven time and
again that they do not want, effectively forcing Obama’s preferred products
onto the consumer.
- ·
The Government is on the verge of buying General
Motors, thus socializing America’s largest car company. How long will it be
before the Government begins imposing regulations on car companies that have
the gall to oppose Government Motors?
- ·
The Obama Healthcare plan, which again pits the
Government against the free market by “competing” with the existing private
companies, will soon be underway. This will eventually kill those private
companies because Government insurance will simply always cost less—unless
you count the enormous bill that taxpayers will be funding until my
great-grandchildren are eligible for public office (I am currently 18 years
old).
- ·
The Government is calling for a “culture” that
resists personal success in favor of “collective success” (my words, a
paraphrase of the President). In other words: let’s destroy the free market in
favor of a system that meets some bureaucrat’s arbitrary idea of “fairness.”
- ·
The Loony Left is honestly considering
prosecuting Bush-era officials over simply having different policies than the
current Administration. Let’s ignore the fact that Bush-era policies kept
America safe for the 7 years following 9/11, and thwarted over 40 planned
terrorist attacks, thereby saving thousands of lives or more.
Put it all together, and what do we get?
Remember, friends: that death began today.
