The Lesser of Two Evils

While Commissar Obama talks about killing free enterprise and capitalism, John McCain and, to a lesser extent, Sarah Palin are talking about a slightly more benign form of socialism. After a brief show of mavericness for effect, Joh McCain has signed onto a pork-laden bailout bill which is illegal, destructive, and has nothing to do with the US Constiution.

ARTICAL 10: Any powers not specificly enumerated here fall to the states. The Federal Government had NO AUTHORITY to order banks to make bad loans, but it did. NO AUTHORITY to create Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but it did. Every such warm and fuzzy federal program which has handicapped and crippled the private sector has been illegal.

The framers were smarter than you think they were. This sort of crap is exactly why the Ennumerated Powers act was written in clear and unambiguous language. I'll make it even less ambiguous: The federal government is NOT ALLOWED to interfere with the private sector, beyond imposing tarriffs on international trade, prosecuting fraud, theft, etc.

The damage is done.

But as I write, your congresspeople are ignoring YOU and the Constitution and ramming through a bill which will constitute the largest yet intrusion onto the private sector. This will send us perhaps irretrievably deeper into socialism.

WE ARE DYING.

Don't be irrational or childish about this. Don't believe it won't effect you. Don't say "it can't happen here". It IS happening. The reason is the OPPOSITE of capitalism. The cause is socialism.

THOSE BANKS WOULD NEVER HAVE MADE THOSE LOANS HAD THEY NOT BEEN FORCED TO.

The Framers designed a small, unobtrusive government and a free society. Competition, self-interest, and opportunity fueled this engine, and made this the greatest country ever to have existed. SOCIALISM, beginning with the destructive and illegal programs instituted during FDR's administration, has caused every single major problem since.

Bigger and bigger problems, leading up to this mother of all boondoggles.

Perhaps some Resolution Trust type PRIVATE SECTOR solution is neccessary here, but what is happening now?

Barney Frank, Christopher Dodd, and the others who blocked Republican efforts to impose restrictions on Fannie and Freddie are the ones pretending to fix the problem their own socialism has caused, and their solution is MORE SOCIALISM. Rather than ENDING Fannie and Freddie, they intend to prop them up.

THESE PROGRAMS ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND ILLEGAL. THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO EXIST. YOUR GOVERNMENT IS A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE, AND THIS COUNTRY IS BEING DESTROYED BY SOCIALISM.

Sarah Palin, after saying she supports carbon credits--which are another socialist program, dammit--quoted Reagan. Freedom is not passed to your children geneticly. It is always under attack, and must always be defended.

If you say "It can't happen here", you are a coward. It's hard to describe McCain as a coward, but look at what he's doing. He promised to end earmarks and identify the culprits to the voters. He just signed onto an earmark-laden bailout bill. He allows marxocrats to blame capitalism for this socialistic mess, refusing to identify the policies and people who caused it.

George Bush was never a conservative, nor is McCain. Conservatives take their oath to PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION (from enemies foreign and DOMESTIC) seriously. None but a few isolated congresspeople are doing so now.

God help us.
