From the NYT today:
The House and Senate approved budgets of about $3.5 trillion for the government on Thursday with no Republican support, a sign of deep partisan tensions likely to color Congressional efforts to enact major policy initiatives sought by President Obama.
On the heels of House approval of its spending plan for 2010, the Senate voted 55 to 43 shortly before midnight to adopt a similar budget after a day spent laboring over politically tinged amendments that did little to change a fiscal blueprint generally in keeping with Mr. Obama’s ambitious agenda.
So there we have it. This congress has just spent more money in one shot that the entirety of budgets since the United States was founded. They are spending so much money that France and Germany say we are spending too much money. I fear for my nation’s future, because with everything that is contained in the proposal our economy is going to be driven into the sewer. Nationalized Health Care, Nationalized Banks, Nationalized Auto Industry, Nationalized Energy, deep cuts in the military; if you are not having buyer’s remorse at voting for Glorious Leader you are stupid and foolish. He has managed to accomplish in less than three months what the Soviet Union had been trying to do for decades- he has brought us to the brink of destruction.
I don’t mean armageddon, fire and flames, holocaust destruction. I mean something much worse. I mean that everything that our fathers and forefathers have done to make this the greatest nation on the planet is being erased. Our liberties are vanishing under the proposal of a global government. Our constitution will no longer give us our sovereignty, but rather it will relegate it to the status of a ‘local guideline’ by which we make our local laws.
Empty Suit and his fellow conspirators are driving the bus to TransNationalization faster than anyone ever imagined. Nationalized Banks, Nationalized Health Care, Nationalized Auto Industry, Nationalized Energy, deep cuts in defense spending, soon our laws and edicts will be under the scrutiny of a world body and if they do not like it, we will adapt to meet with their satisfaction. It is coming. The winds are ripe with the smell of rot and decay and the Eagle is choking back the tears in an effort to stay aloft. I pray for God to help us; and the scary thing is that I asy it with the utmost sincerity. Gird your loins, brother, the buss is barreling towards the intersection.
The revolution is at hand. Will you be a leader or a follower?
