"When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe." Ed. Note: Which party controls the big cities?

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." Ed Note: Sound familiar?

"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world."

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." Ed. Note: Government bureaucracy anyone?

"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government." Ed. Note: And therein lies the rub.

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."

‘The taxpayer: That’s someone who works for the federal government but doesn’t have to take the civil service examination.’

‘Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.’

‘The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.’

‘It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first..’

‘Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.’

‘Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed, there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book.’

‘No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is as formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women.’

The above quotes were from the mouth of Ronald Reagan. Contrast and compare them to our "leaders" of today.

For those people that want to control every aspect of life to their world view I submit this: We all know now that evil plastic shopping bags are destroying Mother Earth. So, to curb their use the "control-freaks" want us all to use reusable fabric bags. In fact, Californians are mulling over a bill to get stores to stop handing plastic bags out. But wait a while. Researchers from Arizona University and Loma Linda University randomly tested these fabric bags carried by shoppers in Tuscon, Los Angeles and San Francisco. They found "a serious threat to public health, especially from coliform bacteria including E. coli, which were detected in half of the bags sampled" as reported in the Sacramento Bee. So our little busy-bodies recommended that the government should take action by mounting a campaign to get people to wash and/or disinfect their fabric bags regularly (which will add to harming the environment no doubt with the detergent, water and chemicals needed for cleaning). Why does it never occur to these folks to leave us alone?

I haven’t read the latest bill by Congress passing legislation overhauling regulatory procedures for Wall Street, banks, credit card companies and the like but the two most responsible for this fraud were Barney Frank and Chris Dodd who were the two most influential "leaders" of the housing collapse in the first place. It’s sickening that the very people who got us in this mess with their easy-credit schemes through government-run Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (who are still hemorrhaging money by the way) saw to it that the aforementioned Fannie and Freddie are exempt from this new legislation! What’s wrong with us?

Okay, so the housing market tanked again. Gee, what a surprise. BHO’s administration didn’t expect that when the freebies (tax-credits, etc) ended that there would be a drop? Are they ignorant? The same thing happened when cash-for-clunkers stopped. Are they stupid? Now, as you know the government (see BHO administration) owns 61% of General Motors who has just purchased a finance company to help sell more cars with an emphasis on folks who really can’t afford to buy new cars a la the housing debacle; people with risky credit. It’s official, the BHO administration is ignorantly stupid and condescending to boot!

I sure hope we do something about this in November.

Godspeed!
