As We Go Marching
ByThis has not been a very good year for freedom, self-rule, or prosperity.
Take Congress and the President. Both are eagerly dismantling American exceptionalism, while singing songs of a healthier population, a greener environment, and a more responsible financial sector.
Regrettably, and unerringly, there will be less actual health care, several orders more waste, and the relatively few corrupt financiers who are successfully routed will be replaced by corrupt politicians (excuse my tautology). Reference? Obamacare, Cap and Trade, and the new Financial Regulation bill. Yup, we’re only 1 horseman short (although I’m sure he’s mounting now, likely somewhere in Iran).
Even as the Great Recession drags on and on and the Fed keeps rates nonsensically low, our contemptible overlords have really implemented novel laws and regulations whose scope reaches that of a “New” New Deal. Apparently it not once crossed the minds of these enthusiastic, cloistered busybodies that the old New Deal coincided with the Great Depression, and it was only the conscription of all men of age (as well as many civilian women) that finally dented unemployment. The original American economic experiment was a failure, no doubt contributing significantly to the causes of World War II. But hey, as ballerina Rahm says, never let a good crisis go to waste.
So expect more demonizing of the private sector by Obama & Co; the health insurance industry, the banks and brokerage houses (particularly the hated scapegoat for this depression, Goldman Sachs), the oil and coal industries,
greedy small business who don’t offer health insurance to employees, etc. Instead, we’ll soon all be blessed by government monopolies that dictate our health coverage, financial transactions and investment, and power consumption.
Don’t be sad; they’ve done a terrific job with the skoolz.
It’s heartening to see Americans joining the Tea Party. If it is successful and does indeed roll back government substantially, this movement will be in the textbooks. And some future historian will comment cleverly on the first black president, a product of the (racial) civil rights movement, who worked to assiduously to undermine, slander, discredit, and smear the spontaneous (economic) civil rights movement organized in opposition to him.

Obama and his crew aren’t against making money or capitalism–they just prefer that you be are a liberal, socialist, egalitarian, that has the sense to store away your wealth in hidden foreign accounts so nobody can accuse you of being greedy and inhumane. It’s not acceptable to actually talk about wanting to work hard, get ahead, enjoy the finer things in life without feeling guilty…they key is to do all this while using other people’s money to keep the not so fortunate masses just never fortunate enough.
