What I was trying to say... but said much better!

I just posted a blog about the stimulus package and why it doesn't matter whether we like it or not.... it's going through. This article (tweet link courtesy of @ZanP) outlines very clearly why Mr. Obama and the Dems are so fired up about passing this thing.

The Truth About the Obama Agenda, Part I
By Wayne Allen Root
I have been asked by radio talk show hosts across the country to talk about President Obama’s possible – if not probable — nationalization of the banking system. But there’s more to the story than just banks.

This issue ties in with every aspect of the Obama Socialist Agenda — bailouts, handouts, economic stimulus packages, giving too much power to the Federal Reserve … and let’s not forget tax cuts to people who don’t pay taxes.

The Obama agenda isn’t about saving the American economy. Rather, it is about putting Big Brother in control of our lives. It’s about the Nanny State — big government intrusion into every aspect of our lives in order to “protect” us. It’s about destroying capitalism and tearing down the U.S. economy to build a new economic system based on rewarding the “right kind” of Americans — those who support Obama and his agenda.

The economy problems were caused by George Bush... and John McCain

Sure.

I can't believe anyone is dumb enough to believe that.

But they are.

I was just listening to a reporter who's embedded with Barack Obama's campaign share that PRIVATELY the Obama people admit that George Bush and the Republicans didn't cause the problem, that it is a non-political issue, non-party issue. But still they play the blame game so they can dupe the dummies who haven't got a clue how things work and who're looking for a Messiah to save their bacon.

I get so tired of politics sometimes. I'd say it would be really refreshing to have someone just tell it like it is, but they'd never get past first base so we'd never know they were doing so. I know in local politics around my county a politician who speaks straight doesn't last long! People want to have someone to blame and they want someone to tell them it's going to be OK.

Sarah Palin and John McCain are about the two best I've seen yet when it comes to 'straight talk' as McCain tags his way of shooting from the hip. Sarah Palin has gotten where she is partially because she is a straight shooter (in more ways than one!). However, I'm noticing that the handlers are starting to have an affect on her. I hope she'll continue to stick to her guns and not let those guys ruin her. What is SO refreshing about Palin is her lack of Washington, her freshness and honesty. Well, there's a lot of things that are refreshing about Sarah!

Heard today Obama is going to stop trashing so much and start offering solutions. Bet they'll involved MORE government, MORE big brother. I think one of the reasons we have this problem is the government stuck their hands into business and the free market a bit more than they should. From what I understand, those crappy mortgages happened in large part due to the government breathing down their necks about not giving enough low-income loans. I said 'partially' because that's not the only reason. Human nature abhors the potential to ignore easy money, thus greed factored into the equation, too.

Who knows what the right balance between government regulations and free market should be? To me it's clear Obama goes way over the top and if he had his way he'd turn this country into a Socialist one if possible. The Libertarians may have the right idea, but they go a bit too far in a different direction. Not saying the Republicans are always right, but I can live with self-responsibility and less government a whole lot easier than the Democratic version of government and censorship.
