Re: Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act
“Despite the good intentions of this bill, we are creating a huge new government entity that will be unmanageable and violates some of the core principles of our civil society. Every time the government steps in to solve a problem, it creates three new problems in its place.” – Sen Jim DeMint R-S.C.
With that asshole’s name attached to it, it can’t be good. America is done. It will resemble Europe within the next four years.
I hate to break it to you, but I’ve lived there, and it isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. You lose freedoms slowly, until you don’t even notice it’s gone until you run afoul of the (insert govt. entity here) dweeb who’s head swells with his new found power. This type of dweeb in a normal society wouldn’t and couldn’t have any power otherwise. That’s what makes that type more dangerous.
America will be full of these people, more than is already the case with the nanny state mentality that permeates through some states, read; California.
Maybe it’s time to head for the south/south eastern states and find a place to hole up and see if this blows over, or if I have to start fending for myself in other ways.
Shit.
WASHINGTON — Julius Caesar was murdered by Brutus and his friends in the Roman legislature on the ides of March 44 B.C. Free enterprise died at the hands of Barack and his friends in the American legislature on the 30th of March 2009. The following day, those same ministers of American government completed the death warrant for civic duty in our republic. They called it the “Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act.” The bill passed — as did the killing of Caesar — with overwhelming support from the legislature.
It was a remarkable performance, worthy of a Shakespearean tragedy. In the space of 48 hours, the president of the United States seized control of one of the world’s largest manufacturing companies and fired its CEO. He followed up by congratulating our representatives for creating the 14th-largest paid entity on the planet — a quarter-million government-paid “volunteers.” And then he departed the capital to receive the cheers of adoring crowds — in Europe. If Adolf Hitler or Josef Stalin had done any of this, Americans would have gone crazy. As it was, most of our countrymen apparently enjoyed the show.
