Those Democrats Are Outta Control!
Sitting here in the hospital waiting for my exam, I’ve had some time to think about how things have changed under our new “President.” Remember during the election how people laughed at the well-reasoned warnings from talk radio and Fox news, that Obama would turn the country into a fascist-socialist narco-terrorist state?
Well, it’s September 2009 and who’s laughing now?
It’s not just the gun thing. Of course, Obama banned those in his first executive order, and ATF agents went door to door collecting them all over the next three days (kids’ water guns too, for chrissake). Candidate Obama never said he’d do that, but I knew better.
But even more shocking is all those things he’s been able to do since he took the guns away. Where to begin?
The Democrat Congress passed that big global warming carbon tax before the wait staff had even finished clearing the glasses at the freshmen welcoming reception! Now, a more business-friendly president would have pushed for some sort of cap-and-trade scheme instead, where industries would stop polluting voluntarily (or request a permit to let them keep polluting; yeah, the permits would be free, but come on, paperwork = boring!).
“If you expand access to health care in this country, people will see that government can sometimes do good things. Democracy will run through the streets, mark my words!”
But no, Obama’s tax-happy Democrats stood up to the coal industry and started taxing pollution like it was some sort of pollutant or something. The Economist says the carbon tax is the only real effective option for curbing global warming, but not even my two-year-old nephew can explain to me how it works! So now, everything we buy — even the fuel we put inside our SUV’s — costs a little more. All to head off some destructive, expensive catastrophes that wouldn’t even happen this year anyway.
And health care — don’t get me started on health care! The President seems to think that just because he got elected he has some “mandate” to do what he said he would. My friend, Hal, went to one of those town hall meetings and warned ‘em, “If you expand access to health care in this country, people will see that government can sometimes do good things, depending on who’s in power. Democracy will run through the streets, mark my words!”
But Obama stood up to those protesters — all 16 of them — and repeated his demands for a civilized health care system. Who does he think he is, President or something? He told those health care companies, “The party’s over. You’re inefficient and uncompetitive and you only insure the people who don’t need it. We’ve determined your inhuman greed is a pre-existing condition.” Two days later his sleeper cells in Congress had created a national health service to compete with private plans. Now, insurance company profits are going up slower than they used to and doctors are treating sick people who couldn’t even afford it before.
Now that’s what’s sick!
It just goes to show what happens if you give Democrats the presidency and the House and 60 seats in the Senate. Outta control, just like O’Reilly warned us!
If Obama hadn’t confiscated my .45, why I’d– oh right. I traded it for this colonoscopy.
Where is that doctor, let’s get this done already!
