"When good people relinquish the power of the free market, the power that rests in the hands of the individual, and look to a charismatic figure for help, disaster is right around the corner. It is nothing new that is happening in the world today, my friends. It is the same thing that has been happening since the dawn of time; it takes a crisis to enthrone a monster and I fear that something wicked this way comes." This was written by J.C. Smith of American Thinker, and I wish they were my words. Do you see this current administration as attempting, and often succeeding, in turning Americans against Capitalism and "greedy" executives? Could this all be a part of its' Big Government agenda? They are deflecting focus from the Congress's blame in all this, from forcing banks to make loans to those who couldn't pay for them, to preventing poorly run companies from going into bankruptcy. Worst of all, they are keeping our focus off the fact that Congress once again passed a bill without even reading what was in it! We should be far angrier at Congress than we are at Corporations.

Because of public exposure and the great outcry concerning his hypocrisy, Senator Christopher Dodd has not only admitted that is was HIS addition to the Stimulus Bill which allowed the payment of bonuses to AIG executives (though he is saying the President MADE him do it), he has declared that he will be returning the parts of his over $130,000 presidential campaign donations from AIG executives which in his eyes are "tainted", whatever that means....

Our President has decided that his great plan to make our heroic military vets pay for their own PRIVATE health insurance was not so great after all. Again, our great hue and cry has exposed his agenda as well as his incompetence at his job.

Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House, and third in line to be President of the United States, recently said, while addressing illegal aliens in California, and while condemning raids by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, said, "You are special people. You're here on a Saturday night to take responsibility for our country's future. That makes you very, very patriotic." What? Does that make those who believe in following the laws that CONGRESS has passed are un-patriotic??
