			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>Just last week, we were told by the Obama Administration and the Democrats in the Congress that we needed lots of government spending in order to stimulate the economy. So the liberals in Congress passed the largest spending bill in US history and it was signed by President Obama. This week, President Obama is now telling us that the government needs to cut spending in order to reduce the deficit. In order to cut spending, the government will reduce our military and reduce government spending on health care for the elderly via Medicare and Medicaid. </p>
<p>Essentially, what the liberal Democrats in Congress and President Obama himself are telling us that it is OK for the government to take money out of the US treasury to give to their fat cat friends on Wall Street and organizations like ACORN that stuff the ballot box each election&#8230; but that it is not OK for the government to fulfill its promises to pay for grandma’s operation or her medical treatments. </p>
<p>What the liberals are doing is playing a big “shell game”, hoping that we don’t notice what they, the magicians, are doing to take money away from grandma’s health care in order to provide money to the likes of GM, Chrysler, the Big Bank CEOs and the environmental tyrants who are behind the hoax of man-made global warming. </p>
<p>Perhaps Ann Colter was right: liberals think that we Americans have no memory span and that history is what happened after we got up this morning. They are dead wrong. <span id="more-17320"></span></p>
<p>It seems that in every election, the elderly have been used by the liberal Democrats as pawns in a game to gain political power so that the liberal Democrats can enrich themselves and their friends at the expense of those who have paid into Medicare for decades. Now, when it comes time for the government to provide the services that were paid for by taxpayers…now when some of them are just about to be eligible for Medicare…now the liberal Democrats are taking away those benefits that taxpayers paid for and are entitled to. </p>
<p>If the liberal Democrats wanted to stimulate the economy by putting money into it, they could have done so by simply letting the elderly get their medical treatments under Medicare and Medicaid. That would have put money into the health care system. But they didn’t want that. Apparently the liberal Democrats in Congress and the White House don’t think that they should give back to the average American the money that they paid into the Medicare system for decades . Instead the liberal Democrats in Congress and the White House think that it is just fine for the government to make us pay by taking money out of the US treasury to give to some of Al Gore’s friends so that they can make ethanol out of our food. The liberal Democrats in Congress then force us to pay even more at the pump by passing laws mandating that all gas have at least 10% ethanol in it. What the corrupt politicians in Washington don’t want us to know is that the money that we pay at the pump goes back to Al Gore’s friends and that some of it ends up in the bank accounts of liberal Democrat politicians in the form of book deals, speech gratuities and campaign contributions. </p>
<p>The liberal Democrats are tyrants. Members of AARP and their children should be outraged at such corruption in Washington DC and vote the rascals out of office. If they do not, then they can expect their own lifespan be shortened because the liberal Democrats took their Medicare money and gave it to their liberal friends in order to get the kickback. It is time to break out the protest signs, the pitch forks and the torches and to march on Washington DC.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p>Some misguided folks still wish to blame President Bush for the financial meltdown. Let&#8217;s set the record straight. The President cannot tax anyone. He cannot spend a dime of Uncle Sam&#8217;s (&#8230;our&#8230;) money. Only Congress can do that. The Democrats in Congress are responsible for not allowing the regulators to stop the toxic mortgage crisis in Fannie Mae and Freddie Max. The Republicans wanted it&#8230;the Democrats blocked it. The Democrats have had a clear majority in both houses of Congress since 2006. They are responsible for setting the fiscal policies in place that now are manifesting themselves. As we head into the Great Depression of the 21st century, keep in mind that no socialist nation has ever become an economic superpower. The Soviets tried it and failed. Even the Communist Chinese have learned that only free market capitalism can bring prosperity and wealth to a nation. When government takes away all of the fruits of your labor, there is no incentive to work. Take a good look around your cities and towns in the next few weeks. Take pictures. Remember what it was like to live in prosperity and freedom&#8230;economic freedom. Remember the fruits of capitalism. You will not be seeing them for a while. Many of the stores that you liked to shop in won&#8217;t be around in the next few years. The socialists will see to that. The American people elected a Marxist &#8220;share the wealth&#8221; president and we will soon see the economic results. This government will be a government of the tyrants, by the tyrants and for the tyrants. Obama will be the head tyrant. </p>
<p>Obama promised to increase the taxes on businesses, increase the income taxes of the so-called &#8220;wealthy&#8221;, the capital gains tax and promised to gut the coal industry while dismantling what remains of our ability to produce and refine oil in this country. It should be no surprise that the Dow is crashing. (Thank you Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and our wonderful leaders in Congress). It should be no surprise that those who have any money in the stock market are getting out while they still have some wealth. Stand by for the great depression. America voted for it. Now we are going to get it. </p>
<p>Our only hope for the is that we as a people learn from our mistakes and return the government to the people&#8230;.that is, if we have future elections that are fair and unfettered by ballot stuffing (Thank you ACORN). Remember what Ronald Reagan said. He told us that America was great because government got out of the way of the people and allowed the people to live in freedom&#8230;to unleash the creative spirit that has so epitomized America. Until we return to those principles, we do not have any hope of returning to the days of prosperity. Freedom and prosperity go hand in hand. You cannot have economic prosperity without economic freedom. </p>
