SNL skit - anything done? Nada.

The Unconstitutional President - how's that for a statement of fact?

Call him what you will, "Hugo Obama" or "Barack Chavez", our current President is obviously intent on destroying this country. He's taken over the banks - Nationalizing (a socialist method of hostile takeover with no poison pill available to the firm being taken over) many of them; forcing out the CEO of GM - now called "Government Motors" by many.

Since when does the Office of the President of the United States have the "right" to determine who heads up a private-sector company? Under what article of the Constitution does this power fall?

Where do the limits of the Presidency end? Nowhere, apparently. And no one is actively standing up against him. Lots of talk, precious little action. A disturbing trend, and one that will result in the destruction of our Republic.

Am I the only one noticing that fascism is coming to America? Webster's defines fascism as "a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition."

I know a lot of you are going to say I’m being absurd. Do you truly think one day you’re free and the next you’re under fascist control? It’s a slow process. In the name of progressivism, we have supporters of fascism right here in our country. If anyone thinks that the nation is not being exalted over the individual, you’re asleep.

Everything coming out of Washington is focused on the collective nation. We’re to "spread the wealth around." Homeschooling is coming under fire. What do the common folk know about educating a child? Hillary Clinton herself said, "it takes a village to raise a child."

Our nation's independence movement was inspired by the Patrick Henry assertion that "taxation without representation constituted tyranny". We had no vote or say in King George's England on tax policy, trade policy, or tariffs.

Let's be real, do you really think that by giving tax payer money to banks and home loan institution's,that they are going to bring us out of this mess.If I recall, aren't they the one's who created this fiasco. I say put the money back in the hands of the tax payer who makes under 250,000 a year, and see how that works.I'm not talking about some slap in the face 600 dollars. Send everyone who made 250,000 dollars or less a check for half of what their gross income was when they filed taxes. If they still had a job. People will spend that money and help create supply and demand again. The 600 dollars some people received, probably went into their gas tank,which went right back to the hurting oil industry.

WASHINGTON -- Top White House officials counseled Democratic senators Thursday on coping with disruptions at public events on health care this summer, officials said, and promised the party and allies would respond with twice the force if any individual lawmaker is criticized in television advertising.

These officials also told skittish senators that fresh polling suggests an emphasis on issues such as barring insurers from denying coverage on the basis of pre-existing medical conditions is a political winner, able to increase support among independents, women, seniors and rural voters.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to discuss details of the closed-door session that took place hours before lawmakers headed to their home states for a month long vacation.

In the week since the House began its own break, several town hall-style meetings have been disrupted by noisy demonstrators. These episodes have drawn widespread media attention, and Republicans have seized on them as well as polls showing a decline in support for President Barack Obama and his agenda as evidence that public support is lacking for his signature legislation.

Democrats have accused Republicans of sanctioning mob tactics, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., accused protesters of trying to sabotage the democratic process.

The Republican Party says it's not behind the protests, but Reid scoffed at the notion that the protesters reflect grass-roots sentiment. He held up a piece of artificial turf during a session with reporters.

"These are nothing more than destructive efforts to interrupt a debate that we should have, and are having," Reid said Thursday. "They are doing this because they don't have any better ideas.

They have no interest in letting the negotiators, even though few in number, negotiate. It's really simple: they're taking their cues from talk show hosts, Internet rumor-mongerers ... and insurance rackets."

Republicans answered back.

"All the polls show there is serious concern, if not outright opposition, to the president's health care plan," said Antonia Ferrier, spokeswoman for House Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio. "Democrats are ginning up this cynical shell game."
