Friends, please look at this graph, I’ve posted it before but its importance cannot be overstated:

Government Spending

The Obama presidency, riding a wave of popularity, is creating record deficits in order to create a “new foundation” for America, which is really a “new foundation” for government. Obama is concentrating more power in the hands of a bigger government that is getting more expensive to run. Just think of the government agency that will be charged with ensuring that all currently uninsured Americans have government-run health insurance if Obama’s government healthcare agenda is passed, and how much money in the short and long term will be spent. Or how the government will administer the shares acquired with trillions of taxpayer dollars that they pumped into banks and other companies. The promises of bipartisanship and transparency have gone up in smoke with a Democrat controlled legislature ramming through their proposals and bills without healthy debate, without even giving the American people time to understand what is being passed. The radical left has gained control of the Democratic Party.

The Republican opposition, in the meantime, is stuck trying to figure out its next move. The chairman of the Republican Party, Michael Steele, has been sparring with conservatives around the country. The oft-reviled Dick Cheney has been criticizing moderate Republicans and the Obama administration, probably doing more harm that good, not because he is necessarily wrong but simply because nowadays politics is really a beauty pageant, and Obama is the prettiest contestant around. There is no powerful voice to unite around. One can only hope that the Republican Party can find that “eye of the tiger” and rebound.

For your viewing and listening pleasure

What is especially troubling is that now Obama has asked supporters to write letters to newspaper editors expressing support for his spend-our-way-to-socialism budget. The press in this country will do a good enough job of supporting Obama’s plans on their own without any input from the Obamatons, but this only shows how determined the Democrats are in consolidating and retaining power. This video below demonstrates how regular people are starting to take notice of these alarming developments in our country:

The radical left has tightened its grip on power and I urge both Republicans and especially Democrats to try to reverse this before it is too late. The Democrats of this nation need to take off their blinders just for a moment and consider if it is in our best interest to spend so many trillions, to have a government that is so huge and intrusive, and to give government excessive control over the free market. If this does not bother the Democrats, then perhaps they should consider what would happen if another administration similar to Bush came into power with a government made more powerful by the Obama administration. A more powerful Bush surely would scare Democrats. A stronger government in general is opposed by conservatives already. All Americans, regardless of party, can unite around the idea that more government inherently means less freedom… and we should start uniting now while we still have the chance.
