Scared Out of It

“Oh, you scared me out of the crap,” Clara blurted. Apparently the developing language centers in my granddaughter’s five-year-old brain mixes her metaphors and she repeatedly twists that expression. I should correct her but I chuckle every time she says it. When you think it through, if you are knee deep in the crap, getting scared out of it is actually a good thing. Pondering this, I concluded there are many things which concern me, but only one which truly scares me out of the crap. Let me explain.

During the presidential campaign, then Senator Barack Obama promised to fundamentally change America and in spite of warnings from constitutional conservatives, he was elected. In just 18 months, the federal government has wrestled control of two of the big three auto companies, insurance companies, banks, and healthcare all while adding $2.3 trillion to our national debt. (That is $127 billion in debt a month charged on the government MasterCard.) Recently, and equally brilliant from a collectivist viewpoint, the president began redistributing $20 billion from British Petroleum to anyone affected by the oil leak in the gulf. Not surprisingly, the government is also taxing these payments because the alligator is always fed first.

Last week, June 28th, the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee passed the Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act, S.3480. If S.3480 becomes law, the president will have the authority to unequivocally shut down the internet, wholly or partially, for up to four months; exactly like regulations in place in China. Kiss the First Amendment good bye. Progressives controlling the Senate and House have shown no capability of independent thought, so S.3480 will rocket through Congress to the president’s desk. The motto for this Congress is “we must pass and implement this bill to know what is in it.”

The final three to ram through are carbon cap-and-trade, amnesty for 11 million illegal aliens, and the establishment of government funded journalism. Expect to see all these passed and implemented before the next congress is sworn into office in 2011. Regardless your political affiliation, religious beliefs, education, occupation, or favorite sports team, you must recognize the dangerous imbalance of power purposely being created in Washington D.C. I fear so many people ignore what is happening because their loyalty to their party surpasses their loyalty to the Constitution and that truly “scares me out of the crap”.
