Control Your Government, Or It Will Control You!

Few people know that there is currently legislation pending in Congress that, if enacted, would allow President Obama to run for a third term. House Joint Resolution 5 would repeal the 22nd Amendment which limits the president to two terms in office. This is not new legislation. Congressman Jose Serrano, a Democrat who represents New York City, has introduced similar legislation in every Congress since 1997. No one has paid much attention -- until now.
This legislation would require approval by two-thirds of both houses, and ratification by 38 states within seven years to become law. This is a very high hurdle for Obama worshipers to jump. They have launched a website to help persuade people to get busy now so Obama can be re-elected in 2016.
Never happen? Perhaps. But one year ago, who could have imagined that President Obama could fire the CEO of General Motors and put 31-year-old Brian Deese, a campaign advisor with no auto industry experience, in charge of reorganizing the corporation. Who would have believed, one year ago, that President Obama would plunge the nation into debt to the tune of nearly $9 trillion -- during his first 100 days? Who could have imagined that the U.S. Congress would even consider taxing and rationing energy, as prescribed by The American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES - HR2454). Who would have believed, a year ago, that the nation today would be at the brink of accepting socialized health care. No one thought that the nation could move from moderate, center-right political policies, to left-wing command-and-control policies in a matter of months.
No one dares scoff at HJ Res 5. With a strong Democrat majority in both houses of congress, and with a fawning national and international media singing his praises, and with his new-found love affair with Obama-almighty, the president can impose all manner of evil on the nation.
There was a time when the term "social engineering" was a political obscenity. It applied to any government meddling into the market place, or into the decisions that free people might make in the pursuit of their own happiness.
Social engineering is now the primary function of the Obama administration, cheered on by a Democratically-controlled congress. This administration intends to force Americans to drive toy-car-death-traps, or travel by government-subsidized rail, or ride bicycles, or walk. This administration intends to tax the use of fossil fuel energy so heavily that it makes solar and wind appear to be a bargain. This administration has abandoned the free market, and is spitting in the face of individual freedom.
It is now clear that Obama and his buds believe that they know best how everyone else should live, and they have no reluctance to enact laws and policies to enforce their vision. They have convinced themselves that their vision of a government-planned, government-run, government-enforced future is better than anything free people could possibly create by accident.
