Repeating the Same old New Deal Mistakes
Times of London ^ | 02/15/2009 | Dominic Lawson

Here’s something new: instead of the customary attempts to put an optimistic gloss on the state of the economy, our governments are doing exactly the opposite. Over here Ed Balls tells us, more or less, that this is the worst recession since dinosaurs roamed the primordial swamps. Meanwhile President Barack Obama declared last week that “if we don’t act immediately, our nation will sink into a crisis that at some point we may be unable to reverse”. As The Economist commented, with some alarm: “The notion that [America] might never recover was previously entertained only by bearded survivalists stockpiling beans and ammunition in remote log cabins.”

Socialism is the Politics of fear, envy and greed. Scare tactics work well for them. Keep the sheeple in fear that things may get very much worse and you can get power and keep power....

These Secular Humanists (Socialists) wouldn’t know the truth if it jumped up and bit them on the rear. Seems to me that everything was going along pretty good until the Democrats got in power in 2006. After that, in order to destroy the Republican Party, the Democrat Socialist Secular Humanists continued unhampered in doing anything they could - an extended tantrum hissy fit to REMOVE BUSH at any cost.

So, now we are stuck with them and their lying brainwash for the next four years . . and if we’re going to continue to have to deal with RINO’s, I think a true Conservative Party might be in order. Only thing is that it would become infested with CINO’s if something wasn’t established at first to prevent CINO’s and RINO’s from infesting it.
