President Obama contends that Americans have acquired a distrust in government that “endangers the future of the country.” He vowed to “do whatever it takes to reverse this trend and restore the kind of faith in government we saw during World War II.”
“During World War II, every American was joined in a common purpose,” Obama said. “Everyone did their part. Everyone had faith that following the leadership of the Roosevelt Administration would be best for all. There wasn’t all this quibbling over individual rights and personal prerogatives.”
The President acknowledged that “the scope of government control during the war was immense, but this very immensity of scope is what assured everyone that the common good would prevail over selfish individualism. People accepted that if the government needed them to do a job, they should do it. People accepted that their own personal consumption could be rationed for the greater good. It was like we were all part of one collective organism, each person doing his part for the good of the whole.”
“Today, there are too many separate and discrete decision-making entities,” Obama argued. “My program for change is aimed at consolidating decision-making so that one entity overseeing all can ensure that everyone pulls together toward a common end. When a single entity is empowered to take care that everyone’s needs are fulfilled, then faith in this entity will be the only option that makes sense.”

The Democrats have become the Party of More Government. Their answer to ever question is MORE GOVERNMENT. The ever increasing size of government has become a parasite on the American Economy.
Can’t say what is on my mind or I’ll get put in time out AGAIN.
I know! It’s believeable...but John Stemmons isn’t. LOL! I love his stuff.
He’s going to resign?
He is brilliant LOL.
if it were only true.
Of all people to be saying such... What a complete and utter FAIL this guy is. Maybe he’s doing this to America so that his wifey will “hold-out” on him, sparing him anguish.
No kidding. Almost no one can tell the difference. I bet if this was published in a liberal rag they would read it and nod their heads and say "right on."
I reeeealy wonder just who does write this crap for Fearless Reader?
One of your best ones yet!
Is he, dingy, botox, kkk and the rest of the dems resigning en-mass today?

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care
The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

Congressional Dems on Twitter

And here are toll-free numbers we can use to call any Senators or Reps.
At the first number below you must wait through a tape recording urging you to tell your Rep or Senator to vote “yes” for the health care bill. Just hang on and when the recording is over, you will get the Capitol operator. Just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Then you will either talk to an aid or have the chance to leave a message for him/her to vote NO on the health care bill.
When you use the second number and the Capitol operator comes on, just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Every time I use this number I get the Rep or Senator’s answer machine, so it may be set up that way all the time...to go to their answer machine. Either way you can leave a message to vote NO on the health care bill!
We need to use these toll free numbers that have been set up for the health care/ BO supporters and illegals to use! After all they are FREE!

I wouldn’t doubt Hitler said something very similar.
True, but Obama stated on Thusday:
"People have lost faith in government - they had lost faith in government before I ran (for president), and it has been getting worse," Obama said at a rally in St. Louis."
The satire is based in the truth. Obummer expects Americans to put their faith in government. And sadly there are Americans who accept this concept.
Please oh please, start printing the word “satire” in large, bold print as my blood pressure can’t stand much more of this. By the time I realized what was going on I hwas already half way through my second Dickel.
“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it’’—Mark Twain. The only ‘’faith’’ President Zippy can restore in me is if he were to resign.
Just like the "Borgs" in the Star Trek series, right?
“Today, there are too many separate and discrete decision-making entities,” Obama argued. “My program for change is aimed at consolidating decision-making so that one entity overseeing all can ensure that everyone pulls together toward a common end. When a single entity is empowered to take care that everyone’s needs are fulfilled, then faith in this entity will be the only option that makes sense.”
Translation...The United?! Communist States of America.
LOL!
Its hard to tell anymore!
