Are you ready for a FReepathon!!?
Well, it's a new quarter and a new president and he's everything we knew he would be. In less than 90 days he's managed to take an economic downturn and turn it into an unmitigated disaster for good old American capitalism. Never let a good crisis go to waste!
The government is now printing money as fast as they can run the presses. Our federal budget is doubling and tripling and the Fed is running with no controls or oversight whatsoever from the congress, pumping trillions more into the "economy."
The government now spends trillions (with a capital "T") without even blinking an eye. Hell, they don't even bother reading the bills. Obama says jump, and the congress rips out another trillion dollar bill. And why bother with the congress? That's too slow and too messy, what with debate and voting and all. The Treasury and Federal Reserve have partnered up to pump in trillions on their own initiative under their own powers. No muss, no fuss. Congresswoman Bachmann asked them three times during a congressional hearing what provision of the constitution authorizes their actions and they simply didn't answer. Dodged the questions. Chairman Frank finally cut her off and that was that! No one else even bothered.
And Obama has already taken over huge financial corporations. He's never run a business in his entire life and doesn't know a profit margin from a price earnings ratio, but he's suddenly a Wall Street Wizard. He's qualified to run our multi-trillion dollar banking, finance and insurance industries. He can hire and fire CEOs, boards, control their compensation and even salaries and bonuses of individual employees. If he doesn't get his way, he simply orders congress to pass a law. And they do. Constitutional or not!
Good grief! What have we come to?
Running (ruining) the financial industry is not enough for our great Obamassiah. Now he's decided to take over the car business too. Singlehandedly jumps in to fire the CEO and board of GM and takes over the company! He decides who lives and who dies. It's breathtaking.
And he's not going to stop there. His first 100 days is not up yet. Next is the healthcare industry. He's already got his czars in place and he's ordering the congress to pass the laws giving him complete control. Then the oil & gas and energy production and distribution companies fall next. Total control of transportation and communications will soon follow.
Add the carbon tax and we have complete control and complete destruction.
When the government controls the means of production and distribution of goods and services what do we have? Socialism!
Obama is a life long Marxist. He absolutely hates free market capitalism. And he's steamrolling blitzkrieging over our free enterprise systems. We are witnessing the dictatorial takeover of America and it's happening in lightening speed.
What chance do we have of slowing down this Marxist juggernaut? As long as he has a socialist congress to do his bidding, none. We absolutely must take over the congress next year or it's the end of America as the land of the free.
Meanwhile, we must take to the streets. Boston Tea Parties are fine for starters, but I suggest we step it up to Off With Their Heads Tax Revolts ™ John & Ken Show, as soon as possible and make them BIG, and LOUD and often!
It's time we put the fear of the people back into our government!
Keep your powder dry!

I wanted to tell everyone about a conservation that happened recently on FR's Yahoo forum. Someone posted a thread with began with "Is legitimate dissent allowed in this forum?" This egghead then preceded to question FR's "devotion to democracy" as though somehow if we don't allow someone to come in and throw kisses to Hussien that somehow we're not "prizewinning democracy".
Let me say a few things that are right that were said in this conservation. First off this is NOT a taxpayer run website, this is a privately run website. We are all guests in this living room and posting here is indeed a privilege, NOT a right.
Secondly, to somehow imply that opposing the social and political policies of the Obama Administration and the Democrats is some how malicious and threatening is dumb, stupid, idiotic and moronic. There is absolutely nothing malicious or threatening about what people are saying about Obama and the Democrats and their agenda for this country and to say otherwise is dumb, stupid and idiotic.
Nobody is forcing you to come to FR and read these posts if you don't want to, but whether anyone likes it being said or not we as conservatives do have the right under the first amendment to speak out in opposition to the social and political agenda of the Obama administration and anyone who has a problem with that needs to go pack their bags and fly off somewhere to another part of the world where they'd be much more happier.
There are far better and more productive ways to live your life than to go and look for something to be offended and try to shut it down.
Third, the founding fathers were indeed very stubborn about not only demanding that people recognize the right of free speech but also that they didn't tolerate "open debate" This is what's called freedom of association. The right to associate with like minded people.
And finally one more thing too. I have no use whatsoever for anyone who calls those opposed to any part of Obama or the Dem's social and political agenda psychopaths or hate mongers or racists.
Now, FR as I stated is a privately owned website. It's not funded by taxpayers, it's funded by it's readers. Conservatives have the opportunity to address issues of public importance as well as the chance to make and grow friendships. With your support of FR, this tradition will continue.
With so much at stake now more than ever, We need FR.
If you cannot make a donation to FR, then by all means stop and bump this thread so those who can donate will know what's going on. Any donation no matter how large or small it may be will help us to keep FR running so that we as conservatives can continue to blow the whistle on Obama and the Democrats and their enormously harmful social and political agenda which they wish to impose on this country.
With that, as Jimrob would say, "let's gitter done"
Regards......
