The Immovable Force

Remember how important it was that we get the $700 billion bailout in the hands of Hank Paulson RIGHT NOW? Congress made it sound like something that had to happen immediately... or else. Or else what? The “or else” sounded dire, like it was the demise of America. Well, good ole Hank has yet to use the money to buy up these bad mortgages and indeed, has changed his mind about it all together.

“Over these past weeks we have continued to examine the relative benefits of purchasing illiquid mortgage-related assets,” Paulson said. “Our assessment at this time is that this is not the most effective way to use TARP[Troubled Asset Relief Program] funds.”

Not the most effective way? That was the purpose of the money; that's why you said you needed it. I smell a rat and now I have some questions.

Why was all of America told this?

Was it a lie?

Were we swindled?

Was the entire thing fabricated to do damage to the Bush Administration just before the election?

I'm not sure what it was, but I can tell you what it wasn't... it wasn't an emergency. Were we duped? You bet we were. We were told that we NEEDED to bail out the mortgage industry. We were told that we NEEDED to bail out AIG. Now we are being told that we NEED to bail out the Big Three. How are they justifying it? They say “These businesses are too big to fail.” That is a lie; if they were too big to fail, they wouldn't fail! There is no such thing as a company that is too big to fail.

Well, fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

I find it interesting that the liberals hate some companies because they are too big (Wal-Mart, Microsoft, Pfizer, etc) and throw billions at others because they are too big (AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddy Mac, GM, and any airline they can get their hands on). How do they decide which they are going to love and which they are going to hate? I think I found the magic formula.

If your company has a solid business model and makes a good profit while providing a valuable product or service, the liberals are going to hate you. If your business is fraught with government regulation, greedy unions, and questionable business practices that provide an opening for government interference, the liberals will love you and send you billions of taxpayer dollars.

Why is this? Because they are Socialists. They are Marxists. They are bent on destroying free-market capitalism. Nationalizing entire industries is one of the ways they plan to do it. They started a long time ago and will not stop until they either succeed or hit an immovable force coming the other way. What is that immovable force? YOU ARE! American resolve has never met it's match. We have had some pretty rough enemies but none are as destructive as the one we face today. There is battle going on for our very freedom, if we don't stand up and fight, we will become slaves of the state. We have already defeated slavery once in this country, let's not go back there again. We can win this fight and together, we will.
