Eat Drink and be Bankrupt

It is being called one of the most crucial Congressional elections in our nation’s history, and given the excesses of the Obama administration and its henchmen in Congress it probably is.

Somebody has got to put the brakes on the out-of-control spending by Congress before the nation’s economy collapses, and call a halt to the liberal Democrat party’s power grab that threatens the individual liberties of the American people. That’s what the November elections are all about: who runs America? The power-crazed left wing of the Democrat Party or we, the American people? This is no overstatement of what is at stake in the coming Congressional elections. The change Barack Obama promised is turning out to be not the change the American people, weary of the growing concentration of power in Washington, we're looking for. Since January 2009 The intensity of that naked grab for power has increased tenfold. Moreover, the change Barack Obama is seeking to impose on the nation has a decidedly pinkish hue – much of it is right out of Karl Marx’s playbook as preached by Obama’s Chicago mentor, the late Saul Alinsky. There is, however, a potential roadblock in front of Obama’s march to the left – the Congress of the United States. Over the past two years the Democrat-controlled Congress has given Obama pretty much everything he’s asked for – especially his health care reform act that for all intents and purposes was a huge step forward into the kind of socialized medicine that has wrecked the British health care system and forced many Canadians into fleeing south for surgery and other medical care to escape the horrors of that nation’s socialized medical system. One of his goals is the so-called “Card Check” measure, one of big labor’s most cherished goals. The big labor bosses like it because it eliminates secret ballots in union elections, thus subjecting union members who defy their wishes and vote their consciences to harassment. That Draconian measure has failed to win approval in Congress but that hasn’t prevented President Obama from trying to bypass the Congress. As the National Right to Work Committee has warned, the President has given a recess appointment to the National Labor Relations Board to labor lawyer Craig Becker who the Committee warns is “using his position’ on the board “to bypass the will of Congress.” The President needs a Congress that will ignore the nation’s suicidal plunge into un-payable debt and keep the spending spigots wide open and gushing even more debt that even our grandchildren and their offspring will be unable to satisfy. In our nation’s history one of the most important responsibilities Americans accepted was to strive to ensure that their offspring would have a brighter future than that they faced when they were born. Yet under the Obama administration and its compliant Congress no thought is given to the monstrous burdens it is imposing on the coming generation and those that will follow it. The Romans gave us the formula for the ruinous practices that will doom our future generations to poverty and want: “Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.” We are eating and drinking and being merry, all on the resources of our children and grandchildren but what we are drinking is a Kool Aid concocted by Karl Marx and Frederick Engle – it may taste good at first gulp, but it quickly turns sour – and fatal. November 2nd is our last chance to reverse our plunge into oblivion. We had better take it.
