I thought fear-mongering was only for those dastardly Republicans!

Liberal fear-mongering is truly at a high—‘Think of the job losses, think of the 401K’S! Think of the houses! Think of the children!!!’

I have thought about all that. As a matter of fact, I have been laid off and unemployed myself before. Albeit, it wasn’t during an economic crisis, but I know what it’s like to do with less. MUCH less. MUCH, MUCH LESS!

However, every single problem this country is going through right now STILL DOESN’T EXCUSE our President and his Democrat minions [and the idiot Republicans who have voted for this theft of a plan – Arlen Specter (R-PA), Susan Collins (R-ME), Olympia Snowe (also R-ME)] for trying to shove down our throats a stimulus bill with only a little for the economy and a heck-of-a-lot PORK for the leftwing entities that helped this man get elected.

Yes, something needs to be done to quell the downward spiral of our economy. No, it does not include global warming research, purchases of golf carts, hybrid batteries, coal plants, universal healthcare, contraceptive use and other items that stem from the Democrat wish-list they have held near and dear to their hearts for the last eight years.

Obama’s Chief of Staff and longtime Chicago buddy Rahm Emanuel famously said: ““Rule one: Never allow a crisis to go to waste… They are opportunities to do big things.” This was on November 9th of 2008, a mere few days after the President won the election. And boy, are they taking advantage of this opportunity!

Obama used the same fear-mongering rhetoric that he accused Bush of using by stating that any delay in getting his bill passes will turn ‘"a crisis into a catastrophe”’. Isn’t this the guy who chided Bush for using the same tactic and said that ‘we have chosen hope over fear’ during his inauguration speech? I guess fear-mongering should be used sparingly.

Democrats have taken it upon themselves to use this economic atmosphere to plug in all of their gifts as if this was a Christmas list to Santa rather than a very important bill to get the economy running again. Americans, especially the ones dealing with foreclosure and unemployment should be railing against the pork in this bill more than anyone else. These tolerant, loving ‘we’re-for-the-little-guy’ Democrats are thinking of no one but themselves and using people’s very real issues as an afterthought.

The sad part is that many people don’t care what’s in the bill. The same ones who cry and scream that we need something done quickly are the same ones that ignore the fact that the government is being SLOPPY with the spending of money WE JUST DON’T HAVE. Who cares about the pork? They fume. Republicans are playing games!’ Obama accuses them of not being bi-partisan because they (with the exception of the idiotic three) are against this bill.

LET ME SHUT THAT DOWN RIGHT HERE: Republicans seem to be the only people looking at this seriously and rationally. If you want to draft a stimulus bill to help the economy, AND you want Republican support on it—then adding foolish things like what I listed above will not help! Fiscal irresponsibility comes from both sides. Republican definitely had a hand in how this economy spiraled out of control, but now that they are thinking clearly and trying to reverse the foolishness and for that, they are accused of playing games. Wow. Obama admits that the stimulus is not perfect—well then do as you promised, Mr. President, and ensure that all of the pork is cut out!

Screw Olbermann. Forget Limbaugh. Away with Maddow. Ignore O’Reilly!!! RESEARCH FOR YOURSELF!

And a special message to Christians: Stop depending on Obama for your livelihood! Look unto the hills from whence cometh your help. It should be coming from the LORD!
