The price of a barrel of oil closed over $71 today (June 10), and will go higher as the speculators are getting back into the market. When Barrack Obama became president, the price of oil was $35 a barrel, so we have seen the change. Oh, that’s right, he also stopped offshore drilling on 77 leases, and has stopped any looking for American oil, thereby insuring dependence on foreign oil. Isn’t change wonderful?
General Motors and Chrysler, have been saved by the “anointed one,” and he has rewarded his AFL-CIO buddies by giving them 55 percent of Chrysler. He, and his “car czar” own 70 percent of GM, and he thinks he can run it, which is a joke. The car czar admits he knows nothing about running a car company, so this should be a real circus. Now the clowns in Congress have passed the Cash for Clunkers bill, which will give you a $4,500 voucher toward a new fuel-efficient car. The old car you turn in will be recycled, as there is no trade-in value.
Isn’t change wonderful?
This Congress, controlled by Obama’s henchmen, is a dictatorship of the proletariat: The assumption of political power by the proletariat held in Marxism to be the essential part of the transition from capitalism to communism. Combine the two, and you have the end of America, as you have known her in the past. Your personal freedoms will have to be sacrificed for the good of the group, even if you do not belong to that group.
Isn’t change wonderful?
We Americans have two choices: (1) sit back, and let America decline into a third-rate country; or, (2) oppose this transition in every way possible. Write letters to the editor, call your congressman, your senators and anyone else who will listen. Enlist like-minded individuals in the cause, and get them to write letters, call, etc., until Americans everywhere are informed of this administration’s agenda, then maybe we can slow, or stop the progression into socialism. This is the only change that will save America from bankruptcy, and it is our duty to be in the opposition.
Isn’t change wonderful!
