At last, at last, our leaders in halls of Congress and majestic Senate now control—with approval from union leaders—the once great but now bankrupt General Motors. A total victory for the progressive liberals in press, media, and halls of congress.
Yes, at last a peoples car, a car for us folks, or as Hitler called it in German, the Volkswagen. It will be like every federal boondoggle, unworkable and exorbitantly expensive. All cars and all people, however, will now be equal. Of course some people and their cars will need to be more equal than others. We would have it no other way. Then again we will not have a choice.
The new peoples car or Volkswagen, a car developed out of the politically correct imagination of more than 500 US Senators and Congressmen. Or is it Congress people? A car environmentally correct. A car fulfilling special interest desires from PETA to Hollywood. An all-inclusive Peoples Car.
Congressman from corn growing areas will demand certain percentage only burn fuel made from corn. Congressman Barney Frank will insist a certain percentage come in color pink. As to the Peoples Car for the spooky and bizarre Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi and her San Francisco supporters, who knows. The Congressional Black Caucus, of course, will have their own criteria as will every other member of House and Senate. And everyone will demand part of the car be built in their district.
The number of new Car Czars—from Headlight Czar to Gas Pedal Czar—appointed will solve half our unemployment problem. And what a wonderful opportunity for people like President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden who have never ran a business—let alone changed their own oil or spark plugs—to get experience. I know, I know, this same concept along with every other five-year plan was a disastrous failure in the Soviet Union—and everywhere else. Until now.
The emotionally unstable progressive liberals tell us we only need to trust, to believe, not to be of little faith. According to Newsweek’s Evan Thomas, our President is " . . . standing above our country, above the world, he’s sort of God."
The call to "trust and believe" will be of little comfort to taxpayers financing the coming Peoples Car. Another exorbitantly expensive federal flop to be bitterly known as the Obama Boondoggle, Pelosi Put Put, and numerous unprintable names.
We know the President is not God. But progressive liberals who do believe the President is a "sort of God," look forward to the Peoples Car. They worship the idea of these same great minds running a National Government Health Care and Educational system. They will, however, suffer a great disappointment in this world and the world to come. Unfortunately if they are not stopped, we all will pay a great price in treasure and freedom.
America needs moral restoration. This can only be accomplished through the prayers and actions of those rooted in the Judeo-Christian moral absolutes on which our Nation was founded.
