Your Freedom is Decreasing Rapidly

The following is a piece written by my friend, Steve Conlon. It is posted here with his kind permission and appears as written without changes (beyond formating).

I have I've done a great deal or research on the Weimar Republic recently
because with this government spending I fear massive inflation. And as
an amateur economist by training - and one who knows that the
democrats are now the party of Karl Marx who are not going to give
anyone tax breaks with the tax bill the House just passed called Cap &
Trade - I have been searching for what triggered that inflation. What
I have tripped upon is a course on the Nazi Party's infancy from
before WW I, through the Treaty of Versailles, to the propaganda that
led them from less than 4% of the vote in 1928 to 37% of the vote in
1932. The parallels to their rise to power and its abuse are ominous
with regard to the current administration.

No, the Democrats are not Nazis. HOWEVER, they are drunk on power and
using every single method of propaganda to win elections that the
Nazis dreamed up under Goebbals and Goering. Lies, lies, and BIGGER
LIES! They just voted to regulate your life more than ever before and
never even read the bill they passed as it was impossible to do so.

I'm a registered Independent. At this point, every American has to
wake up and chose between being a patriot or being a democrat. They
just threw down the gauntlet and voted to steal a good deal of your
liberty as well as a large amount of your money. This is our darkest
moment.

John Locke, who had a great influence on the Framers of the
Constitution, would be calling for a revolution now as they have
fulfilled his 5 criteria for when the people must take their
government back or become enslaved by it.

Below is a commentary by radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt. It comes on
a day when Iran's Ahmadinejad has called Obama an embarrassment, and
that his next 4 years will see an even tougher stance against America.
We are in dire times and we are led by a weakling who is trying to
involve government in every aspect of your life. For example, in the
Cap & Trade bill you will have the government inspect your home for
energy efficiency when you sell it and be assessed a fee for the
degree to which it fails. New homes will have an immediate mandated
increase of 30% more energy efficiency, so your 10 year old home will
significantly fail the test and be assessed a fee to bring it up to
"standards." That is likely in the tens of thousands of dollars. The
average home now built the day the bill is signed will have to meet a
30% increase in efficiency and in 5 years that number will be 70% more
efficient. The 30% increase has been implemented in California and it
is killing their building and sales, yet it is going to be
nationalized as law. The logic of this move cannot be found. It is
about attaining even more power over the citizenry.

I'm getting damn fed up with this mistake of a president stealing my
freedom, because without property rights you have no freedom. And to
assess you money on your home, on your energy use, and interfere with
your relationship with your doctor to receive health care, you are
less free than you were the moment he signs this bill.

You should be as disgusted as I am. I hope that you are and that you
will forward this message. Your children are never going to know the
freedom that was bought and paid for in buckets of blood throughout
our history as one lone interloper who can't apologize enough for
America thinks he is "the gift" (it's what he stated to Senator Harry
Reid) that is to save our nation. Having never succeeded in any
endeavor in his life before this, 52.7% of the American electorate
were fooled into thinking he knew what he was doing. I hope it is
abundantly clear to all by now that this is not the "CHANGE" they
thought was coming. Obama is a Clear and Present Danger to your
liberty and he has no intention off stopping his involvement in your
life.

Voting For Economic Suicide
Posted by: Hugh Hewitt at 10:04 PM

They could not have read the bill.

A 300 page amendment to a bill that greatly impacts every American and
greatly burdens every American business was introduced at 3:00 AM
Friday and passed 16 hours later.

The spectacle of the House voting for a massive tax increase and a 300
page amendment they could not have read is a low point for
post-segregationist Congresses. Never have so few read so little
about so important a proposal, and yet brazen forward oblivious to the
deeply embarrassing charade it presents to the world. Banana
republics make a better show of governing themselves than did the U.S.
House of Representatives today.

The only good thing about this disaster for the country's reputation
is the undeniable message it sends to voters about just how hard left
the Democrats are and at the same time just how irresponsible the
Obama/Pelosi/Reid majority is. Not only does today's debacle
strengthen the case for a massive course correction and return to
balance in D.C. in 2010, it also should increase resistance to the
similarly radical attempt to remake American medicine into a
single-payer, government-dominated, Canada-style plan. A majority so
obviously indifferent to the substance of "legislation" they pass
should not be trusted with the medicine that Americans need to live
well and long.

The country knows the Obama/Pelosi/Reid Democrats are drunk on power
and lurching so far to the left as to stun even partisan Democrats.
The Senate may stop this attempt at economic suicide, but independents
and Republicans cannot allow the public to forget the recklessness of
today's abdication of responsibility by the hard left House
leadership.
