Hi and Good Afternoon, I am Chaplain Ayesha Kreutz you know one of those angry racist tea partiers that the liberal media loves to hate.
In March of this year, during a victory interview the socialist congressman John Dingel from the late Great state of Michigan, home of recently nationalized Government Motors, had something very revealing to say about the health care bill and why it doesn’t get its claws fully in control of our flesh until 2014. He said: “The harsh fact of the matter is that when you are going to pass legislation that will cover 300 million American people in different ways. It takes a long time to do the necessary administrative steps to put the legislation together to control the people.” Did you get that?
He was saying that it will take some time to get the bureaucracies in place that will control the people.
I’m not sure what country he’s from or what country the president’s from, but I don’t remember the people of the United States crying out that they wanted the government to control them.
Do you want to be controlled by the government? Me neither. I don’t want to be controlled.
It actually seems to me that everything the Obama regime and his team of power-hungry Social Democrats does and plans to do in the future is about getting control of the people. As we all know, the Health care take over is nothing more a scheme to eliminate the insurance industry through regulation, then take it over by putting everyone on Medicare and Medicaid- the largest deniers of health care and then controlling every aspect of our lifestyle by threatening to withhold healthcare from those who don’t live properly. Me, I like salt and tasty foods and hey if you want to have a cigar and a glass of wine so be it. All I know is I don’t want to be controlled.
Another thing that’s on deck is the Cap and Tax bill, which will use junk science as an excuse to impose tens of thousands of taxes and regulations on energy exploration and consumption. If this passes, it will devastate us. Our dollar, already under pressure from the trillions of borrowing to fund the Obama Regime, will become even more devalued as the cost of oil is purposely increased. Oil, being a component in the cost of anything we buy or use will cause hyperinflation when its price skyrockets, and the value of the fixed incomes of our retired folks will decrease due to this resulting hyperinflation.
President Reagan often reminded us that it was Lenin who used to brag that government-caused inflation was the easiest way to increase taxes.
But that’s not enough for the Obama Regime. They want to accelerate this hyperinflation by using some global warming junk science to demand more taxes on these already high priced commodities. Increasing the cost of oil will only cause us to use less of it, and the result will be less travel, colder homes and an inevitable decrease in lifestyle. The Obama regime wants to control how much energy we use. Me, I don’t want to be controlled.
Speaking of man made global warming, what a joke. The Obama regime wants us to believe that farting cows and Carbon Dioxide causes the atmosphere to warm. It doesn’t. Water vapor in the atmosphere causes the air to hold heat and it doesn’t take a genius to know that. That’s why you hook a humidifier to your furnace and not something that pumps out Carbon Dioxide. Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant. Instead it is one of the main ingredients in plant photosynthesis. Carbon Dioxide, Water, sunlight and Chlorophyll yield Oxygen for us to breath and plant sugars for us to eat. It’s an absolute necessity in the cycle of life. Yet the liberals who run the government-run education system- if you can still call it that- want our children to fear and hate Carbon Dioxide as if it were Mother Nature’s kryptonite. It is all just another way to regulate and control everyone. They want us to believe Government is our God.
Me, I don’t want to worship government and I won’t be controlled.
Now I believe a good education creates exceptional citizens intelligent enough to live in a free country. Education is the ultimate eradication tool for poverty and financial illiteracy. Any government responsible for this government-run school system boondoggle should have too much shame to even suggest they should be in charge of our health care system. Think about it, we have put more money after more money after more money into this joke, and all we ever get is lower test scores and complaints about how class size needs to be smaller and that there isn’t enough money. How about this. Try something different. Test the teachers ability to teach, fire the ones that aren’t good and make class size larger, only keeping the most capable teachers, and return to the mentor system. Maybe children could then get an education.
As it stands, we get graduates who are functionally illiterate and who have to take remedial courses once they get to college. The unspoken secret is that they want graduates to be functionally illiterate because those who know how to read and actually do read, end up becoming conservatives. But Liberal illiterates are easier to control. Me I don’t want to be controlled.
On top of that the Obama regime has nationalized the college student loan system. As Senator Lamar Alexander noted, the government will borrow money from China for 2.8% interest, lend it to American students for 6.8% interest, and use the 4% difference to fund his healthcare takeover. This plays right into the previously passed Give Act HR 1388, which creates mandatory service for our youth who get student loans from the government, which is now the only way for them to get a student loan. His goal is to create a domestic peoples army of community agitators that work for the president directly. With both Health Care and Student loans nationalized, do not think for a second that Obama’s drive towards totalitarian Fascism slash communism isn’t breaking the speed of sound. He wants to control the beliefs and actions of students whose families aren’t fortunate enough to have the money to pay the ever-increasing costs of Big Education. Me, I don’t want to be controlled, and I don’t want my daughters being controlled either.
All of these things just equal Big Government and Deficit Spending So STOP SPENDING!
If we let this nonsense stand, and if we go quietly into America’s Sunset without fighting to stop this, the government will then legalize the illegal aliens, turn the United States into a one party welfare state, take our guns, slam us a with huge value added tax and control us absolutely.
That we are standing here athwart history yelling “STOP” is what Ronald Reagan would call Morning in America.
Lets each commit to finding a person, anyone, someone you know or a random stranger, and from now until November, educate them on the facts. Tell them about socialism and communism, and their common consequence of totalitarianism that they share. Totalitarianism is what it takes to make a socialist command economy work. But it only works until it collapses. This country does not want or need anymore bailouts or giveaway programs We want FREEDOM! And we will hold you all accountable and not vote for any person party or program that continues to tax us and enslave us. Me I am yelling STOP now. I’m sick of a big government that wants me to be controlled.
Let me leave you with one last thought. It comes from Patrick Henry. During the revolutionary days he said: “Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”

Ten Tax Facts for Tax Day Tea Parties 03/31/2009 http://www.ipi.org/
President Barack Obama and the U.S. Congress have gone on a spending and debt spree that the country cannot afford. As a result, a spontaneous grassroots movement is emerging from every corner of the nation with a message for Congress and the president:
Stop spending us into an inevitable spiral of debt and higher taxes … now!To that end, groups of Americans will be meeting in towns and cities across the nation on April 15 for “Tax Day Tea Parties” (think Boston Tea Party, not biscuits and fine English china).
These “Ten Tax Facts” are our effort to make sure the American people are well- informed as they gather together to express their concern about the direction Washington is headed.
#1 .Under the Obama budget, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projects that the national debt will double over the next five years; and it will triple over the next 10 years to $17.3 trillion.
#2. Under the Obama budget, CBO projects that the national debt will soar over the next 10 years from 40 percent of GDP today to a shocking 82.4 percent. (Ronald Reagan left office with the national debt at 42 percent of GDP).
#3. The president’s budget also states that total federal borrowing will grow by $2.7 trillion this year alone, an increase of 27 percent in one year!
#4. The budget President Obama proposes for this year increases federal spending by an incredible 34 percent over the previous year, with a total of $4 trillion in federal spending, the highest ever.
#5. The federal budget deficit (not the national debt) would reach $1.845 trillion this year, according to the CBO, the highest ever. That would be more than seven times Reagan’s largest budget deficit of $221 billion, which caused so much consternation among Reagan’s critics.
#6. The CBO estimates that this Obama budget deficit will total an astounding 13.1 percent of GDP, more than one-eighth of the entire U.S. economy, for the federal budget deficit alone! Under George Bush, the federal deficit for 2008 was 3.2 percent of GDP. The deficit for fiscal year 2007, in the last budget adopted when Congress was controlled by Republican majorities, was $162 billion, or 1.2 percent of GDP.
#7. The Obama budget also includes $1 trillion in tax increases on the upper 5 percent of income earners, mostly tax rate increases. But the top 5 percent of income earners already pays 60 percent of all income taxes.
#8. The Obama budget projects that revenues from the corporate income tax will more than double in 3 years, increasing, in fact, by more than 124 percent.
#9. Another $645 billion tax increase comes from President Obama’s anti-global warming cap and trade system, which is essentially an energy tax on the production and use of carbon energy, such as oil, natural gas, and coal.
#10. While the Obama administration claims to have cut $2 trillion from the budget over 10 years, fully $1.5 trillion of those “cuts” actually represents the troop drawdown in Iraq, which was already scheduled to occur under the Bush administration. Of the remaining $500 billion in budget “savings,” fully $311 billion is categorized as “interest savings” but is actually an additional tax increase on upper income earners.It’s not as if you can’t stimulate economic growth while at the same time cutting government spending. President Reagan did it. Reagan adopted budget cuts soon after he entered office equal to close to 5 percent of the federal budget at the time. Even with his defense buildup, total federal spending declined from a high of 23.5 percent of GDP in 1983 to 21.3 percent in 1988 and 21.2 percent in 1989. That’s a 10 percent real reduction in the size of government relative to the economy. Reagan’s policies conquered inflation and started a 25-year period of economic growth, which would look awfully good today.

Ten Tax Facts for Tax Day Tea Parties 03/31/2009 http://www.ipi.org/
President Barack Obama and the U.S. Congress have gone on a spending and debt spree that the country cannot afford. As a result, a spontaneous grassroots movement is emerging from every corner of the nation with a message for Congress and the president:
Stop spending us into an inevitable spiral of debt and higher taxes … now!To that end, groups of Americans will be meeting in towns and cities across the nation on April 15 for “Tax Day Tea Parties” (think Boston Tea Party, not biscuits and fine English china).
These “Ten Tax Facts” are our effort to make sure the American people are well- informed as they gather together to express their concern about the direction Washington is headed.

Bushonomics on steroids, Dig your way out of a hole
Before President Bush took office
· The federal government took in $2 trillion in revenue in 2000. In 2009, the federal government is expected to take in $2.4 trillion.
· After eight years under President Bush, the federal government is taking in $400 billion more a year in revenue.
· So why did Congressional Budget Office project a $1.4 trillion deficit for the 2009 budget? Massive spending increases.
· As McClatchy reports "George W. Bush, despite all his recent bravado about being an apostle of small government and budget-slashing, is the biggest spending president since Lyndon B. Johnson.
In fact, he's arguably an even bigger spender than LBJ." McClatchy goes on to detail Bush's spending binge including an 18% increase in education spending, a doubling of agriculture spending, the 2003 Medicare expansion which was the "biggest single expansion in the programs history", and the $295 billion 2005 infrastructure bill.
1. So to recap, in 2000 the federal government spent just $1.8 trillion.
2. Now the CBO estimates that the feds will spend almost double that, $3.5 trillion, in 2009 (and that does not include Obama's Trillion Dollar Debt Plan)
3. Combining the increased $400 billion in revenue with the $1.7 trillion increase in spending, we see that the mountains of debt Obama is whining about inheriting all came from massive increases in federal spending.
It was borrowing and spending that got us into this mess.
When you find yourself in a hole shouldn’t you simple stop digging?

Are we Sheep or men? Do we follow the Obamanus Spendulus pass the pork package which is just Bushonomics on steroids or will we actually demand change?
