Welcome to the death of Democracy and Capitalism!!

Why do I think that we may be near the end of Democracy and Capitalism?? Well let's take a look at recent events and then you decide.
1. There was a supposed housing crisis, that was actually caused by people living beyond there means and banks allowing them to do it. Of course that was dictated by Barney Franks and the House Finance Committee that told the banks they have to give HALF of their housing loans to Low Income Families.

That would not have done it if that were all that had happened. But in order to make that happen "The Barney SHOW" and the housing lenders got creative and decided to offer a new deal, the "sub-prime loan". this means that you buy a house that you normally couldn't afford but the banks are gonna help you out.

How? you only have to pay 2 or 3 percent interest per month on that loan (for the first five years that is) after that you have to pay that mortgage at 7.5 -9 percent in some cases in order to make up the difference that you were not paying for that first five years. Oh Yeah, and while you weren't PAYING that interest in the beginning, it was still accumulating.

So naturally when these people that bought all of these homes under this plan had to face the music and start paying a mortgage that had doubled or more OVER NIGHT they couldn't and had to sell or get foreclosed. That caused the banks to move to the edge of collapse, but only the ones that took part in that deal. To include the banks that traded and sold those mortgages like stock when they new that those loans were RADIOACTIVE to start with.

In most of those cases the banks knew that the borrower was not going to be able to afford that house even after five years and some "FORE CASTED RAISES" that might come. They did it anyway, all at the behest of the "Barney Show". President Bush, Senator McCaine , Ben Bernake and others all tried to tell MR FRANKS that the banking industry and housing market in particular needed to be better regulated because of what was happening and what was coming.

MR FRANKS said "the housing market is doing well, there is no problem. why would I listen you, you're trying to scare the people into believing the sky is falling." And he did nothing to stop it. Then when it happened, he blamed President Bush and the Republicans in office.

But don't worry, here comes the LIBERALS (SOCIALISTS) to save the day. With control of congress and backing from the white house (PRES BUSH) they spent 750 BILLION dollars to prop up these banks that had done this instead of letting the market decide which banks should survive and which should fail. Originally the 750 billion was so that our government could buy the "TOXIC" loans from the banks, let the owners stay in their homes and renegotiate the loan to make it affordable. After Paulson received the money instead of doing that he gave it to the banks.

In that moment the banks that took government money became government owned. the new President came into office and took off as fast as he could to make sure that he achieved his objectives of DICTATORSHIP. He fired CEOs of companies, came up with a "stress test" to see if the banks were financially sound and when his minions decided that they weren't made them take more money thereby increasing his control over them.

2. He then turned his eyes toward the auto industry because they too were in trouble and they too were too big to fail. He gave them A LOT of money (except FORD, WAY TO GO FORD) and now is trying to mandate what type of vehicles they produce because now they have government money and they have to listen. Do you remember that the SOCIALISTS in office right now said that because they gave bail out money to the banks and auto industry that now the government gets to appoint board member to those companies? and the company doesn't have a choice. Welcome to RUSSIA folks!

3. Now he has the following things on his agenda; HEALTH CARE, that's a nightmare and oh yeah, the DEATH PANEL that SARAH PALIN was criticized for pointing out, IT'S STILL IN THE DRAFT THAT PASSED THE SENATE. I guess she isn't such a nut after all.

4. Then there is CAP and TRADE. if you do not know about this folks, READ UP ON IT! it will cause all of our electric bills to double every month. If you think its hard to pay now, just wait, it can get worse!!

5. Then there is the so called "SMART GRID" electrical transmission upgrade. But this is more than an upgrade. With this the government will put a digital box in your home where your thermostat is now and when the grid is complete and the monitoring computers are online "to test the system for reliability" the government will be able to see what your air conditioning is set on and if they think you are using to much electricity they will turn it off for you. REMOTELY and if you turn it back on before they want you to then you get a huge fine. But that applies to the heater and winter time as well. All of those people in the northern states that get a lot of snow might be in trouble come winter time.

6. Now we hear that the MR Obama wants to pass "NET NEUTRALITY" laws and the FCC wants to tax the Internet purchases you make. The net neutrality laws are like the Fairness Act only on the net. If they don't like what you have to say they can make you stop saying it and if you don't they can fine you or put you in jail.

7. ALL of this is happening right under your noses and if we do not stand up to these people and fight back we may not be able to in the very near future. What happens when they come and try to take our guns. Do you give them up and get led to the slaughter like a lamb?

NOT ME DAMN IT!!!

The only way they are taking what is legally and rightfully mine is out of my cold dead hand after I have emptied all of my ammo protecting freedom!!! I am a soldier and a PATRIOT and my oath of office says to "Protect and Defend the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES against ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC!!

What are you as an American going to do to protect what our founding fathers fought and died for? What are you going to do to protect the freedoms that so many of our men and women in uniform have laid down their lives and shed blood and tears for over the last 260 years?

What are we as TEXANS going to do to insure that we do not lose what OUR founding fathers, men like Stephen F. Austin, William B. Travis, Davy Crockett, Sam Houston and Jim Bowie, fought to insure for us. We have faced a battle with a stronger, bigger nation in the past, and we sent Santa Anna back home to Mexico with his tail between his legs. Let us hope it doesn't come to that again. But remember this; WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO OUR FORE FATHERS AND GRAND CHILDREN ALIKE TO PROTECT AND DEFEND TO THE VERY END WHAT WE WERE GIVEN SO THAT WE CAN PASS IT ON TO THE NEXT GENERATION OF FREE MEN!!!

There are things that our state government can do to stop the madness from spilling over into our sovereign state lands. We as voters just have to make our voices heard, and if Washington doesn't listen then Austin will and we can once again become THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS!! CALL YOU CONGRESSMEN, CALL YOUR SENATOR AND DEMAND THAT THEY STOP THIS MADNESS!!! If they can't or won't the tell your local state rep how you feel. make sure that our voices are heard by our leaders in Austin and let them know that we do not want what the rest of the country is doing.
