Are Democrats dragging America over the cliff?

In my December 31 post, I did my best not to be pessimistic as we headed into 2009. President Obama had not yet been inaugurated and I sincerely wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, despite my strong reservations about how I figured he would translate his radical beliefs into public policy. So I gathered a few quotes as watchwords and tried to be cautiously optimistic.

The last month, however, has proven accurate my forboding.

In just 23 days, President Obama and Congressional Democrats have taken every opportunity to quickly weaken, undermine, and “remake” America into a faltering doppelganger of European timidity.

  • Issued order to close Guantanamo
  • Abased himself on Al-Arabiya
  • Dropped the charges against the USS Cole bomber
  • Moved the Census into the White House
  • Cabinet appointments who were ethical trainwrecks & tax cheats: Bill Richardson, Timothy Geithner, Tom Daschle, Nancy Killefer, Hilda Solis, Rahm Emanuel
  • Put forth a staggering $3.27 trillion expansion of federal government under a “stimulus” euphemism

Read through these again and see if you don’t agree that we are facing the very circumstances our forefathers warned us against.

“Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.” ~ Frederick Douglass

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” ~ Edmund Burke

“If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” ~ Samuel Adams

“The attempt to make heaven on earth invariably produces hell.” ~ Karl Popper

“Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined.” ~ Patrick Henry, Virginia’s Ratification convention, 1788

The stimulus bill has not yet been passed. There’s still time to stop it.
