Title: Howard Beale where are You?
Post by: WatchManUSA on August 04, 2009, 06:22:18 PM
We have a situation where our elected Representatives and Senators refuse to listen to their constituents. They seem interested only in telling us how wrong we are on the issues. They preach at us for not being enlightened.
We have an administration who demonstrates almost daily they want to control our lives in every possible way.
The administration seems hell-bent on taking the fruits-of-labor from one group and give it to another group. The administration is spending money as if it grows on trees. The deficit has grown by $1 trillion dollars in just six months.
We have an administration with nearly 35 Czars who have not been elected or even passed by congress for approval. Who needs a cabinet when you can have czars? They have power over out lives yet they have no checks and balances placed on them.
It appeaars we have an Attorney General who wants to take away many Constitutional rights of Americans rather than protect and defend them.
Our elected representatives want to ram all legislation through without paying attention to any of the details. It seems everything must be accomplished RIGHT NOW. They pass bills without reading. They don’t know what is contained in the laws they pass. They repeatedly demonstrate their incompetence as evidenced by the “Cash of Clunkers” program that was ill planned and executed.
They want to re-engineer our healthcare system by increasing access, increasing the number of people insured and provide better care while being deficit neutral. Oh, yah, sure. Since when did we move to utopia?
We have people in power that characterize conservative dissent as an “angry mob” yet people who descent from a liberal point of view described as a “grass-roots effort.”
The administration and congress out-and-out lie to us. When we catch them in the lies they say we misunderstood or tell us that situations have changed and the changes were unforeseen to justify the lies.
We have a main stream media who seem to have become a willing propaganda machine for the administration. They refuse to ask any hard questions of Obamus Maximus, Pelosi and Reed. We are asked to suspend our belief in what we know to be true. The government is getting a free pass from the "free press."
This has many Americans up in arms like Howard Beale in the 1972 movie, Network, saying, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!”

This is what Maximum Berry’s Press Secretary, Robert Gibbs, had to say about people who are at the town hall meetings with members of congress:
BHOs Press Secretary, Gibbs says that our anger is "MANUFACTURED."
Actually, I think he means "Brewed"! Brewing in the hearts and minds of Patriotic Americans who remember back a measly 233 years and the last time the people were underestimated!

I heard Rush talking about this so I decided to check it out first hand.
It seems the White House wants to turn Americans into snitches. You really can't make up this stuff. Things that once seemed to be absurd are now the norm.
Quoting from the White House web site:
“There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.”

Watchman,
The left has owned the press for years (as you know), now they want to own the net (net neutrality) and stifle (censor) all dissent.
1984......?

Sadly it seems it is all too true, Haz. Not just “1984” but I’m also thing about the movie, “Cool Hand Luke.” I think we are being told to get our mind right or we will pay the price when the Chicago Bosses come down on us.
One scene: Captain, Road Prison 36: You run one time, you got yourself a set of chains. You run twice you got yourself two sets. You ain't gonna need no third set, 'cause you gonna get your mind right.
Another scene after Luke makes a run for it: Luke: Don't hit me anymore...Oh God, I pray to God you don't hit me anymore. I'll do anything you say, but I can't take anymore. Boss Paul: You got your mind right, Luke? Luke: Yeah. I got it right. I got it right, boss. (He grips the ankles of the guard) Boss Paul: Suppose you's back-slide on us? Luke: Oh no I won't. I won't, boss. Boss Paul: Suppose you's to back-sass? Luke: No I won't. I won't. I got my mind right. Boss Paul: You try to run again, we gonna kill ya. Luke: I won't, I won't, boss.
