When are you going to learn?

So it has come to light that Sen. Dodd has received the most contributions from AIG than any other politician. And of course, we all know that Sen. Dodd is the one who wrote the 'Amendments' to allow the paying of bonuses in the recent 'Spending Bill'. So what does that tell all of you Left-Wing nut jobs? Is that what you wanted? I always hear you guys saying that Right-Winged politicians are only looking out for the "Rich Guy" and the Dem's take care of "My People". Whatever! Let me give it to you straight! There are very few politicians, left or right, that have your best interest at heart. Our government is set up to make you more poor and them and theirs richer! We need a Revolution and it doesn't have to be a violent one. We need to seek out leaders that are real leaders! Leaders who will resist the temptation to "Sell-Out" when they get to Washington! I contend that we should wipe it clean and start from scratch. Start looking in your community for that leader! Start looking for values in life! Start looking to yourself and put your hand back in your pocket and stop 'expecting' handouts! As long as you think the government owes you something the more they will lead you to think they are giving it to you! It's a game of power to them! It's time to take the power back people! WAKE UP!!!!!

H.R. 1586 - This bill should scare you!

H.R. 1586: To impose an additional tax on bonuses received from certain TARP (AIG) recipients, better known as the Government partisipating in a little CYA! This Bill was put together and flew through the House in a blink of an eye. Don't get me wrong...I think that companies who receive TARP money should act financialy and morally responsible (AIG), something the government should have thought of before they crammed that bail-out down our throats! And it appears they did....Chris Dodd! Enough about the he said she said crap. I want to talk about this Bill.


Last week the speed limit on my road was 25 mph and it was recorded daily...(bare with me). I never went over the speed limit but last week a squirell darted out to grab another nut and got ran over by my blue suv. Well, because of that squirells untimely death, the government decided that the speed limit on my road should be 20 mph instead of 25 and that everyone who drove blue suv's at the posted speed limit of 25 mph last week will be ticketed for violating the new 20 mph limit.


The Senate passed a bill that punishes persons for acts they committed that were at the time not illegal and also singles out a certain class (Profile) of people all of which are unconstitutional.


U.S. Constitution Article 1, Section 9:
No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

Attainder: In the context of the Constitution, a Bill of Attainder is meant to mean a bill that has a negative effect on a single person or group (for example, a fine or term of imprisonment). Originally, a Bill of Attainder sentenced an individual to death, though this detail is no longer required to have an enactment be ruled a Bill of Attainder

ex post facto: Formulated, enacted, or operating retroactively. From what is done afterwards.

Why stop there? It seems the government thinks they are above what we were founded on and can change the laws at will. Scary, don't you think?
