Wouldn't our forefathers be proud?

I suspect that right now George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson are whirling in their graves so fast we could use them in place of electric fans. Perhaps that is the green parties next move to save our energy costs.

What is this malarky about a "Smart Energy Grid"? They have added a PC friendly sounding name to a dark purpose yet again. After all, who wants a dumb enery grid? Me, for one, when a smart one means that the government gets to decide how hot or cold my home should be! That is what your "Smart Energy Grid" is going to do. If this passes, the utility companies will come to your house and install a "Smart Thermostat". This smart thermostat can be remotely controlled by the energy companies, under government regulation, to reset the temperature of your home. If you remove the smart thermostat you will be fined or have your power shut off. Does ANY of this REEK of 1984???!!!!! Wake up America!

What about our illustrious president passing a punitive tax on the folks at AIG? As a consultant and a small business owner, I know that you work long and hard to negotiate salary deals. If these people negotiated a deal prior to receiving the bail out funds then by gosh they should receive them. (Bail out funds they never should have gotten in the first place. But then Mr. Frank and his buddies would have lost their retirement funds and we can't have congress without a retirement fund. How will they ever survive on their pawltry fortunes.) The supreme court says it cannot do anything about this bill that was passed, which clearly violates the constitution, unless someone challenges it. Where the heck are the Republicans! Challenge this thing already! Quit worrying about your frigging poll numbers and DO WHAT IS RIGHT! The sixteenth amenment states that all taxes must be uniformly placed by geographic region. You cannot single out one group of people to punitively tax! That is why we left England in the first place you twit! (Not you, the twits in congress.)

There is a story my ethics professor told me in college. If you drop a frog into hot water he will jump right out. If you put him in cold water and slowly heat it up, he will sit there and boil to death. My question for you is this. How much are you going to take before you get fed up with Big Brother removing your rights one by one? We are moving toward Socialism, not at a radical pace, but slowly, stealthily. Will you jump or boil?
