Where are we going?

This is a critical time for America and we, the average men and women, have to really be aware of what is happening. I see the current administration as a real threat to our freedoms. The Bush admin doesn't get a free pass, either; they started some of the financial problems and started the trend of spending, spending, spending. The Obama admin has just taken it into warp speed.
Have you ever asked yourself why everything they are trying to push on us is a "crises" and must be done "now"? He can take months to discuss the request of his leader in Afghanistan, but his spending programs must be passed immediately. They keep putting more and more in the pipeline, hoping to keep us confused and uninformed, while meeting behind closed doors to push their agenda through.
I wish we could get a law passed which would prohibit congress from adding totally irrelevant addendums to huge bills so they can sneak them through without any discussion or transparency.
As for freedom under attack, when Humana put out a letter to their senior policy-holders explaining how the health care bill could affect them, the administration issued a cease and desist letter to Humana, basically telling them to shut up. When Fox News broke stories about Acorn, and Van Jones (a self described communist) being high in the administration, the Obama machine attacked Fox, saying they aren't a "legitimate' news agency, and cautioning CNN and others from following Fox' lead with stories deemed harmful to the administration. The truth about issues is not important to them, they seek to curtail free speech in order to keep their image shiny so Americans won't wake up to what is happening.
There are so many things wrong that I could fill a newspaper with articles. What I will try to do is keep you informed here, and with my columns in The Paris News. You can read them at www.theparisnews.com
