The headline of The Washington Times editorial is:
No big government, says The Empty Suit, no earmarks. Well, we’ve all seen just how jam-packed the OhStimulateMeNowYesYESSSSS!! bill is with the latter, and we’ve all seen precisely how Baron Harkonnen-esque these Libtards expect government to get during their tenure. They’re like children in a candy shop, fatass and cavities be damned!
I think of my (few) liberal friends, and I really, REALLY want to ask them what they think of their Savior now, but I don’t…because I know that will be a friendship-ending conversation. My incredulity at their naiveté - their wide-eyed, stiff-nippled complicity in the raping of our country, our children’s future – will transform, Megatron-stylee, into scathing contempt and possibly physical violence.
The question of the hour is What Are We Going To Do About This? Some insist the problem is self-correcting…and I wish them a fine time entertaining the Secret Service.
Contact our Congresspeople? Fat lot of good that does you when their standard answer is “not my problem.”
March in the streets? Well, you know, we have jobs – jobs that pay for our mortgages, thank you – and it is hard to leave them to travel to wherever they’re marching. So not many people show up, the media under-reports it as an added bonus, and we all think there’s not enough others out there who are as outraged, as Fucking Pissed Off, as we are…
So what then? What do we do?? Because I’m ready for any bright idea you might be saving for a rainy day.
I’m wondering how far the zerO can push the axiom of never messing with a man’s woman or his wallet.
I guess that line is squishier than I thought.
Meanwhile, do what you’re doing: raise your kids right and speak up. We haven’t yet suffered unto blood, as did our forefathers. Life, fortune, and sacred honor were on the line for them. We can do no less.
Any “friend” who would agree, however wrongheadedly and soft-heartedly, to the financial pillaging of my home and my children can not stand with me in my hour of need. Therefore, what does it afford me to preserve a semblance while the reality is crushing my family?

I wouldn’t be too sure about your Lib friends.
Stu works at an advertising agency in downtown Chicago. As you can imagine, it is a hotbed of Liberalism. (Stu keeps his politics to himself. He’s like a spy in enemy territory…)
Anyway, he said yesterday that he’s amazed at the turnaround of the Obama worshippers in his office.
Turns out they were kind of fond of their 401(k) money after all….

I believe that Jana is right. The yuppified generation, who voted for The One to be “part of the moment” did not think about their 401K’s when they entered the voting booth.
They’re thinking about it now as they fret over possibly having to give up Starbuck’s.

There is nothing that awakens more drowsy eyes to the value of liberty (and without economic liberty there is no social liberty) than to have liberty imperiled.
Approach liberal friends. Perhaps seeing what having their wishes come to fruition actually means has given them fresh sight.
