Our fictitious character Garth in Wayne’s World, summed it all up in this 1992 classic comedy/ parody/ music hit movie, by stating “We Fear Change”, when approached by Benjamin about changing their show. Those of us that fear change, in a traditional sense will probably never get anywhere, but then there is change that is harmful.
Change comes to us all in one form or another, sometimes by our own choice, sometimes not, it is the sometimes not, that we have a hard time dealing with and when we live in a country that we are able to vote our conscience, we sometimes find ourselves on the losing end of who or what was voted in, and we learn to live with it, to a point.
Thankfully our government is set up so we get another shot at changing what we don’t like at periodic intervals and if things go south, we have recourse. Here’s the change I fear if we remain on this present course. Here goes….
Out of control spending, (massive stimulus bill) and the thinking that throwing money at a problem is going to fix it, more spending coming if the Health Care bill were to pass, Cap and Tax (Trade), same thing, as it will punish industries and individuals that are already struggling and does nothing to promote economic growth.
By the way, the power hungry EPA has the authority to enforce Cap and Trade even if it does not pass, and they could have regulation over all bodies of water, as the term navigable was removed from the original mandate for the EPA and put into a new bill presented last fall. See Your Fish Pond Needs Regulation, here on site.
Now they are talking about a jobs bill in the works, which is just another stimulus spending bill in disguise. Even if the money in this bill goes where it is supposed to, it is only going to benefit labor unions and present government jobs, and these people already have the best wages and benefits as it is.
Lack of border security and the possibility of amnesty to millions of illegals, which goes against our present laws, is failing to protect American citizens, the Democrats would love to get their hands on this voter block. The porous border is a possible road for terrorists that want to enter our country and we need to know who is coming across, this is a change that needs to take place and lack of action by this administration is a change to fear.
I would also like to see a change in the arrogant, smug, non listening, and demeaning, no care attitude that that is characteristic of this administration, with Pelosi being the chief offender. With their push to pass Health Care so fast, they were just not listening to what most Americans want improvement in, which is the economy and jobs.
With all these so called good for the country things, it is definitely the wrong direction and this nearly total takeover of private industries, (banks, Wall Street, Chrysler, GM, to name a few) and then want to control and monopolize the Health Care system, it is too much government intrusion and these are some of the reasons there is no growth economically. Ford has reported a profit and had refused a government handout.
It is really our sovereignty which is at stake here, all this erodes at our freedoms and puts us into a dependent upon government mentality (those that would let it happen) which takes away from individual motivation, personal integrity and drive. It promotes an attitude of not my responsibility which just perpetuates a no care and no motivation mindset, and takes away thinking for ourselves, which is the way the Leftists in power would like it.
The bggest change that I don’t like and alarms me the most is the ignoring and total disregard of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, darn it! those pesky documents that keeps us from progressing to whatever wonderful society socialism brings.
So, a classic scene takes place at the beginning of Wayne’s World, where Garth is getting his hair on his melon cut by the Suck Kut machine being demonstrated by a ‘sponsor’ in which Garth ends up Screaming “Turn it off, turn it off, you’re sucking my will to live!”
May our government not be the Suck Kut machine and suck the life out of us, sometimes it feels that way.
