Obama Brings on the Change

Remember the good old days before the election when everyone was busy comparing Bush to Hitler, and there were countless discussions about how Republicans were subverting the constitution with the Patriot Act, etc?

Well, all that’s changed.  President Demigod Messiah Barack Jesus Superman Obama has really gotten the ball rolling.  Only a few months into his term, and let’s take a look at just some of the ‘change’:

He’s pushing for mandatory public service in the form of the GIVE act. What’s that you ask?

On March 18, Rep. George Miller, a Democrat from California, tacked an amendment on H.R. 1388, entitled “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act,” or GIVE (to government), Obama’s plan to require mandatory service for all able young people. Miller’s amendment will “prohibit organizations from attempting to influence legislation; organize or engage in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes; and assist, promote, or deter union organizing.

What about that pesky First Amendment?  You know, the one that says:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Now Obamachrist is seeking expanded powers to seize troubled companies.

The Obama administration is considering asking Congress to give the Treasury secretary unprecedented powers to initiate the seizure of non-bank financial companies, such as large insurers, investment firms and hedge funds, whose collapse would damage the broader economy, according to an administration document.

I’ll take my fascism with a side of Second Amendment please.
