02/07/09  The new government stimulus package stumbles forward in the Senate, so huge and pork laden that I doubt anyone actually has read it.  Obama screams that "the sky is falling" every passing day without it, trying his best to create panic, an ancient trick of those trying to grab power and suppress dissent.   Everything about this is the opposite of what should be done under the circumstances to correct the economy and get people back to work.  However, the only beneficiaries of what is about to happen are the politicians who thrive on pork, and the banks who can throw all the politically mandated lending that the politicians are commanding back on the government, which is to say taxpayers and our grandchildren.  This is precisely the same loop that got us to where we are today, and I have contended for years that the foundation of this lunacy was the passage of the 16th Amendment.  Over the years, other political crimes followed on.   Any Republican who votes for the current monstrosity, in any form, should be tarred and feathered.  The matter is literally decades beyond compromise and the dummies just don't get it.   As for Democrats, it's all about a huge power grab and the final cementing of their ancient socialist agenda.  Good-by America, land of the free.  JES

Serious  Considerations:

02/05/09  Launching off under www.FirstThings.us.  A fundamental premise of MountainObserver.us and ConservativeAnswers.com, was wrong.  I have been laboring under the illusion that when push came to shove, there were still a majority of Americans around who would recognize, and vote against, raw socialist Statism.   I was wrong.  At this point it is unclear whether or not the founding premises of the nation can ever be recovered.  To the Mountain Observer it does not look so good right now.   However, genuine conservatism is framed on the foundation of hard facts, and it will not go away.

The current crowd, and the nation they have, and are, creating will at some point come to a crash landing. Some day if there are enough of us still around to pick up the pieces, I would hope my efforts here will be helpful.   Personally, I am at peace with myself.  And I love Jesus Christ, and may he bless the memory of George Washington and his colleagues.  JES.
