#3: Paraconstitutional Activity
Forget “Paranormal Activity”—we’ve got a horror show going on right in our own government:
• Taking over the nation’s largest car companies and banks by tempting them with bailout funds, then tightening the noose and micromanaging them from Washington
• Forcing taxpayers to guarantee virtually all U.S. mortgages and sticking a $5 trillion tab to people who paid their mortgages on time
• Capping executive pay for banks that took bailout money and monitoring executive pay for banks that didn’t take TARP funds
• Imposing cap-and-trade regulations to restrict and tax citizens’ energy use
• Paying car owners to destroy their used automobiles and buy new ones
• Taking over the U.S. health care system and nationalizing the student loan system
• Nominating a Supreme Court justice who believes in ignoring the equal protection offered under the law and considers race and gender in her rulings
• Threatening to violate free speech by regulating the Internet and talk radio to ensure “balanced” views and prevent “irresponsible” content
• Attacking a private news organization for criticizing the administration and threatening its freedom of the press by shutting it out of White House interviews
• Appointing dozens of unaccountable czars to set policy while circumventing Congress’s approval
• Engaging in massive, unprecedented deficit spending to stimulate the economy
Does the suspense of anticipating what leftists will try to do to us ever end?
