For the weekend, some poignant thoughts from Newt. I just pass
them along as worth a read.
Obama campaigned to end the influence of special interests in
the nation's capital. But as president he's rewarded his political supporters at
the expense of economic recovery in the stimulus bill and paid back his union
allies at the expense of the rule of law in the Chrysler and GM
bankruptcies.
The Obama-Pelosi-Reid team is the most radical group ever to
hold the reigns of American power. Their vision of a high tax, big bureaucracy
Washington-centered system dominated by politicians and leading to a
secular-socialist future will fundamentally challenge America's role as a beacon
of hope, opportunity and freedom."
Barack Obama campaigned as a leader who would bring a new kind
of politics to Washington. Then he used Chicago-style politics - twisting arms
and offering payoffs - to pass one of the largest tax increases in American
history in the cap and trade bill.
When the Left takes for granted the superiority
of big government, We on the Right side of America must argue forcefully for
free enterprise.
