And it came to pass in the Age of Obomination that the people of
the land called America , having lost their morals, their work
initiative, and their will to defend their liberties, chose as their
Supreme Leader that person known as "The One."
He emerged from the vapors with a message that had no meaning;
but He hypnotized the people, telling them, "I am sent to save you. My
lack of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous ego, and my
association with evil doers are of no consequence. For I shall save you
with Hope and Change. Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the land
that he who preceded me is evil, that he has defiled the nation, and
that all he has built must be destroyed."
And the people rejoiced, for even though they knew not what "The
One" would do, he had promised that he would bring change, and they
proclaimed, "Yes, We Can."
And "The One" said "We live in the greatest country in the
world. Help me change everything about it!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Change is good!"
Then He said, "We are going to tax the rich fat-cats." ---- And
the people said "Sock it to them!" ---- and "Redistribute their wealth."
And then He said, "Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody."
And the people said, "Show us the money!"
And Joe the plumber asked, "Are you kidding me? You're going to
steal my money and give it to the deadbeats??"
And "The One" ridiculed and taunted him, and Joe's personal
records were hacked, publicized, and ridiculed; though no crime could be
found.
One lone reporter asked, "That shouldn't be; isn't that Marxist
policy?"
And she was banished from the kingdom!
Then a citizen asked, "With no foreign relations experience and
having zero military experience or knowledge, how will you deal with
radical terrorists?"
And "The One" said, "Simple. I shall sit with them and talk
kindly to them and show them how nice we really are; and they will
forget that they ever wanted to kill us all!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah!! We are safe at last, and we
can beat our weapons into free cars for the people!"
Then "The One" said, "I shall give 95% of you lower taxes."
And one, lone voice said, "But 40% of us don't pay ANY taxes."
So "The One" said, "Then I shall give you some of the taxes the
fat-cats pay!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Show us the money!"
Then "The One" said, "I shall tax your Capital Gains when you
sell your homes!"
And the people yawned and the already slumping housing market
fully collapsed.
And He said, "I shall mandate employer-funded health care for
EVERY worker and raise the minimum wage, and lower the white collar
wage. And I shall also give every person unlimited healthcare and
medicine and even transportation to the free clinics."
And the people said, "Give me some of that!"
Then he said, "I shall penalize employers who ship jobs overseas."
And the people said, "Where's my rebate check?"
Then "The One" said, "I shall bankrupt the coal industry, and
perhaps even the oil industry (Cap & Trade/Carbon Tax). And though
electricity rates will skyrocket, we shall shun dangerous nuclear power (nuclear power is only good for Iran)
we, on the other hand, shall build safe wind farms and safe
solar power stations and drive safe green cars that I shall mandate from Detroit !"
And the people said, "Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! Nuclear is dangerous. No nuclear.
But we don't care for that part about higher electric rates."
So "The One" said, "Not to worry. If your rebate ($10/week)
isn't enough to cover your extra expenses ($3,000/year), we shall bail
you out. Just sign up with ACORN and your troubles are over! Only the
fat cats will have to pay."
Then He said, "Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted.
Let's grant them amnesty, Social Security, free education, free lunches,
free medical care, bilingual signs and guaranteed housing...."
And the people said, "Hallelujah!!" And they made him King!
And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs
and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers; though
they sold much less of their products.
Others simply gave up and went out of business, and the economy
sank like unto a rock dropped from a cliff. The banking industry was
destroyed. Manufacturing slowed to a crawl. And more of the people were
without a means of support.
So "The One" again blamed the prior administration, extended
unemployment benefits to a year, bailed out his favorite banks, and then
took over the banks and auto industries.
"The One" said, "I am the "The One" - The Messiah - and I'm here
to save you! We shall just print more money so the government will have
enough! Surely one trillion dollars will make everyone happy."
And immediately the Fed complied and the money presses roared.
And China reconsidered their one trillion dollars of loans to
the US , and threatened to call in their debts.
Other foreign trading partners said unto "The One," "Wait a
minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung! You will have to
pay more ... for everything ... as your dollar becomes worth less."
And the people said, "Wait a minute. That is unfair!!"
And the world said, "So are these other idiotic programs
you have embraced."
"Lo, you have become a Faciest state and a second-rate power.
What factories are not owned by your government are owned by us. Now you
shall play by our rules!"
And "The One" said, "Americans are arrogant, divisive, and
derisive! We will listen."
And the people cried out, "Alas, alas!! What have we done?"
But yea verily, it was too late. The people eventually set upon
"The One" and spat upon him and stoned him, and his name was dung. But
the once mighty nation was no more; and the once proud people were
without sustenance or shelter or hope. And the Change that "The One"
had given them was as like unto a poison that had destroyed them from
within, and like a whirlwind that consumed all that they had built.
And the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in
anguish, "Give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!!"
But it was too late, and the once-glorious "Home of the Brave
and Land of the Free" was no more.
You may think this is a fairy tale, but it's not. It's happening
RIGHT NOW.... Already.... Everything, down to the preceding paragraph.
