Oy.
And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that
the people of the land called America, having lost their morals,
their 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 it
was good; and they believed.
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 the people said, "Show us
the money!" And then He said, "Redistribution of
wealth is good for everybody" 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 and publicized.
One lone reporter asked, "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 with 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 slumping housing
market collapsed.
And He said, "I shall mandate employer- funded
health care for EVERY worker and raise the minimum wage. And I shall
give every person unlimited healthcare and medicine and
transportation to the 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
electricity rates will skyrocket!" And the people said, "Coal is
dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! But we don't care for that part
about higher electric rates." So "The One" said, "Not to worry. If
your rebate isn't enough to cover your expenses, we shall bail you
out. Just sign up with ACORN and your troubles are over!"
Then He said, "Illegal immigrants feel scorned
and slighted. Let's grant them amnesty,Social Security, free
education, free lunches, free medical care, bi-lingual 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. 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. Then "The One" said, "I am the "The
One" - The Messiah - and I'm here to save you! We shall just print
more money so everyone will have enough!"
But our foreign trading partners said unto Him,
"Wait a minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung! You
will have to pay more..." And the people said, "Wait a minute. That
is unfair!!"
And the world said, "Neither are these other
idiotic programs you have embraced. Lo, you have become a Socialist
state and a second-rate power. Now you shall play by our rules!" And
the people cried out, "Alas, alas!! What have we done?" But yea
verily, it was too late. The people set upon "The One" and spat upon
him and stoned him, and his name was dung. And the once mighty nation
was no more; And the once proud people were without sustenance or
shelter or hope. And the Change "The One" had given them was as like
unto a poison that had destroyed them 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 their homeland was no
more.
You may think this is a fairy tale, but it's not.
It's happening RIGHT NOW
