Sign the stimulus package, or the world will end.
"[I]f nothing is done, this recession might linger for years. Our economy will lose 5 million more jobs. Unemployment will approach double digits. Our nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse." - Barack Obama, The Action Americans Need, Washington Post, Feb. 5, 2009, at A17.
Of course, Obama is talking about the proposed stimulus package. If we don't pass the bill, threatens Obama, America may never recover.
So what is so important in this stimulus package that if we fail to approve it, America as we know it will cease to exist? National Review has a detailed list of ridiculous items included in the stimulus package.
If we don't spend $4 billion for job-training programs, including $1.2 billion to provide “youth”
summer jobs for people up to the age of 24, America may sink further into recession.
If we do not spend $50 million for the National Endowment for the Arts, America may never recover.

If we do not spend $87 million for a polar icebreaking ship, America may never recover.
If we do not spend $1 billion for the manufacturing of advanced batteries, America may never recover.
If we do not spend $400 million for hybrid cars for state and local governments, America may never recover.
If we do not spend $600 million to convert federal auto fleet to hybrids, America may never recover.
If we do not spend $650 million for digital TV coupons, including $90 million to educate “vulnerable populations”, America may never recover.
The list goes on and on.
For someone who preaches Hope and Change, this seems like more of the same. And not very hopeful.

Today We Got Proposed To...
...by Barack Obama.
"If you put your trust in me — if you give me 'your hand and your heart' — then that's exactly what I intend to do as your next President."

History 101
For those that don't know about history, here is a condensed version:
Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and would go to the coast and live on fish and lobster in the winter.
The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: 1. Liberals, and 2. Conservatives. Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to B-B-Q at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement. Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly B-B-Q's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. The rest became known as girlie-men. Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided.
Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant.
Liberals are symbolized by the jackass.
Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamers in Hollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big-game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, corporate executives, athletes, Marines, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America . They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.
Here ends today's lesson in world history. It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above history lesson. A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that they will immediately inform other true believers and more liberals just to tick them off.
And there you have it.
Let your next action reveal your true self...
