Once, We Would Have Called It a Scandal
by Newt Gingrich

There was a time when we would have called it a scandal.

In 1921, oil tycoon Harry Sinclair gave several prize head of cattle and around $269,000 to President Harding's Secretary of the Interior, Albert Fall.

In return, Sinclair got the exclusive rights to drill in an oil field in Wyoming. Sinclair's no-bid contract became the Teapot Dome scandal, the most notorious example of political corruption in America prior to Watergate.

Between 2000 and 2008, the United Auto Workers (UAW) union gave $23,675,562 to the Democratic Party and its candidates.

In 2008 alone, the UAW gave $4,161,567 to the Democratic Party, including Barack Obama.

In return, the UAW received 55 percent of Chrysler and 17.5 percent of GM, plus billions of dollars.

But nobody's calling this a scandal. It's time we start.
2000-2008 UAW Giving: $23.7 million to Democrats. $193,540 to Republicans
The almost $24,000,000 the UAW has given to Democrats since 2000 compares with the $193,540 the union has given to Republicans.

Newt had a great deal more to say. you can read the full article by going to the link below.

I Say

Barack Obama has instituted Fascism in the auto industry by naming a car Czar, who is making decisions outside the purview of any governmental authority in the United States, even the U.S. Supreme Court. He has also named another 15 CZARS overseeing, i.e. controlling, every facet of the American economy. My fellow Americans this is naked Fascism. This is exactly what Adolf Hitler did in 1930s Germany. Hitler took control of the major industries in Germany for the good of the people, and nobody stopped him.

Barack Obama is taking total control of all facets of business in our country under the guise of getting us through this economic tsunami. There is no tsunami at this point. The government is perpetuating these atrocities every single day, and no one is doing anything about it. We should be in Washington walking up and down the street in from of the White House and the capitol building. How can our elected representatives allow the executive branch of government to usurp their power?

The president is allowed under our form of government to have cabinet members who are supposed to be involved in the business of America, but they are required to be approved by a full vote of the Senate, and as such they are required to answer to the Senate. It is one of those balance of power things the founders envisioned us needing to prevent dictatorship by a president drunk with power. This president has done more to trash our constitution, and our way of life in five months that all 43 presidents before him combined! And yet, I still hear Americans, in a majority voicing their satisfaction with the job he is doing!

What in the name of God is wrong with Americans. Our country is falling apart. Our constitution is on fire! It is worth nothing. The Supreme court just yesterday said it was fine by them if the president and his car czar ignore the rule of law, and take the Chrysler bond holders money at the point of a gun! Do you understand what this means? If the president can do this, and the Supreme Court, the House of Representatives, and the Senate sit by and do nothing, what can we do? Only one thing. We have to take control of our government. Short of armed rebellion, which I am not advocating, we have to take to the streets.

There are still elected representatives who want to get reelected. If they see we are going to throw them out starting in November of 2010, they will start to grow a spine. This isn't a democrat republican thing. This is our very country. These are our lives at stake. This is our liberty we are giving up!

If the rule of law can be ignored in the face of the treasurer of the state of Indiana, what can happen to you or me. The government can do anything to us they desire. They could seize your property, your money, your investments, anything they want to take. Nothing is safe. We have to get on board with each other. So many people simply don't know this because the news media is complicit and they are not telling you! Only Foxnews is telling the truth, but by themselves they can't convince the entire country. The liberal mainstream media are in favor of progressive socialism. Obama has gone far beyond that. He has already taken us past Socialism. We are a Fascist country. Right now, today the United States is a Fascist country. If you don't believe me, ask the teachers and policemen from the state of Indiana. Their pensions were seized, and given to the United Auto workers Union. Ask the Chrysler dealers who were robbed of their franchises, and due process of law. Their assets were seized, and given to the dealers who were political favorites of the CAR CZAR! You can't make this stuff up. It is the absolute truth.

It will eventually happen to every single one of us that is not on the right side of the political game. It will come down to who you know, or who you pay to get anything. That's how it worked in Germany. That's how it worked in Russia. That's how it works in Venezuela. That's how it works everywhere people aren't free. We are no longer a nation of free men. We have lost our freedom. We are on our way down the road to starvation. Please wake up. There is a lot more to say. I will say more.
