The Land of the Free

Takes on a new meaning under the current regime doesn’t it?

The land of the free.

Here is what is now free unless you happen to belong to that rapidly dwindling group of unfortunates who still pay taxes:

1.    Birth control of most any sort.  Makes sense when you think of it.  Obama and his fellow travelers have substituted “sex minus conception”  to take your mind off the fact that you can’t afford to send your kids to college; the kids can’t get much of a job anyway with or without a college degree which means they need “sex without conception”  to avoid depressing thoughts about their future and, anybody who still pays taxes, now has a government levied debt burden on them that is so unpayable that they will need to get lost in the temporal joy of “conception free sex”  to make it through the night, or day, depending on their libido preferences.

2.    Free food.  Don’t even need to go through the embarrassment of peeling off the USDA coupons in the checkout lane and incurring the wrath of the few working people behind you who are thinking uncharitable thoughts about your character and your food selections.  Instead, in one of the few federal government examples of streamlining a bureaucracy, the USDA now lets you get a taxpayer funded credit card that you can swipe through the machine just like working people do and get your free victuals and get out of the store with your self esteem intact.  Can't control the borders but a record number of those free food cards are now in circulaiton.

3.    Free democracy for everyone not living in the US of A.  America is delivering free democracy to almost anyone who wants it as long as they are not Saudi potentates -- they don’t want it; Koreans militants -- they don’t want it; Egyptian fundamentalists -- they don’t want it; or weird looking Syrian dictators -- he doesn’t want it.  By the way, do you think this guy Assad maybe had a round or two in the ring with an opponent wielding the “ugly stick?”   America will send its troops and its open checkbook drawn on Chinese banks to anybody else who the soon-to-retire Hillary Clinton deems worthy of a free dose of American democracy.  The kind that is run on money; special interests; corruption and hope.  America’s leaders think buying friends while calling it “democracy” is a good thing.

4.    Free health care if you don’t want to pay for it or can make the case that you can’t pay for it because you cannot get a job or don’t have the discipline needed to show up on time and actually do something that someone else tells you to do.  Health care for freedom loving citizens even with self imposed ailments. Overweight?  Sign up for the package plan -- free food so you can develop diabetes and then free insulin so you can be around to take advantage of the free food deal. 

5.    What else is free?  Well we think pretty soon you will be able to get a free car.  Obama and his UAW run General Motors have developed this thing called the Volt.  It's Obama’s motoring wet dream for your future – not for him mind you; he won’t be tooling around the neighborhood in this POS; but the Volt, even with Obama’s very high gas prices is not selling too well.  It also has a big free coupon attached to it -- $7,500.00 free at the cash register but TheFundamentals thinks they may need to increase the coupon amount.  We predict the coupon will soon cover most of the cost of this Obama dream vehicle.  The announcement should come in late October of this year.

6.    There is a lot of stuff free in the land of the free.  Free housing if you need it; free clothing; free computers; free internet and perhaps the most important gift of all from your government – free time; lots of free time to just hang around and watch TV or look at the girls/boys walking by on the street corner.  That’s what nice about this new land of the free.  You’ve got the time to enjoy it.



What’s also really nice about this free everything idea -- you don’t have to deal with the man.  You don’t have to put up with the man’s demands.  His/her instructions.  Rules.  The heck with them.  All you need do is vote every two or four years for the Free Party candidates (formerly known as Democrats) and, occasionally, spend some time waiting in lines and chatting with an overweight, depressing government employee.  Small price to pay for living in the land of the free, isn’t it?  No wonder so many foreigners are lined up to be new citizens.

Excellent piece by the author, to expose that Freedom is quickly dying out in this world. We are governed as to our choice of everything, health care, light bulbs, what words we can and cannot use, etc. Then by manipuaing the free(ha) market, we are forced to limit out choice of vehicles by the price of gasoline.

Worst of all, people have become so dumbed down by the government school system, another lost freedom of choice there, that they don't even see it happening.

It is possible to be slaves to an entity, like the government. It doesn't have to be a plantation owner Massa, though the mentality is the same.Where will it end? Anarchy perhaps?
