The usurpers probably want you to believe the "stimulus" bill was passed so quickly our legislators didn't realize what was in it. That's less damning than their willful passage of the indefensible mischief the bill contains. Have you seen just how specific it is in its allocations of money and who is benefiting? Please follow the money.

As our federal government marches ever closer to socialism and Marxism, we might remind ourselves that nearly every dictator in the world is an ardent proponent of those systems. Socialism and Marxism, by definition, cannot come about without major consolidations of power in the central government.

These consolidations, which are invariably sold as democratic and compassionate governments for the benefit and security of the people, result in tyranny and wholesale subjugation of the people. In the name of compassion, or economic stimulus, the federal government gets its tentacles into our local business and begins to micromanage our lives from Washington, whether in education, commerce or even executive salaries for private corporations.

Who knows, the usurpers might even have the audacity to try to micromanage decisions of local governments once they dole out money they steal from taxpayers and their offspring to fund this stimulus ruse.

Oh, I almost forgot: President Obama already told the nation's mayors that if they waste the money he is philanthropically bestowing upon them, he "will call them out on it and use the full power of (his) office and … administration to stop it."

I suppose one man's super watchdog is another's super-duper tyrant.
