Much has been said about Barack Hussein Obama's marxist-socialist beliefs.
Hear what "the One" has to say about the Second Amendment.
Obama and Your Rights
It is very telling.

Cycle of Democracy
The following is a famous quote questionably attributed to a great Scot: Alexander Fraser Tyler (1770)a.k.a. Lord Woodhouselee, Scottish professor of history at Edinburgh University
Apt for the times we are living in and possibly more important the times we are heading towards.
Life Cycle Of A Democracy
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over lousy fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average of the world's great civilizations before they decline has been 200 years. These nations have progressed in this sequence:

From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage"

Change is not always progress.
Karl Marx's "10 Planks" to seize power and destroy freedom:
Abolition of Property in Land and Application of all Rents of Land to Public Purpose.
A Heavy Progressive or Graduated Income Tax.
Abolition of All Rights of Inheritance.
Confiscation of the Property of All Emigrants and Rebels.
Centralization of Credit in the Hands of the State, by Means of a National Bank with State Capital and an Exclusive Monopoly.
Centralization of the Means of Communication and Transport in the Hands of the State.
Extension of Factories and Instruments of Production Owned by the State, the Bringing Into Cultivation of Waste Lands, and the Improvement of the Soil Generally in Accordance with a Common Plan.
Equal Liability of All to Labor. Establishment of Industrial Armies, Especially for Agriculture.
Combination of Agriculture with Manufacturing Industries; Gradual Abolition of the Distinction Between Town and Country by a More Equable Distribution of the Population over the Country.
Free Education for All Children in Public Schools. Abolition of Children's Factory Labor in it's Present Form. Combination of Education with Industrial Production.
We are almost there, to complete the transition----Vote Obama

Another Bailout ??
Good Grief!!! Even after blowing over a trillion dollars, ( that is a 1 followed by twelve zeros) 1,000,000,000,000 the government still is not through throwing our money at the problem.
Now they are talking about bailing out Chrysler and GM. I say to hell with'em. They should have taken care of their money when they were making it.
At one time, GM was the largest industrial company in the world. In 1970, GM was in the enviable position of being able to break the UAW. If they had not made a contract with the UAW when they did, the union would have been bankrupt within seven days.
Now, the union has succeeded in bankrupting GM. And guess what? You and I are going to throw out the life buoy ( $$$ 's) one more time.If they can't compete in the "global economy", tough!!
If the "poor" under worked, overpaid union people cannot find jobs that will recompense them over $100 per hour (including benefits), I say "welcome to the real world." They were over paid for much too long.
It is past time to do away with the "artificially high" minimum wage and require people to start earning what the job is worth.
(Hmmm, what a novel concept?)
Make the labor market more competitive. If you are good at your job and a good worker you are being held back by minimum wage laws and union rules.
