Cavuto: "It Is No Longer Our Country"

Neil Cavuto offers up some common sense.

Before you celebrate Rick Wagoner getting his just desserts, think about who just heaved him: the government. More to the point: the president of the United States.

Think about that. The leader of a country firing the leader of a business. Arguing since taxpayer dollars were involved, the leader of the country had perfect right firing the leader of the business getting those tax dollars.

Just like he had the same right to force Chrysler to merge with Fiat. And U.S. companies that have operations abroad to pay dearly for it here.

Justifying these Chavezian grabs for power on the notion that it is our money, misses an even greater point: It's no longer our country.

Not when the government routinely rescues businesses, then can justify running those businesses, what folks get paid at those businesses, whether they get bonuses at those businesses, and even -- in the case of the GM chairman -- whether they should be removed from those businesses.

...I cannot believe even the most fervent Obama supporter voted for this because — hear me out on this — when those in government who have a tough enough time policing their own books, start policing others' books, what new chapters have yet to be written?

Drug prices get out of whack; whack the drug companies.

Gas prices move up as demand moves up; heave the gas guys out.

No, this isn't about doing what is right for America. This is about destroying everything that is America.

Well said.

The bloodless coup continues unabated thanks to the MSM. When will the Soccer Moms get a clue? Answer - when it is too late.

And yet nobody will jump up and down and make a huge noise to combat the takeover.

I've discussed this (what Cavuto said) with many friends and not one of them believes that the country is at risk. They say that a President of the United States would never do what I claim that Obama is doing. I send them news reports and they still don't believe me. They don't want to believe that their way of life is at risk. They'd rather just continue to go out to dinner and live their lives as they've come to know them without any inconvenience. We've had it too good for too long and those in power know how to play these very people; and it is working. Scary stuff indeed.

The masses may not get a clue until Obama declares people with less than $100,000 in household income to be among the ranks of the rich.

Or when the government takes control of our retirement funds.
