The Sky Is Falling!

But, unlike Chicken Little, I think that there are gonna be some pretty nasty changes coming up, now that the dems have the House, and probably the Senate.

Be ready for:

1) Higher taxes (but, hopefully, Bush will veto any bill that does that.) But they also want every single Bush tax cut to be repealed. Hurray!!! Cuz us folks love payin' dem taxes.

2) Higher gas prices - They are going to oppose expanding any drilling on U.S. soil, thereby maintaining the status quo of our dependence on foreign oil

3) Increase our risks of being attacked by crazy Muslim terrorists - They will cut our defense funding, and work hard to stifle our "wire tapping"

4) Continue to allow the floodgates to be open at our border. They dang sure don't want to stop the pouring of illegal immigrants, because that's voters coming in.

5) More "oversight" of intelligence - Methinks that means that they will make it very, very hard for us to gather any intelligence of any kind, related to comment #3

6) Create a true civil war in Iraq, and create a haven for terrorists there - They are going to push hard to get us out of Iraq way too early. Look out for this. It's coming.

7) Keep N. Korea and Iran on their current paths - They want us to open direct talks with these two nations. Can you really negotiate with terrorists and/or crazy people????? I don't think so.
8) Further hinder our Dept. of Homeland Security - They want oversight of intelligence agencies and "privacy-civil liberties issues." Again, related to #3, but this has an important addition. The civil liberties issues are not for us U.S. citizens. No, they are for the terrorists. That's all that they have talked about. They have been harping on our treatment of "enemy combatants" for years now. You'll see. Heck, even the Supreme Court, said that we need to give them rights.

9) Increase the terrorists rights (related to #8) - They are going to conduct hearings on the treatment of terrorists and domestic surveillance programs. Great. That's exactly what we need. Let's further hinder our country. Let's make it even easier for terrorists to strike this country.

10) Slow down the economy by increasing the minimum wage. - By forcing businesses to increase their payroll, it will in turn increase the cost of goods, because the businesses will pass on the extra expense of payroll to.....us.....the consumer.

I got most of this info from this story from the AP.

I think that the following 2 years will actually be good for the conservatives. I think after watching the dems turn this country into a clusterfudge, the voters will do what matters most....Put the Republicans in the White House, and put them back in the majority in both the House and the Senate in 2008.

Keep on keepin' on, and look out for any suspicious behavior by Middle Eastern men ages 18-45, because it's gonna be interesting.
