HISTORIC CHANGE R US

Yes, I know a lot of people voted for Chairman Zero because of the color of his skin instead of the content of his character and brought about historic change by giving us our first president who is an American of African descent. But that historic change pales in comparison to the one that is the death of our nation. Moonbattery points out a couple more sign-posts:

Under a rule written by Thomas Jefferson, bills going through the House of Representatives are to be publicly posted for 3 days before they can be voted on.

Not anymore. Hell, no one even reads the stuff.

And as far as dialogue? Rep. John Carter:

Monday night Democrats voted to shut down the U.S. House Representatives rather than allow a handful of Republican Congressmen to speak on the floor. What could have been so offensive or frightening about our discourse that Speaker Pelosi felt she had to protect her party by gagging free speech in the House?

In fact, we had planned to speak on the lack of transparency of the House since Democrats took control. We had planned to criticize Speaker Pelosi for repeatedly denying Members, the media, and the public to right to read legislation before it was voted on. We were set to discuss House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer’s statement last week that if his Members were required to read the Democrats’ healthcare reform package before it was voted on, it would fail.

So the Speaker obviously feels that if the public is truly aware of her party’s agenda, they will reject it. She is now making sure the public is kept in the dark by trampling the centuries-old democratic traditions of the House.

Its a new, one party, all-government world. Because, of course, they just want to help people.

And if you disagree you are against America.
