Author Unknown - Age of Insanity

And  it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the  people of the land called America , having  lost their morals, their initiative, and  their will to defend their liberties, chose  as their Supreme Leader that person known as  "The One." He  emerged from the vapors with a message that had  no meaning; but He hypnotized the people  telling them, "I am sent to save you, from yourselves."  My  lack of experience, my questionable ethics,  my monstrous ego, and my association with evil doers are of no consequence.  I shall save you with Hope and Change.  "Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the land that he who  preceded me is evil, that he has defiled  the nation, and  that all he has built must be destroyed."   And the  people rejoiced, for even though they knew not what "The One" would do, he had  promised that it was good; and they believed.   And "The One" said " We live in the greatest  country in the world.  Help me change everything  about it!"  And the people said, "Hallelujah!  Change is good!"   Then he said, "We are  going to tax the rich fat-cats."  And the people  said "Sock it to them!"  "And redistribute their  wealth." And the people said, "Show us the  money!"  And the he said, "Redistribution of  wealth is good for everybody..." And Joe the  plumber asked, "Are you kidding me? You're  going to steal my money and give it to the  deadbeats??"  And "The One" ridiculed and  taunted him, and Joe's personal records  were hacked and publicized. One lone reporter  asked, "Isn't that Marxist policy?"  And she was banished from the Kingdom's press corps. Then a citizen asked,  "With no foreign relations experience  and having zero military experience or  knowledge, how will you deal with radical  terrorists?"  And "The One" said, "Simple. I  shall sit with them and talk with them and  show them how nice we really are; and  they will forget that they ever wanted to  kill us all!"  And the people Said,  "Hallelujah!! We are safe at last, and we can  beat our weapons into free cars for the people!" Then "The One" said "I  shall give 95% of you lower taxes." And  one, lone voice said, "But 40% of us don't  pay ANY taxes."  So "The One" said, "Then I  shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats  pay!" And the people said, "Hallelujah! Show  us the  money!" Then  "The One" said, "I shall tax your Capital  Gains when you  sell your homes!" And the people yawned and the  slumping housing market collapsed. And He said. "I  shall mandate employer-funded health care for every  worker and raise the minimum wage. And I shall give  every person unlimited healthcare and medicine and  transportation to the clinics." And the people said,  "Give me some of that!"  Then he said, "I shall  penalize employers who ship jobs overseas."    And the people said, "Where's my rebate  check?" Then  "The One" said, "I shall bankrupt the coal industry  and electricity rates will skyrocket!"  And the  people said, "Coal is dirty,  coal is evil, no more coal!  But we don't care for that part about higher electric rates."  So "The  One" said, "not to worry. If your rebate isn't  enough to cover your expenses, we shall bail you  out.   Just sign up with the ACORN and your troubles are over!" Then He  said, "Illegal immigrants feel scorned and  slighted.. Let's grant them amnesty, Social  Security, free education, free lunches, free medical  care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing."  And  the people said, "Hallelujah!" and they made him king! And  so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs  and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off  workers. Others simply gave up and went out of business  and the economy sank like unto a rock dropped from a cliff.   The banking industry was destroyed.  Manufacturing slowed to a crawl.  And more of the people were  without a means of support. Then "The One"  said, "I am the 'the Chosen One'- The Messiah - and I'm here  to save you! We shall just print more money so everyone will have enough!"  But our foreign trading partners said unto  Him. "Wait a minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile of  camel dung! You will have to pay more..."  And "The One" said,  "Wait a minute. That is not fair!" And the New World Order said, "Neither are these other idiotic programs you have  embraced. Lo, you have become a Socialist  state and a second-rate power."  "Now you shall play by our rules!" And the people cried out, "Alas, alas!! What have we done?" But  yea verily, it was too late. The people set upon The One and spat upon him and stoned him in the POLLING PLACES, and his name was dung.  And the  once mighty nation was no more; and the once proud people  were without sustenance or shelter or hope. And the Change  "The One" had given them was as like unto a poison that had  destroyed them and like a whirlwind that consumed all that  they had built. And  the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in  anguish, "give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!"  But it was too late, and their homeland was no more. You  may think this a fairy tale, but it's not. It's happening  RIGHT NOW. Reject the notion that MORE WASTED TAX DOLLARS is the Solution to ANYTHING! THIS  really tells it like it is.  After reading it -- and  before you go into the bathroom to throw-up -- forward it to  your friends and those you know who care about our country  and what is happening to it under the rule of Commissar  Obamanation. The day we lose our will  to fight is the day we lose our  freedom.   GOD BLESS   AMERICA [ps. If you wrote this please write so I can attribute Name & Town]
