No doubt.

They are also opportunities to tell big lies, commit big frauds and perpetrate big thefts.

It seems a “crisis” presents a phenomenal excuse to commit big crimes.

Crimes, I say, and I do not overstate the case. What is there about the Obama-Democrat "stimulus" bill that honors the principles of representative government? This was a breathtaking power grab, a rejection of responsible stewardship, a betrayal of a sacred trust and a damnable act of larceny.

Which of us ever got to vote our consciences as concerns this iron yoke of a bill? Which of us ever knew what was in it, even as these "devoted and selfless public servants" rushed it through in a fever to clamp it upon our necks?

If this measure was so noble, why the secrecy? If so prudent, why the haste? If the national need was so "urgent," as they claim, why the coming years of delay upon so much that was enacted therein?

Those billions upon billions of dollars that do not exist and that they have pledged toward the perpetual enslavement of our children and the destruction of this nation — is any of that their money? Who says it is? Since when?

The wealth of nations belongs to the people who produce it by their labor — the product of their lives and their talents — and to the God Who rules those nations and bestows those gifts and is ready to judge the living and the dead.

Those who devised, supported and passed this abomination are perjurers and extortionists. They know what they have done. They know it is deceptive. They do NOT know that their destruction hangs over them, and that their punishment marches relentlessly in their direction.

The current “crisis” was a chance for this generation of political hacks, this despicable den of robbers, this contemptible brood of snakes, to get their goodies now.

It was their chance to "do big things."
