Vigilant Babysitting

When good people in any country cease their vigilance and struggle, then evil men prevail.
--Pearl S. Buck

Vigilance… are you kidding me! With the Obama administration it is more like babysitting!
I don’t think that this needs to be pointed out, but that has never stopped me before, does anyone really think that the Obama’s public school speech would have been so benign if the vigilant hadn’t been so vigilant.

I love the pro Obama-ites who, the day after the speech stated, “See, you had nothing to worry about.” That’s right, because the vigilant made sure that the speech was what it should be, an admonition to stay in school and not what it would have been, socialist indoctrination.

Now we have last night’s snake oil pitch for the republic-killing health care plan. Yoy! A gaggle of fifties rocker used less grease to maintain their ducktail dos. One half-truth after another and for those not adept in math, let me remind you that two half truths do not make a whole. No matter how they package it, health care is the province of society not government. I refer you to Common Sense by Thomas Paine if you don't believe me.

Thank goodness for the vigilant. We haven’t even had a year’s worth of this administration and the constant vigilance has already been exhausting due to the “transparency” of this administration. Sifting through bogus bills, vetting the duplicitous Tsars, or filtering the double speak...yep, babysitting alright. And like most babysitting gigs, we need to be most vigilant when all is quiet.
