		<description>[...] It must be stressed here that the insurance companies have not been accused of any crimes, and that they are not being investigated for illegal activities. This is just a fishing expedition from the government. If they get away with this, where will it end? Will the government suddenly start demanding information from any industry opposed to a government policy? Will they send letters to private citizens demanding information about your family budgets: how much do you spend on entertainment? On food? On alcohol? When you combine this latest tactic with &#8220;pay czar&#8221; Kenneth Feinberg&#8217;s claim that he can retroactively rescind executive compensation to companies that accepted TARP money, you can see an agenda that is anti-capitalist at its worst and ferociously power hungry at its best (Michelle Malkin has details).

		<description>All of the focus of this so far has been on his ability to limit salaries or bonuses for the top 100. 

Here&#039;s a scary thought. How long before he extends this to determine that others aren&#039;t making enough? Like maybe union workers at a company that received TARP funds. What&#039;s stopping him from redistributing this money from the top to the bottom?</description>

		<description>I get tired of asking this question, but where are the lawsuits from the Conservatives on these issues? I get donation requests from a dozen conservative thinktanks every month; don&#039;t any of them have legal standing to challenge these blatantly unconstitutional actions of this &lt;strike&gt;regime&lt;/strike&gt; administration?</description>

		<description>Our Constitution is for a moral and religious (Christian) people. It is unsuitable for governing any other.

We are no longer even remotely a moral and religious people (those here who might argue against that should reflect on the abortion death count, the constant brutal crime our poorest and weakest have to endure, and our electorate&#039;s current choice of government). Our elites know that. So they are moving us to the more natural social/economic arrangement: fascism.

They call it &#039;liberalism&#039; or &#039;progressivism&#039; or even &#039;socialism&#039; because those are terms are more acceptable to the stupid young hotheads, but it is what it is.

The whole world has been moving toward the fascism model for some time now. This is just the end game.

We just lived through the Golden Age of prosperity and freedom. The Brave New World approaches. The shackles are soft now. Soon they will chafe, and the whip will crack on our backs, and we will wonder how we got here.

We abandoned God. We sold our souls to people who told us it was okay to steal.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The horrific possibilities include: massive protests/riots/guerrilla violence resulting in a Federal crackdown or martial law; a serious secessionist movement; civil war. God help us!&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Please, don&#039;t forget a tool that has been proven effective in the past, and can&#039;t miss if it is supported by enough Americans....

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;This will never happen, but imagine the deficit reduction and tax breaks if they did.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

NEVER, say never.  We need to roll back the entitlement state, including the whole idea of &quot;Agricultural Economics&quot;.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The Supreme Court, as usual, is silent on this. At least, I’ve not heard of anything they’ve said, pro or con.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The Supremes can&#039;t just jump into politics.  BUT we damn sure need some of the conservative and libertarian legal organizations to bring Federal suits opposing much of what BIG BRO is doing and has done.

If we get lower court rulings, that will at least TEND to set some boundaries.</description>

WarEagle, I see the danger, too. Once it becomes clear to the every-day working conservative that there is no hope of legally restoring the Founders&#039; principles, then there may be hell to pay.

		<description>Unfortunately, we need to repeal so many programs, some &quot;untouchable&quot;, that the USA may be doomed anyway.  The &quot;easy&quot; programs that need repeal - TARP and Porkulus.  The &quot;untouchable&quot; programs - Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, SCHIP, and basically all government subsidies and departments dealing with these useless programs.  This will never happen, but imagine the deficit reduction and tax breaks if they did.</description>

		<description>Now, Waxman and another liberal senator have written letters to CEO&#039;s of some large insurance companies, demanding to inspect their books and the salaries of their executives.  Surely, that is NOT LEGAL!!  These are private companies, not obligated in any way, have not taken any bail-out money, and are solvent.  If the insurance executives cave to this unconstitutional power grab, we are screwed.  Is the MSM reporting on this travesty?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama is creating his own dictatorship&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The Constitution will remain, as long as Obama and his congress can use it; twisting it and shaping it to their ends. He wants to control all of the economy and creating czars is a subtle way to circumvent the law. As long as no-one challenges him, he will continue to flaunt the law.  It reminds me of an embezzler, who, realizing that he isn&#039;t being caught stealing, gets bolder and bolder in his thefts. This quest for power and marxism has to be nipped in the bud now, or be prepared for another Castro or Chavez.</description>
