And it came to pass . .

[HK_packer]

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. My lack of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous
ego, and my association with evildoers are of no consequence. For 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 then 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!

Then a citizen asked, "With no foreign relations20experience 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 health care and medicine and transportation to the clinics."

And the people said, "Gim'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 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, bilingual 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 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 people said, "Wait a minute. That is unfair!!"

And the world 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, 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 is a fairy tale, but it's not. It's happening RIGHT NOW!
