Blast from the Past - Nancy Pelosi in 2006 - Democrats Will Save the US

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi speaks after the Democrats won the US House of Representatives back in 2006. She speaks of change. She speaks of openness. She speaks of a new bipartisanship.

She lies like the carpet she walks on.

How is the Democrats' change working out for ya'll?




To be sure, the Republicans blew their chance with George W. Bush in the White House. They acted just like uncontrolled and unprincipled politicians always do. They spent money and took power, just like a bunch of Democrats, instead of holding onto the basic Republican principles of conservatism.

Now that the Democrats have all the power in two branches of the federal government, they are doing their best to recreate the dystopian Lord of the Flies, acting like lost boys with absolutely no principles and even fewer qualms about seizing power. Nancy Pelosi is the head bully on the island.

The solution? Return to our native distrust of government and take control back into the hands of the people. That's easier said than done, since once power is given up to government, it is extraordinarily difficult for the people to take it back.
