Throw away our 'clunky' freedom

How eager we are to throw away our freedom.

This "Cash for Clunkers" program is nothing more than a scheme to get us to willingly scrap our cars that worked well enough on January 19th, but now are supposedly garbage.

Why would the government want us to scrap our cars, forcing us to then buy a new more fuel efficient (green) car which would undoubtedly be an expensive purchase during this terrible recession? It's not their money. They can afford whatever they want. It's the rest of us (who have to endure Stay-cations this summer, and tighter budgets) that have to take one for the team in the name of "saving" the environment.

Not to mention that this scheme destroys the "clunker" cars and leaves them in a scrap heap (Boy, That's environmentally sound). They might remove some pieces of the car (except the engine), and sell them to China as Glenn Beck reported on July 30th.

By scraping these perfectly fine cars, they also are decreasing the supply of replacement parts for those of us who don't participate in this auto-cide.

What ever happened to our freedom in America? We can't educate our children the way we want to, and can't opt out of offensive lessons; we can't say or believe what we want to; we can't dissent without fear of called a 'racist'; pretty soon we won't be able to choose the medicine, procedures, or family doctors that we want (unless of course you choose to have an abortion); and now we can't choose to drive whatever vehicle we want.

This program isn't working and is already is in the red, so they had to shovel more bail-out money into it, making opponents ask what good is the bailout if there's all this extra spreadin' around money floating around.

We should trade in this corrupt program and get our money back. That's what I call CASH for CLUNKERS.
