"Crisis" Word Drinking Game!

I for one am getting really tired of all the doom and gloom. I remember part of the Democrat strategy during the '08 campaign was to portray Republicans as "Doom and Gloomers." To me it looks like Chicken Little is leading the Democrat party. According to Salena Zito at The post Chronicle (http://www.blogger.com/www.postchronicle.com), had we "played a 'crisis' word-drinking game,"(during any of Obama's speaches) we "would have temporarily lost all brain function by the end of them."
So why is it that every program the Democrats want to ram through Congress is designed to confront (yet) another looming catastrophe? According to Rahm Emanuel, Obama's chief of staff (Nov. 9th 2008): "Rule one: Never allow a crisis to go to waste." The Democrats have been faithful to "rule one" ever since, spinning every agenda item in the Socialist's Handbook into a crisis in order to convince people to expand government control (relinquishing their freedoms in the process), and giving up more of their money (or rather, other people's money) in the form of higher taxes. In February of '09 Barack Obama said that failure to act immediately on his economic aid plan:

"will turn crisis into a catastrophe and guarantee a longer recession. Millions more jobs will be lost. More businesses will be shuttered. More dreams will be deferred."

In reality, failure to act immediately meant that the pork-laden bill was never completely read by a single Senator or Congressman before it was passed without support from one House Republican. And to date, there has been a net loss of millions more jobs (unemployment nearing 10%).
Obama stated many times in the first few months of his administration that a government takeover of General Motors was the only way to save the country from another financial crisis. "GM can't be allowed to go into bankruptcy," he said. Yet come June, once GM was owned by the government and the UAW, having defrauded stock holders out of millions in the process, Obama was urging bankruptcy onto the very same company. Was the crisis averted, or created?

Al Gore said on July 7th 2009 that public awareness about the "catastrophe" of climate change is not high enough to pressure politicians into taking action. "We can berate politicians for not doing enough and for compromising too much and for not being bold in addressing this existential threat to civilization." Even Great Britain's Prince Charles stated last week that the earth had only 96 months (that's 8 years to you liberals) to survive if we (meaning tax payers of course) didn't do something to stem the tide of "Global Warming." [insert the words "the Angry Gods."] Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) chairwoman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee has intimated the same fears about the demise of the world as she continues to push for a cap and trade bill, despite the testemony of 650 scientists who challenge the claim that "global warming" [insert "the angry gods"] is man-made. Meanwhile, temperatures around the globe continue to drop to record lows.
Healthcare is the latest crisis, not the trillion dollar deficit and shrinking economy caused by these spending programs. (Yes, Bush had it wrong on this one too). And according to Vice President Joe Biden, if we don't spend trillions more on a national healthcare system the nation is going to go bankrupt. It's hard not to laugh about this, but it's true! Speaking to an AARP gathering (scaring old people silly no doubt) on July 16th '09 in Alexandria Virginia, Biden said:

"And folks look, AARP knows and the people working here today know, the president knows, and I know, that the status quo is simply not acceptable, It's totally unacceptable. And it's completely unsustainable. Even if we wanted to keep it the way we have it. It can't do it financially." And "We're going to go bankrupt as a nation."

Come again? How are we going to spend our way out of the red and into the black? In what strange universe is that even possible? Isn't it all the spending that's actually bankrupting us? Maybe I need one of the "52 per centers" to explain it to me, because the Donkeys in Chicken Little clothing running the socialist... I mean Democrat party sure don't make any sense. I may have to resort to playing the "crisis" word drinking game just to help get me through these difficult times.
