During the 2008 Democratic primary, Hillary Clinton ran an infamous ad against Barack Obama about a 3am phone call. Well, at 3am Sunday, we know what Obama will be doing: he’ll be sleeping soundly as an hour disappears from America. It’s called Daylight Savings Time, and this unconstitutional government-imposed theft of an hour represents the ugly hand of socialism taking over our country.
It’s a typical Big Government program: steal an hour from us in March, give back our hour to us in November, and expect us to be grateful for getting back our own property. We don’t need to "spring forward" to socialism or "fall back" to fascism.
Daylight Savings Time was first established in 1918 by Woodrow Wilson, the socialist who sought to create the League of Nations. It returned in 1942 under the socialist Franklin Delano Roosevelt. And finally Lyndon B. Johnson, creator of the welfare state, signed The Uniform Time Act of 1966 into law.
As Jon Christian Ryter, author of Whatever Happened to America, noted on the conservative website NewsWithViews.com several years ago, "We still observe Daylight Savings Time largely because the FDR-mentality socialists tell us it must be a money-saving proposition or else FDR would not have created it." According to Ryter, "Daylight Savings Times is one of those ongoing liberal myths" and he concluded, "Let's end this Freudian experiment with light and darkness."
In 2005, Daylight Savings Time was expanded from April-October to March-November. The reasons were pure socialism in nature. The hoax of "Global Warming" was one reason, the goal being to reduce energy use by having more activity in daylight. Another reason was to have Halloween occur during Daylight Savings Time. This "holiday" is the training ground for the welfare state by indoctrinating kids into the ideology of the handout.
Now we have an expanded Daylight Savings Time, and what is the result? A bunch of dirty San Francisco hippies without jobs don’t want to have the sun shining in their lazy eyes while they sleep through the morning. Meanwhile, productive, hard-working Americans are forced to drive to their jobs in the dark thanks to Daylight Savings Time, or "Hippie Time" as I like to call it.
No doubt, liberal bloggers will point to the "fact" that George W. Bush was the president who signed the law expanding Daylight Savings Time, and Republicans controlled Congress in 2005. But who voted for this law in the Senate? That’s right, none other than your Messiah, Barack Obama.
Don’t let this liberal trick fool you. Daylight Savings Time, like the housing bubble, the recession, TARP, unemployment, and the massive deficits, are all the fault of Barack Obama because he was a senator when these things happened.
The expanded Daylight Savings Time was first implemented in 2007, and look at what happened. Our economy began to go into a tailspin. Should this be called the Obama Recession or the Daylight Savings Time Recession? It’s a tough call.
Daylight Savings Time is also unconstitutional. I ask you, exactly where in the Constitution does it give the federal government the power to control time? If the Founding Fathers didn’t have Daylight Savings Time, it can’t be part of their original intent for the Constitution.
If we let Obama and the federal government control time, he’s going to control health care and then everything else in our lives. We need a Time Party Movement to go along with the Tea Party Movement. My advice is to go to work an hour late on Monday, and every day after that.
But that’s just a short term solution. Here’s what we need to do in the long run: privatize time. Imagine if we just outsourced time to private industry. Companies could bid to buy time and determine whether there is Daylight Savings Time, rather than the government imposing it on us. Our clocks, like our health care, are better off without government control.
The Invisible Big Hand and the Invisible Little Hand of the unregulated free market would exert the inevitable perfection of free enterprise to determine the best time.
