Pelosi: “Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory”
By Brian Kirwin | Thursday, May 28th, 2009 | PolicySpeaker of the House Nancy Pelosi showed China what a real socialist is like.
“We have so much room for improvement,” she said. “Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory … of how we are taking responsibility. (AP)
Is that what American’s voted for? For Nancy Pelosi to subject every aspect of our lives to an inventory?
“It is an opportunity that we cannot miss.” (Reuters)
I’ll bet!

What do I think Nancy Pelosi meant when she said, “Every aspect of our lives must be subjected to an inventory of how we are taking responsibility”?
A while back, a great leader also had the same sorts of sense of the civic responsibility of citizens. He stated that a nation is only as strong as its people, who need to do their part to contribute. He also setup some basic rules for civic responsibility that sound like a great idea:
Every citizen should respect other people.
Every citizen should think for themselves.
Every citizen should obey the law.
And under the pretense of good government, by the people and for the people, he gained a great deal of power in his nation by using the pride of his citizens to get everybody to do their best for their country.
I’m not going to say that Nancy Pelosi is comparable to Hitler, or even that she has some sort of Communist or Socialist agenda that she’s using to slowly marginalize US citizens into robots that will be forced to be healthy, ‘green’ and pay 50% of their income as taxes/fees/fines/licenses/permits. I’ve listened to Nancy speak, and frankly I don’t think she’s intelligent enough to know what she’s actually doing, or what she really means by even her own statements, contrary to Hitler.
As an example, Hitler banned public smoking as it damaged the lungs citizens, which would reduce their ability to contribute to the country. That almost sounds familiar, albeit under a different auspice. Is it bad for the country if an inventory of a citizen shows they smoke, eat too much, use too much energy or don’t recycle? Is this what Nancy means?
I guess that depends what kind of country you live in, Nazi Germany, modern China or future America.
