(CNSNews.com) – 2009 will long be remembered as the year Barack Obama became president and his administration started building a road to socialism through Congress, pouring concrete on it by:
-- pushing through Congress a $787 billion economic stimulus bill raising the U.S. deficit to astronomical levels;
-- seizing control of General Motors and tossing out the CEO;
-- telling banks how much they could pay their top execs;
-- closing down Gitmo and deciding to try foreign terrorists and war criminals in civilian courts, as if they were American citizens;
-- pushing Congress to pass climate-change legislation that promises to hike energy bills by 40 percent or more if implemented;
-- and, of course, getting the House and Senate to pass their own versions of trillion-dollar health-care reform legislation that will place one-sixth of the American economy into the hands of federal government control -- and could put taxpayers in the business of paying for abortions, with a final bill yet to emerge.
Throughout the year, CNSNews.com has been there with numerous stories on all those topics.
But we covered so much more in 2009.
Remember when the allegations surfaced that Georgetown University covered over Jesus name when President Obama spoke there? Or when the Democratic Party attempted to silence Rush Limbaugh? When Vice President Joe Biden made the comment that spending economic stimulus money was necessary “to keep from going bankrupt?” How about when pro-life Democratic congressman Bart Stupak said the White House was pressuring him not to speak out on abortion language in the Senate health-care bill – or when millionaire filmmaker Michael Moore trashed capitalism? Or Sheriff Arpaio was targeted by the Justice Department?
These are all stories that first came to light on CNSNews.com – and became our most popular stories of 2009.
