My Predictions for the New Obama "Presidency"
Now that America has shown us all that affirmative action even works in politics, I've compiled a list of things that you can probably expect to happen. These predictions are 80% gleaned from information all of us have access to, and 15% gut instinct based on many years of research, historical study, and being glued to current affairs. The other 5% is just anger at my countrymen's stupidity--I admit it.
We have traded experience for color, freedom for slavery--and the irony is that the average American sheeple thinks their vote somehow righted an ancient wrong, somehow ENDED the spectre of slavery and ushered in some beautiful era of liberty. In reality, we are about to be less free than you ever thought possible.
I watched the faces of those crowded into the mob (excuse the pun) in Chicago. They stared at Obama like he was a god, an idol, a panacea to their every want and need. We have truly failed as a nation if we are at the point where we feel we must look to one man to take care of us all, to be our father figure and our sugar daddy. We have lost not only the "can-do" attitude of past generations, but the "MUST-do" attitude of our forefathers. We have allowed ourselves to become reduced from Patrick Henry's proud cry of "liberty or death" to the sniveling, whining idea that we are owed something. We have gone from being the honorable defenders of freedom, to being told we are the problem.
The eyes of Obama and McCain were also telling. McCain acted with class and grace in his concession speech , offering the most honorable response I've seen yet. I don't agree with all of McCain's positions, but it cannot be denied that the man has served his nation--at permanent and severe detriment to himself--for half a century.
His eyes were clear and sincere, honest. His speech underlined the very reasons why, of the two men offered, he was hands down the best choice.
On the other hand, Obama's eyes were cold, calculating. His manner was smug and still carried the arrogance he has always had. His facial expression was one of barely disguised disdain for everything people like me believe in. His body language was smooth, polished--too much so. He talked of patriotism as though it is a value he is familiar with--and yet, his horrifying attitude toward the country he now leads is as well-documented as his friendships with those who seek its demise. He is charismatic to those who don't know what to look for, and he is inspiring to those who cannot or will not think for themselves. However, too many who voted for him are guilty of the most dangerous kind of hypocrisy. You see, we are told daily that we must not see color, just mankind. (We are all family, you know--or so we're told.) And yet Barack Obama was handed the White House on a silver platter by a fawning media, a bevy of foreign donors (who, to this day and in violation of U.S. election laws, remain nameless and unaccounted for), and a populace who voted based on color instead of right and wrong--even in the face of the most damning evidence against a Presidential candidate in many years, perhaps ever.
It is said that the people receive the government they deserve. Sadly, I fear that's correct. We have become complacent, unwilling to see the writing on the wall, content to frolic in the warm water without bothering to notice that it's been getting hotter by the minute. We are two seconds from a rolling boil--and perhaps it is already too late.
So, liberals, enjoy your victory. Jump around. Have a party, file for your free grants. Scream "Gimme my handout!" and make fun of those of us who fought to make sure your "messiah" didn't get access to the most powerful position in the world. Just remember when it all comes crashing down: You own the White House, the Congress, and soon the Supreme Court. You have no one to blame but yourselves for the mess you just created.
As for me, I'm buying my handguns this week so I have an answer for those who will come try to take them.

RB,
When you have a moment, can you link a few of your threads to lend background on Kit’s reference here:
>>>Those brave and honorable men who currently reside in prison cells across the country, stripped of their rank, their careers, families, and their good name, will not taste free air again for many years. Their sacrifices and their stories will be forgotten by the general public, remembered only by those of us who continue to fight for them.<<<
Some may not realize the reference to Haditha.
US Congressman Jim McGovern working with Terrorists
Nancy Pelosi met with FARC Leaders
Other notable Communist appeasers are:
Former Rep. Ron Dellums (D-CA) and current Rep. Barabara Lee (D-CA) were friendly with the Marxist regime in Grenada. US Sens. Chris Dodd (D-CT), John F. Kerry (D-MA) and Tom Harkin (D-IA) all liked to conduct freelance diplomacy with Sandanista thug Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua as did House Speaker Jim Wright (D-TX), despite the fact that his predecessor Tip ONeill (D-MA) was embarrassed when Ortega went off to the Soviet Union for aid after one such session. More recently, Reps. John Conyers (D-MI), William Delahunt (D-MA) and Ed Markey (D-MA) are among those wanting to get close to Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) has advocated beefing up Chavezs military. Gov. Bill Richardson (D-NM) was among those sticking his nose into the Columbian hostage situation and cozying up to Chavez in the process. Ex-Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-MA) eagerly appeared in U.S. television advertisements promoting our good friends in Venezuela who allowed Chavezs Citgo to supply reduced-price heating oil to Massachusetts residents. And Rep. William Delahunt backed Chavezs efforts to release hostages in Venezuela

Interpol Confirms: US Democrat Was Secretly Working With FARC To Undermine Colombian Government
Thanks for the ping. I skimmed over this and it looks on target but I had to stop reading because I can’t afford to have my blood boiling so early.
I was going to articulate all of that, but was so proud of myself for being so clever ...
THAT'S how any 'undecideds' got swayed to cast a vote for zero.
This appears to be a thread that may generate some real think tanking ... God knows I need help in trying to discern and determine a plan.
..however it is, it is not good for us.
If people have no stake in the country...they should have no say in how the money is spent....
"One man, one vote" needs to go....
I hope that they enjoy the read, because it is going to happen if they keep messing with the people. History tends to repeat itself, and the people are sick and tired of it.
We’ll know soon enough, won’t we?
