Couldn't agree more! I'm still banking on the next 6 weeks ushering in martial law across the country for a conveniently-timed crisis that can't go to waste, but in the event we do see the elections, I'm heavily hedging my bets that Obama and his ilk are going to pull out all the stops to defraud the election processes in this country.
The author is right, folks. The Democrats have been working for nearly 100 years to bring about a slow, grinding descent into popular socialism and totalitarianism of the Federal government. They've done everything in their power and within the confines of the legal system to implement sweeping social policies that have fundamentally changed what it means to be American.
No longer does being American mean hard work, dedication, and perseverance. No longer does being American mean patriotism or national pride. Being American means hand outs. It means bailouts if you run a business with historical pedigree. It means you can become "too big to fail." It means that if you're poor, you don't have to work to get back on your feet; the government can help you live out the rest of your years.
Well, the long knives are out now, folks. The Democrats are no longer hiding their intentions. Their socialist/Marxist tendencies and allegiances are out in plain view for all to see. The bone-chilling thing about that fact: no one seems to care. Like the Corinthians, they want a tyrant to rule them so they don't have to work. Like a cancer, they are now wholly dependent on Uncle Obama to keep them fed, keep their cable TV going, keep their smartphones working, keep fuel in their Escalades, and keep them in their foreclosed McMansions despite being unemployed for over a year and a half.
This election is about everything America used to stand for. The Democrats are no longer pulling their punches. They are outright telling us that they are going to cast aside the Constitution, implement an international rule of law, and force those of us who do work to give up most of our money, our personal property, and our freedom "for the common good."
I'm sad to live at this time in our history. I'm sad thinking that at some point the government, specifically the military, is going to turn its guns on us to force us to do the government's will. I, for one, will not sit down and allow this, and thus, I know that my days on this planet are numbered. I have nightmares of being bound, gagged, on my knees, with an Army officer's sidearm to my head demanding that I pledge my allegiance to Obama, and my muffled, "No" is clear enough that everything goes dark and I wake up in a cold sweat. Someday, I fear soon, I won't wake up.
Good post. Unfortunately, I, being of a pessimistic turn of mind, think that no matter if Romney wins—unless it is a landslide of historic proportions—it should be clear that the electorate has changed and for the worse, and this country is on its last legs as a free and prosperous nation.
But it was a nice 236-year run. I was one of the fortunate ones, having been born in 1940 and had a life in which I experienced America in all its splendor. I feel sorry for those today who are ambitious and hard-working. Their future is far less than bright.
What a shame. It’s enough to bring tears to your eyes.
My only quibble with what you've said is that it's not "Democrats" - it's "Progressives" - the fun-loving guys who brought us Income Tax and Prohibition.
And there's plenty of 'em in both major parties. Think John McCain, Lindsey Graham and George Bush.
I have the same dream, but I’m dying on my feet with my AR-10’s barrel glowing *RED HOT*...
If we can't win this election with everything that Obama stands for, then we can't win. We need an all effort to turn the would be Hugo Chavez out of office on November 6th. If we win, then the fight goes on; if we lose, everybody needs a fall back plan with the plane literally or figuratively prepped and ready to take off to a undisclosed location on the night of November 6th.
