Vigilance is necessary this time around to insure a free and fair election and to keep the cement of fundamental transformation from hardening into unbreakable rock.
It should be painfully obvious to everyone by now that we are living in the fast-hardening cement of what Barack Obama promised to wildly cheering crowds on the campaign trail in 2008—”a fundamental transformation of America.”
Anyone who can remember back to the decades before the Obama presidency will recall a country committed to fairness and common sense: judging a person based on the content of their character rather than the color of their skin; welcoming a person who came lawfully into this country who applied for citizenship through traditionally prescribed means; never giving a second thought about girls’ and women’s sports being reserved only for a person born female and without a speck of steroids, let alone testosterone, in their bodies; expecting that immensely immature men dressed as fat-slob, over-face-painted, faux women would remain hidden inside “special” bars and clubs and not held up as twerking examples to kindergarten children; acknowledging unequivocally that Marxism was a bad idea and not a glorified ideal; realizing that only a tyrant would actually jail their political opponents for simply questioning highly-suspicious presidential election results; and, generally, in a more fair-minded time: no one even considered ever gleefully calling “evil good and good evil.”
This, of course, is but a very short list of the slop that is being shoveled on a daily basis down the throats of ordinary, common-sense Americans. (We will leave it to the reader to shout out a few dozen more.)
All of this slow-boiling of the pot, with the American-citizen frog paddling lethargically within, began with the nomination of Barack Obama.
People so desperately wanted what Obama was peddling, “Hope and Change,” that they inserted into that second word whatever it was their hearts desired most. And certainly the color of the man’s skin was the huge selling point. Sure, the candidate had no track record, and, let’s face it, had he been white, Hillary Clinton would have been the Democrats’ candidate that election season. But the biracial aspect was seen, perhaps even symbolically, as a way of finally unifying this country after so much racial tension throughout the previous decades.
Many conservatives like to push back on the charge that America is “systemically racist” by pointing to the 2008 election. The basis of their argument: “Would a racist nation vote a black man into office?”
However, isn’t it more accurate to say that voting for someone based on their skin color is also racist? Racism goes both ways. That’s why anyone who says that Blacks cannot be racist is making a racist statement.
“It’s not about skin,” a friend once told me, “it’s about sin.”
The Bible puts it this way: “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” It doesn’t matter who you are; some have a penchant to steal, some to cheat, some to lie, some to murder, and some to treat others in a derogatory way. And, of course, so many of us are pretty good at choosing from time to time a smorgasbord of most everything (and then some) on that list.
So, where does all this leave us?
Except for the bump in the road after the Obama presidency that the left was not anticipating (i.e., the Trump presidency), in a few short years we have fallen as far as Bedford Falls of “It’s a Wonderful Life” had descended into Pottersville. The United States has been transformed into Obamasville.
The hour is late, no doubt, and that pot is on the verge of boiling over. This election will decide.
And if, as some pundits are beginning to believe, the Democrats’ standard-bearer suddenly turns out to be yet another Obama, with the added twist of possibly becoming the history-making First Woman U.S. President—well, let’s just hope there are enough common-sense citizens who would not do something “systemically sexist” by voting for her.

It's the current, official blasphemy law.

No matter who wins or “wins” the election things will go hot. When you sit back and allow the those who would be seen as insane at any other time in our culture to implement their insanity in our faces you justify them in their minds. This is their jihad.
Whoever wins the country is in a death spiral. Just the degree of descent in question.
It’s been worse than my experience of the Carter adm...and that was bad
BTTT
Obama HATES America and has sought to destroy her from the beginning.
“ As Rush pointed out, you don’t “fundamentally transform” something/someone you love.
Obama HATES America and has sought to destroy her from the beginning.”
You nailed it.
Almost. We have fuel, no rationing of gas by license plate yet. Other than that, Biden is worse by making this happen. Tick tock, tick tock. I hope the youngsters who vote wake up to the nightmare that is about to happen.
If we lose the 2024 GE to the leftists, socialists, Marxists, communists, fascists, anarchists etc, the America we grew-up with, knew and loved, is gone.
I don’t hear a lot of people complaining about the mistake of the union. Once in awhile people complain about high prices but rarely about why we have high prices.
Quiet reserve?
I mean why bother having lengthy discussions with pathological liars and/or potato heads?
Crystal Geyser employees in their northern California facility found out on Christmas eve that plant would be closed after Christmas.
Rush also nailed Obama when he said the guy is basically a blank canvas that you can paint however you want to see him - he is a nobody with no history or background and people will make him into whatever they want him to be, or think he is.
I barely remember.
In the old times, before Obamacare, we usually got a doctor appointment instantly.
Surgery - Tomorrow? Friday? when it is better for you?
After the fundamental transformation
The same surgery appointment -
Monday three months from now? Does not work? Then we have some Tuesday five Months from now!
And it costs a lot more than it used to be!!!

We lost one sister in law due to slow cancer treatment and came close to losing a BIL due to basically not being treated with orthopedic and cardiac issues.
My wife’ hip replacement was delayed about 6 months and impacted her healing time.
Trying to get an audiology appt is basically impossible with our health plan. My wife’s hearing has really deteriorated, and we never hear back from her primary care doc on that
issue.
The outside audiologists seem to be in another world with the now over the counter hearing aids.
Tomorrow, I have an appt with an OD/eye doctor to test and fit me with new reading glasses as the OTCs are not working. It took 4 weeks to get this non emergency visit. I had an OD appt. a few months ago and my eye health was/is good for a few years.
Just got back from the grocery store.
Bill was about $90, but the EBT card price was around $60.
Screw the working guy - again.
Yes, exactly. i have noticed that the time to appointment is lengthening since the Obamacare was implemented. Year after year. The time to get the prescription is getting longer too.
The cost of insurance have increased through.
We were always laughing on Canadians and Britons, but we are getting there too!
I think, the problem (among others) is actually the “free” healthcare the “needy” are getting.
Since they pay nothing, what prevents them from going to doctor all the time, even if they do not need to?
E.G. the emergency rooms of the hospitals are full of suspiciously looking people, it looks rather scary there. If you go there, expect to wait half a day at the best!
Communist countries, with “free” healthcare for everybody were notorious for terrible healthcare and incredible waiting lines. To get to doctor was exercise of “whom do you know”. Or whom to bribe.
It is getting like this here.
My wife gave up on getting her hearing test at our PPO and she will be seeing an outside audiologist recommended by 2 friends. Their earliest appt was at the end of March and their fee is $150 versus $20 if we could have gotten an appt., with our PPO.
