Oh wow things are just going totally to pieces aren’t they?
I mean, we are seeing the dominoes tumble down as we speak. We haven’t seen nothing yet though. If OBama gets in prepare to be horrified speechless.
Wow oh wow. This is not the country I remember from even 10 years ago.
Anyone with a brain knows the answer is to drill for more oil rather than let govt dolts control what bits we have now.
The problem is that the average American DOESN’T have a brain when it comes to issues like this. We would like to think that the average American understand the things us FReepers kind of take for granted. But the truth is they are brainwashed by propaganda, and probably don’t even recognize these proposals as outright socialism. And, if they do - half of them would applaud it! The real threat in all of this is the average American is wholly unaware of what is really going on in Washington. The only thing they hear are soundbites on the evening news, or biased articles in their papers.
My husband was having a discussion last night with some of the guys he works with - they were talking about Obama, and didn’t even have a clue as to some of the things he really stood for. Granted, they weren’t going to vote for him anyway, but they were in complete disbelief when my husband brought up the lapel pin thing, and the no hand over the heart for the anthem thing. They had never even HEARD about it! And, honestly, the only reason my husband knew about it is because I am very interested in politics personally, and of course, because I post here...
We have a herculean task ahead of us as a nation if we are to save this country from socialism in all of its various forms. The first task is to educate people as to WHY socialism is bad. It’s not enough to point to the countries where it has failed because the socialists come back with “well we’ll do it BETTER”.
UGH... obviously I could go on and on. Sometimes I do worry that we WON’T be able to stop this until our citizenry goes through the same things those in China face now, and what Russia’s people faced in the past under Stalin, etc...
This isn't the America I knew.
