This was posted over at Liestoppers. As soon as I read it I knew people here at FR would find it interesting. Not sure if Texas Mom here is the same one over there. We’ll find out.

You mirrored my thoughts perfectly. I have four grown children and 14 grand children. It worries and saddens me that they may never again know freedom as we have known it.The people who would vote gladly for Obama haven’t a clue as to how bad it will be. They will be the ones protesting the loudest after they realize what they have done. But it will be too late by then.I value our freedoms ,but I fear that we have turned our back on the very principals and morals that this country was founded upon. And turned our backs on God. Now I worry as to what will transpire. Heaven help us.

Mentioned in blog.

“I can only remind them of what the Soviet defector/spy said in his interview. After the takeover is completed, their usefulness will be at an end. I suspect that the media will be surprised when “they come for them.” They should be more careful in what they wish for.”

Bump, the only good thing that I can think of after reading this article is that the obama mama is still a mama will wake up once the political smoke of election time clears.

The problem is that people with no shame don’t care how you feel about them.

They will be the ones protesting the loudest after they realize what they have done.

A few, a very few, will. Most will say nothing. If pressed, they'll say "it's just the way of the world, what can I do about it?"

I’m reserving judgment until the election results come in. I want confirmation that the voters of this country have actually gone insame.

The people of this country are not going to know what hit them. When they get a look at the real Obambi and his policies will they be outraged? When the Fairness doctrine is passed and Rush and Sean and Mike and Hugh are silenced will they be outraged? When the congress passes legislation repealing the ammendment that says a president can only be president for 8 years will they be outraged? When they come for our guns will they be outraged. When they come for us will they finally outraged? I am ashamed of Americans far and wide right now. We fought the Soviets for 60 years and they are finally coming home and the American people are going let them walk in. A bloodless revolution till the revolutionaries are are in charge.
Sorry for the rant.

I’ve been up at nights lately, wondering what kind of America my children will live in. I am going to pray that all of this socialsim garbage is just a bump in the road and our Country, as a whole, will finally come to it’s senses. I believe that either McCain or Obama will be the catalyst for finally turning in the conservative direction. How much damage is done between now and then, we’ll see.

Whether McCain wins or loses, I will no longer be calling myself a Republican. I am mostly ashamed of the GOP at this point.

Then educate them! Talk to them, in the mall, salons, waiting rooms, grocery stores.....

Do it and REMEMBER the White Rose!

You are really very right.
It breaks the hearts of those that value justice and justness that these things happen.

Disappointed in many people in this Nation, not all.

Disappointed in the leadership of our Nation. Especially those in Washington, D.C.. and our Congress mainly.

This in not the United States that it once was. A lot has changed in the 81+ years that I have been here.

Some of the changes have been good, but for the most part very poor.

Most positive changes involve advances in technology.

Most negative changes are in the area of character, which to me is far more important. There is not much that is commendable in this area.

Just an opinion viewed from 81+ years.

Unfortunately, there is jusr more HATRED inculcated in our people and very little LOVE. When that emotion rules, we are lost. Just look at the loveless nation of China or Russia.
