The people have spoken and have no clue as to what they have really said. They swallowed promises of jelly beans and ice cream by a vendor who has never produced anything but a shiny brightly colored facade from which he is selling empty air. Actually it took Middle Eastern money, Marxist subversives, corrupt Chicago Political Machine, Chicago mobsters, and a lot of hard, devious work on the behalf of Obama Husain Obama to convince “don’t confuse me with the facts” masses to pull the lever for a man who has no accomplishments in his wake except for self promotion.
The reason Obama won was not because he is the better person to be president. He won because he had one goal and one goal only and that was to win. He started his ascendency a long time ago. Republicans have not been watchful and let things get out of control. He organized and made coalitions with as many groups he found that could help him. He cared not what the groups stood for or their goals. He befriended them, used them, and discarded them as it benefited him. The Republican candidate has a moral view of “fairness” that guided his campaign. This and the events that lead to the economic condition defeated our candidate.
The main reason for McCain’s defeat was that the word Republican became synonymous with failed policies, over spending, greed, and a general disregard for the people. Strange because it is the Democrats who are guilty of all these things, not that our Republican legislators and administration didn’t contribute to that Republican image. For the last three decades the American public has been programmed by our educational system for a class struggle pitting the all citizens against those who have succeeded more than the rest of us.
This has fermented a mental state where the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness has been expanded to a right of property and goods that others may possess. It is easy to persuade a public that is dissatisfied with the current situation. Remember there has never been a revolution by a satisfied public. When the public does not feel empowered it is difficult to convince them that they should be self-reliant. Regardless of the reasons or whose fault, Americans saw the surge in our country’s wealth turn into foreclosures and bankruptcies. The public felt powerless and our government’s efforts failed to make a turn around.
Distribution of wealth became very attractive. Whether that will ultimately be the result or not is to be seen. What will happen is that taxes will be increased and spending on things that can not be seen as a direct and immediate benefit to the people (such as military expenditures etc.) will be cut drastically. A definite push towards more of a socialistic America will be made starting with an attempt to socialize the health services. It will happen more slowly than some expected but the trend will start almost immediately.
One wonders what is worse, the things that he said he would do (raise taxes, bankrupt the coal industry, cut military spending including future weapons development, socialize medicine, etc), the things that he may do since he has no experience in anything but self promotion, or waiting for both of these events to happen. I have decided not to worry about what might happen or when (easy to say but hard to do). I will prepare myself to act at the time that this empty suit attempts to mess up this country. Hopefully you all, who now feel disenfranchised, will join me in this endeavor. We must be prepared to counter his attempts to put this country on a path to socialism and destruction. We have to have courage and not be afraid to put our names on petitions, letters, faxes, and emails to all the legislators and government officials. United we will be able to stem the destruction of our Constitution that was so well thought out by our forefathers, fought for, and defended by men and women who risked all to create a new and different way of life that has not been seen before.
Now is the time to start. Now is the time to seek out and mold new and inspiring men and women to represent us. The Democrats got into power in California by seeding the ground. Step by step slowly they moved in. By grooming and electing their own to the school boards, community colleges, city councils, police chiefs, mayors, assembly, and the state senate.
I have been to the bridge just west of there many times. We may have to follow the example shown at that bridge to stop the 0.
At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy nut, the recent implosion had a whiff of manipulation ... all the ingredients were there and had been for a long time - the NINJA mortgages, overvalued stocks, etc., etc. It would take a master manipulator like Soros to bring the components together at just the right time.
It wasn't just the wishes of grass-root conservatives - it was the wishes of some 80% of the voting public. People were genuinely PO'ed about the bailout.
Read this and thought of you.
Why not be angry at the REPUBLICANS who squandered a majority in congress, along with a poor communicator moderate President, and have practically dithered and dallied the party completely out of existance with their go-along to get-along hand reaching?
It is a problem in my societies where Communism is being challenged by Conservatism.
Communists have a lot of free time on their hands. Conservatives has jobs and kids to take care off.
We are often at a natural disadvantage.
I dont think Conservatives can get 1 million people to show up in the street angry about things, but Commies and Liberals seem to be able to mobilize with the snap of a finger. A lot of these people are careeer rabble rousers anyways.
We cleared out some of the RINO's this time and eventually we will get the rest. Yes, in many ways President Bush could have done a better job BUT one thing he did do well is he kept us safe. I am VERY afraid Obama WILL NOT do the same!
Yessir.
And, if McCain had just said "no" he would have been a hero.
Instead, his grandstanding made him look like a dufus and cost him the election, and the taxpayers' children's children's children.
And it was as clear and eloquent as an Ebonics translation of the Illiad.
One hope that I see in G-d giving the Oval Office to constitutionally clueless Obama is that the people will be ultimately be forced to quit sitting on their hands and reconnect with the anti-Socialistic Constitution and its history. Only then will they be able to protect themselves from Socialist Obama's misguided pen.
Indeed, the Founders made the federal Constitution to limit the powers of the federal government, a big negative for establishing Socialism. And since the Constitution has been ignored for so long by big-shot federal spending lawmakers, the federal government growing so powerful through the decades without proper constitutional authorization, that the people could essentially do the following. The people could practically shut down the federal government if they insisted that Obama and the Democratic Congress start respecting the neglected Constitution that they have hypocritically sworn to defend, particularly the following statutes.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 18: To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution (emphasis added) in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.The bottom line is when are fat, dumb, happy and apathetic USA citizens going to take the initiative to draw the line between 13th A. prohibited involuntuary servitude to their fellow citizens on the basis of income and use the anti-Socialistic Constitution to shut down the renegade federal government?10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
