I’m not scared, but I’m profoundly bummed.
My country is changing in two fundamental ways:
It is becoming a socialist nation. Since this will be socialism on the largest scale ever tried, the fallout from the inherent unsustainability of socialism will be particularly dangerous-—however it is manifested and reacted to.
It is becoming not only “not a Christian nation,” but an anti-Christian nation.
With universal health care, for example, we will become the abortion capital of the world, all paid for by our tax dollars. Abortion will be actively promoted by the federal government (”us”) as a way to contain welfare costs, since many children are born directly into poverty in successive generations.
2010 is one opportunity to provide a little bit of a pushback, but without a true grassroots revolution at the ballot box, 2010 will be just a blip on the screen.
Those who said “so what, Obama will be 4 and out” were, as I have repeatedly said, crazy. What the Rats, especially unopposed, will accomplish in one year, never mind four, eight or sixteen, will NEVER be undone, any more than LBJ’s legacy in creating the welfare state and perpetual ghettos will ever be undone.
“Since this will be socialism on the largest scale ever tried”
How is it bigger than the USSR?
