I dread what I feel is coming.

I have had a wonderful life. I have never felt hunger or the privations of involuntary exposure to the elements at their worst (at least not that I couldn’t have escaped from). I have been able to work, and I have been able to experience life, liberty, and happiness.

I have been one of the most fortunate humans ever to inhabit the face of the earth.

But the concept of having to walk along a frozen New England road with no shoes or coat, nowhere to go, no food and no money is not an appealing thought. And everytime I think it can’t happen to me, I remember that we are only a few gallons of gas and a few days worth of food and water away from anarchy and chaos.

And I remember there were a lot of affluent Polish people in 1939 who did that walk on a frozen road with no shoes. I don’t want to be one of them.

Liberals are bent on attacking and destroying the most efficient and productive generator of wealth (capitalism) in their attempts to achieve their utopian goals, and a darn state line isn’t going to stop them from trying.

I grew up in South Florida and remember when the first Cubans arrived. Most were upper middle class or professionals in Cuba before Castro. They arrived in Miami with the clothes on their backs and a few dollars and most didn’t speak English. I find it amazing that in one generation, sometimes two, they have achieved what they have. But it wasn’t easy. Contrast that with the black Americans who have had so much handed to them.

My point is even the downtrodden who want to can fight their way back, given the opportunity. The question is, after Obama, will be still have an opportunity?
