And it came to pass in the Age of Insanity that the people of the land called America, having lost their morals, their initiative, and their will to defend their liberties, chose as their Supreme Leader that person known as "The One".
He emerged from the vapors with a message that had no meaning; but He hypnotized the people telling them, "I am sent to save you. My lack of experience, my questionable ethics, my monstrous ego, and my association with evil doers are of no consequence for I shall save you with Hope and Change. Go, therefore, and proclaim throughout the land that he who preceded me is evil, that he has defiled the nation, and that all he has built must be destroyed." And the people rejoiced, for even though they knew not what "The One" would do, he had promised that it was good; and they believed.
And "The One" said, "We live in the greatest country in the world. Help me change everything about it!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah! Change is good!"
Then He said, "We are going to tax the rich fat-cats."
And the people said, "Sock it to them! And redistribute their wealth."
And the people said, "Show us the money!"
And then He said, "Redistribution of wealth is good for everybody"
And Joe the plumber asked, "Are you kidding me? You're going to steal my money and give it to the deadbeats??" And "The One" ridiculed and taunted him, and Joe's personal records were hacked and publicized.
One lone reporter asked, "Isn't that Marxist policy?" And she was banished from the kingdom!
Then a citizen asked, "With no foreign relations experience and having zero military experience or knowledge, how will you deal with radical terrorists?"
And "The One" said, "Simple. I shall sit with them and talk with them and show them how nice we really are; and they will forget that they ever wanted to kill us all!" And the people said, "Hallelujah!! We are safe at last, and we can beat our weapons into free cars for the people!"
Then "The One" said, "I shall give 95% of you lower taxes."
And one, lone voice said, "But 40% of us don't pay ANY taxes."
So "The One" said, "Then I shall give you some of the taxes the fat-cats pay!"
And the people said, "Hallelujah!! Show us the money!"
Then "The One" said, "I shall tax your Capital Gains when you sell your homes!"
And the people yawned and the slumping housing market collapsed.
And He said, "I shall mandate employer- funded health care for EVERY worker and raise the minimum wage. And I shall give every person unlimited healthcare and medicine and transportation to the clinics."
And the people said, "Give me some of that!"
Then he said, "I shall penalize employers who ship jobs overseas."
And the people said, "Where's my rebate check?"
Then "The One" said, "I shall bankrupt the coal industry and electricity rates will skyrocket!"
And the people said, "Coal is dirty, coal is evil, no more coal! But we don't care for that part about higher electric rates."
So "The One" said, "Not to worry. If your rebate isn't enough to cover your expenses, we shall bail you out. Just sign up with ACORN and your troubles are over!"
Then He said, "Illegal immigrants feel scorned and slighted. Let's grant them amnesty,Social Security, free education, free lunches, free medical care, bi-lingual signs and guaranteed housing..."
And the people said, "Hallelujah!!" And they made him King!
And so it came to pass that employers, facing spiraling costs and ever-higher taxes, raised their prices and laid off workers. Others simply gave up and went out of business and the economy sank like unto a rock dropped from a cliff. The banking industry was destroyed. Manufacturing slowed to a crawl. And more of the people were without a means of support.
Then "The One" said, "I am the "The One" - The Messiah - and I'm here to save you! We shall just print more money so everyone will have enough!"
But our foreign trading partners said unto Him, "Wait a minute. Your dollar is not worth a pile of camel dung! You will have to pay more..."
And the people said, "Wait a minute. That is unfair!!"
And the world said, "Neither are these other idiotic programs you have embraced. Lo, you have become a Socialist state and a second-rate power. Now you shall play by our rules!"
And the people cried out, "Alas, alas!! What have we done?"
But yea verily, it was too late. The people set upon "The One" and spat upon him and stoned him, and his name was dung. And the once mighty nation was no more; and the once proud people were without sustenance or shelter or hope. And the Change "The One" had given them was as like unto a poison that had destroyed them and like a whirlwind that consumed all that they had built.
And the people beat their chests in despair and cried out in anguish, "Give us back our nation and our pride and our hope!!" But it was too late, and their homeland was no more.
You may think this is a fairy tale, but it's not.
It's happening RIGHT NOW!
RIGHT NOW IN AMERICA!
This article just struck me as a powerful perspective on what can be seen as our current path to destruction. Our country is unfortunately being run into the ground by a bunch of inept, freedom-hating, fear-mongering, juveniles cloaked in socialism when they really have no clue what our Founding Fathers intended for this great country.
God help us - I am truly sad for America.
Welcome aboard! But this isn’t breaking news, sad to say.
You can ask the mod_erator to move it to a more appropriate section. I’m sure they’ll understand, first time and all.
Good post. Wake up, America. The One is destroying everything we hold dear!!!!
Best first post I have ever seen. already sent to my mailing list! Thanks.
Ugh, creepy. Makes me think of Animal Farm. It is very scary what is happening here. And so many of the dummies who voted this clown in won’t ever realize that THEY have done this to America with their reckless support of The One. Many others will be dead long before America is fully destroyed and so they’ll never know what their votes have wrought. That’s the unfair part of it to me—that they’ll never have to live with the consequences of their foolish voting.
You did a good job posting your article, by the way! I never would have known it was your first time if you hadn’t said so. Keep it up! :)
I am not a defeatist, if anything I am an optimist and have no doubt our country will survive.
What kind of country will it be?
It will be to the libs when they finally figure it out.

I agree. I had just mailed that same letter to my email list. Very well done. Surely people can understand that.
Not really. We have never had a president trying to take down America as we do now.
A Marxist as President - quite something to worry about with a country filled with stupid people wanting everyone else to pay for their needs.
Even though it may sound like heresy, be of some good cheer. America has survived worse than Obama. Obama’s rejecting of America’s foundations is what is going to block what he wants to do, although this will have to go on until the end of his term.
He’s played his cards, and lost. While he’ll keep going, the wind is out of his sails.
The doors are now WIDE OPEN for fresh conservatives and fresh conservative ideas to begin their latest play for the main stage, and this time we should do it right.
I know this is off the charts, and a radical idea .......
But,
I am beginning to see the only solution is succession from the U.S. by at least Texas (my state). Why let Obama ruin America for all of us. It might be hard going it alone, but at least we would have a sane government, we could go broke working to save our America (although much smaller) than allowing America to be taken over from within our own government and destroyed.
If a few states followed suit, maybe they would band together and recreate a smaller America free from the terrors of Obama’s view of America.
Let Obama have New York, California, Florida and let him pay for their free benefits to all except the working taxpayer. At least he would have to come up with the money from the non-workers, non-Americans and Texas and others of like mind could forge ahead keeping a government based on the constitution.
I agree, but he did have 11 years to prepare.
That's a fine first offering, and it couldn't be more timely. Welcome into the light, brother Freeper.
Bullcrap!
That would dishonor the thousands of brave men who gave their lives to defend this country, by ceding hallowed US ground to TRAITORS!
Banish the thought, man! Fight for every square inch!
The bigger problem is that WE just by being part of FR are paying attention.... how many of those who do not have a FR are paying attention?
Like the story will it be too late when they do? Everything before did not face such a prefect storm of liberalism. They were able to wake-up and step back to a country they knew and a place close to where they left it time and tone.
Will that still be there when they awake to near what they used to have? I think not.
When they saw what was happening do you think they would hang out in have New York, California, Florida and let Obama pay for their free benefits?
No, and Detroit, LA, Philly, New York show they will not, they will flow to the new Yellow Brick roads. States and cities with better living and the magnetism of success draw them in hopes of getting a new source of the free lunch.
Like leaches they latch on and attempt to suck the blood from them tool.
Not if the New USA does what the Old USA should have done, namely, establish and defend and police its borders.
