How soon will Americans realize they have made a huge mistake? How long will it take for people who are drunk with utopian euphoria to wake up with a big hangover and realize they made a big mistake? Or, has America truly changed form a country of independent, self-reliant, God-loving people to a country of people waiting on handouts and turning their backs on the unborn and, God forbid, the born-alive who as Obama said " would
burden the original decision of the woman and the physician" if there was an effort to save them.
What we have done is elect a President who has never really accomplished anything. Obama worked for only 143 days in the Senate before he started running for President. In addition, we still do not know a lot about his history because the media never did properly vet him. There is still a large portion of his life that no one seems to know about and ask yourself this, how many people from Obama's past have come out to vouch for his character? Even John Kerry was able to find people from his past who would vouch for his leadership and character. I can not think of one person; but I do know that, despite the mainstream medias attempts to hide his past, we have learned about some of his associates. William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Tony Resco are all prominent figures from Obama's past and they represent some of the most corrupt, radical, American haiting ideas that we know.
Many American's say they are worried about the economy, yet they voted for a man who will raise taxes and spend money like a drunken sailor. The truth is, they are not worried about America's economy, they are worried about their own personal economy. Unfortunately, far too many Americans would rather depend on the government than rely on themselves. However, no one stops to think that when the "evil rich" see their taxes go up they will look for ways to cut expenses. One of the biggest expenses for any business is personnell. Therefore, we will see a rise in unemplyment and the very same people who thought Obama would help them get ahead will be looking for a job.
A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters
discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public
treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the
candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with
the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose
fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.”
Alexander Tyler
Many Americans say they are worried about national security, yet they voted for a man who will cut military spending and try to pre-maturely pull our troops out of Iraq, despite the fact that we are having great success there. Both of these scenarios could have serious consequences to our national security. If we leave Iraq too soon, the region will fall to the Islamic terrorists and our ally Isreal will be forced to defend itself, which could lead to a major world conflict. Cutting military spending speaks for itself. We have to be able to defend ourselves from Islamic terrorists, Iran, North Korea and a resurgent Russia.
I could go on and on about the ironies in this election, but I think informed Americans get the point. The problem is we are preaching to the choir. The people who will read this (the informed) are, for the most part, in agreement. The libs have a tremendous advantage to push their agenda through the avenues of the mainstream media, public schools, liberal universities and hollywood. As conservatives we have got to figure out how to articulate our values so we can turn this country around. However, we must be careful not to water down conservatism. We have got to figure out a way to educate people on the importance of a small government, strong military and strong family values.
I believe that we are at a critical time in our history. At some point, Americans are going to realize we made a huge mistake and swing the pendulum back to the right or we are just going shrug our shoulders and accept the radical views of the left.
The future of our country depends on conservatives no less than it did when Washington faced the British, when Lincoln faced the Confederates, and when Reagan faced the evil empire of the Soviet Union.
