A tragedy happened late last night when the United States of America passed away. The nation that stood as a beacon of light on a hill of hope is no longer. The light has been extinguished and the hill transformed into a smoldering mound of hopelessness and despair as the votes of the sheep have turned the land of opportunity, once regarded for self reliance and rugged individualism into a nanny state where hard work and success are now regarded as criminal.
Think of how low our nation has stooped in this election. Can you imagine our parent’s or their parent’s generation electing a president so woefully inexperienced and radical? By his own admission, Barack Obama’s mentors have included Franklin Davis Marshall, an avowed communist, William Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist, Jeremiah Wright, a racist and anti-Semitic preacher, Rashid Khalidi, an Islamic fascist and Tony Rezko, a convicted mobster.
For the first time in my adult life I am not proud of my country, rather I am disgusted at the complete and utter idiocy of the millions of government educated fools who cast their vote for someone who lacks both the character and the credibility to serve in our nations highest office. Make no mistake, I am always proud of true American values and those who embody the real America. However, it is hard to have pride in the economically illiterate masses who have no clue of the true meaning of being an American or the imminent danger to our nation posed by their uninformed vote. For the first time in history we have a president who has no executive experience, no leadership experience and virtually no legislative accomplishments; but at least his angry and bitter wife can finally be proud of her country, which isn’t our country. We have a president whose career has consisted of being a community organizer, working with radical special interest groups such as ACORN, a group notorious for voter fraud that in all likelihood played a role in stealing yesterday’s election.
Barack Obama doesn’t like to be cast as a socialist, but that is precisely what he is. In his own words, he believes in spreading the wealth around. In the words of Karl Marx, his philosophy is from each according to his abilities, to each according to their means. His beliefs have been called many things throughout history. Hitler called them change, Mao called them change, Stalin called them change, Castro called them change, Chavez called them change and now Barack Hussein Obama has called them change.
What exactly is this change? For the past two years we never heard any details of what his change will entail. I realize that details are a minor inconvenience, but so is the preservation of our individual liberties and economic freedom. We know that his change involves confiscation of our wealth and property for the sole purposes of redistribution and expansion of government. We also know that the young, the dumb and the uninformed gave him a pass to do just that in hopes that he would pay off their mortgages and keep their gas tanks filled.
Now it is time that we hold him accountable for all of his promises. In fact, I am sending a monthly invoice for Washington with the expectation that I get a blank check in the mail as a monthly stipend, for it is not fair that I have to work and provide for my family. I expect the government to pay my mortgage, pay off my car, pay my credit card bills, put food on the table, pay for my cable, cell phone and Blockbuster rentals. I also expect a monthly stipend to blow as I please on liquor and cigarettes. Not providing this to each and every American makes Obama a liar, as this was what he has promised to do.
Will he live up to his promises? The answer is absolutely not, as his campaign was as much of a fraud and a sham as he. Rather he will punish those who can and reward those who can’t. The silver lining is that Obama is transparent, his agenda entirely predictably and the results a proven failure. The next two years will be an economic disaster, but we can sacrifice 770 days if the light at the end of the tunnel is the inevitable extinction of the domestic liberal whose agenda is certain to result in an implosion of epidemic proportions.
