All over the country in cities,towns, hamlets, villages and rural areas the lights
are coming on as Americans realize, to their dismay, what they have done in electing
a professional politician devoid of practical wisdom and a Democratic congressional
"super majority." The popular term is "buyer's remorse," but unfortunately there are no
"lemon laws" to protect us from this blunder. Alas, as the cartoon character would have
it, "we have met the enemy and he is US."
Weary of war and corruption in government, and angered by Republicans who refused
to honor their own principles, the country rushed headlong into the waiting arms of a
glib talking, high tech, race-baiting, charismatic rock star politican with zero experience
in governing and a virulent left-wing agenda. Crossover Republicans and Independents
joined hands to vote for "change we need," only to find out that the change the Democrats
had in mind wasn't quite the one mainstream America signed on for. So we were stupid!
Hoping that under the leadership of a fresh face who promised to "govern from the
center," the Democratic "leopard" would, in fact, change its spots, we decided to roll
the dice. We could have gotten better odds in Vegas.
Just a few months down this faux "yellow brck road" we have learned with horror
just what Oz(bama) has in mind for us. Multi-trillion dollar deficits, government
ownership of banks, automakers, financial services companies and insurance companies,
projected tax rates topping the nation's all-time highs, energy rationing and a
cap-and-trade system that amounts to an energy tax that will be the largest single
tax increase in American history are just the tip of the iceberg. The discrediting of the
Central Intelligence Agency, our first line of defense against terrorism, the importation
of deadly terrorists from Guantanamo Bay to American soil, government funded
abortion on demand, rampant, out-of-control government borroweing and spending
and government funded healthcare that is so embarrassingly poor that Democrats
in congress won't even sign onto abill that would force them to purchase it virtually
guarantee unsustainable future deficits and doom our posterity to a world in
which they will likely have to work for 35 cents on the dollar because the
government will have to take the rest in order to stay afloat.
Add to that a president who specializes in America-bashing international apology
tours, who grovels before foreign leaders, who publicly disavows the nation's
Christian heritage and who openly promises homosexual activists, "I will be your
champion." Now, search your heart and look me in the eye. Is THAT the change
you can believe in? Hmmm.
But in 2010 and 2012 we have the chance to fix this, if there's anything left to
fix. It must be done at the ballot box, and if half of all registered voters continue
sitting home eating bon bons while the ACORN army is bussed to the polls with
strict instructions to vote Democrat, if misty-eyed centrist Republicans and
independents continue to embrace the illusion that Obama will lead us to Utopia
and Democrats will develop fiscal responsibility, or that the "culture of corruption"
that has now devolved into a cesspool will somehow right itself, then it will never
happen. And after two terms of this the damage may well be irreversible.
Face the fact! The silent majority absolutely must find a voice and speak with
deafening certainty to sweep every deficit spending, welfare-doling, tax hiking,
abortionizing, CIA slandering, America bashing, socialist loving, healtchcare
controlling, bail-out funding, pork barrel piling, debate squelching Democrat
out of office. Otherwise we might as well "take off and nuke the site from
orbit. It's the only way." (From Aliens).
