BARRY SAYS, “THIS IS WHAT CHANGE LOOKS LIKE”

As I was listening to Rush the other day he made a statement that was not only very true, but extremely frightening in that it was a very accurate way to describe where we are as a country because of what is currently being undertaken by our president and the Democrats in Congress. What he said was, that “America is hanging by a thread." And he is so right. Now that we know for sure that the will of the people is now held in such obvious low regard by those we send to Washington, I think it safe to say that what's going on here is that we are effectively being held hostage by our out of control government. With the vast amounts of money now being spent and with even more control being sought over the lives of "We the people", there is not a more definitive term that can be used to describe where exactly it is that we, as a country, now find ourselves. And unfortunately, Barry is well aware of that very same fact and is standing at the ready with a pair of very sharp scissors with which he means to cut that thread at the very first opportunity that he has. In trying to figure out how we may have ended up here with our country possibly on the verge of something cataclysmic, it would seem that the qualities once used to describe what it means to be an American have morphed over time into qualities that can be viewed as being less than flattering. We seem to have lost something in our transition from the “greatest generation” to today’s “it’s all about me” generation. And we find ourselves where we are moving farther and farther away from where we were once considered the land of the free and the home of the brave toward something that resembles very little of either. Never have we faced a more serious threat to our freedom and prosperity than we do today and because of one man. But we all must realize that the fact we are where we are is totally by design, Barry's, and the Democrat's, design. And you have to ask yourself, have we the people been complicit in all this by somehow being willing participants in what brought such a thing about? And yes, I think some of us were, because there are those among us many who have an ulterior motive in working to bring it all about. And I think a lot of the blame for that can be laid specifically at the feet of a certain segment of the population who, with a little prompting from a certain political party, has come to be so addicted to the benefits provided by their government benefactors that they now possess a somewhat demented entitlement mentality. It is this group of individuals who consistently vote for those who they see as being willing to exchange the increasingly costly entitlements that they receive, for votes. This sense of entitlement, or the sense that they are somehow owed something from the countrymen would seem to reside in the DNA of these people and they are of the opinion that they should never be called upon to make their own way in life. They should be permitted to go about their business making babies they cannot support, doing drugs, demonstrating a general thug-like behavior and the rest of us should be content, even willing, to pick up the tab for the subsidizing of their pathetic and irresponsible behavior. Now it's no difficult task to trace the funds for the any of the many different entitlements, consisting of an ever dwindling amount of available dollars, as they move from the government coffers and into the hands of these "special" recipients. We know for a fact that the lion's share of these entitlements are spread amongst those that reside in that one specific minority group, that same group who, because of either, laziness, stupidity or greed, are willing to put everything aside as long as they remain being very well compensated for their votes. They form a very reliable voting block who consistently provide the means for enabling the Democrats to continue to achieve electoral victories. It's really quite pathetic that one group should have so little self esteem and sense of self-worth as to allow themselves to be so blatantly manipulated by the politically corrupt in our society. I suppose I wouldn't mind so much if their behavior did not have such a burdensome impact on me, my life and my ability to provide for my family. But it does and in a big, big way. It is because of the en masse voting pattern of these people for the same political party, that those who get elected raise my taxes to fund the social programs which are used to purchase more votes so that they can then get re-elected, so they can then raise my taxes again. It's a vicious cycle resulting in ever higher taxes which causes more damage to the economy because now people are spending an amount on taxes that is greater than their disposable income. But what I just don't understand is why it is that these people permit themselves to remain shackled to their current lifestyle by those they insist upon voting for. It makes absolutely no sense.
Which now brings me to this fairy tale of healthcare "reform" so fondly referred to as "Obamacare" that was recently passed and signed in law by Barry using his 22 pens. While there is more than enough blame to go around here regarding why this aberration was even able to get through the Congress, from the lackluster leadership on our side to all of the corrupt deal making the occurred on the other side, the Democrats would not have been anywhere near the position of being able to achieve their 60+ year dream of controlling our healthcare if not for the very selfish motives stemming from that very select group of voters in our population. Without the help coming from this segment, healthcare would have remained what it was, as nothing but a dream. But no, nothing is ever that easy. Greed breeds corruption and in this instance with certain elected officials feeling that they have this voting block squarely in their pocket, they are now convinced they are responsible to no one, so much so that things have now begun to very rapidly spun out of control. And now with the healthcare "reform" debacle now firmly under their belt and Barry feeling very much emboldened, it's on to passing the next method to be used for the screwing over of the people, that being Cap and Trade legislation, further proof that any semblance of sanity has definitely left the Congressional station with it showing no signs of returning any time soon. As long as there are a substantial number of voters who are eager to sell their votes to highest bidder, I fear opportunities for changing things for the better any time soon are sufficiently negligible. And another item high on the list of "priorities" for Barry and the Democrats is the achieving of an amnesty plan for illegal aliens. The primary objective here is their hope of building up yet another large group of voters that will become indebted to them and just as willing as blacks to sell their votes to the Democrats as well. All of which leaves those of us who continue to take voting as the extreme privilege and valued right that it is, very much out in the cold. It seems as if we have somehow gotten to the point where these days there can be no longer be any such things as honest disagreements. Either we all willingly come to agree with those of the liberal Democrat persuasion or face being call racists, bigots, homophobes or any of a number of other names. Why is it that they never must agree with us, only us with them?
The election this November "will" be the most crucial in my lifetime. I know that this very thing has been said of many other elections, some recent and some not so recent, and like the little boy who cried wolf, now that we truly are coming face to face with an election that is so absolutely crucial, because the result could produce disastrous and dire consequences, no one will listen. And to tell you the truth, I'm not sure how many may be willing to listen to the alarm. But in this case, people must be convinced of the perils lurking in the dark, because the description of it being crucial could not be more applicable or well suited for this coming election in November. Never before, at least in my lifetime, has there been such a pivotal election, where there exists such a potential, depending on the outcome, for so very radical differences regarding in which direction the winners would wish to take the country. This election will, without a doubt, be "the" one that will define exactly in what direction it will be that we go as country from that point on. I think it very safe to say that it will be, in all likelihood, a referendum by the American people regarding the living in freedom or by government dictates. And it will be one that will define in what kind of country it is in which we choose to live. And should it result with the American people deciding in favor of expanding the size, scope and power of the government, then that thread by which we are presently hanging will surely be severed with the American people having decided, once and for all, that the possessing of freedom and liberty just isn't their gig. They will have stated loud and clear that are they not only comfortable being told what to do by their government, but that they actually desire it for themselves, thinking that it's what is best for them and their families. If that is the direction people want to go in then there is very little we can do to stop it. But they had better be very, very sure because once you willingly give up your freedom, the opportunity to regain it may never come about. And that will truly be a very sad day. For it will be because of people like this that my daughter may spend the rest of her life in servitude to an all powerful government run by corrupt politicians instead of by the people as originally designed. These politicians have an incredibly overinflated sense of importance if they think that they are even remotely capable of taking it upon themselves any attempt to "improve" something that has lasted for over 200 years, and it says a lot about the egos that are possessed by these pathetic and very corrupt individuals.

AMERICA HAS BEEN FOREVER ALTERED…AND FOR WHAT? FOR THE SAKE OF ONE MAN'S EGO, THAT'S WHAT!!
