I have watched the events since the coronation of our new messiah with great vindication. You will have to take me at my word that I find no comfort in the fact that i and many of the Conservative pundits were right about this guy. In fact i think we were all wrong. This guy is more liberal than any of us would have ever dreamed. and one of the first things they do is pass a power grab so huge that Joe Stalin would blush. The sad part is we, the American people, are bending over and saying "give it to me! we NEED this enema" It seems we were wrong about the conservatives being the silent majority in this country. Of course toward the end of the 08 campaign, Obama sounded more like Ronaldus Magnus (Ronald Reagan) than the Republican candidate did.
I am disheartened at the level of complacency that we show toward our Government. We seem to have forgotten that WE, the people, elect the government. they work for us not the other way around. They should rely on us. Instead we have politicians saying what we want to hear in order to get elected. There seems to be no integrity in the process anymore. We rely on a national press core that pushes it's own agenda to vet our candidates for national office and, this election cycle, we have allowed them to choose the candidates they wanted to run. I am not sure that we will be able to elect anyone that will have the testicular fortitude to roll back the changes that will be made when the Spending bill gets through Congress.
I hate to sound defeatist. I REALY do but, I believe they will ignore the will of the people that put them there in the arrogant notion that they know what is best for you. Better than you know your self. I really think we could flood the halls of congress with calls, faxes and letters expressing our displeasure at the ‘stimulus’ bill they are trying to enact and it would make no difference what so ever.
That being said, I will not be one that will call for an armed revolt. There are many that think it is the only way to fix the mess. I do not think there is a need for that. For the last 200+ years we have had a peaceful transfer of power. I believe the Democrats will be beaten in 2012. If that happens and the transfer does not happen, we can talk about it. I do know that in 2010 the Republicans will make great strides in regaining the control we have lost over the last few years.
I do hope that we have learned a lesson and will run as what we are. Small Government, Strong National Defense and safe Homeland Conservatives. As far as a remedy, we are doing what we should be. Call Congress, your representatives, email them fax them. inundate the switchboard with messages that they are on the wrong track and we do not need socialized health care! I am just afraid there are not enough of us to make a difference.
