In the early stages of his Presidency Abraham Lincoln commissioned a blue ribbon panel of the nation's most prominent scholars to determine the answer to the following question. "What in life can be defined as always remaining constant?" After many months of arduous discussion and debate, these men of letters reported back to the President their mutually agreed upon finding. Their conclusion..."Change." Of all the variables that exist in the physical universe, change is the most constant.
So, let me ask you... After six months of our 44th President of our United States being at the helm of our ship of state, "How's that working out for you?" Is Barack Obama's pre-election slogan of "Change We Can Believe In" still in your heart of hearts change you can believe in...or even barely tolerate??
On the eve of our nation celebrating it's 233rd birthday, I am reticent to delve into a detailed illumination of the myriad of radical policies and socialistic agenda set forth thus far by President Obama, each and all being worshipfully embraced by the Democratic controlled Congress. Excluding the biased liberal news media that either ignores our President's foibles or spins them favorably to the contrary, any person who chooses to be personally invested in the direction that our country is headed at breakneck speed must surely realize that our elected officials in Washington are hellbent on taking the governance of this country out of the capable hands of the electorate and assuming all such powers unto themselves. What we may feel or fervently express to the contrary is no longer relevant in their view. These pompous suits have convinced themselves that they know better than do we what is "best" for our country. I personally strongly protest this prevalent egotistical and dictatorial mindset.
To suggest, as does Washington's governing elite and parroted daily by the liberal media, that the State of our Union is on the threshold of recovering from its economic woes is to deny the verifiable sources that factually state the opposite. To apathetically believe the Obama administration's spin that the nation's unemployment rate has slowed significantly and thus heralds the ushering in of a complete economic recovery is to ignore the devastating consequences for the people who were among those individuals that just this month or this week lost their jobs. It is not unlike a news story of a crash of a commercial airliner in which the initial reports stated that all souls on board had perished, only to be revised exuberantly in a later report that indeed there had been one lone survivor. Yes, we should celebrate and be thankful that this one soul was spared. But the fact of the matter remains, the plane did smash violently into the ground and the carnage is grotesquely evident everywhere. For God's sakes people, quite believing Obama and his lackey Congressional torch bearers when they continue to pee on your socks and tell you it's only raining! There's carnage in the land that is devastating the hopes and dreams of millions of Americans.
Want to see what "Change you can believe in" will look like in the coming months and years for you and your children unless we take concerted action to bring this tax and spend madness to a stop? Reach deep into both of you pant pockets and pull the fabric out so that each is turned inside out. That's all that you and your children will have left after Obama and Congress enact all of their intended socialistic programs. So, I ask you again, how do you like all of this change you've been promised? Come the mid-term elections in 2010 you can take matters into your own hands once again and vote for candidates that believe that the money you earn is best left in your discretionary care. Or you can continue to be idealistic and/or empathic and believe that President Obama does indeed walk on water and he will soon part the Red Seas of "Hope" enabling you to walk unscathed to the distant shore of bountiful prosperity. Just mindlessly fork over a little more of your hard-earned take home pay (if you can even find another job that pays reasonable wages) and all will be well again in your little world. Well...good luck with that...
