America at a Crossroads – OPINION
Granted Obama can gather a crowd every time he speaks. There will always be those who believe in what he is trying to do. But the fact that the last several special elections have been a promise of better things to come just shows how Americans are waking up to the con.
After all, we have a guy who says he is for the common man, but has alienated just about every group and insulted our citizens at every turn. I started a list the other day because I have had this idea for awhile. Truth is, who hasn’t he attacked? Think about it. Are you on this list? Do you know any of the people on this list or work with someone who is? Do you have family who have been in the Obama cross hairs? Everyday he targets someone new.
- If you drive a pick-up, he thinks you are the problem as he has said in the rally for Martha Coakley against Scott Brown
- If you are in the armed forces Obama has shown his distaste for you in the fact he is giving terrorists their rights while going after the men and women who protect this country
- If you work in the financial industry your wages and bonuses are being “adjusted” because you are greedy
- If you live in Cape Cod, Obama wants to put up a wind farm despite your objections
- If you want everyone on health care, neither the House nor the Senate version has it; an estimated 14 million people will still be without it
At just about every turn Obama is at odds with some segment of our population. Remember, he was the guy who was going to bring the country together with “hope and change”. But it seems we are more divided than ever. And why wouldn’t we be? Wehn people struggle with a poor economy, they get downright cranky!
The real hope is that tomorrow Massachusetts lights the way for the November elections. If Scott Brown can win it will send a message clearer than the “mandate” President Obama says he had after the 2008 elections. It will be a rejection of the Socialist agenda he and his pals in the House and Senate are pushing. But will it be too late to stop health care?
Has anyone stopped to think that if Ted Kennedy were still alive we would not have the opportunity we have at this time? There seems to be a lot of divine providence in the fact that this one little election has such huge significance for our entire country. Is it ordained from on high, or just a cosmic coincidence? I happen to think the former.
All through out history, America has had its challenges that nobody thought we could overcome. Our very existence was not supposed to come about having to face a large and well outfitted British Army. Yet the American spirit surprisingly won out, and we became a free and independent nation.
Then there was the War of 1812. We were nearly defeated again by the British but, thanks to Col. Andrew Jackson and some mistakes made by his enemies the tide was turned at the Battle of New Orleans. It was won by a handful of those pesky Americans from all walks of life… not trained soldiers, but the common folk. The British casualties were enormous while only a few Americans were injured. Though the war was officially over and the peace treaty had been signed days earlier, the news didn’t get to the troops until several months later.
Time and time again, American exceptionalism has triumphed over the forces from outside our country. But today we face an even more sinister threat from within. People who look like they are our friends have invaded our government and taken over the Democrat Party. The Republicans have not been much better in some cases, part of the reason we have come to this place in history. But Conservatism is on the rise and not a moment too soon.
It is my opinion that the Democrat Party no longer represents American values. That is why more moderate Democrats and Independents are turning away from the liberal craziness in droves. In the past both parties used to want what was best for the nation, then argue about the best way to make that happen. But today, we have people fully aware that their legislation is disliked yet they push ahead in spite of our protests. Shady deals abound. Money is wasted to bribe others for votes. This is not democracy; it is tyranny fraught with corruption.
What tomorrow’s election signifies is this; if this “blue” state votes for Scott Brown it will mean a return of conservatism and a rejection of the socialist agenda of the liberals. Though there is still a long way to go, this home of the Puritans, Pilgrims and Patriots will be well on the way to helping our great nation in making a recovery.
