It seems so impending, so imminent, so oppressive that we accept the tenants of socialism in this election. Our economy is in shambles, our personal finances are a mess, our nation’s roads, bridges and infrastructure crumbling. The war in Iraq fueling flames of absolutism, and the anxious eyes keep close tabs on the price of oil.
It is as if, it seems, Barack Obama truly is our savior.
The audacity of John McCain, how dare he reject socialism’s siren call! How dare he deny hope and change! Hope and change!
In case you haven’t heard this morning: The Atlantic Ocean has endorsed Barack Obama. No word yet from the Pacific Ocean.
Never in my life did I imagine that we would face such a vote, a referendum on socialism in this country. This election is no longer about fixing our markets, keeping our homes or increasing domestic oil production. This election is about the very heart and soul of America. This election has eclipsed the ordinary and the mundane.
When Barack Hussein Obama came right out and said, “I want to spread the wealth around”, this election ceased being about the issues of today. It ceased being about President Bush, the war in Iraq or Republican politics. It has now become an election of establishing a new order of American political rule and rejecting our Founding principals.
This election is bigger than the Presidential race. Glenn Beck warned us the other day that the French Prime Minister met with President Bush and quote, “laid it all out. He said there could be not rejection of world currency after this financial crises is over”. Things are moving so quick, situations that previously would have taken years of planning and discussion are now being accelerated and acted upon immediately.
Of course, this does not bode well for conservatives who now have less than two weeks to make their case that capitalism should rule and within the free markets lies the solution to our economic woes.
Constitutionalists, at times, seem to act like everybody knows the same basic assumptions of the proper role of government that they do. I am afraid that I longer trust the general public to matters of our heritage or our basic, fundamental principals. I am afraid that the American public will not understand the arguments against world economic and political integration. I think that most people see it, unfortunately, as simply the next thing that must happen.
This has caught me, and most people, off guard. Could you have imagined a year ago that gas prices would have risen as much as they have and that our financial system would be strained so much? It is as if the very course of history is pressing us to surrender to a system greater than our own or hunker down and solve our own problems.
Where are the Patriots of today? Where is our Ronald Reagan? Our Thomas Jefferson? Where is our Ayn Rand? Can we, dare we, reject the inevitable? Hope and Change? What about Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit Of Happiness? Oh, the choices before us.
Dare we man up and say, “Hell No!!”? We shall see come Nov. 4th, we will not be unable to undo this one.
