A Glimpse of Things to Come
So now you Democrats have what you want... A Democrat controlled Congress with a Democrat President on the horizon. Hope and change is around the corner! Oh yeah! The stock markets continue to plummet, AIG demands a second, far larger bail out that Congress is allowing, American Express successfully petitions to be classified as a bank so they have easier access to government bail outs, and those responsible for the collapse of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are all in charge of taking government money and giving it to people who made horrific business decisions (with encouragement from the Democrat government) so that nobody is able to learn from their mistakes so that they won't repeat the mistakes in their next endeavor. In addition to all that, where does the money for the bail outs come from? Why, where all the money for the government comes from! YOU! And what they can't take from you, they'll borrow from countries that definitely don't have our best interests in mind and forever drive our national debt higher and higher! What a bright, bright future! All hail the messiah! But just watch them... They'll still somehow manage to blame Bush and the Republicans in a year or two, despite the fact that they've been a minority voice since 2006 and that anything that does or does not pass since 2006 could have been changed solely by the Democrats.
And after all this time of preaching about how the government should "listen to the people" when it comes to things they want to push... When the people speak out against something the liberals don't want, suddenly, they need the courts to get involved and repeal the votes of the people. (Please refer to developments surrounding Proposition 8 in California which, if you haven't heard already, banned homosexual marriages.) You bet... When it comes to these types of things and they think there's a good chance that the people will support it, they scream and holler about how the Republicans are shoving off their morals on everyone by ignoring the majority, but when the very same majority essentially destroys everything a liberal minority has been working for? You suddenly hear no shouts to listen to the people. No, you hear shouts for the government and court systems to step in and overrule the people.
Government overruling people? Courts overruling people? Proposition 8 amended the California constitution to ban gay marriage... But the liberals, ever the sore losers, are still trying to get the courts to say the proposition is unconstitutional. They want to call their constitution unconstitutional... Excuse me? Something being "constitutional" isn't some interpretive idea that's floating around in everyone's mind... Something being "constitutional" is simply what ever is written or not written in the Constitution. Period. If gay marriage is banned in the constitution, you cannot claim it's unconstitutional. It's hilariously stupid!
I just want to say, right now, for those of you who'd say "yeah, well, if they constitutionally allowed gay marriage, you'd be outraged, too". Yeah, I probably would... But first, let me say a couple things. First? I expected California to allow gay marriage... I really did. They're probably the most liberal state in the country. I was extraordinarily pleased when I heard it passed. Unexpected! Second? I'm a conservative... You all know this. Because of that, I was rooting for McCain/Palin. They lost... Badly, when you take electoral votes. As you can see, I am not filling my blog with incredibly vulgar expletives pasted 500 times over... I'm not rioting in the streets of downtown Los Angeles. The majority of Americans felt they wanted Obama as their next president... Even if there was every reason for McCain to ask for a recount in the close states, he didn't. He conceded. It's over, and I'm not bitter. Scared out of my mind, but I have always believed that the way this country elects government officials has been the single best way to run a country and I still think the process works brilliantly.
But Obama isn't even a president yet... He's pretty much nothing right now. He's "President-Elect". He has no power at the moment and he can't do anything. He's not Constitutionally allowed to do anything until Inauguration Day. But he hasn't even done anything yet and we already have a glimpse of what the next four years is going to bring us. A complete and total economic failure due to an increasing amount of bail outs, tax hikes and wealth redistribution that encourages nobody to get off their butt and create new wealth in a time of economic recession and threat of depression. A complete and total override of the peoples' voice, which could and should be considered a treasonous disregard for the government limits placed in the Constitution, when the courts declare gay marriage legal in all states. Obama's going to reduce the size and power of our military like Clinton did... In addition that, Obama said himself that no military has maintained its supremacy in an economic downturn. He's going to wreck the economy AND cut funding in a time where Russia and Iran are both building strength.
What a bright, bright future, indeed! I am so glad we have the Democrats to lead us! Where are the conservatives when you need them? Wake up, Republicans! Centrism is a lie! The Democrats work down the party lines and you're the only ones trying to walk down the middle... Who are people going to vote for? A Democrat or someone who's pretending to be a Democrat? Someone who keeps pushing the same ideas or someone who flip flops more times than a fish out of water? Someone you know is going to react a certain way in any decision or someone who's not going to know how to respond until the crisis rears its ugly head? Take a look at the election! Conservatism never lost where it was up for a vote... True conservatism, that is. Things like gay marriage bans... Rejecting global warming intiatives... True conservative governors and representatives and senators! America is lost for the next 4 years if all this is a foreshadow of things to come, and it IS! We need to rebuild the conservative base and roar back onto the scene with a second Ronald Reagan who will have the guts and strength to clean up the socialist liberal economic mess that will be left behind after an Obama administration. It's rallying time!
