Time to Wake Up

Our country is in trouble and most people don’t even realize it.  You don’t see and hear much about it on the news media.  I think part of the reason is that the liberal media is under governmental pressure not to make public things that our government is doing that are not in our best interests.  I don’t think a lot of people realize what political and governmental liberalism or progressiveness really means.

What it doesn't mean is a government that is concerned with protecting the sovereignty of your individual rights and freedom. It means just the opposite.  Young people who didn’t grow up during the cold war and witness the harsh realities of communism don't understand what they would be giving up.  Sure, it sounds really nice to have the government take care of your every need---a place to live, food, clothing, free cell phone, free medical care.  Under a communist regime, you could only expect the bare minimum and it would never get any better.  It would be like living on welfare for life.

This is the direction Obama is driving our country.  By increasing the number of people dependent on welfare and social security disability, he won a second term in office by only 3% of the vote.  People dependent on the government, worried they could lose their benefits voted for Obama.  Most of these people have no idea that this is all part of Obama’s plan to destroy the economy to implode our socio-economic system.  It will make the Great Depression of the 1930s seem small.

But it was the Great Depression that gave rise to Nazism and Hitler’s  totalitarian single-party state. I have come to believe this what Obama has in mind.  His Affordable Care Act commonly known as Obamacare has already done a great deal of damage.  People are losing their health insurance, losing their jobs or having their hours cut. In stead of cutting back on government and spending, he is expanding government and spending more.

The Tea Party is not our enemy.  Conservatives are not the enemy.  They are the ones who believe in individual freedom---truth, justice, and the American way.   I believe that if we don’t help them rebuild a government that is of the people, by the people, and for the people, all our freedoms will be gone and our lives will be like 1984---the book.  We are already on our way there, so it’s time people wake up and smell the coffee.  cm
