  • Turning Point

    I have to agree with the media and the Obama supporters about Obama’s election and re-election being historic, however, I do not agree with the reasons they give.

    Older people have been telling me that Democrats will come and go, and the country still carries on without the world ending.  While I do agree that the country may persist a while longer in some form, I do not agree that this is just another victory for the Democrats that we will recover from later.  The USSR lived by the methodology of taking two steps forward and one step back.  Communists in other parts of the world live by this as well.  With each turn the Democrats have in power they push for something, and maybe they only get half of it but over time it all adds up, resulting in fundamental change.

    Never before have I seen so much class warfare as I did in this last election.  It is as though the country has undergone a moral inversion, where sloth and irresponsibility are touted as virtues, and hard work and success are condemned as vices.  It is entirely antithetical to the philosophical basis on which this country was founded.  While I realize that there are many who openly disagree with the foundational basis for this country, it is important to remember that the success we have is because of that, and the further we get away from that basis the more rocky things will become.  And indeed things have become more rocky.

    While I am not entirely convinced that this election was not rigged, one thing remains certain, Obamacare is here to stay, and the values that made this country prosperous are going out the door.  Now there is no way to get rid of Obamacare, and Obama will certainly replace any Supreme Court Justices who retire with more liberals.  Too many people have turned their backs on freedom, thinking that freedom is free, and taking freedom for granted.  It’s not, and now the drones are here to stay, as is government regulation of our medical care, and the numbers of people dependent upon the government will only grow from now on. 

    Freedom is the most important thing you can have in this world.  Yes freedom entails some risks.  If you make bad decisions you may experience failure, and if you don’t have a strong family to support you then you may have to experience some hardships, but the opportunities of freedom by far outweight the risks.  What you earn is yours, what you buy is yours, and you have the ability to freely dissent from anyone and everyone on any topic you wish.  You cannot go to jail for speaking your mind, you are free to criticize politicians, religions, ideologies, and anything you want.  You have the ability to choose what sort of medical coverage you want, even opting to have none if you wish, and what you can eat.  You have privacy, and you do not have to live in a Big Brother/suveillance state.  These days are gone now.  If anyone is curious about where we are headed they need only look to England.

    That last election was a pivot point, and there is no way to turn things back now.

    This video pretty much sums up what many of us are thinking now:
