What has happened to the individualist spirit of the American people? Has it been squashed by the socialist agenda of a ruling class out of control?
The simple answer is yes, the traditional individualism of the American people has been taken hostage by an overgrown, intrusive and increasingly despotic government.
The American people had a moment of sanity last November, when they voted for a partial re-establishment of that individuality that has made the United States the most successful Nation in history.
We voted against the dictatorship of Barak Obama and Nancy Pelosi, but we miserably failed in delivering the Senate back to the People.
While there were some inspiring victories, like LtCol. Allen West in Florida, there were also puzzling results like the re-election of Reid in Nevada, Boxer in California and Murkowski in Alaska.
We the People are still allowing the Marxists in Washington to march our Country toward the abyss.
Years of political correctness have whipped America into a state of submission and dependency that has allowed an openly Socialist individual to move into the Oval Office at a time when the most radical leftist Congress was in place.
Our Nation has surrendered to the forces of evil, the forces of wealth redistribution, the forces of radical Islam, the forces of what Mark Levin describes as “soft tyranny” and we have done so in a slow, almost imperceptible way, masked by the falsity of “this would never happen in America” belief.
In our history, the United States Constitution would have not allowed an usurping government to impose restrictions on Free Speech, and yet today we have an agency of appointed, not elected officials, the FCC, working overtime to accomplish just that. It used to be called Fairness Doctrine, now it is called “civility” and multiculturalism.
The reality is that the Internet has given people a voice. As much as there are cases where people go overboard with their assumptions and conspiracy theories, the freedom of expressing one’s opinion still remains a mainstay of a free society, our society.
Today we witness people like Al Sharpton going on personal crusade in his attempt to silence talk show hosts, especially Rush Linbaugh, mostly because they are succeeding in uncovering the truth of what sort of charlatan he really is.
Sharpton’s latest attempt has amounted to nothing, but how long before a complacent government will give the man a forum?
The most egregious example of tyranny, American style, is the Obamacare debacle. A takeover of a huge portion of the American economy, a bill passed in the dead of night. Legislation that nobody, including those who wrote it, really knows what it entails. Nevertheless a piece of Marxist legislation aimed, as Michigan Representative John Dingell openly declared in March 2010, at controlling the people..
Is this what we really want from the government? To be controlled?
It all comes down to the elitism affecting the ruling class. Nancy Pelosi, one of the worst examples of political perversion, mocked the American people intelligence by declaring that, about Obamacare, “we have to pass the bill to know what’s in it”. Truthfully, that is not the way things should work in our Country.
Yet, many Americans fell for the utopian idea of a government imposed health care coverage, never for a minute understanding the reality of what it meant or what its consequences would be.
The fallacy of Obamacare still remains hidden in the complacency of those who support Obama. Why are people not heeding the message sent by the fact that Congress exempted itself from the law?
Why are people not seeing the hypocrisy of the hundreds of waivers the administration has granted to organizations for the mere reason that they are campaign supporters of Obama?
And why is the People not demanding accountability from the regime on its ignorance of the Federal judgment that Obamacare is unconstitutional?
Again I ask: is this the America we really want?
We are fatally dependent on oil that we import from countries who are not just exporting crude to America, but also Islamo-Fascist ideology and who knows how many jihadists. And still, the administration is stalling any form of attempt to move the Nation toward energy independence.
Obama and his circus are pushing what they describe as “alternative energy sources” without any planning or rationale. Big hoopla was made about the all electric Chevrolet Volt, except that the vehicle is nothing more than an attempt to fog up the issue to the American people.
Ethanol was going to be the way out of dependency from oil, but the only result of that venture was the increase of price of food.
Wind farms, locations peppered by windmills, were also hailed as the solution to production of electricity, except that their contribution is minimal, provided that they do not disturb the view of the Kennedy clan in Massachusetts.
We witness a federal government inciting civil disturbance with its support of the union thugs trying to intimidate elected officials into giving in even more to the demands of a small group of entitlement crazy people, regardless of the trampling of the will of the people.
We also witness a federal government willfully ignoring their constitutional duty of protecting the sovereignty of our Nation by refusing to secure the southern border hence allowing uncounted illegal aliens to enter our country and negatively impact our safety and security.
As a Sheriff on a county in Arizona stated, the very federal government has become the enemy of the country.
Is this the America we want for our children and grandchildren? A bankrupted nation controlled by an out-of-touch group of elitists in Washington dictating every aspect of our lives, from what we drive to what we eat, while they engage in whatever behavior they desire?
Such conditions are the same ones that inspired a group of people in 1776 to take on the most powerful empire on the face of the Earth at the time, the only difference being that today’s tyranny is home made.
So, we jump on the bandwagon when the government tells us that the taking away our liberties is in our best interest.
They tell us that we must be restricted from our First Amendment right, because voicing our dissent is the cause of some deranged individual to engage in some murderous activity, as in the case of the Arizona shooting. At the same time, the government officially covers up the true motivation of an Islamic terrorist who decides to engage in jihad at Ft. Hood.
They also tell us that they must restrict our Second Amendment right for the good of society, while at the same time remaining blind to the invasion of armed illegal aliens across our border.
What do we really see happening is an open collusion between those in government and sworn enemies of America, from the Middle East to South America to Russia to China in foreign policy, while simultaneously giving legitimacy to internal forces of anti-Americanism who have been laying the foundations of their revolution for years.
Union leader like Trumka are vocal about their plans to revolutionize the country, and the thug is a good friend of Obama, not to mention a huge contributor via the money his union takes from its members.
Jodie Evans and her miscreants of Code Pink are not only working overtime to undermine everything that America stands for, including our defense against radical Islam, but they are large contributors to the campaign of guess who? Yes, Barak Obama.
The painfully obvious truth is that the American people have placed in the Oval Office a man that is openly engaged in “changing” our country into a nation controlled by Marxists and Islamist. Such an odd alliance is not really that odd after all, as the prize for the two ideologies is the same: government control. Tyranny!
If the “change” voters were looking for was the transformation of the best country in the world into an unrecognizable third world country in the name of some sort of equality, than they were successful.
If not, if the “changes” are exceeding, negatively, their expectations, then you were duped.
And if you are still not sure of either, then we should take a close look at what is happening to our country and ask ourselves: Is this the America we really want?
I know my answer.
Just my thoughts!
