My Predictions for the New Obama "Presidency"
Now that America has shown us all that affirmative action even
works in politics, I've compiled a list of things that you can probably expect
to happen. These predictions are 80% gleaned from information all of us have
access to, and 15% gut instinct based on many years of research, historical
study, and being glued to current affairs. The other 5% is just anger at my
countrymen's stupidity--I admit it.
- Websites and mass emails offering "free grants," courtesy of the government
and "Obama's wealth redistribution." Actually, this one's a freebie, because I
have an E-mail with a date and timestamp of literally minutes after Obama was
declared the winner, offering exactly that.
- Israel will understand this election was the end of any type of assistance,
military or otherwise, from the U.S. , and will stop holding back their defense
at the request of the American administration. Look for a first strike on Iran
soon, as well as increased activity by the Israeli military in general. Israel
is on her own now, and God help us all because of it.
- Look for Iranian retaliation--against American targets. That goes doubly for
other terrorist organizations. We just elected a man with the full endorsement
of every major terrorist group in the world as leader of the free world. It's
the political equivalent of hiring a child molester to baby sit your kids while
you leave for the weekend. Not only is HE going to have fun with your child, but
he'll probably sit and watch while his friends come over and do it too.
- Look for far-left justices appointed to the Supreme Court, effectively tying
up the entire government in a trifecta of liberal humanism, the buzzwords of
which remain empty platitudes like "hope and change," and the ultimate goal of
which is socialism--and soon, Sharif law.
- Military cases of troops being tried and convicted for killing the enemy in
combat will continue to rise–and the conviction/plea-bargain rate will stay at
nearly 100%, as the government seeks to use the best men and women this country
has to offer as sacrificial lambs on the altar of global appeasement. Those
brave and honorable men who currently reside in prison cells across the country,
stripped of their rank, their careers, families, and their good name, will not
taste free air again for many years. Their sacrifices and their stories will be
forgotten by the general public, remembered only by those of us who continue to
fight for them.
- Look for the slow but steady erosion of rights you have enjoyed for your
entire lives--all the while being told it's "for your own good." Restrictions on
gun ownership, home schooling, encouraged dependence on the ever-growing federal
government. More nanny-state provisions will be put into place to protect the
"disadvantaged" and the "poor," (read: lazy, uneducated, unwilling to better
themselves) even while groups li ke the unborn, the mentally handicapped,
elderly, and terminally ill are slowly pushed toward euthanasia. Of course, this
will be done with feel-good phrases like "death with dignity," "not wanting to
be a burden," and "merciful release from suffering," all of which ignore the
basic fact that we are killing people without their consent for the "good of the
people." Before you tell me I'm crazy, let's just remember that Barack Obama was
the ONLY senator in the Illinois state senate to vote against providing medical
care for babies who were inconsiderate enough to survive an abortion. Also, look
for taxes to go up. Yes, they'll go up.
- You think the economy is bad now? Just wait. You'll have the most expensive
"free" health care ever. Bread lines aren't just for Russians anymore.
We have traded experience for color, freedom for slavery--and the irony is that
the average American sheeple thinks their vote somehow righted an ancient wrong,
somehow ENDED the specter of slavery and ushered in some beautiful era of
liberty. In reality, we are about to be less free than you ever thought
possible.
I watched the faces of those crowded into the mob (excuse the pun) in Chicago .
They stared at Obama like he was a god, an idol, a panacea to their every want
and need. We have truly failed as a nation if we are at the point where we feel
we must look to one man to take care of us all, to be our father figure and our
sugar daddy.
We have lost not only the "can-do" attitude of past generations, but the
"MUST-do" attitude of our forefathers. We have allowed ourselves to become
reduced from Patrick Henry's proud cry of "liberty or death" to the sniveling,
whining idea that we are owed something. We have gone from being the honorable
defenders of freedom, to being told we are the problem.
The eyes of Obama and McCain were also telling. McCain acted with class and
grace in his concession speech, offering the most honorable response I've seen
yet. I don't agree with all of McCain's positions, but it cannot be denied that
the man has served his nation--at permanent and severe detriment to himself--for
half a century.
His eyes were clear and sincere, honest. His speech underlined the very reasons
why, of the two men offered, he was hands down the best choice.
On the other hand, Obama's eyes were cold, calculating. His manner was smug and
still carried the arrogance he has always had. His facial expression was one of
barely disguised disdain for everything people like me believe in.
His body language was smooth, polished--too much so. He talked of patriotism as
though it is a value he is familiar with--and yet, his horrifying attitude
toward the country he now leads is as well-documented as his friendships with
those who seek its demise. He is charismatic to those who don't know what to
look for, and he is inspiring to t hose who cannot or will not think for
themselves. However, too many who voted for him are guilty of the most dangerous
kind of hypocrisy.
You see, we are told daily that we must not see color, just mankind. (We are all
family, you know--or so we're told.) And yet Barack Obama was handed the White
House on a silver platter by a fawning media, a bevy of foreign donors (who, to
this day and in violation of U.S. election laws, remain nameless and unaccounted
for), and a populace who voted based on color instead of right and wrong--even
in the face of the most damning evidence against a Presidential candidate in
many years , perhaps ever.
It is said that the people receive the government they deserve. Sadly, I fear
that's correct. We have become complacent, unwilling to see the writing on the
wall, content to frolic in the warm water without bothering to notice that it's
been getting hotter by the minute. We are two seconds from a rolling boil--and
perhaps it is already too late.
So, liberals, enjoy your victory. Jump around. Have a party, file for your free
grants. Scream "Gimme my handout!" and make fun of those of us who fought to
make sure your "messiah" didn't get access to the most powerful position in the
world. Just remember when it all comes crashing down: You own the White House,
the Congress, and soon the Supreme Court. You have no one to blame but
yourselves for the mess you just created.
As for me, I'm buying my handguns this week so I have an answer for those who
will come try to take them.
