'Hope and change?' Let's start now

As his presidency moves forward, I continue to be convinced that President Obama actually wants our country to fail, in order to abolish our free market system. I also believe that he is systematically carrying out a calculated plan designed to ultimately lead America into the total dependency of it’s citizens on big government. Pure and simple, I firmly believe that this president is a fascist/Marxist, supported by similarly like minded revolutionaries, who’s primary goal is to transform our freedom loving society into one which will ultimately be controlled and ruled over by a type of fascist aristocracy. 

President Obama’s takeover of our free enterprise system reminds me of a “pac man” gone wild. By now most Americans realize that while acting in concert with some accomplices from both parties in the Congress, he has successfully gobbled up control of some strategic banking institutions along with major auto industries through a taxpayer funded bail out plan. Today, as he continues on his quest to take over and transform our competitive health care system, he is also endeavoring to limit our freedom of speech by regulating the Internet. Along with all of this, Obama is also taking bold steps to control even more of our personal lives through the insidious implementation of the costly and meaningless “cap and trade” bill that will soon be brought before Congress.      

In one of his final speeches just before the presidential election, Obama told a stadium filled audience that in five days, he along with all of them would be in a position to fundamentally change America. Unfortunately, for all tax paying Americans the saddest and most demoralizing part of this statement is that what he was actually referring to was the unfair equal distribution of America’s wealth to third world countries. So, just what does the term “equal distribution” really mean and why should Americans feel obligated to give their wealth away? Well, if I understand our President correctly, it will be by the equal distribution of America’s wealth among the world’s poorest countries that will allow this country the opportunity to apologize to the rest of the world for causing most of it’s ills and problems. Conditions that were selfishly caused by America’s misguided desire to acquire it’s wealth and power through the manipulation of it’s evil capitalist system.    

Step by step, our president and the Democrat held congress, with the help from some Republicans, continues to ram their socialist/Marxist agenda down our throats with limited attempts of resistance by members of either party to stop them. While every member of Congress has taken an oath to defend the Constitution, I have yet to hear about any one of them who has stepped forward to actually stand by their commitment to protect it. For the most part, they all appear to lack the intestinal fortitude to realistically stand up to guard our freedoms and as in the past, choose to remain in the shadowy depths of their comfort zones found within the  game of “politics as usual,” that continues to provide them with a misguided sense of political power and security, accompanied by a thwarted sense of purpose.

If there’s one thing that most Americans are really sick of, it’s the game of “politics as usual.” They’re fed up with the meaningless rhetoric that flows effortlessly from the mouths of almost all politicians and especially those who refuse to defend the Constitution and abide by the principals expressed within the Declaration of Independence. As Americans, we are no longer enamored with either political party, because, we see little difference between either one of them. If any of these elected officials were sincere in their promise to defend these treasured documents, then they should be quick to stand up to stress their noble cause before the Congress and the rest of the Country.

Recently, I heard someone say that in 2010, we should just vote out all of Congress and start all over again to get rid of the corruption and greed. This noted commentator also stated that after we’ve elected someone into office and then they disregard what they promised  during their campaign, then we should immediately vote that person out of office after their first term has ended. Personally, I don’t think we should wait until 2010 to demand that the members of Congress do their jobs by defending our freedoms. In my opinion, any government elected official who refuses to do so, should be voted out in 2010 and never again be considered eligible to run for any office above the position of dog catcher. As it currently stands we already have an ample supply of liars in Congress and in the future, America certainly doesn’t need more of them in service to our country, who outwardly appear to take an oath, but instead lack the character or intestinal fortitude to uphold it. 

Sadly, among many Americans, Obama’s message of “hope and change” is changing into a message of “doubt and mistrust,” as our nation falls further and further into dept with each measurable grab at our cherished freedoms. While President Obama’s version of hope seems to be centered around his faith in the power of bigger government, the hope found within a free society is dependent upon the ability of the individual to express himself freely. The defense of this type of individual freedom must be made at all cost, if we are to remain the strongest and most benevolent country on earth, the United States of America.
