My belief and pride in the American people, have been rejuvenated. Just when I began to believe that, those on the East side of America had abandoned the American beliefs, which actually originated in the East, Eastern Americans showed Constant and Determination to the rest of America; they showed that American grit still exists.
That those in Washington are listening showed immediately, as if with precognition to the outcome of yesterdays elections before the ballots were counted, Senator Reid stepped behind a microphone and all but assured Americans that the Health Care Takeover, would have to wait until next year.
“We’re not going to be bound by any timelines,” said Majority Leader Harry Reid (D), referring to Obama’s demand to have a Health Care Bill passed by the end of the year. However Reid (D) will have a hard time being reelected himself in 2010, and took note of what happened in the Vote of 2009.
The once slumbering American Spirit has awakened and found its country heading toward a cliff in a fast moving vehicle, and a radical’s foot pushing hard on the pedal, with little or no indication that the radical sees or even cares about the dangers approaching.
I believe the 2008 vote that put Obama in office was an anomaly, unlike what took place in Virginia and New Jersey of 2009. Charles Krauthammer said it best, in the 2008 election “the stars where perfectly aligned for the Democrats.”
So Americans ignored the obvious and hoped for change, of the unrealistic kind, only to find themselves threatened by nuclear armed dictators roaming the world, record high unemployment, and an economy teetering. Not to mention engaging in a war were the new Commander-in-Chief enacted a new war strategy, with a newly appointed General. Only to ignore the recommendation set forth by his General, and express his understanding of what victory is by describing it this way…
“I’m always worried about using the word ‘victory,’
because, you know, it invokes this notion of
Emperor Hirohito coming down
and signing a surrender to MacArthur.”
Barack Obama
I thought our victory over the Japanese was a good thing.
At any rate, the American Spirit lives within the heart of America, and a shot has been fired over the bow of the political ship filled with elitist, who judge themselves above the fray.
These Untouchables have been warned.
But who listens to a nobody like me? I’m just a voice crying in the wilderness, torn by the turn in which my country has taken. Frightened for the future of my children and the country I will leave them.
I can’t fight on the battle field because my diabetes prevents me from doing so, or as God is my witness, I would be there. My wife and I have just enough money to support our family, pay our mortgage, put food on the table and give what we can, to what we believe, when we can.
I like to write, and though I am no Thomas Sowell, Charles Krauthammer or Bill Kristol, I have an opinion, and have believed for a long time that one voice, one vote, can make a difference.
So ignore me if you will politicians. Call me a radical for attending a Tea Party, accuse me of being mere Astroturf and a wearer of swastika’s, that’s fine. When me, and other silent majority such as myself, are done selecting our candidates in 2010…
…those who choose to fundamentally change our society…
…will become a part of the 10% unemployed.
