There is a slogan that says, “If you don’t know your rights, you don’t have any.” which very clearly states a very basic and common problem in this country. If left to the average Obama voter your rights might be described as being that we  should have such rights as government paying for our gas, house, food, healthcare, and everything else from cradle to grave.  I think the clip from Howard Stern interviewing Obama supporters very clearly sums up the problem.

Clearly this illustrates how uninformed, unintelligent, and racist the election actually was. It had nothing whatsoever to do with issues, current events, or the problems facing this country. It was a popularity contest which was won by the “cool, black guy” because he speaks so well and sounds so good.  It was also as much an anti-Bush vote as a coronation for Obama.  It had as much to do with the Acorn voters wanting and needing small sums of cash, cigarettes, and empty promises of goodies that they would recieve once Obama was elected and little to do with national security, sovereignty, prosperity, or any other issue.  

 

And now, we will have to suffer the consequences and pray that we will survive the runaway freight train headed for the inevitable wreck that will be the socialist government as designed and created by radical, partisan, leftists comprising the Obama administration. We have yet to see the onslaught of assaults which are certainly to come at the hands of these misguided cretins.  

 

With total disregard for the Constitution and Bill of Rights established by the founders your rights will be whatever Obama decides that they will be.  One has only to examine what Obama thinks and says about the bill of negative rights.

Seems like I vaguely remember something about swearing an oath to “Defend and preserve” our Constitution but hey, that was just campaign rhetoric, right? After all, just look at everything that was promised during the campaign like no lobbyists, the most ethical cabinet in history, and total transparency and so forth.  After campaigning as a so called “moderate or centrist” it certainly seems that Obama and his handlers are doing anything and everything that is as far left as you can go with regard to governing. Of course, it certainly seems that Obama is still in campaign mode and is absolutely clueless with regard to actually governing.  Obama is off to a three day vacation after having the most massive, pork laden, government grab in the history of this country. The sky was falling, it meant the end of life as we know it if they didn’t pass this monstrosity of a nightmare and yet Obama isn’t even going to sign it until who knows when? 

 

And, in the spirit of free speech there are an increasing number of elected Obanoids who are planning on bringing back legislation to silence their critics in talk radio. We can expect to see the first amendment trampled on under the guise of the so called “Fairness Doctrine” which will of course be renamed and disguised as something else but is clearly designed to silence voices such as Rush Limbagh, Sean Hannity, and anyone else who dare oppose the enlightened thinking and accepted politically correct philosophy of life such as established by the liberals.  Even though print media, cable, and just about every conceivable form of media in this country is clearly slanted left and is owned and run by leftists in most cases these wonderful, tolerant, knee jerk hypocrites pathetically decry the need for balance and fairness. Despite such shining examples of fairness and tolerance as publicly funded NPR radio, the failing NY Times, and the numerous failures of “Air America”, they whine and cry that they must re institute the “Fairness Doctrine”. 

 

There is little doubt that the first amendment will not be the only right which will be under an all out assault from an Obama administration. Although he claimed to be in favor of the 2nd amendment, Obama has surrounded himself with anti gun zealots.  But then again, do you honestly think that criminals are going to pay any attention to the over 10.000 current gun laws that we have in this country? If you ban our guns does it mean we can use swords?

 

I pray that we will all return to at the very least a minimal understanding of our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and what our founders intended this great nation to be. Without an understanding of not only the rights as enumerated by the founders, but also the unalienable rights from our creator, then what rights do we really have?

Dystopia you might be asking, what the heck is that? One definition would say that dystopia is the opposite of utopia, dystopia is a fictional place with terrible quality of life, due to oppression, misery and terror. How is it then, you might ask, that I think we might be moving towards a dystopia? Let me attempt to explain and enlighten you a bit. 

 

Because of political correctness we now have a system of ever morphing words, phrases, and even thought patterns. For example, liberal has become a feared and hated word and can no longer be tolerated even by those who are totally consumed by liberalism.  So frightened and fearful of it that they prefer to be called by something a bit more palatable and easier to take. Liberals now prefer to be considered and certainly to be called “progressive” rather than liberal. It means the same thing but in their bizarre and warped way of thinking “progressive” is just a more pleasant word and makes the world a little brighter. 

 

Even though the Obama administration is going to turn as hard left and go as fast as possible into socialism and the most massive take over of an economy by government, those nice folks who are progressive just think it is wonderful. Never mind that it absolutely tramples on the Constitution and our rights will further erode if not cease to exist altogether. Socialism just seems lovely and wonderful and especially because our golden tongued, articulate, and brilliant new messiah likes it so much. Therefore, it must just be wonderful and something that we all need, right? The answer is not no, but heck no! If socialism is so wonderful and effective then why has it never worked anywhere, anytime before that it has been tried? Where is it working now? If European style socialism is so wonderful then why are they abandoning it as fast as they can for a more free market based society? One of my friends bemoans nationalized health care as an example of socialism that should be coveted. For what? So that we can have waiting lists for care and procedures that might be several years long? If socialized medical systems are so wonderful, why are so many Canadians and everyone else coming to the US for treatment and care? 

 

Ok, here is another thought. Democrats actually think that they got some kind of mandate and that they have a free hand to do whatever they want. After, as Obama keeps reminding us, he and they won the election. One has only to take a look at some of the examples of democrat leadership to see why they and their misguided longings for socialism are so wrong headed. A prime example of unbridled, unfettered liberalism and democrat leadership is San Francisco, CA. Now there is a shining beacon of socialism and democratic governance if ever there was one. Yes, I know the governor is supposed to be a republican but come on, be realistic. The two senators from Maine are supposed to be republican too, yeah right. If you believe that then you probably believe that a dollar bill is actually worth something but that is a topic for another day. How about New York city, New Orleans, and on and on? These have been democrat run for years if not decades and yet they are constantly in the news as being broke, impoverished, and going downhill. How can that be in the enlightened age of democrat leadership and socialism running rampant in welfare and social programs? 

 

And hey, let’s not forget another shining example of success, Nazi Germany. They adopted a national socialist form of government and just look what it did for them, right? What about Russia, Cuba, Canada? How well is it working for them now? And don’t forget, in order for the Nazis to be successful the first thing that they had to do was to disarm the populace, had the people of Germany been armed things might have been very different. Does that mean that one of the first assaults by our new socialist administration might be to come after our guns? Despite the campaign rhetoric from Obama, his administration is full of people who have been anything but favorable to our second amendment right to own firearms. Nothing that has been done to this point, nor anything that will be done in the future will come as much of a surprise to me. Socialist covet socialism and will do anything in their power to see it come to fruition.  Well guess what, we are headed down that path now like a runaway freight train and Nero is fiddling while Rome burns. 

 

Oh well, this trillion dollar plus democrat entitlement bill will fix everything and cure this recession, right? Well it didn’t work for FDR and just look where all of his policies got us. The only difference is that Obama is spending more than anyone ever before in history and most of it goes to growing government further empowering democrats.  Obama even seeks to politicize the census which determines such things as political districts and how they are drawn. Oh yeah, I’m sure that is going to be a fair process and will equitable to republicans.  This isn’t even a veiled threat but rather a blatant assault and is definitely in your face. 

 

I can only shutter at the realization that there are so many in this country who would openly embrace socialism because of their ignorance and lack of understanding about the inherent dangers of such a system of governance. But hey, everything Obama said during the campaign sounded great, wonderful, and fantastic, right? Well let’s see what he does, not what he says he is going to do and see how you like it then.  I’m afraid that you might just get a whole lot more than you bargained for a whole lot less of what you thought you were getting out of Obama and his cronies but only time will tell. I can only pray for this country to survive what will surely come. God bless America.
