How can we as individuals feel like we can make a difference with what happens in America? For 232 years we have been happy to let others make our decisions for us. From the end of the revolution to the present time, we have elected by democratic vote our leaders. We have always felt no matter how hard the campaign or how tough the rhetoric, that it really didn’t matter who won. The world would go on as usual, our job would still be there in the morning as it has always been and nothing would really change. Why is it that so many feel so different this time? Is it an issue of race? Could it be that we Americans are basically bigots, and are just now realizing it? Is it the differences of opinion that we all feel about the war on terror? How about the lack of confidence most have in our Congress? What is it that is bothering so many Americans?
I really don’t think it’s any of the above. I feel the race issue is mute, just as many whites voted for Obama as blacks. As far as being bigots, I’m sure there are some who hate the fact that a black man is our president elect, but surely not the majority. We will always have a few on both sides, black and white that are filled with senseless hate. The war was a distraction during this election but I really don’t believe it was the main issue. No, it was the economy. Think about this,we went from a robust can’t lose boom, to a sorrowful recession in only 6 short months. The DOW was firm into the 11,000 mark, and the economy was sailing along with the lowest jobless rate in our history, and what happened?
Could it be that a politically motivated plan to take over the government was hatched by the far left with the willing help of the media? Was there even a hint of failure before the House and Senate changed hands, just two years ago? Has the Congress become hopelessly locked in a partisan do nothing mode, since that election? Why didn’t the house democrats take heed of the stern warnings from the administration, regarding the Fannie and Freddie situation? How was it that the administration was given the full blame in the people’s eyes for the disaster that this has become? Was the media an knowing accomplice to this misinformation diatribe in an effort to discredit President Bush and his administration? How about this, could there be accomplices to this coup d'etat within the administration itself?
These are just a few of the many questions in peoples mind as we enter into this new uncharted territory, where America, is no longer the financial leader of the world. Could we be just a few steps away from a one world government? Are we at our end as the bastion of freedom that the world has looked up to for over 200 years? For those of you who have blindly accepted all that has happened, I sincerely hope your faith has put us on the right course, if not, this country and the world will face a crisis much greater than we could ever imagine.
And sorrowfully, that’s my opinion,
Don

Don: I've been saying this for awhile now. I don't believe in coincidence. I think that as the polls dropped for Obama, the economy was the only safety net left. I know Soros was his key contributor. You can find that on opensecrets.org if you haven't looked already. And like most millionaires, he's not doing this out of the milk of human kindness. There are reasons behind his backing. A more closed elitist government would be able to make deals with privileged individuals under the guise of national emergency. And Soros has done this before-he's been accused of market manipulation in Europe and his name is sullied in the UK with the fall of the pound. He's connected to many wealthy internationalist who think nothing of the plight of average working Joes and see this as a chance to set a fire and then buy the leftovers at a fire sale.
Also, American businesses are on sale right now. My husband worked for a company that was just fine five years ago. The made a good product and were competitive. A British company bought them out and then proceeded to buy out their competitors. They closed manufacturing plants, but didn't bother to increase workers at the home plant. As a result, they couldn't make enough stock to keep customers happy. Sales went down due to this and in the end it's the sales people and line workers who get shafted. We have got to stop insulating upper level management from the follies of their actions. Instead, we have created protections for them. And frankly, those same folks are right in the receiving line for the new order. To say I afraid is an understatement. I teach school. My husband is looking for another job right now. But our lives don't matter. They will bleed us dry in the same manner FDR-Obama's spiritual mentor-prolonged the Depression into WWII. What war will we fight this time to get us out?
