Whose Fault is This Anyway?

"Just like the pied piper led rats through the streets, we dance like marionettes swaying to the symphony of destruction" from the song "Symphony of Destruction" by Megadeth.

In order to understand the present, we must understand the past. To understand where we went wrong as a nation...and as a people, we must see just what has transpired in years before to lead us where we are now. Many people these days want to blame the inept GW Bush, the lecherous cretin Bill Clinton, and the man who would be Chairman-Barack Obama. They have their parts in this play, but they aren't totally to blame.

Woodrow Wilson got the ball rolling, he fully embraced the idea of the League of Nations which became the UN. He endorsed socialist ideas and sought to take America away from its roots. This paved the way for Franklin Roosevelt who expanded government vastly-it was he who implemented programs that allowed the government to meddle in the affairs of its citizens. His extra constitutional programs paved the way for the government to go beyond its Constitutional mandate of defending the nation, negotiating treaties, levying taxes and tariffs and providing the overall frame of the nation. He spit in the face of sovereignty and ushered in an era of the government having power over the people and not the other way around.

With these new powers in hand the government went about creating new programs, giving new handouts, and systematically and silently went about dividing the nation into castes. You could still work your way up and make something of yourself, but you must defy the odds and never take your sights off of it. Take a look at the slums and ghettos and tell me public assistance works.

Clinton ushered in an era of prosperity...that was built on the foundation Ronald Reagan laid down. Reagan got it right, he let business be business and he did NOT take any crap from any foreign nation. He was not as pushy and maverick as GW Bush, he showed legitimate strength and diplomacy-he knew how to do it. George Bush maintained, and had the unfortunate luxury of being on watch during the inevitable economic cycle of Boom-downturn-recession-recovery-Boom. He was outfoxed by the slick, charming Bill Clinton who did create a surplus...while making the US weak in foreign policy. GW Bush came along and was saddled with 9/11, he took the surplus he was given and squandered it on destroying our civil liberties, fighting a pointless war in Iraq and he also failed to realize in Afghanistan: "There is a difference between not losing and winning."

Like the opening quote says: "Just like the pied piper led rats through the streets" Barack Obama was even more charming than Clinton. "Hope and Change" who in their right mind does not want that? After the awful job Bush did, we need hope and we need change-but he never quite defined change. People were so enamored by his poise, his speaking skill, his looks, and his affable demeanor they failed to realize he is tied in to many radicals (do your homework, it's true) such as: Bill Ayres-self admitted terrorist, George Soros-socialist billionaire with his fingers in everything, and Saul Alinski-rules for radicals, interesting reading. Now people blame him, they blame Bush, they blame congress, they blame everyone under the sun except perhaps the biggest culprit...The American People.

You had your chance to do your homework, you had the chance to see who this man really is, and now you are getting buyers remorse. I harbor no ill will though, nobody should-we all make mistakes, fortunately this is one that can be undone. By undoing it, not only can we atone for this mistake, we can build a better future. That is only if we learn and work diligently towards never repeating the same mistake.

Make your voice heard, petition your legislators and tell them in no uncertain terms that you will not vote for them unless they do their jobs and listen to you. When Obama speaks-you listen and listen well, pick through his words and see the lies he spews. If you want to know what to do, do the opposite of what he says. He does not care about you, he does not like you, he does not have your best interests at heart. All he wants to do is consolidate his power and run your life as he sees fit.

America has made a terrible mistake, don't make another one. Electing him was a big mistake that can be undone, allowing him to fully enact his plans...that cannot be undone.
