Last gasp of freedom

Well - this is my last post prior to the election. Just a couple of thoughts.

BHO has said recently that he wants to put policies in place that will, in effect, bankrupt the coal power plants in this country!! You may not be shocked to think of this - but we produce 1/2 of our electricity. AND he wants to make us free of dependence on foreign oil in 10 years. Give me a break.

He also wants a civilian security corp. From last Wednesday:
“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set,”... “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded.”
Can you say 'Brown Shirt'? This would be the group that would seek out dissenters, intimidate the opposing voices, and probably work with the ATF to accomplish firearm confiscation. It will start nicely enough, but these things never finish that way.

Last week Obama made a crack about McCain calling him a Communist. He had a pretty funny crack about sharing his toys and his peanut butter sandwich. He wondered whether that makes him a Communist. He, of course, misses the point. When he shared HIS sandwich - that was CHARITY. As President, he would make everyone ELSE share THEIR toys. And THAT makes him at least a Socialist.

In closing: I do fear for tomorrow. In looking at the polls, I seem some hope of a McCain victory. Though, to be honest, I give him a 3 in 7 chance.

I will be hugely disappointed if BHO wins. I will be most disappointed because it will confirm my fear the people actually bought into this guy. That the American people finally said 'we want a nanny-state'. We WANT the government to be responsible for our lives, like the very pitiful woman after a BHO rally who said she would no longer have to worry about filling her gas tank or paying her mortgage.

This, ladies and gents, represents the end of America that I was raised in. An America where YOUR life, and that of your children, was ultimately YOUR responsibility. Charity thrived because people care deeply about others. But, in the new America - that will be dead. We will become Europe. It will be the governments job to take of you.

Should Barack Hussein Obama be elected President--It will be a sad, sad day.

It will be a sad day. It will prove that Americans don't really appreciate what this country offers. Many have done their best to fight against the beliefs and ideals that this country was founded on (while doing it in the name of patriotism, justice, blah blah). And if BHO wins, so will the many that call themselves Americans, but try to change everything that makes this country America. I haven't give up hope though. There are still many who believe in this country. Lets hope there are enough.
