Well, it has just be over two months from the election and I am just now able to get back into writing some thoughts.
I was very down on election day but I was not surprised. There are so many things that I just can't understand. First, no matter how much people ignore reality, the reality is still there. The MSM got Obama elected with their left wing agenda and bias toward all conservative principles. What I don't understand is how so many people ignore this reality. One point that all people must accept is that the MSM has great power and with that power comes the ability to abuse it. When Hitler invaded Poland, he disseminated the story that some Polish soldiers had attacked a German radio station. However, the reality was that it was German soldiers that made that attack so that Germany had a reason to invade Poland. However, the great propaganda machine in Germany, under Hitler's direction, made reality.....it made the attack on the radio station a Polish attack on Germany. In our time, the MSM puts forth so many vile lies and distortions but no one seems to care and in fact, the liberals want to squash any outlet that opposes its lies and distortions...which only leaves us with lies and distortions. In such a case, and since we all can't be where the story is, then we either accept it on faith or ignore it because it does not affect us. Taking any news story of the NY Times, LA times, CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, MSNBC, and so many others on faith is not only stupid but reckless. I am shocked that the people don't see this but I guess the blind can't see even if it is their own hands over their eyes.....
Second, am I the only one that will not watch Obama speak. He is a very good speaker for he will tell us all what we want to hear...just like another leader did in Europe in the 1930s. I also will not watch him for I boil at the words on the lectern ..."Office of the President-Elect". Am I the only one that just ignites when seeing this Narcissistic Drivel. There is no such "Office" in our constitution but Obama's use of it just gives us a glimpse into how he believes he is the chosen one and above the law. Obama, in my opinion, truly believes that he is above the law; even the basic law of the land. He is the president-elect which has no power whatsoever under our constitution until he takes the oath of office and once he does that he is president and no longer the president-elect. He is the only president-elect to draw so much attention to himself after the election. Given this, he has no regard for the sitting president and thus no regard for our constitution; the constitution that he will swear to uphold in a few days. Obama is not Jesus and is not the second coming of Jesus. He needs to learn this but if he can't than he needs to lead like Jesus. Remember, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples at the last supper for he said that He had come to serve.
Third, I believe that Obama wants the economy to get worse. This will keep him and his God complex alive. If the economy rebounds and things are good, then we will really see that his policies are nothing more than socialism wrapped up in negativity about the economy. This is already starting to shine through. He will run into opposition with his own party. Not because he is not to the left far enough but that he is too far left. He wants to be king but this country does not have a king. He believes himself to be king....Since that is the case, it is time for another Boston Tea Party. It is also time to enforce the opening statements of the Declaration of Independence:
"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."
It is important to note that "all men are created equal" but this does not mean that all mean must live equal lives. Some men choose to do more with their creativeness and their intelligence. All men were created equal under the law but what man does with himself after being created is up to the individual. Also, Obama was born and he will die. In other words, he was created too. Therefore, he does not have any divine powers over the rest of us and he certainly is not God.
Governments are instituted among men and derive its power from the consent of the governed. When that government becomes too destructive, then the people have a right to alter or abolish it. Through taxes, regulations, laws, has not our government become destructive? It has become destructive by taking what people earn, by trying to legislate everything, by destroying the sanctity of life, by opposing people, by keeping the lower class in that class for not giving incentives to rise above it. Our government has become so large and has taken away so many rights of the state that it is no longer the government instituted after winning the War of Independence.
Under our constitution, the states do have the ability to amend the constitution. The states need to start welding some power and use this provision. The states need to reign in the liberal power machine that will consume all states rights. Once that happens, we will have a socialistic and nearly communistic government for which history has shown will ultimately collapse in on itself.
Is it time for a second civil war? Is it time for some states to succeed from the union given our current climate? I think the time is coming where the states are going to have to stand up for themselves and refuse to allow the federal government to have so much power for absolute power corrupts absolutely........
God help us........
