Barack Hussein Obama - Inauguration day January 20, 2009. Millions of people around the world watch as the first black president is sworn into office. Clinching the election with 52% of the vote, over McCain, and winning the election on the campaign slogan "change we can believe in" or "vote for change" . "How historic", the broadcasters would report over and over again in the coming weeks, like a classic broken record. Everywhere you go Obama shirts, hats, mugs, and even condoms, yes condoms, would be sold. The nation was in a frenzy of "hope and change", but for what kind of change, no one could tell you. Just change for the sake of change and nothing more. "He's so well dressed" and "look at his wife, so beautiful and proud" "we're all so proud" they would say. No one wanted to be the "party pooper" or the "Debbie downer" no one wanted to speak out against "the Messiah", even if they still had concerns about the future of their great country. Many Americans were fast asleep or caught up in the moment, not everyone, but most. Even now six months later after almost all has been revealed about Obama, people still remain asleep, unconcerned or unaware. Our debt still continues to rise and the recession does not seem to be letting up. Although Obama and his idiot press secretary, Robbert Gibbs, would like you to believe that the recession is over and that we can get off their backs already. Unemployment, which Obama swore would never go above 8%, will rise into double digits in the coming months. The stimulus has Failed in every way and we are now on the verge of passing the biggest entitlement program in recent history. For those of you who are still asleep I'm talking about government-run health care. Medicare and Medicaid are broke. Social Security will soon be paying out more money than it is taking in and it's all because of the governments never ending infatuation with money and power. I try to warn people, i try to speak from the heart and just tell it how it is, but the responses still come. "ooh don't worry Danny he's not against Israel" "oh don't worry, just have faith and it will work out". Well I'm sorry, I am not convinced and I will not put my faith in something that has been proven to fail everywhere it has ever been tried. It is true that more and more people are beginning to wake up and realize just how radical and dangerous this president is for our country, but it's still not enough. There are still way to many people uninformed or unconcerned, even some who I hold dear to my heart. I believe it is my duty to inform and wake up those people and if i can't do it through the spoken word I'll have to resort to my writing. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but i believe a story from the heart is worth 10 times more. It is not a matter of being "interested" as some people tell me because those people obviously don't know whats going on around them. Our country is headed down a road that it has never been on before and people need to realize that. People need to come out of their concealed bubbles and voice their opinions as i am doing right now. There are so many people today, and I'm talking about my generation particularly, who just don't understand what our ancestors and our founding fathers had to go through to lay the foundation for this great country. I'm afraid today a new foundation is being laid by our leaders and my generation is failing to see it.
I came across a quote while I was reading Saving Freedom by Jim DeMint and it says “Loss of freedom seldom (rarely) happens overnight. Oppression doesn’t stand on the doorstep with toothbrush, moustache, and swastika armband – it creeps up insidiously…step by step, and all of a sudden the unfortunate citizen realizes that it is gone” Baron Geoffrey Lane. This quote can be related to our time with incredible accuracy. That is why I am so keen on informing my friends and family. It is because I know that it takes time for these things to develop. I could tell people "the entire world is coming to and end RIGHT NOW!", but i would be lying. Right now the sky is not falling, aliens are not attacking our planet, but what is really being attacked are out liberties and our rights. Yeahh remember those silly things we so routinely take for granted now a days. "What the hell you can't give me a speeding ticket this is America buddy". Too often are rights like guns and freedom of speech taken for granted. My goal here is to inform people and try to speak on a level that they can understand so that they will not god forbid, like Baron Lane says, wake up one day and realize that the country they, their parents, and even their grandparents grew up in is no longer the same. A place where there are no liberties and no rights. A place where the government rules all, and over every aspect of our lives. And finally a place where "Freedom" no longer exists, but only something masked as freedom standing in its place. And so with that I urge you with all my heart to just listen to what is going on around you! I am not asking you to go stand on the corner with an angry look on your face chanting "just say NO". I am only asking that you to stay alert and when they try to push you around and tell you "it's for your own good" or even for the "greater good" you question them and stay true to your gut instincts. Finally, never let someone tell you there is no hope for our country. This country has been through a lot and I believe it will stand the test of time. The only question is, what will our country look like when we are all gone? And that task is left up to YOU! It's time to wake up America, socialism is knocking at the door!
