I want you to think back to 2008. More specifically I want you to think back to the day of the election.
After the polling results were in, a glowing Barack Obama took the stage in Chicago. The crowd cheered endlessly. Obama announced that even if you didn't vote for him, he would do whatever possible to be "your" President too.
After his speech, two very distinctive things happened. I will never forget either one of them.
First, on the national news feed, it cut to a scene of the crowd that had gathered in front of the White House in D.C. In the sea of campaign and home-made signs, was a large communist flag waiving proudly. This picture was immediately print screened and posted to internet message boards. The response from a conservative message board was passive. Most responses described the scene as 'stupid kids'. Opinions were that certainly this new President would not, and could not embrace communist policies. The idea of such was too far fetched for most to accept.
The second thing I'll never forget was a middle aged african-American lady dancing around, proclaiming on national TV that she would no longer have to worry about paying her bills. She definitely believed that her financial troubles were now over. The same message board weighed in that she was in for a "rude awakening". Surely in a Capitalist nation it would not be possible for this to come to pass.
Fast forward a little while... All of a sudden the federal government owned quite a stake in two very large "US" automakers. I used quotations because GM & Chrysler were already heavily invested in foreign countries. Canada and Mexico housed not only part suppliers, but assembly plants as well. The government touted the American worker. The UAW made out the best, while private bond holders quietly got screwed. What would follow this, was the biggest welfare budget the U.S. had ever doled-out. A deficit-conscious Obama before the election was now spending taxpayer money like it was going out of style. To Obama, it was a win-win situation. His people got money for their votes, the national debt and private riches start to inflate away.
Now things were starting to become clear... We were clearly walking away from 'business as usual'. This was nearly impossible to deny. Van Jones spun it as 'Eco Capitalism', but in a capitalist nation this could not and would not happen.
Obama supporters knew this too, so at this point they went all in. They were no long "tolerant" of their political opponents. Their true communist colors came shining through. If you disagreed with them, you are a right-wing extremist. Other times, you were a racist instead. This is classic mis-direction. Basic psychology type stuff.
You see, every liberal democrat had always said they wanted a social safety net. Under the guise of this, they have setup the framework for a socialist utopia right under our noses. All Obama had to do was rev it up, and rev it up he did.
I want you to ask yourself an honest question: What is easier to get these days... a job for every unemployed worker in your family, or a government check for every unemployed worker in your family? From this point forward, as long as regulation keeps business choked down, human nature takes care of the rest. Our founders knew we as a country would be screwed the second that voters could vote for their living. That is exactly what Obama brought to fruition.
Turns out, the dumb kids "ignorantly" waiving the communist flag, and the lady with the bills were right. They knew exactly who Barack Obama is, and what he stands for. To this day conservative candidates and pundits are still afraid of the repercussions of calling Obama a socialist, marxist, or communist. You see, mis-direction is the only weapon in the administration's arsenal. They can't deny these things have taken place. They can only create confusion and counter-speech that counters what Obama's critics accuse. The more real American patriots stand up and call a lemon what it is, the weaker the Obama spin machine becomes.
Now here's the problem we are faced with... A lose-lose scenario. Think of this: What happens if you give a kid a brand new expensive toy... and then take it away? Had you never introduced the toy, the child would have gone about its business as usual. However, when the toy gets introduced and then taken away, rage and anger set in very quickly. That toy has now become their toy. Who are you to abrupt take it away? You will pay.
If in 2012 Obama stays in office and continues his march to communism, America loses. Future generations lose. Freedom loses.
And if Obama and his policies are voted out of office, I predict we will see riots and backlash the likes of which our nation has never seen. The entitlement syndrome has already been embedded in many Americans. When the checks stop, or even get reduced, the rage will set in. And this time the riots will not only be in the 'hood. The looting and rioting will be coming to the suburbs... maybe your suburbs. They won't be over in one day, either.
