The Insanity of it All!

For quite some time we've been watching the reports: Bankruptcies, foreclosures, store closings, homes lost, jobs lost... entire lifestyles and cultures are being lost. All thanks to the Hope & Change elected in 2009 and his coronation in January 2010. I hasten back to a time when Bill Clinton was campaigning for the Presidency and Al Gore gave a stump speech...waving his arms ridiculously while he lamented the ups and downs of the nation. Unemployment was up, standards of living were down. Gas prices were up, jobs were down. You get the picture. Clinton strode into office with the promise of a brighter tomorrow. Of course, he DID claim to eradicate the nation's debt...with a little help from the perilously close to failing Social Security Trust Fund. Clinton won the day with 42% of the vote, and we stand ominously close to repeating this result. I digress... Today we truly are a nation on the brink. We teeter between freedom and tyranny. We must walk a razor's edge whenever we post a comment to Facebook for fear that our comment will be considered an act of terrorism by a watchdog government awash in unmitigated power and control. Our rights as individuals are under the greatest threat seen since the Revolutionary War, and our leaders remain hobbled as silent sentinels encased in stone. Without conscience, many of them have signed legislation to inhibit the exercise of constitutionally protected practices. Is our slide to tyranny nearly complete? Have we, the American people, become comfortable as the bearers of the yoke and lash of our Masters? I do not condone violence. Rather, I would like to promote THOUGHT and a return to men and women of good conscience actually doing something to make a difference. I beckon all good men and women to raise their voices, to call for Freedom, and to extend a hand to help your fellow citizens as they crawl through the darkness of Tyranny toward the light of Freedom.
