I must confess that with less than 3 weeks remaining until an election that will prove to be a pivotal one, no matter what the outcome, my anxiety gets a little more heightened with each passing day. Because it will not be until the day of the election that we will come to know, with any degree of certainty, in which direction it is that the American people have chosen for their country to go. As kind of a side benefit of sorts, I suppose, that we will also find out on Election Day, just how far into our society a creeping form of malignant ignorance has successfully managed to spread through our society. With that being said, there does seem now to be an increasing amount of noise coming, I'm told from both sides, that any number of congressional races are now being seen as "tightening," which if true, only adds to my already heightened level of anxiety. If that is in fact the case, what might be the cause for said tightening to now be taking place? Is it because, as the Democrats always love to claim, voters are now beginning to see the light and the wisdom in all that Barry has thus far been able to do "for" them as we draw closer to the election? Or, are many voters continuing to simply live in denial, completely oblivious to what it is that has been, and continues to be, perpetrated against them by the party that's not only presently in control, but pretty seriously out of control? Or, is this nothing all more than a work of fiction and the races are not really tightening that much at all? Especially since we are now finding ourselves in the position of having unwittingly elected the "one" individual who, as it now turns out, is the single greatest threat yet faced by our Democracy. Are there still people who refuse to believe that we now have a president determined to destroy our country to the point where they remain convinced that it's a good idea to allow his train wreck of a presidency to continue completely unabated? It becomes more imperative each and every day that we take the fullest advantage possible of this our first opportunity to rectify the disastrous error that was made in 2008. What results from the election this coming November will tell us exactly where it is that the American people stand regarding their level of commitment to the maintaining of their own freedom and individual liberties. It will tell us how many of us are willing to side with Barry, agreeing with his desire to move our country even further, and ever faster, to the left, and choosing to accept his premise that an ever-expanding government is what is truly best for America. And it will also answer the question regarding how many of us see through that which he and his comrades are working so hard to create, and the strict limits they wish to place on our freedom and our liberty. So, will what Barry and his party are attempting to do be seen as being unprecedented as well as blatantly un-Constitutional? Or will it all be seen as something else, as something seen as even being beneficial? Will Americans choose to elect members to Congress who wish to work even harder toward extending the role of government even further into our lives? Or, will they choose instead to elect those whom we can entrust to at least begin the long, and most likely quite painful, process of turning back some of the most rabid government expansion in recent memory, and who will work to curb some of this mindless, out of control spending? Will we elect those who will get us back onto more of a even keel, fiscally speaking, and to being more on the right track by working to limit the “Socialist” in the White House from doing anymore damage than he has already succeeded in doing? Will we elect those who are willing, able and unafraid to at least try to undo some or all of the damage that has been done and once again put the people in charge? Will we be able to save our future? All are questions that can only be answered come this Election Day.
For the sake of argument, let's just say that there are some races that are now seen as growing a little tighter. If these races are in fact tightening as is the claim being made, are they really doing so in any meaningful or significant way? Or, is this all nothing more election year hype and posturing on the part of those who profess to be the experts in such wizardry or for more selfish reasons that would allow them to later make the claim that they had some impact on the election outcome? And just what might form the basis, exactly, for the even the making of such claims? If it is nothing more that data that has been gleaned from sifting through any number of recent polls, then how reliable is that information really going to be. Because if there is one thing that I think we all know, it's the fact that most polls can be notoriously, unreliable. We know that often times those conducting such polls are never the least bit shy about putting their thumb on the scales, so to speak, to attempt to alter the outcome. And for just that reason, when it comes to polls any conclusions arrived at should be seen as being highly suspect. After all, they are trying to steer people in a specific direction. However, there be another explanation, one that exposes a rather disturbing trend, that having developed over time, shows a definite willingness now present in a substantial portion of the population, to consider their freedoms and liberties as being nothing more than basic commodities. Commodities that can be used to barter with, all in an attempt to obtain increased government benefits of nearly any sort. So might someone tend to vote for someone who they view as being willing to give them a higher return for their willingness to trade their "commodities?" And what might be behind such an idiotic and mindless endeavor? Is it a monumental ignorance, gross naiveté or some weird combination of both? Or can something more dangerous, or even sinister, be seen as being in play here? I'm sure we all very well aware of the tactics or weapons of choice that find a home within the Democrat arsenal when it come to elections. Some of the more frequently used "tools" are such things as their standard form of toxic racism, class warfare, or that ever-present, highly corrosive sense of entitlement, all of which continue to be routinely encouraged, or aggravated, by a power hungry political party who see all as being a means to their end? I am also still sensing a serious lack of enthusiasm from too many Americans for the doing of whatever is necessary in working to more aggressively protecting our freedoms and in keeping the government as far out of our business as possible, and it is really frustrating. Especially coming from those who still take such great pride in their having voted for a man as president, the first since quite possibly Woodrow Wilson, who is most so determined in his efforts to fundamentally alter our ability to remain a free and sovereign nation. As well as being a man who has set out with a single-minded purpose to completely dismantle our capitalist, free market economy at the same time. The fact that this man was even elected speaks volumes regarding the ignorance of a substantial number of those who make up the American voting population. So now because of the idiocy of those who voted for this "Marxist," the rest of us are now being forced to pay a most devastating price for this ongoing fiasco, with the full cost for doing so, in terms of both dollars and liberties lost, having yet to be determined. It is obvious, that unless some sort of drastic action is taken, and very soon, it is safe to assume that the cost will only continue to sharply escalate, so that even those yet to be born will find themselves being required to pay for it through extremely high taxes and worse, through liberties freely given away by today's generation. And far too many of us seem to see anything the least bit wrong with that scenario.
And ya know there's another thing that really annoys me. It’s the fact that as we get closer to November 2, I keep hearing more and more political pundits, regardless of their political affiliation, and all of whom regard themselves as being gurus when it comes to being able to accurately judge the psyche of the American electorate as a whole, constantly exuding so much confidence in the innate ability of the American people to always do the right thing. Well, but both sides can't be right, it's a physical impossibility. Because their definitions of what the "right thing," are essentially diametrically opposed. Looking back over the years of my life, these are definitely the very darkest days that I can remember having lived through up to this point and are something that I would never have imagined that I would be experiencing first hand. And they were brought about by people who were supposedly doing the "right thing" when they chose to elect Barry "Almighty." So, I find myself being forced to question the dedication of the American people who must now take the required stand against the obvious attempts at blatant power grabs and the obvious destructive policies beset upon us by unethical politicians, including our own president. All of whom were freely elected by people who are told, always capable to doing the "right thing." Outlandish legislation has been enacted through all manner of trickery and deceit and literally shoved down the throats of the people whether we thought it necessary or not. Far too many Americans are nothing more than brainless idealists with absolutely zero ability of thinking for themselves and are gullible to the point of swallowing hook line and sinker the pabulum fed to them by patently dishonest and politically corrupt Democrats. Ignorance as they say, is bliss. So if these races are in fact growing tighter, then such must be the case with a growing number of American voters. As a people, I think Americans of today are a rather sheepish bunch with far too many having come to expect the government "to now be responsible" for doing more “for” them. Many seem to have lost faith in this grand experiment in individual freedom and liberty that we call the United States of America. Too many have become no more than trained seals that one sees performing at any third rate circus. We're constantly being played for fools and don't really seem to care all that much as long as we're on the receiving end of some nifty new taxpayer funded government entitlement. With each new handout that we choose to accept from our government, we lose just a little bit more of our soul. I for one don’t really see that as being a very fair exchange, but unfortunately, far too many of my fellow countrymen do and are all too willing to assist our government in expanding its control over each and every one of us.
With the upcoming election firmly in mind, it is increasingly difficult for me to comprehend why it is exactly, that with all of the damage that has now been done, and continues to be done, that so many Americans remain so determined to vote for candidates who represent the political party that has been the main culprit in creating our present mess. That of course would be the Democrats. I cannot help but wonder what the heck their priorities might be. I mean, here we have a political party right here in America that has now risen to a level of corruption that one would normally expect to see oozing from some political party in any third rate banana republic anywhere on the planet. This "It takes a village" mentality that seems to be so pervasive among those whom you would think would know better, either because of their livelihood, level of education, background or possible life experiences, and recognize the fact that this whole cockamamie concept has proven itself time and again as simply not something that is anywhere near being workable. It should not be my neighbor’s responsibility to ensure that I have sufficiently prepared myself for any eventuality that may occur in my life, nor should it be my responsibility to ensure that he has. I work very hard to provide for my family in the very best way that I can, so I question the fairness of being asked to provide for any number of my neighbors as well, especially those who lack the same level of commitment as I have. Liberal or "progressive" policies and/or programs are what have resulted in bringing about so many of our present day afflictions suffered by our society in the age of Barry "Almighty." They were based on nothing more than grandiose ideas, perhaps with the best of intentions, but never all that well thought out, and always result in any number of unintended consequences that succeed only in rapidly consuming so much of our wealth as to have now turned America into a debtor nation on a scale that just a few years ago would have been unimaginable to most people. Like the old saying goes, "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." Well my friends, the Democrats, lead by Barry "Almighty," are leading us down that road and they are, in fact, leading us straight to Hell. They presume to know what's best for us and when we disagree with their assessment of things, they either bring out their allies in the state controlled media to berate us or they simply just go about the business of making their ideas a reality in spite of our objections. Therefore we have only one alternative left. We must work to vote as many of the scumbags out as we possibly can. Our very survival depends on it.
So, as that old Merle Haggard song asks, "Is the best of the free life behind us now, and are the good times really over for good?" I guess we'll just have to wait until November 2 to find out.
