In 5 days we will elect our new President, along with many of our state and federal representatives. The polls seem to indicate that Barack Obama will likely be elected as President, and that Democrats will make gains in congress. While today's GOP, on average, is not really all that much more fiscally conservative than today's Democrats, I think we will now see the country dive closer to socialism than ever before, and do so faster than we have ever seen it before.
I have already started using a new term for what this era will bring us to...
Obamunism
Yes, Obama has been making promises and comments that would make Karl Marx himself smile with glee. The back door has been open to socialism in this country for a long time... but I think this election will be marked as the date when the front doors were thrown wide open and the red carpet was rolled out in welcome of socialism in America.
It's sad really. This country once was unique in that people had a small and non-intrusive government, they were accountable for themselves, and wanted to work hard to get ahead in life. That was the American dream, wasn't it? That you could come to a place where if you worked hard, you could actually own stuff, and not have the government take most or all of your property from you? Well, the American dream has slowly been pushed aside, and within the next 4 years it is likely to be thrown under the bus.
Aparently it is ok to take from people who work more hours to give to people who actually choose to work fewer hours so they can still qualify for other taxpayer's money. Aparently it is better to be stupid and untrained, and not improve one's self, because if you do you will get punished by higher taxes so that the lazy among us don't actually have to do anything productive. Aparently the American dream is not all that great after all, since the new American dream is centered on how the lazy can get the government to steal other people's money and give it to them.
Welcome to our new country, the USSA. Where Obamunism is the main ideology, and where Comrade Obama is our newly elected dictator. A bloodless revolution that has been 100 years in the making. And one where people still have the illusion of freedoms and choices.
