When folks like Sally Kohn spew their hate filled and baseless rhetoric about how the Right is actually “sabotaging the economy” so as to bring about the defeat of Barack Obama in 2012, I have to laugh. Hell, he’s doing that all by himself. It does always make me think of the Presidents civility speech back in Arizona though, and how Liberals must have had the volume turned down on that one.
I have long predicted that this election would finally bring both ideologies clearly into focus. Folks would now have an opportunity to make the most difficult choice of their political lives, to embrace “pie in the sky” Progressive Utopia in the hopes that the “Professor Obama college try” will somehow yield better times, or to vote for America and the fundamental and proven truths of human freedom, hard work and self-reliance. I don’t believe anyone is denying there is much to be fixed however, and that we have been asleep at the wheel as “both” our government and corporate America have gone astray of the values which we have entrusted to them. But to abandon the very principles which have allowed our nation to prosper in ways unmatched the world over and through all of time is simply a non-starter. To think along these lines is promote a way of life that has failed the rest of the world time and again and throughout history with often horrible consequences.
As we mark exactly one year to Election Day, I am contemplating the months ahead and how they will most likely be filled with the most vitriolic rhetoric we have ever known in a campaign. I am cognizant of something that I never would have imagined seeing in my lifetime, and I am painfully aware that we are losing our history at an alarming rate. Sadly, it is being replaced with the marching orders of the Progressive Left and the lazy, intellectually and morally corrupt anarchists we are now seeing with more and more frequency on the nightly news. Even more alarming is that just a few short years ago I would have scoffed at the notion that America would die from within, and that “We the People” would chose the free ride as opposed to earned success. This script does remain to be written however.
It just seems as though we are no longer arguing about who is successful, or the phrase (life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness), but rather whether or not any measure of success is simply a birth right which must be pre-figured and guaranteed by an all-encompassing federal entity. This has been and always will be the result of politically promoted class warfare. Read your history for the end result…
