The most dangerous people in America
The current crop of Republican Candidates is weak sauce for a Presidential Stew.
Here we are, scant months from an election that may be the most important in the 236 years that we've been a country. The Democrats are confident that Obama will be re-elected, and the Republicans are working hard every day to make sure that he is. Yes, you read that right. From my chair, all I see is rampant disarray in the Republican party. Candidates who are so devoid of personality as to be less exciting than a bowl of thin soup at the local old age home. Sure, you have Gingrich, the brilliant Historian who would easily destroy Obama in any debate. Unfortunately, reeks of sleaze. Hard to shake off the image of you giving your wives the hidey-ho as soon as they get some horrible illness. Women hate him and as you know, if women hate you, you're sunk as a candidate.
Romney just seems like a Democrat who stole a Republicans top coat. Look at his record in Massachusetts and I'll say no more. Ron Paul? Solid consrevative or true libertarian, but too far off on the edge to have any chance. Rick Santorum? Word on the street is that he's a real conservative, an honorable guy, scandal free and totally unelectable. So unless someone comes along out of the blue, it's a thin crowd that we have to choose from. The Cult of Personality will have its say, and again, from my seat, it looks like Romney is going to get the nod despite all the palaver about any of the other candidates, regardless of any gains or strides they may make between now and November.
Any one of these candidates could easily hand another 4 years to Obama and his band of radical miscreants. But are they the dangerous ones? Hardly. The most dangerous people in America today are AMERICANS. We're politically lazy (you bet we are), and easily misled by the mainstream media who will do EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO RE-ELECT OBAMA. I have not met more than a hand full of people since Obama was elected who believe in him or think he's doing a great job. Virtually everyone I meet can't stand this administration. But did they vote in the last election? About 40% of them did. 6 out of ever 10 people I've met NEVER BOTHERED TO VOTE!!! Yes, that's a 3 exclamation point sentence. ARE YOU SERIOUS? Every excuse in the book. Too busy, Forgot, Not registered, My vote is meaningless, blah blah blah.
This country is on the verge of changing forever. It's changed so dramatically in the last 3 years that I simply do not recognize much of it as America anymore. We've allowed our children's future to be mortgaged beyond any possibility of being paid off. We've sacrificed numerous personal freedoms in the name of "Security". We've created a private army of poorly trained, arrogant, security troops who haven't the slightest idea of constitutional behavior and are increasing their numbers and powers every day, and no one says a word.
This is a pretty corny image isn't it?
Sure, the eagle, the flag, the Statue of Liberty. All icons that are 'out of date" right?
Will 70 Million Catholics REJECT or RE-ELECT Obama?
Of course you'd never find a dictum from the administration forcing the Muslim religion to embrace the health benefits of pork now would you?
The Most Dangerous People in America are the PEOPLE in AMERICA. If they don't wake up, they are going to find themselves living in a totally different world. We have less than 10 months left to try to speak to those around us and wake them up to the fact that the future of our country is at stake and that we can't be complacent and careless in our decisions.
