If we have screwed ourselves, we might as well admit it. Benjamin Franklin? We could not keep it, sorry.
I only voted once. My family members only voted once. We played it straight. We didn't cheat and we certainly expected that the issues were crystal clear. America could decide to remain a Republic built upon the Constitution and the multinational corporations that have been waiting to see what would happen. Naturally I thought the USA would be smart and not re-enlist for four more years of Obamanation. I must admit I am surprised. After all, everything I predicted Obama would do he did.
Fuel prices have more than doubled. The economy is tanking and when Taxmageddon hits in 2013 and Obamacare is fully implemented then 8% unemployment will seem like the good old days. I would tell you what the next four years are going to do to this country but you didn't believe me four years ago so why bother? If you are smart enough to have voted for Romney you are aware of what was at stake and you know what will happen if Obama's plans are carried through.

If Barack Obama has indeed won the Presidency, then Americans have chosen to go ahead and become Socialists. It is okay. The Founding Fathers set up the nation to allow the people to choose.
They warned us of the dangers of becoming dependent upon the government and of course it was always a possibility. So if it turns out that there is not a lot of provable voter fraud and Barack Obama is indeed reelected then the USA is going to have four years of steadily increasing economic hell raining down upon it. All those who believed that Obama was going to give them things will discover that what Margaret Thatcher said about Socialism will prove to be true and in fact it has already happened. We have already run out of other people's money.

Look at the National Debt Clock on the top left corner of my blog. Each and every citizen owes more than 51,000 dollars in debt because of the actions of our government. We are borrowing for all the big spending that the government is doing and there is interest on that borrowing. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan were going to get business going, cut government spending and we would begin harvesting the oil, natural gas and coal that would allow us to cut fuel costs and get businesses growing. Barack Obama intends to make the government much bigger, the debt much bigger and put America in a hole that perhaps we can never climb out from. But Americans are pretty tough. I for one will not just quit.
Socialism. It is a bit like taking a snort of cocaine or heroin and maybe crystal meth. It seems like a lot of fun and it makes you want more. Then eventually you decide to use a needle or maybe try crack cocaine. The amazing rush you get from the first time you shoot crystal meth into your veins makes you feel ten feet tall, invincible, a man women cannot resist. It is absolutely insanely awesome! When you come down you feel like excrement, but you just cook up a little more, suck it up in the hypodermic needle, turn it upside down and push to be sure that no air is in the needle and you get your fix again.
The trouble is that the second fix isn't quite as good as that first one. In fact pretty soon you have to begin doing more to get less of a high and before long, well, you eventually begin to neglect girlfriends and rent and food and all your resources go into going for that first high you will never get again.
America, a large part of America, they've had those first few shots in the veins. They haven't figured out that big thrill of electing a non-all-white President and the sudden flood of a few extra benefits to some poor folks and the mythological stimulus and bailout packages will not be enough. Pretty soon the nation will realize that they have a Jones and there is no fancy rehab facility that will cure it. Lots of people will be losing homes, jobs, savings will be gone...oh well. We made it last a long time, Ben...all the way into the 21st Century. Thanks Mssrs. Jefferson and Madison especially for the work you did on writing a large part of the documents we once believed in.
At least the political ads will stop playing now. That is the one thing.
