AMERICA IS WAKING UP

I am of the opinion that the political pendulum swings both ways in this country, and I believe at this point it is coming to a stop at the extreme left of its swing.  We have a Presidential Administration which is so far left it is socialist.  Have you noticed how the Democratic Party has stopped denying its socialist tendencies?  Apparently, they now openly embrace socialism.   
Those of us on the right realize that socialism is the greatest threat to democracy on the planet.  I see socialism as presenting an even greater threat than the Islamo-facist terrorists!   Americans are sick at heart about it and they intend to shove the pendulum hard—back towards the right.

The broad attempts of those on left to define and redefine those of us on the right side of America’s political spectrum, only lends credence to the right’s claim that the political left is simply not up to the job of governing a country in crisis.  There is no time for a vision quest (as some have referred to it) or social experiments.  America desperately needs experienced leadership to begin the long climb out of the quagmire we have gotten ourselves into by implementing the leftist agenda.

Far too many Americans have been unconcerned about the state of the country, especially Democrats.   Until recently, they have said, “it’s not like we have a dictator like Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Mao Zedong, Fidel Castro or Cambodia dictator Pol Pot, who enslaved and murdered their own people”.

I believe many are beginning to see the light, and not a minute too soon.   Our Government has many skeletons in the closets, beginning with slavery and continuing to this day.  For example: do you know about the syphilis research on black people that began in 1932?  Six hundred impoverished black sharecroppers in Alabama, who had contracted syphilis, were NOT TOLD they had it.  They were divided into groups in order to study the effects of many different types of treatment.  Some were not given any treatment at all, but used to compare with the different experimental treatments.  But NONE of them were ever told they had the disease.

Another example: did you know that Franklin D. Roosevelt sent a boat loaded with Jews escaping Hitler back to Germany, where all of them perished?  And, I’m sure you must know about the concentration camps where all the AMERICAN CITIZENS of Japanese descent were sent right after the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

OK, so you're thinking “all of this is ancient history”.   Let’s just look at recent history since electing Barack Obama.

Obama’s Internal Revenue Service persecuted honest people for the crime of being conservative critics of Obama, yet Obama nominated proven tax cheats like Tom Daschle, Nancy Killefer, Hilda Solis and Ron Kirk to major positions in his Administration.

Obama criticized Mitt Romney for keeping some money in the Cayman Islands, but then named Jack Lew to become Treasury Secretary, even though Lew keeps his money in the Cayman Islands.  

Obama and Hillary Clinton lied about Benghazi, Libya, and ordered Susan Rice to lie to the media for two weeks.   Obama even lied about the terrorist attack multiple times in front of the United Nations.

It now appears Clinton ordered a cover-up of a prostitution scandal in her own State Department.
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper lied in front of Congress about the National Security Agency surveillance program.

The head of the IRS lied in front of Congress about the scandal involving the targeting of conservatives.  

Obama stated on numerous occasions as a U.S. Senator that he stood against the Patriot Act and other invasions of privacy and violations of civil liberties.  Then, he doubled down as President.

Obama claims he knew nothing about IRS persecution — even though the head of the IRS visited the White House 157 times in his first term and even though Obama met with the head of the IRS employees union the day before the targeting began.

Attorney General Eric Holder appears to have lied under oath about spying on journalists, including James Rosen of FOX News (and his parents).  Holder said he knew nothing about it, while he was the one signing the request for surveillance.

Then there are the scandals themselves: the Fast and Furious scandal, the IRS scandal, the Benghazi scandal, the Justice Department media-spying scandal, the Kathleen Sebelius Obamacare extortion scandal.   There are so many scandals, I’ve lost track.

Obama supports strict gun control, but he had no problem selling guns to Mexican drug lords.  And no one bothered to keep track of where the guns were until 300 Mexicans and a U.S. Border Patrol agent were dead.

These scandals all tie together.  They represent government gone wild.  Our government is out of control.   How many executive orders away are we from a full fledged dictatorship?

Considering the recent track record of the IRS, is this who you want making your healthcare decisions?  When I need approval for expensive cancer treatments, will they withhold approval or delay reimbursements until I die?  Will they simply make my life miserable, while I’m dealing with a life-threatening illness?  Will they run targeted “death panels” by denying treatment to critics of Obama?

We heard under oath that NSA could not listen in on calls.  It only compiles the list of who is calling whom.  Then we found out only days later that NSA personnel can listen in on any call, anytime they choose.  My guess is they listen in only on Republicans. After all, to listen in on Muslims would be religious persecution.  

Should I assume that the same Obama Administration that labeled Ron Paul supporters as “terrorists” and suggested law enforcement pay them special attention, won’t target Rand Paul supporters for destruction by listening to calls, reading their emails or auditing their tax returns?

Should we assume the government won’t listen in on the privileged conversations of lawyers and American Civil Liberties Union executives to gain an edge in high-profile trials?

Do you honestly believe that if government wants to silence your criticism and dissent, it will wait for a warrant to listen to your calls?  Based on what we’ve seen with the IRS scandal and on what the NSA just admitted (that it can listen in anytime it wants), I’d expect our government to target conservatives’ conversations and emails and then, only after finding something they label as “questionable,” ask a judge for a warrant.

America made a huge mistake in 2008 and now we are paying dearly for that error in judgment.   But we can and WILL survive.  Such is the faith I have in America and her people.  It won’t be easy.  It will be a long hard grind but, the American public really is beginning to wake up.
