Requiem For America


Folks,

Last night’s election was most disturbing and disheartening to me. It certainly was not a landslide victory for Romney as I had predicted. I now realize that I was thinking with my heart and not my head. I did not want to believe that our country had changed so much, and that a failure like Obama could actually get re-elected and be given an opportunity to “Finish the job”. “Finish the Job” are his words from his acceptance speech, last night. Therein lies the problem. To the uneducated and ill-informed Obama Zombies, “Finish the Job” means that he will continue to work to improve the economy, create jobs, etc. To Obama, and those of us who possess critical thinking skills and have ears and actually listen, “Finish the Job” means to “Fundamentally Transform America”! Obama’s plan has been and will continue to be to diminish America and his pledge to “Finish the job” is a threat that is actually applauded by the numbskulls that voted for him, support him and cheer for him.
 
This morning, all the pundits are offering their worthless opinions about how Obama won and how the Republicans lost and what needs to be done. These self-avowed intellects are blaming Romney’s strategy, Romney’s timidity, the Republican Party establishment, the media, and on and on. Many believe that a more Conservative candidate is the solution. Others believe that the Tea Party posture is too extreme and it frightens the electorate. Still others believe the Republicans need to find a way to attract single women, Blacks, Latinos, and Gays. In other words, the Republicans need to become “Democrat Light” if they want to win.
 
Folks, the problem is not the candidate, nor the Republican Party. Romney was a great choice and he would have been a great president. The problem is not the Republican platform or the Tea Party tugs to the right. The problem is that the Republicans are selling products, values, beliefs, that too many of the present day electorate ain’t buying. The Republicans/Conservatives are selling what the people don’t want…..accountability, self-sufficiency, competition, success, hard work, honesty, respect, family values, God, Pro-Life, American Exceptionalism, traditional marriage, border control and legal immigration, sanctity of life, Constitutional Rights and freedoms, smaller government, less dependence on government, less taxes, fiscal responsibility, freedom to get rich, freedom to own firearms, freedom of religion, free speech, etc.
 
America has changed!
 
It’s not the candidate and it’s not the platform. It’s the changed electorate. This is no longer Post WW II America. That generation is gone and those values are gone. The last generation with solid American values is mine and we are dying off daily. We are the sons and daughters of the Greatest Generation. All the following generations (my children and their children) are kids from the 60’s and 70’s with different values towards America, fiscal responsibility, world politics, drugs, music, entertainment, fashion, language, education, work ethic, etc. Not all of these generations, but too many!
 
Today’s Americans see things in a different way. They see:
Abortion….not murder
Free contraceptives……not Freedom of Religion
Gun control…….not 2nd Amendment rights
Fairness….not competition
Government assistance……not independence
Gay marriage and tolerance…….not values and beliefs
Illegal immigration and a “live and let live” attitude/lawlessness……..not border control
A One World mentality……..not American Exceptionalism
Spend more than we earn…….not fiscal responsibility
Cut defense spending and spend more on social justice…..not peace through strength
Tax the rich/successful more……..not encourage success and entrepreneurialism
Divisive class warfare…….not “E Pluribus Unum”

Folks, I fear that today’s electorate is the proverbial dog that caught the truck. They are not going to understand the consequences of their actions until it’s too late and the worst part of it is, there is nothing we can do to prevent this!

We can preach until the cows come home. We are fighting against the times, the education system, the media, the New World Order.

All we can do is look at our America as the Shining City on the hill that once existed. America will become the legend, like Camelot. Tales will be written about America and movies will be made. Songs will be sung and future generations will wistfully gaze up to the heavens as they privately (and perhaps secretly) muse about how wonderful such a place as America must have been. It’s a Camelot story and at the same time a Planet of the Apes tale. My grand-children will read that …………”….for one brief shining moment there was a place called Camelot/America”!
 
Farewell, America.
God bless the land that I loved!
Carlo

Don't you just love intergration and illegal migration?

I totally agree. It starts in the public school system. Look what it's cranking out. Look at the teachers. Unless a child has parents who believe in these values we do not stand a chance of ever being anything close to a nation anymore that has principles and stands for something other than free stuff.
Schools have dumbed down and no one knows how to critically think. They believe jerks like omalley who repeats ad nauseum that MD schools are #1 in the nation. Only fools believe him. The truth is the more they can label a child learning disabled the more they can adjust test scores. Notice the sudden increase in the autism and the diagnosis du jour auersperger's(sp ?)? Alot of these kids need nothing more than strong parenting and parents who will lay down the law and make the child behave. Alot of times though it is such things as fetal alcohol syndrone and heaven's forbid we offend Baby Momma and tell her the truth so they broadened the definition of autism to include FAS.
All these dumb mothers who themselves were dumbed down by the school system fall for this BS.

carlo.....you are correct....at least for the present........but you should remember that 50% of eligible voters didn't. of those that did, it was 24.9% vs 25.2%......a very small margin and one that would disappear if their own coddled well being is threatened...not one of our soldiers, but their own. stand by:)

Wow, couldn't have said it better myself.
Obama ran a campaign on Marxist principles. Demonize success with jealousy and divisiveness. Win the weak and feeble minded. Instill a false sense that they deserve a piece of the pie they did not contribute to. Appeal to the soft hearted liberal with no vision or motivation to improve so as to support the ill fated cause.
America just became another average third world nation...

I am throwing up in my mouth. I am now looking for another country to live in. I refuse to be associated with the present electorate of this country. IF I fail to find a better country than this, I will stand and fight for what is right, and against everything Obama stands for.

This is going to be uncomfortable, but necessary.

Hey, Carlo, I'll help you pack. But where you going?

Canada? Socialized medicine.
England? See Canada.
Australia? Their prime minister is a female atheist who's shacked up with her unmarried partner for years.

So where you going, Carlo?

This is great. I'm a bigot and intolerant and add racist to that also.
I just love it how when someone hits the nail on the head with something the obamanista's attack.
They all know this is so true and they hate it-they can't stand it.

Carlo is an excellent observer.

America just lost the cold war that never ended. Marxism and all of its increments and forms have been established in America by subverting the underclass. They re-branded and railroaded a racist closet communist through the system as they had been chipping away at America bit by bit through liberal ideals in education and behold, we have a new king, With built in followers programmed in liberal education to tolerance and acceptance of mediocre.
Forward! Just like 1930's Germany.
Obama is not Hitler. His aims are different, but his tactics are that of Hitler and Stalin however more subtle and re-branded.
Demonize rich, success. Lower the bar. Bolshevize...
This could go on and on.... nevermind.

So where you going, Carlo?

That's one of the points. There is no place to go. This country WAS the only place for freedom. Now, that is gone.

There is NOWHERE anyone can go now.

We are now stuck with these blissful, lip-smacking leeches that exist solely for their own wants and pleasures.

Mindless slugs who have no critical thinking capability.

Canada's healthcare system is just what we have in Medicaid though it is available to anyone. The overwhelming number of Candians (not sure but more than 50%) choose to pay extra for supplemental private health insurance or choose to go the private route all together. There is no comparison between Obamacare and Canada's system.

Anyone with any knowledge of history knows the path we're on. Last days of Roman Empire, Babylon, Germany circa 1929 - 32 all rolled into a neat little tyrannical ball

To me it changed in 1984, when the voodoo economics really got started. True the debt is MUCH bigger now but the government still operates on the same spend today pay later principles of the early 80s.

Well said, esp "farewell America". We are now a dependent and socialist nation, which is against all principles that we were founded on!!

So we lost the battle. That's clear.. but the fight's not over.
Our next focus is the 2014 midterms.

Hundreds of thousands of brave Americans have lost their lives defending our freedom. Are we going to throw that out the window, or are we going to press on and do our best to fix this?
The younger generation CAN be shown the light-- many of them are already awakening. They see the taxes coming that will wipe out their future. We need to empower them to reach their friends.
Sometimes if you just gently explain the truth to the young ones who have been misguided by the socialist left, their eyes will begin to brighten and the lights will come on.
Help them see, in real terms, what is ahead for them on this path, and that the money to pay for all these promises has to come from somewhere.

All these government jobs with great pay and benefits and all the entitlements are a net LOSS to the treasury-- they require a robust private sector paying a lot of taxes to fund them. If we pay a government worker 100K, he might pay 15K in taxes back into the treasury.
Where is the rest of his pay coming from? Santa Claus?

Our only hope of recovery in this country is to enlighten the ignorant. We can do it-- one person at a time, out of a sense of caring for them and for our country.
Do your best. Start NOW.

It would make me happy if just one of you people who claims they are going to move to another country actually does so. None of you will, so quit pretending that you actually will do so. I will give Joe credit though we disagree on pretty much everything--he moved so he could try to accomplish a goal. The rest of you "I'm moving to Canada" whiners don't have the guts.
