Little did I realize back in November when I cast my ballot for Barack Hussein Obama that I'd be inviting so many potential disasters.
Sure, under Bush we had to worry about supporting two losing wars in the Middle East, the rising threat of nuclear weapons in Iran and North Korea, the secret looting of our financial system of trillions of dollars, a continuing decline in environmental quality, the imminent threat of Global Warming, the meltdown of Pakistan's political system, and the inability of our own Federal Emergency Management Administration to provide much more help than chests of ice and important uses for duct tape. But, by God, no one could deny that Bush was a decider, and even more astoundingly, decidedly stupid.
Yet as a nation we endured, comforted by our belief that once we got rid of the SOB and his cronies we could begin to restore some sanity and security to our grand Republic.
But what's happened over the past 78 days since Obama placed his hand on Lincoln's bible and took the oath of office? Far more grave dangers have indeed emerged, many intentionally caused by the Obama administration, while others have simply been allowed to develop and fester under his careless watch.
First, that once impenetrable wall that safely ensconced straight people's marriages from usurpation by a bunch of gay and lesbian infidels has been severely breached. Iowa - the friggin' Hawkeye State, clearly suffered more than mere vapors upon the inauguration of its primary choice as the next president of the United States. Its conservatively dominated Supreme Court has been tricked into permitting homosexuals to enter into matriomony.
And in Vermont, which prides itself on the quality of its dairy products and the exceptional flavor of its maple syrup, all purity and sweetness has been sacrificed as the state's legislature has passed over a governor's veto, marriage rights for homosexuals.
The same fateful exercise is being repeated in New Hampshire, and later this year in Maine, meaning that only tiny, stalwart Rhode Island will remain as a defender of straight marriages in all of New England.
The wonderful free market that has given us such incredible success stories as Enron and Adelphia, and manufactured unparalleled success among the nation's top financial firms, is being forced by Obama to ingest hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer money. Wall Street's brightest are being publicly humiliated, and unless a stop is put to this soon, they're bound to flee to some reasonable haven as London or Zurich or Tokyo or Hong Kong to pursue new opportunities for bilking billions out of investors and governmental treasuries.
Soon, thanks to Obama's socialistic experimentation, Detroit will be forced to either produce high quality, fuel efficient automobiles or accept complete failure. Really. There's no limit to Obama's audacity.
Even worse, it appears as though the Obama Socialist Republic is determined to force regulators on businesses in all fifty states and the District of Columbia, demanding that oppressive health and safety standards be employed at our food factories and slaughter houses. How, soon, pray tell, will it be before it's discovered that some infectious bacteria has infiltrated the supply of pecans and walnuts, adding to the troubles of the peanut and pistachio growers? And will we be able to count on Obama to force the sames kinds of regulatory oversight on Hawaii's macadamia nut growers?
And let's face it. I've felt my anxiety levels rise daily over the fear that suddenly a bunch of undeserving poor people will be extended government health care benefits, meaning less money will be available for funneling to those people who work hard and deserve coverage, and to the supremely talented executives of the insurance companies.
People, I'm telling you. The threats are gathering like a storm, drawing tea-baggers of every persuasion into the streets. And just when I think I might have a handle on it all I get smacked upside the head with another broadside.
We're doomed.
Let me repeat that. We're doomed!
Just this evening I received this thoughtful warning from GOP Chair Michael Steele, via a friend who forwarded it to me:
Dear -----,
It has become plain that when candidate Obama talked about change--he was talking about using the system to create permanent liberal control of the federal government.
Our Constitution requires we take a population census every 10 years.
"Ok -- so what?" you might ask.
Well -- the future shape of Congress, state legislatures and the balance of political power between states are at stake. This is because individual election district lines will be redrawn based on the Census figures.
The Census further determines changes in population and demographics across the country and has an impact on the amount of federal funds which are allotted to individual states.
It determines the number of Representatives each state has in the U.S. House and therefore the make-up of the Electoral College that will determine the outcome of the 2012 Presidential election.
It seems the Obama Administration has plans to rig the Census results.
President Obama's old friends from ACORN, the leftist, urban "community" organization with a long history of promoting vote fraud, has been chosen by the Administration as a "partner" with the Census Bureau to determine population counts in cities around the country.
With this group's track record of coming up with countless fraudulent voter registrations in heavily Democrat areas to sway elections to ultra-liberals, you can be sure they'll be manipulating population numbers as well.
And after receiving millions in political payback from the Democrats' recently passed "Stimulus" Bill, ACORN's community organizers are eager to once again take action to aid their old friend in the White House.
Why is this important? The U.S. population has shifted in the last ten years. States like Illinois, Michigan, New York and Pennsylvania (all states Obama won in 2008) have smaller populations, and states like Arizona, Georgia and South Carolina (all states that John McCain carried) have gained population.
The trend illustrates that urban strongholds, which favor Democrats, continue to lose population to more decentralized areas in states more likely to lean Republican.
If the Democrats and their friends at ACORN have their way, the Census will only "estimate" state populations and therefore be subject to political calculations. And surely their estimate will be far higher than the actual number of people, and voters, present.
We must not let the Democrats and their radical leftist allies falsify the U.S. Census and manipulate elections in their favor. Our democracy, and the principle of "One Person, One Vote" are in jeopardy.
Please help the Republican Party's effort to spread the word about the Obama Democrats' misuse of power and plans to end free and fair elections. Support our effort to get the word out about this threat and ensure an accurate, non-partisan Census by making a contribution of $1,000, $500, $100, $50 or $25 to the Republican National Committee today.
Your gift will also help support the recruitment and election of principled candidates who will defeat the Democrats in 2010 and pave the way to send Barack Obama packing in 2012. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Michael Steele
Chairman, Republican National Committee
P.S. ------, we are working hard to expose the irresponsible and unethical actions of Democrats in Washington and their left-wing enablers, but we need your financial support to do this vital work. That's why I hope you'll take this opportunity right now to support our fight against bad leadership and bad legislation by making a secure online contribution of $1,000, $500, $100, $50 or $25 to the RNC today. Thank you.
Normally, I would not publish an entire letter penned by Michael Steele. But given the direness of our situation I believe Michael Steele's complete message should be given the widest possible exposure.
I hope you'll join with me in sending him an appropriate response.
