My Predictions for the New Obama "Presidency"

Now that America has shown us all that affirmative action even works in politics, I've compiled a list of things that you can probably expect to happen.  These predictions are 80% gleaned from information all of us have access to, and 15% gut instinct based on many years of research, historical study, and being glued to current affairs.  The other 5% is just anger at my countrymen's stupidity--I admit it.

- Websites and mass emails offering "free grants," courtesy of the government and "Obama's wealth redistribution." Actually, this one's a freebie, because I have an email with a date and time stamp of literally minutes after Obama was declared the winner, offering exactly that.

- Israel will understand this election was the end of any type of assistance, military or otherwise, from the U.S. , and will stop holding back their defense at the request of the American administration.  Look for a first strike on Iran soon, as well as increased activity by the Israeli military in general.  Israel is on her own now, and God help us all because of it.

- Look for Iranian retaliation--against American targets.  That goes doubly for other terrorist organizations.  We just elected a man with the full endorsement of every major terrorist group in the world as leader of the free world.  It's the political equivalent of hiring a child molester to babysit your kids while you leave for the weekend.
Not only is HE going to have fun with your child, but he'll probably sit and watch while his friends come over and do it too.

- Look for far-left justices appointed to the Supreme Court, effectively tying up the entire government in a trifecta of liberal humanism, the buzzwords of which remain empty platitudes like "hope and change," and the ultimate goal of which is socialism--and soon, sharia law.

- Military cases of troops being tried and convicted for killing the enemy in combat will continue to rise--and the conviction/plea-bargain rate will stay at nearly 100%, as the government seeks to use the best men and women this country has to offer as sacrificial lambs on the altar of global appeasement.  Those brave and honorable men who currently reside in prison cells across the country, stripped of their rank, their careers, families, and their good name, will not taste free air again for many years.  Their sacrifices and their stories will be forgotten by the general public, remembered only by those of us who continue to fight for them.

- Look for the slow but steady erosion of rights you have enjoyed for your entire lives--all the while being told it's "for your own good."
Restrictions on gun ownership, home schooling, encouraged dependence on the ever-growing federal government.  More nanny-state provisions will be put into place to protect the "disadvantaged" and the "poor," (read: lazy, uneducated, unwilling to better themselves) even while groups like the unborn, the mentally handicapped, elderly, and terminally ill are slowly pushed toward euthanasia.  Of course, this will be done with feel-good phrases like "death with dignity," "not wanting to be a burden,"
and "merciful release from suffering," all of which ignore the basic fact that we are killing people without their consent for the "good of the people." Before you tell me I'm crazy, let's just remember that Barack Obama was the ONLY senator in the Illinois state senate to vote against providing medical care for babies who were inconsiderate enough to survive an abortion.  Also, look for taxes to go up.  Yes, they'll go up.

- You think the economy is bad now?  Just wait.  You'll have the most expensive "free" health care ever.  Bread lines aren't just for Russians anymore.

We have traded experience for color, freedom for slavery--and the irony is that the average American sheeple thinks their vote somehow righted an ancient wrong, somehow ENDED the spectre of slavery and ushered in some beautiful era of liberty.  In reality, we are about to be less free than you ever thought possible.

I watched the faces of those crowded into the mob (excuse the pun) in Chicago .  They stared at Obama like he was a god, an idol, a panacea to their every want and need.  We have truly failed as a nation if we are at the point where we feel we must look to one man to take care of us all, to be our father figure and our sugar daddy.  We have lost not only the "can-do" attitude of past generations, but the "MUST-do"
attitude of our forefathers.  We have allowed ourselves to become reduced from Patrick Henry's proud cry of "liberty or death" to the sniveling, whining idea that we are owed something.  We have gone from being the honorable defenders of freedom, to being told we are the problem.

The eyes of Obama and McCain were also telling.  McCain acted with class and grace in his concession speech , offering the most honorable response I've seen yet.  I don't agree with all of McCain's positions, but it cannot be denied that the man has served his nation--at permanent and severe detriment to himself--for half a century.
His eyes were clear and sincere, honest.  His speech underlined the very reasons why, of the two men offered, he was hands down the best choice.

On the other hand, Obama's eyes were cold, calculating.  His manner was smug and still carried the arrogance he has always had.  His facial expression was one of barely disguised disdain for everything people like me believe in.  His body language was smooth, polished-- too much so.  He talked of patriotism as though it is a value he is familiar with--and yet, his horrifying attitude toward the country he now leads is as well-documented as his friendships with those who seek its demise.  He is charismatic to those who don't know what to look for, and he is inspiring to those who cannot or will not think for themselves.  However, too many who voted for him are guilty of the most dangerous kind of hypocrisy.  You see, we are told daily that we must not see color, just mankind.  (We are all family, you know--or so we're told.) And yet Barack Obama was handed the White House on a silver platter by a fawning media, a bevy of foreign donors (who, to this day and in violation of U.S.   election laws, remain nameless and unaccounted for), and a populace who voted based on color instead of right and wrong--even in the face of the most damning evidence against a Presidential candidate in many years , perhaps ever.

It is said that the people receive the government they deserve.  Sadly, I fear that's correct.  We have become complacent, unwilling to see the writing on the wall, content to frolic in the warm water without bothering to notice that it's been getting hotter by the minute.  We are two seconds from a rolling boil--and perhaps it is already too late.

So, liberals, enjoy your victory.  Jump around.  Have a party, file for your free grants.  Scream "Gimme my handout!" and make fun of those of us who fought to make sure your "messiah" didn't get access to the most powerful position in the world.  Just remember when it all comes crashing down: You own the White House, the Congress, and soon the Supreme Court.  You have no one to blame but yourselves for the mess you just created.

As for me, I'm buying my handguns this week so I have an answer for those who will come try to take them.

Hi Reb and Amanda,

Jim that is one beautiful baby .. you should be very proud as I am sure you are what a class act she is .. best lock and load and get ready she is going to be a knock out.


Now onto business. Amanda after reading that article I so agree with Jim's comment.

What a sad shape we are in . It seems there are only a hand full of true patriots left here in Adland and country wide. Such a pity that Americans have sold their birthright for a measly bowl of foul tasting soup.

The fall of every great nation started by loosing moral fibers and the breakdown of the family unit. History tells us this and as a very wise man once said , "there is nothing new under the sun."

No one seems to care they have lost much more than they will ever gain with our newly elected president. That has been groomed, planted and set in our midst for just this time. I could probably go on for page after page but I know you already know how this story ends. Like all great nations in complete destruction. As for me and my house we shall serve the L-rd.

Blessings,

Geketa

Hi Jim, Geketa & Amanda,

This thread started off with a thought provoking article and is now blasted with the truths in the article Amanda shared with us.

The problem stems from the herd mentality that so many have and the original source is the inadequate education system in the USA and unfortunately the world.

Geketa rightly named the reasons for home schooling. The inability of the school systems to instill thought as opposed to memorizing. Original ideas are not allowed cos it's probably in violation of the board of educations guide lines to the teachers. Out of the box thinking???? G-d forbid!!!!!! Imagination??? Who needs it!! The worst part is that the teachers aren't even able to cope with a student that thinks for himself/herself and questions what they are taught.

I remember the days when the schools main function was to teach you how to learn and not memorize. At least that's what I had when I was in school and my children were still fortunate to benefit from similar schooling. In addition of course to the never ending learning process at home.

Kit Lange's article is a mind blower not cos she's saying things we didn't know and believe to be true and have never stopped preaching and trying to wake up and convince the "herd" or the "sheeples" (as she calls them) to open their eyes and see the truth about this sorry choice of president elect. But for the simple reason that the freebies that so many want and believe is their right to get will be their downfall and she prophecies it so well.

The world will never be the same after January 2009 and the future is not one I look forward to in my normal optimistic manner. This will change the world and it's not one I envisioned for my children and grandchildren.

Shalom,

Peter

Hi Jim, Geketa and Peter,

Geketa, Homeschooling certainly has huge advantages over conventional schooling,
home schooled kids have much more general knowledge of the world.  They do far
more activities in and around the community and field trips away to widen their horizons.
They enjoy the privilege of thinking for themselves and problem solving.  Their spelling, english, maths, geography etc are so much higher level.  You did a good
and very worthwhile job homeschooling your children.

You cannot beat one on one teaching that is missing within the school structure for
several decades now as more children are packed into the classrooms with the
teacher trying to work with them all.  Teachers these days are so strapped down in
red tape and are expected to do more for their students than just teach as parents
are abandoning their responsibilities to parent their children at home and in support
of school rules and the law.  Students are answering back to teachers and are just plain rude, unruly and undisciplined. So many children cannot sit and stay focused for long. Schools are so fearful of being sued as well as their hands are tied from higher up.

Peter, opps I did not mean to blast you with the truth!! *grin*
Kit Lange has certainly put words to paper that we have been saying here in Adlandpro through various forums.  She has done a very good job of writing.
There is at present a handful of people who see what is going on around us while
the majority of the 'sheeple' are following along behind the Pied Piper and trying
to catch the magic of Obama.
There is a saying...
You can fool some of the people all of the time
You can fool all of the people some of the time
You cannot fool all of the people all of the time

There is hope that sheeple people will wake up.
