Approaching Storm

I was standing on my front lawn the other day, watching a gathering storm. Something I've always enjoyed doing since childhood. While watching the ominous clouds and the flashes of lightning growing and approaching, I realized that there was an analogy there that was inescapable and highly applicable to our present national situation.

Ever since the election of Barach Hussein Obama, and the last few days of the Bush Administration, there have been the unmistakable signs of an approaching storm that threatens to rival any that this country has ever seen. As a matter of history, the Bush years were overshadowed by the events of 9/11 and our country's response to those events. For conservatives, there were mixed reactions to the policies that President Bush implemented in dealing with the terrorist threat. Myself and others did not like the establishment of the Patriot Act, as it has such a high potential for abuse by those in government who may have maliscious intent. Also, there was the creation of a whole new government bureaucracy called " Homeland Security ", which has an even greater potential of being misused by the same type of people.
In retrospect, these two items together with Bush's attempt to transfer control of our seaports to the country of Dubai ( an Arab nation ), his advocacy of unnecessary prescription entitlements for wealthy seniors, his unprecedented inflation of the federal bureaucracy, his promotion of amnesty for illegal immigrants, and his creation of the first stimulus package, have revealed him to be a socialist-lite version of Obama.
It appears that Bush was destined to be the precursor of Barach Obama, a sort of "John the Baptist", preparing the way.


Then onto the stage walks Barach Hussein Obama, the messiah ( to those on the left ), the one who is to bring hope and change, compassion and help to the down-trodden, and the culmination of the Marxist dream of Utopia for all.


But, what is not understood by the same people who sing Obama's praises, is that before Utopia arrives there must first come totalitarianism. This is also included in the Marxist dream and in Obama's plan for America.


This is the storm that is brewing, and indeed is not too far away.
The two issues that will be central to Obama's agenda are : healthcare and man-made climate change. These two will be the primary fulcrums that he will use to gain control of our free society. Make no mistake about it, this man does not give a rat's behind for the physical well-being of the populace, only control! If he can control the health and well-being of every man, woman, and child in this country, then he will have effectively seized our very freedom.


The same is true regarding the issue of man-made climate change. This grandiose hoax is designed by the left to be a facade for the stifling of free-enterprise and a back-door rationale for nationalizing major industries. Their tactics are subtle, deceptive, and (thus far) successful. Obama, (along with allies in Congress, the state-run media, and Hollywood), has been advancing this lie by saturating the collective consciousness of millions of Americans with a constant barrage of innuendo, half-truths, and out-and-out lies. The scientific community is by no means on board with this issue despite the claims of such shrill liars as Al Gore and the Congressional Democrat leadership. The term "global-warming" is no longer used by these people because it has become widely known that the southern hemisphere has actually cooled by a degree. Therefore, it is now called "climate change". When their lies are exposed for what they are, the left simply morphs their propaganda to fit their needs.


There is a lot more that could be said, for instance: if Obama is so compassionate towards the needs of the uninsured and needy in the country, then why is his brother languishing in abject poverty ( in an 8x8 hut with a dirt floor ) in Nairobi?? Next, why has Obama spent upwards of $1 million defending himself against lawsuits seeking to force him to release his original birth certificate?? He may be a legitimate American citizen, but who knows for sure and why hide the truth that will end the debate?


Indeed, there is much more that can be said and also much more that needs to be done to expose the despots and demagogues running our country right now. Our only hope is the Congressional elections of 2010. But, honestly, I am not convinced that we will see any elections. In the mean-time we need to keep the pressure on, as so many are now doing, with townhall meetings and tea parties, phone calls and emails, and encouragement and prayer. God is still in control and we are still free. Let's all of us be individual "Paul Reveres" and do what we can to preserve the freedoms that we hold so dear in this country.... before it's too late.
