Kyle-Anne Shiver writes an excellent essay, "The Repugnance of Socialism", available today in American Thinker.
There also, Andrew Walden's timely and well-written "Barack Obama: Red Diaper Baby". That essay's title alone should give pause to any American, to wonder how and why we've managed to allow this serpent to come so close to the reigns of power. Does Barack Obama's candidacy and possible election represent the result of a necessary, but ultimately reversible, swing of the political pendulum, or is this candidate the One who will bring about the permanent destruction of our political balance?
We've cycled back and forth, now, for decades. During my lifetime, JFK/LBJ to Nixon/Ford to Carter to Reagan/Bush to Clinton/Clinton to Bash/Bush. During that time we've managed to stay pretty much a Representative Republic, with our three branches of government, none with more power than the other (although the Executive is most visible and the Legislative most strident). With the possibility of Barack Obama, and two houses of Congress, we may see a flaw, or a major breakdown of the system.
Especially with the fear-based catalyst that the economic crisis represents. If Obama assumes office and starts changing things willy-nilly, sends questionable hopey-changey bills that are immediately and without viable opposition rubber-stamped by the Legislative branch, supported by and opposition to silenced by a clingy media, then this entire nation may become unhinged and eventually unrecognizable.
I laughed when the leftys spoke that 'Bush will seize power, take over the nation, not allow elections, and become dictator for life!' Obviously, that didn't happen. President Bush succeeded in keeping America safe from further attacks during his watch.
An Obaminable administration bent on injecting a social platform the likes of which we've never seen before will undermine the very fabric of our nation. And without any opposition, may cause unrepairable harm. A veritable attack on our nation.
Tell me that's not frightening.
