Summing It Up

America stumbled down a crooked path in 2008. We found our financial markets in the throes of what really was the worst reversal since the Great Depression, and not the fear-mongering rhetorical flourish Democrats trot out against Republicans in every election. We found conservatives have almost no home in the Republican party with the nomination of a fossilized moderate and the inclusion of a virtual unknown on the doomed ticket to placate real rightists. We found the faux conservative President continuing to push open-borders amnesty in the guise of comprehensive immigration reform and with the ascension of the Marxist-in-Chief, this is sadly a fait accompli. We have witnessed the boy-wonder achieve the highest office with untold cheating by ACORN and a complicit media that never bothered to mention to the public the fetid sewage that is Chicago politics until after the election. The media reports nothing remarkable about the Coleman-Franken contest with Franken now leading by forty-nine(49) votes in an election not-so-funny Al lost in November. We now find our nation being run by a party that will engage shamelessly in all sorts of chicanery to acquire and never relinquish power. We have no restraint in spending by either party with bailouts for bailouts, ineffective regulatory constraint, deliberate theft, and our oldest and most established companies either failing or essentially nationalised. We have instituted Western European socialism under a Republican President with ever more listing to the left promised by the new President who is beholden to a vast cabal of trial lawyers, homosexual activists, abortionists, gun-banners, dole-dwelling parasites, the campus cadre of communists and imbecilic idealists who are blissfully unaware of the dangers of our leftward plummet, and plain stupid folks who were convinced that all change (and we do need plenty) is in and of itself a good thing.
