Which path will we take? Do we turn to the left or will the centrists come out to vote?by donspoliticalblog

Are we ready for a turn to the left? When the designers of our democracy sat down in Philadelphia in the 1770's what was their goal for this new world? Did they anticipate a country where the government was so large that it took a man over half of his year just to pay his taxes? Did they anticipate a government so large that it took on the responsibility of free medical and free education? I believe the founders of this great country were men of extraordinary wisdom. They were all self made men who stood out from all the rest with their bravery and ability to survive with little more than a belief in freedom and the fortitude to risk it all for that goal. Does that sound like a bunch of socialists who expect the world to take care of them?
The United States is at a crossroads in its history. We have been slowly turning towards the left since the 68 elections and riots in Chicago. I guess you can say the students who followed Eugene McCarthy have grown up and taken charge. We have a slight problem though, they have taken charge of our schools and our media and some have made it into government but they have no possible idea how to remain free from either foreign governments or even our own. It's one thing to be idealistic but in the end it seems we usually have to stand and be willing to sacrifice in order to stay free and idealistic. Their disdain for the military and most things of moral value leave us naked and unprotected in this violent world. When we are all finished with this election and the voting is in we may just find ourselves with a far left congress a far left senate and a president who will rubber stamp what ever they put in front of him. I fear for that day as it will be a sea change of historical proportions. I fear for our vulnerability from a society of political correctness and our freedom to own and possess firearms. No matter what is said in this election by either candidate the real fear is in the total control by one group over us all.
If you look close you can see this change creeping in the door in the form of NAFTA, (The North American Free Trade Association.) The 700 billion dollar bailout that will leave a monumental debt for our children and our grandchildren to pay and the government in charge of private enterprise. You can see it in our lack of attention to our open borders. We will see it in the amnesty of millions of illegals here in this country. No indeed, I wouldn't call this an everyday election, the very thought of out of control inflation, skyrocketing medical costs due to the influx of illegals in our system leaves me a little frightened.
We need checks and balances to make America free and keep our sovereignty intact . Just like we need two legs to make a pair of trousers and two arms to make a sweater complete, we need the strength of both liberals and conservatives empowered to make this country strong enough to survive.
And that's my opinion, Don
