Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Obama, Americastan.
As bad as that? Who knows? Despite my cynicism and utter lack of faith in the judgment of the American people even I did not think they would ultimately fall for the foolishness of Obama. I was mistaken, we are that stupid.
Were these other men monsters to begin with? No, none of them was. They all expressed a deep concern for the well being of their people and sought to improve their lot in life. The economy was their greatest concern. That and being sure that everyone had their fair share.
Then things got ugly. I will not make this a history lesson beyond this. Many in the past have made themselves out to be the savior of the common people from the the fat cats and greed. I know of no instance in which those who said they wanted to help did not in the end do boundless harm.
The electorate of the United States have made a decision that I pray will not come back to haunt them terribly. Those of us who’s views are more conservative and traditional can only pray that not too much damage is done and that some sanity rises from this farce.
Perhaps most of all this is a betrayal of those in uniform that serve us so well under such difficult circumstances in such an imperfect and hostile world. To place them in the hands of such an utterly unexperienced and naive commander in chief is an insult to them all. They deserve better than this from the people they defend. Von Rum cannot help but feel that the men and women of our armed forces have been ignored at best and at worst used as pawns in this game for the White House. We can only hope that cooler heads around this semi-Marxist will prevail.
Should this blog continue look not for mercy upon either party in this. They both got us into this state of having elected a man who represents the opposite of so much that America has always stood for. A pox on all their houses.
