Research the rise of Barack Obama's journey to President of the United States
While Canada's voters had just reeled in a liberal government and had guided their bus into the right lane, American voters were instead making a hard left turn driving their's off the bridge, through the guard rail, and into uncharted waters.
America had reached a point in its history where a majority of its voters on November 4, 2008, chose an individual to run their country whose qualifications had come from the tongue and not from a resume . . . whose change had come from elegant speeches that promised free money while never being tested in national leadership roles or having to sign payroll checks for employees while running a business.
He had said, "They will say I have a strange name, and by way did you know he's Black!" Well "they" never did, having passed the color barrier while he was still lamenting about it.
A radio host had thought that of the tens-of-millions who voted today were playing the lottery, with a average individual donation to the campaign from over 3-million people at around $86, seeing it as a cheap date for all the promises that had been made for free services and bucks.
One woman had summed up the frenzy of the campaign perfectly, remarking she had never thought she would see the day when a president would be filling her gas tank and paying her mortgage - (If playing, turn off music on homepage.) America's foundation had never been built before on the backs of the success of those who had taken risks only to hand over part of their reward to those who hadn't.
I'm sure all wish the new president well, respecting the office he has sought and won.
But if his party reigns with their promises of change, he will be establishing conditions Americans had previously died for to protect. Blue-collar workers will lose their right of a secret ballot, forced to join a controlling union while paying monthly fees from their paychecks. Radio hosts, who go against the party line, will be silenced with the Congressional passing of the oxymoron "Fairness Doctrine." And organizations such as ACORN will be organized in city after city across America to serve his demands for social engineering.
When in Chicago in the 1990s, the newly elected president was reported to had trained ACORN members to use fascist tactics to force banks to give mortgages to those who couldn't afford them. There were repots of even threats to CEO's and their families at their private residences, being called racists. ACORN, with the help of Democrat Attorney General Reno's threatening banks with red-lining, won the day.
Banks suddenly were forced to go against solid business practices that had built this nation's wealth with secure loans. The techniques to force lending institutions to give out mortgages to people who would not be able to continue to make the payments would eventually cause defaults in the millions, finally coming to a head that lead America to the finanical meltdown investors suffered in October of 2008.
Then there was Libyan leader Muammar Gadhafi, (If playing, turn off music on homepage), disturbing Arab video where he joyously called the new candidate for president in June of 2008 "a citizen of Kenyan African origins, a Muslim." Gadhafi had amazingly ignored the candidates claim that he had accept Christ during his life, an act that would normally take the life of a Muslim, while he compared president Reagan to Hitler.
Looking over all of this and considering today's election of a president for the United States of America has to be the most unusual in the history of this country, with Americans not even knowing the elected leader's real background or motivation . . . nor seeming to even care. So now we wait to see if the new president will duplicate his community organizer tactics and slowly force social engineering onto the American people.
A sign of the coming times may be hidden in this president's reluctance to provide a simple document we all are required to keep in our file cabinets at home. It's an original birth certificate with our middle name that allows us the opportunity to receive a driver's license, passport, or critical security clearance for government employment. What is disturbing is that the new president's supporters called anyone asking to see a copy of this document, racists, the new president having origins in Kenya.
Many Americans have a right to worry with any election of a new president. But the last community organizers in memory were found in Germany in the 1920s. They were called Brown Shirts. Their leader was also charismatic, promising change for the masses. He had announced that with the people's help the "Fatherland" would one day rule the world, bringing them out of a great recession and the reason they had voted for him in the first place.
He went on to establish a national Youth Corp whose young members would eventually be convinced to report back what was being discussed around the family dinner table. Those who lived in Germany at the time didn't believe it could happen. But it did.
