Welcome to change comrades

Well...I hope this was the change you voted for. Straight from one of the voices who worked so hard to ensure this "change," "Red state, Blue state, it doesn't matter, we are all socialist now."

The largest single government spending spree in our history, baring some sort of miraculous, last minute lightning bolt of common sense, is all but assured of passage in the senate tomorrow. To quote the Newsweek article,

Now comes the reckoning. The answer may indeed be more government. In the short run, since neither consumers nor business is likely to do it, the government will have to stimulate the economy. And in the long run, an aging population and global warming and higher energy costs will demand more government taxing and spending. The catch is that more government intrusion in the economy will almost surely limit growth (as it has in Europe, where a big welfare state has caused chronic high unemployment). Growth has always been America's birthright and saving grace.

The Obama administration is caught in a paradox. It must borrow and spend to fix a crisis created by too much borrowing and spending.

Wherever you are tomorrow when the vote is cast, know that your elected government has taken a sharp left turn (pun intended) and the country you grew up in, the country whose flag has covered so many coffins of young men and women who died defending it's land, it's ideals, and it's freedoms, the country of "united we stand, divided we fall," has started down a path that will be almost impossible to turn back from.

For everyone who voted for this "change," please understand that some of us will have to be dragged along kicking and screaming. As long as the First Amendment still stands, some of us will exercise our freedom to voice our opposition and lift up this country in our prayers. As long as the Second Amendment still stands, some of us will we willing to resist, and dare I say it?...fight if need be to ensure the survival of liberty and freedom.

Until that day comes when the last voice is silenced and the last will to resist is gone, know that you haven't won.

I will end with two of my favorite quotes from a pair of our founding fathers. "Those who would sacrifice freedom for security, deserve neither." Benjamin Franklin

"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have." Thomas Jefferson.

Tomorrow, those who voted for the former and "change," will have a government capable of doing the latter. Only time will tell if it's the last government we will ever have.
