Post Race Analysis

Absolutely stunning.

President Obama

Boy howdy, did I have it wrong.

I am in good company, joining Ann Coulter, Charles Krauthammer, Glenn Beck, Larry Kudlow, Michael Barone, Karl Rove and Dick Morris. Among those who had it nailed was Larry Sabato.

What area of my analysis was so flawed that led me draw conclusions that were so in error?  Well, as incorrect as I was, arm-chair quarterbacking seems useless.  However, the area I have zeroed in on leads to a larger point.

I agreed wholeheartedly with the post race analysis of David Barton, who centered in on decades of education that failed to accurately present the fundamentals of being knowledgeable and participatory in the pursuit of economic freedom, complete with lacking moral perspective.

Individuals in the age range of say 20-34 grew up within the technological age, with exponential increases in product advancements.  For many, hard work and ethics were not necessary to acquire many materialistic items, and the basis and desire for the pursuit is lacking.

Furthermore, Obama and Biden and their surrogates operated in a most immoral fashion throughout the campaign, lying and ridiculing opponents allowing them to win at any costs necessary.  If I acted like that at my job, I would be fired as we are asked to operate in maximum efficiency adhering to rules of common decency and decorum.

Obama lies in speeches, sounding quite good to the American Idol crowd, but actually does not pursue any of the common sense seemingly obvious courses of action he mentions.  Reducing the debt, which exploded under his watch, and increasing energy, which his instruction has handicapped, are two examples from his victory speech last night.

The Republican Party needs to do a much better job of dismantling the falsehoods they are painted with, and doing a better job a presenting the case of establishing economic freedom, something the public education system has failed miserably to do.

Mitt Romney would have been a terrific representative as President of the United States, and unlike 51% of my fellow citizens, I was pained to learn he would not have that chance. Romney, and Paul Ryan, are fine men.

I fear for the future.  President Obama will continue to spend, increasing taxation and regulation along the way. His warm smile fronts a jaded mask, and a man who is not at peace and will aim to demonize those who dare to oppose him in his wealth transformative efforts.

For those who did not learn it in school, we remember Lady Thatcher, who quipped "Socialism is great until you run out of everyone elses money." 

I have a news flash for you; we are out of money.

A New American Revolution

Indeed, elections have consequences. We are two years into the Obama administration and in almost every measure, it has been a historic failure.

Obamabots will point to what they consider successes, such as the health care bill and the stimulus package. Considering, as indicated by a series of poll results, the majority of Americans are against both actions, it seems clear that these are not successes but failures.

Promised transparency instantly evaporated. An appraisal of the down low dirty dealing necessary to pass the health care bill indicates a disregard for principled leadership, and evidence suggests that Obama is governing on his own Progressive mindset and against the will of the American people.

With Obama's transformation of America in full gear, it did not come as a surprise that Americans who believe in the first principles and free market capitalism almost immediately rose up to stand firmly against this attack on our values and principles.

Among the movements born out this assault were the 9-12 groups and the Tea Party movement, which grew into an election altering mass. The growing number of Americans that align with these groups, and those appalled at Obama and his arrogant thugocracy are about to be heard. November 2 is fast approaching, and it is near time to swing a big stick at the ballot box.



Americans voted for change, but not to change America. A coming landslide will take many who helped this progressive transformation down, but the effort to cleanse our governing houses will unfortunately be far from over. Too many in Washington, on both sides, lack respect for small business working America and embrace the power and progressive policies that have been slow creeping for decades.

Ronald Reagan once said "We could say they spend like drunken sailors, but that would be unfair to drunken sailors. Drunken Sailors are spending their OWN money". Obviously, this mindset went on steroids in the first half of the Obama administration, and in part due to this lack respect of the citizenry, A Battle for America is looming, one free market capitalists are prepared to win. Our founders would want it that way.

I live in the south, and I'll take some sugar with my TEA!
