Conservatives are noticing that the slide to communism has been going on too long and it is time to reign in an out-of-control government, drunk with power.
Funny thing is for those of us who held our noses and voted for John McCain is that had he won, we would still be descending into Marxism, just not quite as fast.
I have to wonder if it isn't better for us in the long run that Obama won. His rapid fire policies and hurry-up-and-vote attitude has awoken the sleeping conservative bears. Conservatives don't really want to bother with politics, we have families to worry about - we mostly just want to be left alone. The President is clearly not leaving us alone. We can finally easily see it.
Like a frog in hot water, the conservative is becoming very uncomfortable. Heat the water slowly enough and the frog will eventually quietly boil to death. Put him directly into the boiling water, and he quickly jumps out. McCain would have been slower heat, and likely an unsuccessful president. Due to the failing economy, a Democrat would almost certainly have been elected in 2012 and would then have turned up the heat at least a little. In time, we would all have surely boiled to death in the Marxist broth.
Apparently the only thing Obama doesn't know about is boiling frogs. He is tossing us head first into the boiling Marxist soup without allowing us to ease into it, baby toe at a time. Companies are being taken over; salaries are being capped, taxes are being raised, mammoth bills are attempting to be forced through without allowing time to inform the public or even allowing congressmen themselves to completely read and digest them. The sleeping bears are awake now. The water is far too hot to fast - so we are finally motivated to jump up and shout: "YIKES!! - too much heat".
Better we have this man in there now so independents, conservative Democrats and disgusted Republicans can see what socialism / Fascism / communism is really all about. Even they were surprised he would accuse a white police officer for "acting stupidly" in defense of his radical black friend without any information. Even they know a president shouldn't bother with such mundane and relatively unimportant incidents, regardless of who was at fault - but issuing a presidential opinion without facts or reports because his friend was arrested? Many are noticing that there is apparently no end to what this man wants to control.
Thank you Mr. President for your clear demonstration of Marxism, your circumvention of the constitutional mandate of the balance of power with the appointment of dozens of unaccountable ruling czars, and your ever-overreaching attitude. Without such brash actions, maybe we wouldn't have noticed as quickly that the water was heating up.
After the election, many of us were angry and depressed. Now we realize that you, Mr. President, and your army of politically connected anti-American Marxist radical friends are truly a blessing in disguise.
Thank you. We owe you a debt of gratitude for awakening and motivating the silent majority who have had enough of this and are finally realizing it.
