Then and now
This article is one of the most disturbing things I have read in some time. Liberals have been passing these affirmative action laws for years now, with virtually no opposition from conservatives. They use these laws to do favors for their friends and stack the deck in their favor. It is just one more example of democrats pandering to their base.
What I find hard to believe is that these laws get passed without so much as a whimper from conservatives. I have to believe that at the very least these laws violate the fourteenth amendment, specifically the equal protection clause. How can it be legal for a group of people to be given preferential treatment based on their sexual orientation?
I've said this before and I'll say it again, this country is under constant attack by socialists, and they are winning. One only has to look around the country to see that I am right. I view socialism as a disease and I believe that it has spread too far already to stop it. We the people have ignored the problem for too long, our complacency has brought us to where we are today and we have no one to blame but ourselves.
We are all riding on a big train that is racing down the tracks at full speed, and there is nothing we can do to stop it. I don't know how long it is going to take, 50 years or maybe a 100, but eventually this train is going to crash full speed into a wall made up of our own greed and complacency, the crash is going to be devastating. We may be able to pick up the pieces and put them back together but the end result will never look anything like the founding fathers had intended. I know some of you are thinking, “Just more doom and gloomâ€. I can assure you that this is not the case. I challenge you to look at the facts and come to your own conclusions. I'm confident that if you'll be truthful to yourself you'll come to realize that I'm right. I can provide countless examples if you want me to, I would be more than happy to do it, but we are all adults here and we know what the examples are going to show us.
I don't want this country to go down in history as a total failure because of socialism. I am a retired military veteran who has given many years of his life defending this nation and its ideals. I love this country as much as anyone but sometimes we have to face facts. I just think that we have gone past the point of no return. Even with all of this I want to be optimistic about our future. Even though it may be small one I think we still have a chance to turn things around, but it is going to take some drastic measures. The left is going to fight us kicking and screaming all the way but I think we can kick their asses if we work smart and stop being afraid to confront them.
The upcoming election is very important. Mitt Romney is not the perfect choice but when we add Ryan to the mix I think we have a good team, and we can win. If we do win and we spend the next four years undoing the worst of Obama’s disasters we might just stand a chance of turning this around. Then if we run Ryan and he gets elected we could find ourselves in good shape. As president he could spend an additional four years cleaning up Obama's mess and add some positive ideas of his own. As an added bonus is if we can maintain our majority in the house and perhaps gain a majority in the senate we could find ourselves in a very good position to make some real changes if we don't get stupid about it. Time will tell.
