In response to one of my posts yesterday, a person said that we need to allow the Democrat to win so that we can then have a “true” conservative win in four years. On the surface I agree with that statement. After four years of the disaster of Barack Obama, the US will be begging for a conservative to lead. My only problem is with the type of country we would be left with.
Barack Obama believes that when it comes to fighting, running is the best option. Therefore, all that our brave men and women in the military have won in the last few years will be lost in a few months under Barack Obama. We will just be defending the homeland. They will have everywhere else. We will start seeing people die on our streets from terrorist attacks. The typical response from Obama will be to let the local law enforcement office investigate and prosecute these “crimes”. There will be no coordination to stop the attacks as Obama does not believe that they would dare attack the US.
We would no longer live in a free country. We would live in a socialist country. Once you live in a socialist country, it takes a few generations to get rid of the socialism. It only takes a few years to get into socialism, but more than a lifetime to get out. Our healthcare would become like England and Canada. We would have doctor shortages as doctors would retire rather than accept the low wages that are part of socialized medicine. That would mean long lines at the doctor’s office. Urgent surgeries would be scheduled by bureaucrats instead of doctors. That will mean that some people will not get the surgeries that they need to live, this happens regularly in England and in Canada. Once the quota for births has been reached all additional births are on their own, like happened in Canada last year.
Taxes will go up. Unemployment will go up. Recently the national minimum wage went up and the unemployment rate went up. Newspapers did not make the connection, but they happened at exactly the same time. This will happen regularly in an Obama Presidency.
How can I say all of this? I look to the model of Michigan. It has been run by Democrats for almost 10 years and it is almost deserted. Their unemployment rate is the highest in the country. They cannot attract new businesses. All major politicians go there and say how much they are going to do to bring back Michigan’s economy, but they will not say what brought Michigan to this point. What brought them to this point is that Michigan taxes everything and taxes it at a high rate. No wonder that businesses leave and find other places to do business.
Put this on a national level and you will see what will happen. Any corporation that can leave will leave the country and set up shop somewhere else where taxes are better. This will reduce our tax pool driving up the deficit and making taxes rise even more.
What I see from an Obama Presidency is such a disaster that I cannot in good conscience allow it to happen. The only good thing would be that people would be begging for a conservative to lead the country by the time 2012 came around. The problem is that there might not be a country left to run in 2012 if Obama is elected President. He runs from every threat. He will allow Iran to go nuclear. That will allow terrorists to get nuclear bombs. Once terrorists have nuclear bombs, cities will start to disappear in a burst of light and a mushroom cloud. We will be forced to surrender to the terrorists because Obama will not allow us to fight the terrorists. We just might not have a country to hold a vote in 2012. That is why I have to support McCain. He, at least, will insure that there will be a vote for President in 2012. I am not so sure if Obama gets elected.
