Mandate for Change… Leaves America vulnerable
“It is not a mandate for a party or ideology but a mandate for change,” said Senate Majority leader Harry Reid of Nevada.
Said Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California: “Tonight the American people have called for a new direction. They have called for change in America.”
Well, we have a new President-elect. The platform by which this President will take a leadership position of the most powerful nation in the world, is Change. Change. Just Change. Change from what? Change to what? Pish posh. The Democrats seem to be telling us not to get caught up in the details. You hate the current policies. We’ll change them. Everything will get better. Trust us.
America is now vulnerable to be dragged into any half-baked policy decisions our Change Agents want to set. (I’ve decided to stop calling them leaders, I’m calling them “Change Agents”.) Capitalism? We can change that. Military superiority? We can change that. World Democratic leadership? We can change that. Healthcare? Low taxes? Family Values? Definition of marriage? Constitutional limitations of the federal government? “We the People” in direct oposition to centralized socialist power.
It’s all up for grabs now. It can all be changed, because that’s apparently what America wants. Unspecified, indeterminate, unbounded Change. It’s frightening.
I’m really disappointed in the direction we the people are allowing this country to head.
A few points to ponder:
In the truest sense, freedom cannot be bestowed; it must be achieved. ~Franklin D. Roosevelt
Men fight for freedom, then they begin to accumulate laws to take it away from themselves.
Liberty has never come from the government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. ~Woodrow Wilson
If you DON’T believe in God, then you’ll believe in anything.
A brother [monk] said to an old man, “I see no warfare in my heart.” [Which is the indicator of healthy spiritual struggle with the influences of the world.] The old man said to him, “You are a building open on all sides, and whoever wishes can pass through you and you are unaware of it. If you have a door, you should shut it, and not allow evil thoughts to enter through it; for then you will see them standing outside, banging on the door, and attacking you.”
