When one lives on a river one learns to pay attention to
how the dams upstream are holding, because if the dams upstream fail, the
resulting deluge will be released and there is no way to stop it as it takes
out your life and home.
Below will be references to metaphorical political
dams intended to make the point that our society is literally falling apart
under Obama’s deluge of liberalism/progressivism.
The lesser political dams upstream can be related simply
to how our governmental authorities behave when laws are broken by the
government itself. An example could be
when the IRS singles out Obama’s opponents and denies Republicans the same tax
benefits common to liberals; or when we know the Secretary of State was
accepting large personal donations from foreign governments in exchange for
favorable State Department rulings; and when she illegally destroyed emails on
her illegal server to cover her criminal tracks. No one in the Obama administration will lift
a finger to punish these wrong-doings.
And how about the constant lying drumbeat from Democrats about the
Republican war on women, and the Republican efforts to deny the vote to black
citizens. Any honest person would admit
that this is just filthy talk, but liberals are not honest.
Then come the medium size political dams of liberals’
repeated attempts to deny Americans their second amendment right to own arms to
defend themselves; repeated attempts to force homosexual marriage down our
throats; the insistence that we accept the tens of thousands of illegal aliens
crossing our borders as merely being immigration reform; the unending EPA
regulations which are contrary to the enabling legislation Congress passed (but
no one seriously tries to stop them); the global warming brigade that seriously
suggests that warming deniers be judged to be insane and made criminals (when
common sense would tell anyone who cared to apply logic and their own senses that
the oceans are not rising and that a predicted rise of one degree in
temperature in fifty years is a good thing, not a bad one, because it would
lengthen the growing season slightly and provide more food).
Another medium political dam that is being torn down finds
the left attacking police forces across the country and leaving the population very
much exposed to crime as the police back off from the dangers of their job in
the face of public outrage and violence at their supposed excesses.
But the main political dam formerly holding back the
hordes who have been damaging the lesser dams has just failed us a second time:
the Supreme Court is all in on Obamacare and has used their own opinions,
instead of legal reasoning, to finally shove the Affordable Care Act down our
throats.
The political dams are breaking all along the river of
life in America, and when you consider that the federal government, which is
the primary wrecker of the dams that protect America from total destruction, is
broke and that the stock market is now riding a new bubble equal to that of
2008, we’re all in big trouble.
Most people, especially the young who grew up in an
era of plenty, have no idea where their liberties and their comfortable lives
come from. They have lived so well for
so long that they believe that air conditioners and iPods and markets packed
with food are the norm and simply the way life is, but their great grandparents
could tell them that living in the U.S. today is a miracle compared to past
times, and it could be lost in the blink of an eye if the traditional political
dams that protected our nation from excesses and subversives all fall down.
