January 20, 2009 (Inaugural Day)

What path will America take beginning January 20, 2009? Many, including this writer, forsee a path that will lead to more government intrusion into our lives and end in a socialist utopia where the individual is less regarded than an obedient group. I have watched the media coverage of Obama for the past two days beginning with his train ride from Philadelphia to Washington. Obama's arrival in Washington was much like a welcoming of a King to his court. The national media is a disgrace. My late father, a journalist, would not recognize today's media. He would curse them all. He would immediately recognize that our media has become a ship of socialist fools with an agenda. Instead of facts being presented, he would see misinformation being bounded about to promote a socialist agenda. America represents to me a land where individualism and productive work contribute to liberty and a sound economy. There are no guarantees in life....no guarantee of success. Our constitution gives us the right to "pursuit of happiness" and nowhere does it guarantee happiness. We are given the right to pursue our own lives free of dominion or forced confiscation from government. The Obama disciples will soon learn that they have voted for a man of no accomplishment or principle. They have voted for nothing more than a community organizer (group herder). Those who will ordain Obama as the "second coming" will soon realize that he does not believe in our sacred Constitution and will promote the chiselment of our Constitution into a different shape and content that would be foreign to the original writers some 230 years ago. Yes, depite all the celebration and shouting from the masses, reality is about to hit America broadside. The path we are about to take will be filled with despair, disillusionment and betrayal. There are many of us, 57 million in fact, who understand where this new path is going to take us. We brace for the future knowing that the wayward course at hand can be corrected if enough of our misinformed fellow citizens can find their common sense once more.
