Will of the People?

So, Prop 8 passed in California which defines marriage between a man and a woman. This is the 2nd time that Californians have voted to define marriage as one man and one woman. With the passage of Prop 8, many people have been marching in protest of Prop 8's passage. I believe it is ok to march and to express your opinions. However, for proponents of gay marriage to want to overturn the will of the people is ridiculously insane. The majority of the people have spoken. To undue the will of the people is to go against the electoral process.

If proponents of gay marriage succeed in getting same gender marriages legalized once again in California, it speaks to 4 serious consequences:
1) Disregard for the will of the people
2) Disrespect for the election process
3) Further disfranchise people about elections and government
4) Undermine the democratic process
This in itself is dangerous for the well being of this republic, even the United States of America. The U.S. will seize to be the United States if this occurs.

Suddenly Discouraged and Saddened

It's clear. We have a new President, even Barack Obama.
I am extremely discouraged to point that I want to leave the U.S.A. for at least 4 years...at least until his first term in office expires.

I am saddened because of the lack of foresight of the American people. Who is really to blame for the current conditions of our great country. President G.W. Bush, Republicann Party, Democratic Party, etc???

If anything, the American people should bear the burden of its own idiotic decision making. After all it was the American people who voted for a 2nd Bush term. Bush bears part of the blame for the Republican loss. It strayed away from true conservatism. It strayed from its core principles and played with the policies of the left.

On the other hand, Americans have become a nation with people who desire more with less personal accountability. Its people have become accustomed to more "things" and less on caring for others. It has become a nation with people filled with the attitude of "me" and the government to be the provider of "me." Its people appear to NOT fully comprehend what capitalism is meant to represent....work and more hard work.....

So, if the nation goes down the drain...we only have ourselves, even the American people to blame. I just hope we don't lose faith in this great establishment even that of the U.S.A. ---I hope I don't.

Ignorant and the Unlearned???

I am extremely afraid of an Obama Presidency. I am more afraid of what might end up being the legacy of this great country of ours with the "Left" taking over the policy decisions of this nation. Here are my fears:
1) Government being the dictator. With Obama's promises of green pastures for our every needs, government will take more power from the people. This is extremely dangerous.
2) Socialism - with the ideology of "sharing the wealth" and the notion that this will work is not only arrogantly insane and ridiculously short sighted. It does work. It has not worked for Cuba and North Korea and it sure as heck will not work for us. The Europeans have tried forms of it, but it only adds more burden to everyday Joes who are trying to make a living.
3) We will loose our choice to "decide" - What options do we have if the govt becomes our primary provider of ONE option.

We are a REPUBLIC and we are suppose to decide what is best not what the government feels is best for us. POWER to the PEOPLE.

With all these fears, I am afraid the insanely arrogant and the insanely unlearned might not be getting this message and will be deciding the future of this nation based on a couple of promises for salvation.

I sure hope that we don't end up paying for the arrogant and ignorant choices of the masses, even if it is a select number.
