I Am Mad! [Reader Post]

At a McCain-Palin rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin on Oct. 9th, 2008, one of the town hall participants was given a microphone. With microphone in hand, the man loudly proclaimed: “I am mad!”. He then went on to explain that it was not the economy that was provoking his anger, but rather the socialists such as Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and the other “hooligans” who were taking over our country. He then challenged both Senator McCain and Governor Palin to fight on our behalf and to “go get them!”, essentially urging them to get mad too!

Sometimes it takes simple passionate language to communicate our deepest needs and our most profound desires. What this gentleman in Wisconsin voiced was the collective discontent of millions of Americans who deplore what they are seeing done to her once proud institutions by a ruthless group of socialist politicians, who are intent upon nationalizing our industries, such as banking, housing, health care, transportation, energy, education, ad infinitum and thereby ever expanding and concentrating the power of the federal government to govern our lives down to the minutest detail. And they want to be the ones with total control over all of our lives. Socialists only want socialism when they think they will be the ones in charge, otherwise they prefer democracy. In other words, socialists would prefer to have total control, but absent that, they will settle for partial control, until such time as they can seize and maintain total power.

Now for the first time in the nation’s history, there is a very real chance that the socialists, and by extension the communists too, will have total control over the country’s Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of government. Wielding this level of power they will be able to pass whatever legislation they see fit. So they will nationalize our industries; remember Maxine Water’s statement on May 22, 2008 at the Congressional hearing on the energy crisis: “This liberal will be all about socializing… uh… uh… will be about basically taking over…and the government running all of your companies”. She was not kidding. That is exactly what they have in mind. Incidentally, Rep. Maxine Waters was also a big supporter and beneficiary of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac whose unregulated lending practices and unchecked avarice and greed led to the collapse of the Housing industry, which devastated the Banking industry, as well the largest insurance carrier in the world, AIG, and plunged our economy into a deep recession.

So welcome, comrades! For those who have been thus far asleep at the switch, the communist revolution in America has been stealthily progressing, not with a bang, but a whimper, behind the scenes, under cover of darkness, by legislative and judicial fiat. And now their seditious candidate has emerged from the under the shadow of ACORN and the Chicago Political Machine, and his name is Barack Obama, whose friends, associates, and influences form a impressive phalanx of racists, abortionists, communists, socialists, islamacists, radical environmentalists and just plain crooks. Just about every group trying to undermine the country and destroy her foundations have found a willing ally in Barack Obama. He is the savior of the left, their very own Obamassiah.

So it is easy to understand the anger and frustration of those of us who have spent our lives trying to build up and protect this great country from the dark forces and alien ideologies of those who would destroy it, only to find the values and institutions of the greatest nation on earth being systematically annihilated by those very people who have sworn to “support and defend the Constitution”, yet at the same time doing everything within their power to undermine it. Am I mad? You bet I am mad, and getting madder by the day!
