Did We Really Ask For Change?

American’s spoke and said they wanted change. Yesterday Senator Barack Obama became President Elect Obama. Change is what America asked for and change is what we’ll get.

We’ve had the lowest unemployment rates in decades and the highest economic growth, But we want change. Somehow with the sub prime mortgage crisis, we have been able to overlook the last seven years of unprecedented prosperity.

We have not had an attack on our home land since September 11, 2001. Why? Because we fought back. We took the fight to the enemy and have kept it off our home land. We can now more easily track those who seek to destroy us. But we want change. I am sick and tired of hearing how we are violating the rights of the terrorist. I’m sure we’ll see an expanded “terrorist bill of rights” coming soon.

With a laundry list of change to come; higher taxes and punishing the successful, increased restrictions on energy production, more government requirements on employers, decreased public access to fire arms, increased government subsidies - encouraging more of the population to become less productive, a plan to sit down and talk to our enemies despite the fact they have already stated their intentions, limiting voices with views opposing the government under the guise of fairness, and it goes on and on, I'd say change is in store.

Does anyone find it interesting that parties and celebrations were held all over Europe at the announcement of Obama’s win? Does he want to be the world’s President or ours? .

America has a value system and foundation that has set it apart from the rest of the world. Our laundry list of change seems to be patterned after socialist European nations. Is this really the change we want?

Our freedom and all that makes America great must be protected. My concern is once we start down this road we probably will never find our way back. The America our forefathers established and the way of life most American’s cherish, once abandoned will never again be known. That most certainly will be change.
