My Political Rant

I am really alarmed at the direction our country it heading. I am very worried about our president Barak Obama wanting to "reshape America" We have a crisis on our hands. Obama knows what that means, after all it was one of his advisors that said you never let a crisis go to waste. There has been a lot of talk lately of two periods in time the first is the great depression when Roosevelt was our president and the second was the economic downturn of the 80's when Reagan was the president. Both of these periods of time have things in common, most markebly the stock markets downturn. (I realize that I am oversimplifying things to make a point) The point that I want to make is that we see when we try to "reshape America" as Roosevelt did during the Great Depression with his New Deal, the consequence is a long period of depression and economic instablity. On the other hand when we return to principles of conservatism and capatilism we not only go through a period of shorter instablity but at the end we experience a long period of growth, development and prosperity. History does in fact repeat itself, do we really want the Great Deppression to repeat itself? Why are we trying to reshape America and try a new, new deal? Its so frustrating to see what is going on and see the leaders trying to turn away from proven methods to put forth their agendas. Agendas that will lead to the continuing of the economic downturn. I know that I have a very limited voice. I know that very few people will read this post. I know that it wont change anything but I have to vent my frustrations. I dont know how to change things, I dont know how to make my voice heard and honestly Im unwilling to go out on the streets and yell threw a megaphone my position. But this matters to me, conservatism matters to me, the principles of the constitution matter to me, capatilism matters to me and most of all America matters to me.

I'm with you,Sue. I'm wondering how we are going to continue to get student loans in the next few years. What if the gov. goes bankrupt and can no longer lend out money to med students. What would we do? I have no idea. We'd have a ton of debt with no degree to show for it. Also, what if he attempts to socialize medicine. What will that mean for Travis's career? What if Travis could get fired for refusing to preform and abortion. I don't know. Believe me, I have been nervously watching the news for some time now. I'm with ya.
