A New Era of…
Hope? Change? The same imperialism and big government politics? Whatever it ends up being, it’s far too early to tell. That doesn’t seem to stop people from making their predictions. If the majority is right, Obamessiah’s presidency will end up representing Christ’s second coming. I’m not exactly on that band-wagon.
I’m not entirely sure what I think is going to happen. What I do know is that whatever these Obamaniacs expect from the Messiah, they’re not going to get in its entirety. There’s just no possible way that Obama can deliver what people want him to achieve in two terms, let alone one term. It’s just not going to happen, and I am glad that it won’t.
I, absolutely, hate the campaigning for community service. It’s not that I hate community service. In fact, I love the idea of it. People working together to create a better society. However, I hate it being done under the banner of a Marxist attitude. I do have a slight optimism when it comes to the community service, though. I have hopes that the attitude changes from a Socialist to a liberty-driven attitude. Perhaps people will see that it’s not the government that can make the biggest impact, but the people themselves. It could potentially fuel the drive for privatization. Yeah, it’s a long shot, but it’s one of the few things I’m actually optimistic about, so don’t ruin it for me!
I chose to wear my ‘Obamunism’ t-shirt today. It’s not so much for making a statement against Obama as it is making a statement against the whole Obamessiah worship of Obama and this inauguration day. Obama is just the 44th man to take his place at the helm of the federal government. This inauguration is no more special than the ones preceding it. Yes, this inauguration comes with the “hope” of a new era of progressive politics, but all of this progress still has yet to be seen. All we have is the word of a politician. Call me crazy, but I just can’t see any justification on believing a politician simply on his words.
Well, I needed to post a new blog, so there it is. I know it’s a bit rambly, and it jumps from subject to subject with no sense of direction. I’m tired, I’m chatting with a friend, and I didn’t really think this through prior to opening up Windows Live Writer (I’m trying this out instead of logging into WP every time just to post). I guess my parting words for this entry is that though I’m not a big fan of Obama’s politics, I do wish him luck, and as always, I want the best for my country and individual liberty. I’m willing to be proven wrong for the sake of prosperity, as long as that prosperity isn’t the result of others being screwed over. May we be able to look back in 4 years and say that America did itself some good by electing Obama.

My heart kinda jumped (in joy) when I read the part about the "drive towards privatization."
But somehow, that's not going to happen is it? The cronies in the White House now are proposing mandatory 3 month basic training service for people between the ages of 18-25. I don't know if they will actually follow thru with that proposal but shows their agenda somewhat right?
I mean how nightmarish is that situation? Obama is nothing but a deceiver. He has lied up to his teeth. Either he is lying actively or is just a good honest pawn actually trying to do something good (like JFK) for Americans. Only time will tell.
And though I too try to remain optimistic about community service, I feel it will go towards the Marx route as people will never ask "WHY" are they doing this and for "WHAT." They will, like obedient cattle, do anything the government tells them without giving a second thought as long as their jobs, their favorite porn site, and their favorite football teams are still around.
