Over the past few days, I’ve been feeling more and more fearful about the direction that our country is headed. The thing that really set me off is the recent report released by the Department of Homeland Security which basically labels anybody who disagrees with what the politicians are doing right now or hope to do in the not too distant future as a right-wing extremist that should be placed on a terrorist watch list. This may sound odd but I thought that it was OK to disagree with politicians in America. Apparently it’s not.
As I was listening to Glenn Beck yesterday on my way home from work, he started talking about this report and his words struck me to the very core. He was saying everything that I was feeling! Below are a few excerpts from the transcript of his monologue. (You can read the whole thing here.) I could not have even come close to saying it better myself.

So all of the votes have now been counted and we now have the first African-American president in the history of our country. While I’m proud of the fact that we’re not a bunch of racist haters like some would have us believe, I’m very concerned over having Barack Obama as Supreme Chancellor… I mean president.
As I was watching various news channels last night, and started coming to the realization that our country thinks that socialism is cool, I started trying to mentally prepare myself for the next four years. I keep trying to convince myself that the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate won’t be too liberal of a president. It’s not working. I know too much about history and I have too much knowledge of his policies.

After what seems like a million years, we finally get to vote for the people that will take it upon themselves to destroy our country. I’m sure that they don’t think that their policies will destroy our country – they’re doing what’s in their best interests, I mean the country’s best interests.
I plan on voting on my way into work. I’m actually still conflicted on whom I will be casting my ballot for. I don’t like what’s been going on with our government over the past few years so I’m reluctant to vote for any incumbents. I’ll probably end up voting for multiple third-party candidates but I know that doing so is just throwing my vote away. At least I can say though that I didn’t vote for “that guy”. I do know though that I’m not voting for Obama for president. I don’t like McCain but I dislike Obama even more.

I have to admit that I’m a huge Sarah Palin fan. Ever since I heard that she was going to sue over the decision to list the polar bear as endangered, I’ve been a fan.
When I heard that John McCain had decided to pick Governor Palin as his running mate, I was elated. Then I heard her acceptance speech. What’s more than elated? Whatever it is, that’s what I was. And then she spoke at the Republican National Convention last night.
I don’t know if it’s possible for me to be more impressed with this woman. She appears to be a true conservative that doesn’t like big government. She also says that we need to start domestic drilling which shows me that she has a grasp on the impending energy crisis that the country is facing. Add to all of that, she’s not from Washington. In fact, she’s about as far from outside of the beltway as I can imagine. I like that.

People who vote for Barack Obama because they want “change” will probably get change. That may not be a good thing though. Enjoy the music video for Barack Obama’s unofficial campaign theme song.
Is it propoganda if it’s true?

Recently I began noticing commercials that I don’t remember ever seeing in Utah. They are trying to sway my vote in the upcoming Democratic presidential primary election next week. Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are telling me that if I vote for them, they are going to change things in Washington. Republicans like John McCain are also saying that they’ll bring change.
Change can be good. It can also be bad though. If I go from being a free man to wearing a prison jumpsuit, that’s a change. It’s not a good change though. I never thought I’d say this, but I agree with both Hillary and Obama; things in Washington need to change. However, the changes that they are proposing, in my opinion, aren’t necessarily good. People are assuming that if major changes happen in this election cycle, those changes are going to be for the best. I strongly disagree.
