This Time Next Year

Here it is the day before Turkey day and I keep wondering what is it going to be like next year. Are we going to be facing 4 years with Hillary Clinton as president, or 4 years of a liberal Republican president (which is nearly as bad) or will the people of the U.S. get off their butts and vote for someone like Fred Thompson, or Duncan Hunter or Tom Tancredo. Someone who represents the "get government off our backs" everyday average American? Will we get a socialist like Hillary who wants to tell us who our doctor will be, when we can see a doctor, and where our money will go? Will we get a liberal Republican like Rudy who thinks it is okay to slaughter our unborn children for the sake of women's liberation (some kind of woman you have to be to kill your own child) and thinks that the government has the right to disarm its people, or will we vote for someone like Fred who thinks that you should only become a citizen if you follow the laws, who thinks that an unborn child is a living breathing person, who thinks that Americans can accomplish anything that they set their minds to, who loves our country and our military. Will we get a Fred? I sure hope so, because we are very quickly headed towards losing our freedoms. We take for granted that we will always get to make the decision of what we do with our money, who we see when we are sick, whether we buy a gun to protect ourselves or not. If we don't wake up and start taking our obligations seriously about voting for the best qualified candidates, rather than for the one who promises to give us the most (those are the ones who want to take the most from us) then we will soon find America to be the land of the enslaved and impoverished. We have a choice, but I don't know if we realize the precipice we are sitting on. Ask anyone on medicaid how hard it is to get in to see a dentist or a doctor. That is what the entire country is facing with a Hillary presidency or even a Democrat presidency. Research what it is like in Canada where the waiting lines are so long that Canadians come to America for treatment, or Britain where they pull out their own teeth because it takes so long to get in to a dentist. Do we want this for America? Do we want anyone in the Presidency from the party that has been trying to undermine everything our troops have been doing in Iraq. Who, while reports have been coming in repeatedly in the last few months of success in Iraq, have withheld funding until the President sets a timetable for withdrawal? Do we want these people in charge of our country? Come on America, get up and get involved. Don't vote for someone because you are told to, research where they stand, how they have voted in the past, what they are promising you. But for God's sake, VOTE. You owe it to your children to leave America as good as, if not better than, you found it. Our freedoms are only ours as long as we are willing to defend them. Most people enslaved by their governments were enslaved slowly without noticing the slow erosion of their rights. It is happening here. America has always defended and fought for those who were enslaved by their governments and foreign invaders, but who will save us when it is our government that enslaves us?
