Once upon a time, every child had the same general background. Two parents, reading books with Dick and Jane, and stories that weren’t just for small segments of the population, but for everyone. Children back then learned the fables of “The Ant and the Grasshopper” or the story of “The Little Red Hen.” They were stories designed to teach values. Now we have stories from all over that often teach nothing more than distraction and the history of people who have little to do with our nation. This failure has led to generations of children who do not know how to strive or succeed because it has never been expected of them. They are sheltered well into their 30′s by parents who cushion every step and soften every blow. These are the Obama voters. They think such things as universal health care is a magical fiat that can be done at will. They don’t look at the bigger picture of rationing, less critical high cost solutions or access to the depth of care we can now get. Instead they have this utopian view of America as the epitome of socialism, in the best views of George Soros and his friends at Moveon.org. If there ever was a villain, it is he. Down the road, as this generation realizes its folly, I predict there will be upheaval. While presidents such as Kennedy and Clinton rode into town on waves of personal charm, it takes more than charm to run a nation. I believe once the higher taxes and failure of businesses to thrive hits these voters in the pocketbook, we will see some shifts back to a more moderate representation. Or at least that is what I hope. Because right now all three parts of government are being run by liberals that have embraced European style Green party platforms-to our detriment.
