I think what we are seeing now is the natural result of a whole generation coming of age who have never known want and who have never been through difficult economic times. The last real disastrous presidency was Carter’s. If a person doesn’t become politically aware until they are twenty or so then there are a LOT of people out there who have no memory of what happens when you have a leftwing government in power. They are so busy thinking up ways to spend other people’s money on non-starters like sub-prime loans and solar panels that they can’t conceive of the fact that resources are finite and the market isn’t robust enough a vessel to sail on forever no matter how many barnacles they attach to its hull.

These same people have also never had any forceful advocates or role models on the right to look up to like a Reagan and they have been programmed by the media 24/7 to look to the government for the solutions to all of their problems. They have no concept of liberty or of a free market. They are not educated in the basics of the economic and social theories on which their country is founded even though many have advanced degrees from supposedly prestigious institutions. How could such bad things happen to THEM! They are Ivy Leaguers who hold all of the fashionable views. Shouldn’t that be enough to protect them from want?

We are going to have to learn a whole lot of lessons all over again the hard way. If we are lucky, we will avoid the type of market interference that caused and extended the Great Depression. If we are not, we will end up with socialized healthcare, with the government buying everyone’s mortgages and with our children forced into Obama’s involuntary servitude program of community service. All of this in a never ending and fruitless attempt to right the last domino that fell by pushing three more over.

There is currently NO ONE of any stature or with any power advocating for freedom from the tyranny that is coming. McCain might nominate better judges but can anyone truthfully say he will be better on any of the economic issues?

The last thing I would add is this. Obama is going to regret ever running for president if he wins. He has accomplished nothing and stood for nothing his entire life. He fails to vote on many issues and even doesn’t require his committee to meet. He is lazy and effete and entitled just like the generation that produced him (my generation). The people whom he surrounds himself with, and receives advice from, are of uniformly low intellect and character and he will fail when pressed because deep down he is… nothing.
