Taking on this blog and running all of these miles is a two-year long protest against our government, which is a last resort effort as I can find no other way to be heard when I ask the question so many of us would like to know, “Why does our government not obey the wishes of its people?” To seek a logical approach to why such an overwhelming majority of people is simply ignored by the leaders of their nation, I can only imagine that they have a plan, which does not include the opinions of the people they govern. And if that is the case, it is unconstitutional and it contradicts every purpose this country was intended to serve.
The Midterm Elections were a monumental victory but there is still a multitude of tasks yet to be done. America is losing its posture and hunching over like a tormented man beaten by no one but himself. Washington is behaving like children attempting to settle a schoolyard dispute. And the irony of all this circumstance is that our own president is the source of so much of our economic turmoil.
Socialization of health care, alone, has been a decade-old goal of liberal politicians and there is a reason it has only been discussed in the past and not actually acted upon. It doesn’t work. Europe is rioting right now because of big government and its control of industries that would be better left to free enterprise. Given the state of the economy, which Barack Obama has blatantly pointed out as being absolutely devastated by the actions of his predecessors, who in their right mind could make a decision to do something so radical, costly and risky as socializing health care at a time like this? It makes no sense. He naively promised America “Hope” and “Change” he could not deliver and if he hadn’t passed some of the radical legislation he did then the other twenty-something percent of people who strongly agree with his actions would be severely disappointed in his job as president, as well. Barack Obama’s ego and his legacy desired this health care bill and the indisputable majority of America wants nothing to do with it. If he has the power to glide freely against the grain of such an extensive American landscape within two years of his presidency, imagine what he will do to reform, or cripple, this country with another four-year term.

I look forward to reading your blog.... great research put into it. Today, on Veteran's Day, when so many fought and fight to preserve and protect our country, some work hard to destroy it. I love that you're doing your part to remind us what this country was founded on. Keep up the good work! I am very proud of you!
