So says Webster’s New World Dictionary

I bring this subject up for a very important reason. While, politically, there is nothing on which I can agree on with the Democrats, there is one thing I do agree with them on regarding this election. It’s when they say that this election will be the most consequential in most of our lifetimes. Now, I have said more than once, here, that I am far from thrilled with the fact that John McCain is my party’s presidential candidate. But having said that, by not voting for him, what exactly am I, or any of the rest of us going to be accomplishing. We must keep in mind what is at stake in this election and what the "consequences" of an Obama victory will most likely result in. Let’s say for the sake of argument, that all of us who are not crazy about McCain simply say the heck with it, I’m staying home this year. Ok, now let’s take a close look at what the "consequences" of that little tantrum are likely to be. First off, it would be a given that the Democrats would increase their numbers in both the House and the Senate, quite possibly to the point where they would have a filibuster proof majority. Add to that, Obama sitting in the White House with the distinct possibility of being able to appoint 2 or maybe even 3 Supreme Court justices.  After the dust has settle there'll we be having been willing accomplices in the assisting, as well as contributing to a complete Democrat take over of our government. Because all of a sudden in one swift stroke the Democrats will have effectively gained control of all three branches of our government. Are we really ready to accept that scenario? And will we be able to live with ourselves after having assisted them in their endeavor?

I cannot speak for anyone but myself but that scenario literally scares me to death. The whole concept of checks and balances that our Founding Fathers had the foresight to establish will simply be shoved to the side leaving the Democrats totally unimpeded and able to inflict untold and unimaginable damage onto this country. Take the time, just for a second, to go over in your mind every hair brained, costly, ridiculous scheme and/or concoction you’ve ever heard come out of the mouth of a Democrat, then picture it as a reality. Then see if you can figure out, with no way to stop them, just how long it will take the Democrats to implement and put into action each and every idea.

You think gas is expensive now? You had better hold onto your wallets! Because with the Democrats in complete control there will be no chance of any new drilling, any new refineries, any new nuclear plants, only the same old elitist rhetoric about alternative renewable wonder fuels, windfall profits taxes, suing OPEC, and any number of other stupid ideas that do nothing to produce one more drop of oil and nothing to lower the price of gas one cent. Some plan!

The democrats are determined to destroy, or to at least severely damage, this country through their agenda of the thoroughly discredited socialist form of government regarding the economy, national security, immigration and even our healthcare. They are driven to lower our standard of living as well as our standing in the world. They feel that the very idea of protecting the sovereignty of this country is something that should be relegated to the past and they wish us to move us ever closer to a world government complete with world taxes all to be dominated by a obviously dysfunctional United Nations that is totally hostile to the interests of the United States. As well, they are just as determined to shove down our throats the most destructive revamping of the best healthcare system in the world. And for what, to tighten their grip over our lives.

But without a doubt what is the most dangerous potential outcome of a complete Democrat takeover, is the suicidal scenario that would be their plan for the national security of this country. With the full implementation of the Obama Doctrine consisting of a complete retreat in the war on terror along with the advancement of the failed policies of appeasement, pacifism and ignorance all followed up by numerous empty, meaningless threats of retaliation, the future looks none too bright. Democrats have a vested interest in our losing in Iraq, a worsening economy, and even rising food and gas prices. They do their best to convince Americans that we’re back in 1929. The worse they can make things sound the more people they can get to vote for them, and oddly enough a lot times it seems to work.

So what it all comes down to is this.  Are we ready to face the "consequences" of an Obama and Democrat sweep come November? Personally, I am not! For the simple reason that John McCain on his worst day in office would be infinitely better as President than Obama would be on his best. John McCain is the only thing that stands between patriotic, rational thinking Americans, and the totally destructive agenda of today’s Democrat Party.
