President Obama Is Not George Bush

by Ron Spangler

A lot of people are accusing President Obama of acting like President Bush in Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan. President Obama is no George Bush. With the criticism that he is following in President Bush's path, President Obama has worked overtime to overturn everything President Bush achieved.

While the Bush haters and Democrat Party supporters will never agree, the war in Iraq is basically over and a victory for the U S has been achieved. There is a stable and friendly government in control and Iraq is on the path of becoming a form of a Democratic State the Mideast.

President Obama may try to use the surge in Iraq as a battle plan for Afghanistan but the Democrats and Far Left will never allow this to happen. With the release of the secret report saying we need to increase our forces by 30-40 thousand troops or risk failure in Afghanistan, Obama felt resistance and capitulated. Instead of showing support for the Commander on the ground and the troops already in Afghanistan, Obama decided to decide later. This is not the actions of a strong Commander In Chief.

Troops in combat cannot afford to wait for reinforcements while the Commander tests the political climate before making his decision. This is what leads to unnecessary high casualty rates and losing the war. The difference between Bush and Obama is Bush was willing to lose the Presidency and win the war where it is unclear if President Obama is willing to do the same. When times were dark in Iraq and there was a call for more troops, George Bush stood firm and took on the critics that said the war was lost. Bush listened to his Commanders on the ground and sent more troops. Now the situation in Afghanistan is looking very similar and the Commanders are calling for more troops. Obama unlike Bush has decided to study the matter basically sending the message that he doesn't trust Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal's assessment of the situation.

This is beginning to look like supporting the troops is nothing more than lip service from the Democrats and President Obama. A true leader will not leave his military undermanned in a combat situation while he ponders the political question of sending in reinforcement. A poorly manned Army is a Army doomed to high casualties. While the enemy is increasing their manpower, we are wearing ours out. There is no doubt we have the best military in the world and they can win their battles, the question is for how long. In combat everyone gets tired after a while and with little hope of support or reinforcement when needed moral will eventually disappear. When moral is lost, hope will be lost and the war will be lost

President Obama declared Afghanistan to be his war. He said before he was elected that Afghanistan was where we should be fighting not Iraq. He told us he had a strategy for winning in Afghanistan. The troops on the ground need help, it is time to act on his strategy and support the troops on the ground in Afghanistan.

The troops on the battlefield will not die if Health Care Reform is not passed by Jan 2010. There may be unnecessary deaths on the field if a decision to reinforce them is delayed until 2010. I am certain this President is stalling for time and letting the situation deteriorate to the point that he can convince the public to reinstate the draft. After all, from what I have seen from this President nothing will surprise me. He has already said "We will win in the Senate like we won in the House and I will sign this Bill." He was referring to the Health Care Bill. With the overwhelming number of Americans against his plan it is clear he doesn't care what we say or think. After he signs his bill he will focus his attention on Afghanistan and seeing he cannot take the troops from Iraq, he will look to the draft for new troops.

This will be a losing strategy. By the time the system is fought over politically and eventually reinstated, it could be too late. Training new troops for the rigors of Afghanistan will take months if not years. Like we did in Vietnam, we could rush troops through training and witness high casualties but I find it hard to believe the American people will stand for it. Americans have almost reached the end of their tolerance level with this President and Congress. If he allows Afghanistan to get completely out of control because he wants to study the situation people will be marching on Washington by the hundreds of thousands. Creating another crisis so the messiah can come to the rescue, this time in Afghanistan, could cost thousands of American lives.

Border Patrol Stories We Never Hear

by Ron Spangler

It seems everyone has a theory on what it is like being a U S Border Patrol Agent. Some people erroneously think the Agents are there to simply harass American citizens at check points along our southern interstates. Some think they are there just to harass poor illegal immigrants that are simply trying to enter the U S in order to provide a better life for their families. Both scenarios are wrong. Their mission like all law enforcement missions is complex.

Their real mission is to stop terrorist wishing to cross into America, stop drugs and illegal contraband like weapons from entering or leaving America, stop illegal entry across the border from any country, and assist anyone in need of medical services legal or not.

One story you will never hear or see on the national news gives just a glimmer of what Border Patrol Agents see on a daily basis.

The Yuma Sector in Arizona covers a very large area of our southern border. Part of the responsibility of this sector is setting up a check point manned by agents from the Wellton area. The temperature during the August-September period ranges between 110-130 degrees. It is a hot dangerous and desolate environment to travel and work in.

It was on a day like this that an elderly gentleman traveling east in a pickup truck pulling a homemade trailer passed through the check point. After answering the standard questions of the agent the gentleman proceeded on his way. A few minutes later the agent spotted an individual walking down the middle of the interstate coming from the east heading west toward the check point. The agent informed the other agents and proceeded to walk down the interstate to find out why the gentleman was walking down the middle of the interstate.

After approaching the individual it was obvious the man was distressed and was unsure of his surroundings. The agent escorted him off the interstate and during the questioning found out the man was worried about his wife. The agent escorted the man back to the check point and after getting him under some shade and giving him the agent's personal water supply, the agent discovered the man's wife may be in trouble herself.

The man explained his wife was following him from California in a van that the couple had been having trouble with ever since they started their trip. In an extremely agitated way, the man described how the vehicle was acting and drawing on his own personal experience the young agent told him what could be the problem. By talking to the man and explaining while the agents could not work on his vehicle he could send someone back down the road looking for his wife. Being the junior agent on the scene he knew he could not 'order' any agent that was present to go look for the woman. However he knew the agents very well.

After a few minutes a senior agent came over and the junior agent explained the situation. The junior agent told the senior agent that he would go look for the woman. The senior agent said since the junior agent had been able to gain the confidence of the gentleman it would be best if he went to look for the lady and let the junior agent continue to provide assistance to the elderly man.

While the senior agent was looking for the wife the junior agent continued his conversation with the husband. During this time he found out the wife was a recently released cancer patient from a California hospital and was still on medication. The junior agent radioed this information to the senior agent in case they needed to intensify the search or may need medical help. Hearing this the senior agent intensified his search and found the wife slowly traveling along the shoulder of the interstate. The agent approached the wife and after finding her extremely distraught and scared, tried to calm her down. He explained everything that was going on and told her they were there to help her and her husband.

The agent followed the wife to the check point keeping the other traffic away from their vehicles. After making it to the check point where the two were reunited the agents proceeded to supply water and comfort for the couple until both were calm and able to proceed on their way. With help from the Wellton agents the couple were able to proceed to the next town where they received assistance for their crippled vehicle and eventually made it home.

Nothing was written about this incident, it was never reported. During the daily routine of Border Patrol Agents things like this are a common occurrence. The couple involved were extremely grateful to the agents for everything they did and will hopefully have a whole knew attitude toward the U S Border Patrol.

Israel On Obama Abandon List

by Ron Spangler

Will Israel be next on the list of friends President Obama will abandon? This President is famous for throwing people and allies under the bus if it is politically or personally beneficial to Barack Obama.

The list of prior friends and supporters is too long to print in one article. The recent list of allies is much shorter, they are notably Poland, Czechoslovakia, Georgia and to some extent Israel. Only time will tell who or how many more will join these four under the wheels of the notorious Obamabus of losers.

It would be funny if it wasn't so dangerous. The world around us is heading for disaster and destruction and it seems that is just what this President is waiting for. Will he be the 2nd coming or the great Messiah that saves and reshapes the world after it all comes crumbling down? This seems to be what is in President Obama's mind.


Final Conflict-The Last American Journal of Eddie Johnson published in 2007 details the events facing us in the future. While it is a book of fiction it details terrorist attacks during 2010 on cities from New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago to the oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico. It also goes into detail on how a corrupt power crazed female president let her emotions get the best of her and betrayed our friends and allies around the world.

Behind the scene deals with foreign countries leads her to turning her back on Taiwan, Israel, Iraq, South Korea, and most of our Eastern European friends. As the Afghanistan war escalates she reinstates the draft. With public opinion dropping in the U S she reinstates the full measures of the Insurrection Act and Fairness Doctrine to take control of every city and town in the country. She creates a National Police Force to control dissent and opposition.

Like I said the book is fiction but every place is real and most of the people are based upon real people. The events are fictional but the situations leading up to the events seem to be taking place now. Like the 1st American woman president in the book, the 2008 election was a historical election for America. Also like in the book we are experiencing record high unemployment, a failed economy, record high foreclosures and growing discontent and anger toward the President and Congress.

If President Obama continues down the road he is traveling on his Obamabus of losers, he will surely run into a dead end. The crash will be devastating for the world and this time a recovery may be beyond anything we can foresee.

Obama Foreign Policy Retreat Plan

by Ron Spangler

The message from President Obama to Russia, Iran and Eastern Europe seems to be "Sorry, we don't want to anger anyone so if you confront us we will retreat."

By doing a complete 180 degree reversal of President Bush and Secretary Gates' previous agreement with NATO allies in East Europe he is demonstrating his weakness in foreign policy.

Why is Secretary Gates siding with President Obama and scrapping his previous position? Secretary Gates likes his job. He has seen how easy it is for President Obama to throw someone under the bus and abandon them.

President Obama has a long history of abandoning friends when confronted by his opposition. Unfortunately America's allies are finding out first hand how easy it is for America under this President to abandon them.

It is no longer just a small minority in America that believes President Obama is leading America down the path of Socialism. With his warming up to Putin, Chavez, Castro, Kim Jong-IL and Ahmadinejad he is sending them the message that he is a weak and naive adversary that will retreat if threatened. This is not new. They have studied everything Obama has said or done ever since he first appeared in the public view. They believe history is repeating itself like the period after WWI that led to WWII. Most of the leaders around the world didn't see Germany as a threat and tried to placate Hitler when he gained control and started threatening his neighbors. Everyone turned a blind eye to Japan as they gained more and more control in the Pacific. While most of the western world was tired of war they were really just naive and showing weakness that emboldened Hitler and Japan.

To many around the world it is no longer a myth that President Obama is doing everything in his power to conquer and divide Americans. Many believe he is doing it to better position himself so he can gain the power he needs to transform America from a capitalist to a Socialist state. People are beginning to believe the health crisis is nothing but a contrived crisis to take peoples' eyes off what he is really doing. With his secret little czar government acting behind closed doors he is consolidating more and more power and eventually the Congress will be powerless to stop him.

In the book Final Conflict-The Last American Journal of Eddie Johnson written in 2006 and published in 2007, many of the events that take place during the period covered in the book have started to take place now. The economy has failed, unemployment has reached record levels, descent and public outcry against the government has risen, homelessness has risen, threats from other countries has increased, and the war in Afghanistan is escalating.

Future events in the book are:

North Korea and Iran will increase their areas of influence, Chavez in Venezuela will join with Russia, Cuba and Iran to force America out of Eastern Europe.

Putin will seize complete control in Russia by combining the Presidency and Prime Minister into another Chairmanship resurrecting the Soviet Union.

Iran and North Korea with backing from Russia will join together to become nuclear powers.

Due to another oil crisis caused by the unrest in the Middle East and Chavez shutting off supplies to America, there will be so much economic devastation that the American President will over react and reinstate the insurrection act and a National Police Force to stop all of the public protest and violence taking place in our cities.

All of the events in the book stem from a President that seeks more power and shows signs of weakness in foreign policy matters. If the events covered in this book continue to become a reality then the future for not just America but the rest of the world is bleak at best.

Obama Agrees With Joe Wilson

by Ron Spangler

Has Obama decided to move to the right of center and leave the left behind? After the outcry over whether or not illegals would in fact be covered under H. R. 3200, the Senate Committee and Obama agreed to add a enforcement provision restricting illegals from participating.

How will the Far Left Democrats react is a big question. Once the bill is signed into law with this provision will the ACLU file a lawsuit claiming discrimination and if so will the Supreme Court uphold their claim?

Obama has also endorsed a provision making it mandatory that every American, that the government decides can afford it, purchases some type of health insurance. Will this provision end up in the Supreme Court and be struck down as unconstitutional?

These are questions that are leading Constitutional experts to believe ObamaCare may be in serious trouble.

Critics and media analyst of President Obama have blamed him for not explaining the details of his plan to the American people. Starting with his address before Congress and his constant media blitz he has not succeeded in changing many minds. Now he is promising more changes to satisfy the right. This will surely anger the left.

With a crack developing in the Democratic party over the Afghanistan war and the large crack in the party over Heath care, will any reform be enough to truly bring down the cost in health care or help to put people back to work?

Continuing on with his doggedly unwavering determination to change America President Obama is splitting the country farther and farther apart. He may succeed in forcing some type of Health Care Reform through but the question will be at what cost to America.

March On D C Obama Leaves Town

by Ron Spangler

Wonder why President Obama is losing support around the country, maybe it's his refusal to listen to the American people.

His Healthcare plan is bombing with the American people because like it or not Joe Wilson was right. In his speech President Obama said savings from Medicare will pay for most of his plan. Americans know this is not true but because he is the President we are not allowed to call it a lie. Medicare takes in on average $300 billion a year, they spend $400+ billion a year. How in the world can you save money in a program that is already running in the red.

H.R. 3200 says illegals will not be allowed to participate in a public insurance option, however there is no mechanism to prevent anyone from enrolling if they meet the financial restrictions. Citizenship simply will not be questioned upon their application for enrollment. Needless to say, if the question does arise there will be no requirement for verification of citizenship.

The president said it was a lie to say illegals would be covered by the public option, oh really Mr. President?

Sept 12, 2009 it is expected that 30+ thousand Americans will march on Washington D. C. hoping the President and Congress will take notice and listen to their demands.
President Obama has chosen to leave town and pretend nothing is going on in D. C. Is it any wonder people cannot believe or trust this President.

The foundation of the American Republic is the right of every American to a Redress Their Grievances with their government. Americans expect and demand their government responds to their grievances. Ignoring the people will not improve President Obama's approval but will succeed in tearing America apart.

Older Americans remember when Khrushchev said:

"We can’t expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism. We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within”.

President Obama seems to believe Khrushchev was right and the American people would idly stand by and allow it to happen. Ignoring the American voice and pretending the American people don't care will only lead to civil unrest that will not destroy America but will destroy this President and the Democrat Party.

There is a quiet civil anti-government revolution that is beginning to take shape in this government. If Congress and President Obama continue to pretend it doesn't exist then the are more naive and power crazed than anyone could ever imagine.

The mad spending in Washington has awakened the American people and they are sick and tired it. With Obamacare being forced down our throats and escalation of Obama's War in Afghanistan, another 30-40 thousand additional troops by 2010, America is bankrupt. The true number of unemployed in America is higher than anytime since the Great Depression and Americans that are working are not spending for fear of what may come in the very near future. President Obama is doing nothing but running around the country giving campaign speeches promising everything to everyone.

Like the Emperor With No Clothes, we are seeing Obama with no leadership or answers. He is wandering the Globe in his own state of reality refusing to listen to anyone that does not agree with him. He is like a drug addict that is in a constant state of denial. He was so caught up in the media hype during the campaign that he still believes he is the most admired and trusted person on earth. He really believes he knows best and everyone that doesn't agree are just redneck illiterate nobodies.

I am certain the media will spin the march on Washington into something of little importance while they portray President Obama's speech in Minnesota as another glorious occasion. This will only add to the anger people are feeling toward this Administration, Congress and some of the Media networks.

Obama's Afghanistan War

by Ron Spangler

President Obama has accepted responsibility for Afghanistan and is now beginning to realize a fraction of the reality of being Commander In Chief when your country is at war.

He is finding out just how easy it is to sit back and throw out theories on how to fight a war. He is beginning to feel the pressure from knowing that the decisions he makes will determine how the war ends. Will it be a real victory in Afghanistan or like so many other nations have found out, a loosing venture.

It is a well documented fact that no nation or leader has ever conquered the terrain and tribal areas of Afghanistan. History is full of attempts from Alexander the Great to the Soviet Union, but all have failed.

If you study warfare and how campaigns have been won, a few things stand out amongst the most successful leaders.

They choose the time and place to fight their battles carefully.

They identify, study, and get to know their enemies strength and weakness.

They study the history and all the past battles their enemies have fought.

They study the terrain and environment where their troops must fight.

They prepare for battle by winning the people of the area over to their side.

They make certain they have the support of their own people to fight a long and costly war.

They define for their military and people at home exactly what victory will look like.

They find determined and experienced military leaders to fight the war and they do not second guess or try to run the battle from the White House.

They understand that wars and battles are fluid and the situation can change at any time.

Will President Obama be successful in Afghanistan where everyone else has failed? If the far left base of his party has anything to do with it he will fail. Already there is grumblings within the Democrat Party for getting out of Afghanistan now. With the news that there may be a call from commanders on the ground for an additional 30 to 40 thousand troops, opposition in the Congress by Democrats has been loud and clear.

During his time as Senator, President Obama had the luxury of being able to second guess President Bush about Iraq. Senator Obama didn't understand one of the first rules in warfare, pick your time and place to fight. President Bush knew from history fighting a Muslim supported Al Qaeda in their own mountainous terrain would be costly in American lives and the outcome could not be predicted. He also knew America's military had very good experience fighting in the deserts and cities around Iraq. Bush hoped that going into Iraq would draw Bin Laden into Iraq and out of Afghanistan. He counted on Iraqis to be grateful for ousting Hussein and thought they would join in the fight against Al Qaeda. Unfortunately everything didn't work out. Al Qaeda did send fighters to Iraq and it did quiet down in Afghanistan. Bin Laden even said Iraq was the central war for the Middle East.

Iraq has settled down after a large number of Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda supporters have been killed. They misread the Iraqi people and the people finally turned against them. Iraqi's began to support the Iraqi military and our military. When President Bush supported Gen Petraeus' call for the surge it was over for Al Qaeda and the insurgency.

Can President Obama completely pull out of Iraq and send our forces to Afghanistan, No. This would not be wise for two reasons. The biggest problem is Iran. If we pull out too soon Iran will move on Iraq. They are still creating problems by sending military arms into Iraq trying to keep the insurgency alive. If we are not there Iraq will have no choice but to fight another war with Iran or succumb to being a puppet state to Iran. The other problem is the American people will not stand for our military to leave Iraq only to go into Afghanistan. The American people will not stand for higher casualties in a poor country like Afghanistan. If the media starts showing a large number of American Flag draped caskets coming from Afghanistan President Obama will find himself in the same position as President Bush.

Back to the question, Can Obama win his war? Only time and the definition of victory in Afghanistan will tell. If the American people are willing to stay for another 10 years and rebuild the roads, schools, government buildings and businesses while our military kills off all of the Taliban and Al Qaeda insurgence, then maybe. If we are willing to sacrifice up to 30 thousand American lives over that 10 year period, maybe. If however victory will be defined by killing Bin Laden or our leaving Afghanistan upon his death, then Obama will loose his war. If this happens Afghanistan will revert back to a Taliban state with thousands upon thousands of Afghans killed for supporting American or NATO forces. Iran will most likely try to influence whatever government that forms in Afghanistan and it will be a haven for America hating terrorist.

It is clear that only a few friends will help in the fight that is undoubtedly going to become more costly in lives and treasure. Most NATO forces will not fight so it will be left up to us and a small number of friends to take the fight to the Taliban and whats left of Al Qaeda. By the summer of 2010 President Obama will know whether he will win or loose his war. If American casualties increase and Americans continue to turn against President Obama's policies at home and abroad, he will loose his war.

President Obama has declared Afghanistan to be his war and if we win or loose it will be his legacy. Time for blaming the previous administration is over. This is not a game played by kids on the computer, it is real life and people will die from the decisions President Obama makes. We can only hope they are the right decisions.

In CNN We Trust ?

by Ron Spangler

While we were watching today's memorial events paying tribute to the fallen heroes and victims of Sept 11,2001, CNN interrupted with a completely bogus news alert. In their zeal to be the 1st with reporting breaking news they managed to create a national scare involving police, FBI, and the FAA.

If you listen to the audio that the CNN reporters were listening to it should have been clear this could not be real. In the audio conversation you can hear one of the Coast Guard simulating shots being fired by saying "bang, bang, bang." Remember when kids played cops and robbers or for older people cowboys and Indians? Our guns were our voices shouting bang, bang, bang I got you.

CNN is blaming the Coast Guard and President Obama supporters have supported CNN all day. However this evening after Homeland Security Director Napolitano called for an investigation of the Coast Guard's actions, Fox News reported a White House spokesman said the White House stands behind the Coast Guard.

Does this mean President Obama has thrown CNN under the bus with all of his other one time supporters?

Meanwhile CNN is spinning the ACORN scandal for all its worth. After refusing to air anything on the Baltimore employees trying to help cover up a would be child prostitute business that was fortunately a scam, they finally covered it by reminding everyone that the 'under cover reporter' was another conservative activist that had his own agenda to air.

Later on after Fox News released a second tape this time in Washington D. C. Wolf Blitzer had the same CNN reporter on spinning the story again. At the end of the spin she reported the D. C. tape and informed the public that the employees had been fired.

So now the "Most Trusted Name In News" blames the Coast Guard for not telling CNN they are going to do their job and practice what they will do in case a suspicious boat refuses to follow the orders of the Coast Guard. They also blame the conservative activist for ACORN employees being willing to participate in child prostitution by not reporting the pimp and prostitute to the police.

At the end of Wolf Blitzer's reporting one of the reporters had advice for today's politicians and associations like ACORN. Paraphrase, 'In today's internet environment with everyone having a camera and Youtube, if you are with someone outside or inside that you don't know, be very careful what you say.'

Good advice CNN, we really must protect the crooked politicians, pimps, and child prostitution rings from those bad conservatives with a hidden agenda.

The Most Trusted Name In News, Really ?

Wilson Who Is Lying

by Ron Spangler

After Representative Wilson from South Carolina shouted out "You Lie" during President Obama's speech it made me wonder just who is really lying to the American people.

President Obama said a lot of things and promised something for everyone.

One thing he said was this plan would not add a "single dime to the deficit." How can this be true?

Has anyone ever seen a Government run program that did not add to the deficit over the long run?

No government program is a for profit program. The Veterans Administration does not pay for itself. The Post Office does pay for itself. With Congress continually raiding Social Security it does not pay for itself. Medicaid and Medicare does pay for itself. Amtrak does not pay for itself. Each and every program is either subsidized by the taxpayer or it is running in the red and has to be bailed out by the government at some point in time.

President Obama said "no illegals will be covered under his plan."

While the present bill being considered does say this, no where in the bill does it require proof of citizenship to obtain a co-op or government option insurance program. Without any form of verification of citizenship anyone can be part of this type of program.

As the law stands now anyone in need of health care in this country cannot be denied because they are not U S citizens. Show up at any emergency center and you will be treated, citizen or not. I see nothing in President Obama's speech that will solve this problem of true American citizens with insurance paying for illegals. The big problem, people here illegally will be too afraid to sign up for any insurance without amnesty and some will simply refuse to buy into any American insurance when they know they can go to any emergency room and be treated free of charge.

President Obama said his plan would be payed for by cutting "waste and fraud, as well as unwarranted subsidies in Medicare that go to insurance companies".

Unless you are a absolute Obama supporter willing to believe the man has never misspoke a single word or sentence in his life, you cannot believe this to be true. It simply does not stand to reason that if there is that much waste and fraud in Medicare, and the politicians know where it is, then somebody should be fired for allowing it to continue with or without a new government program.

These are only a few points I ponder as truths or lies. I find it hard to distinguish between political rhetoric and an outright lie. I raised my kids with the understanding a lie is a lie. If you tell me something you know is not true then it is a lie. Mr. President you are supposed to know better than anyone if what you are telling the American people is true or not.

Stock Market Another Crash

by Ron Spangler

Gold prices rising, oil prices rising, U S deficit continuing to rise, dollar value dropping and faith in the dollar as the world's standard reserve falling means the U S market is facing another disastrous crash. As the Feds continue to print more and more money the dollar is becoming more and more worthless which will lead us into another Jimmy Carter era of high inflation, long gas lines and everything costing Americans more than we can afford.

It has not been that long ago that China called for a New World Reserve Currency

Why are they and other countries worried? They fully understand and can see the future of the American economy and it isn't in the best interest of the rest of the world.

While this Congress and Administration is solely focused on Healthcare and controlling more and more of our everyday lives America is heading for disaster. They are not paying attention to what is really going on around the world and other countries have noticed and are becoming more and more alarmed at the direction this administration is taking America into.

Like it or not the world economy is based more on oil than any other commodity known to man. It was oil and all of its byproducts that was the true driving force behind the industrial revolution in Europe and the 2nd industrial revolution in North America. Without oil and its byproduct grease as a lubricant, mass production in factories could not have been accomplished with such a high level of success in America.

After oilfields were discovered in Pennsylvania in 1859, it was refined into kerosene and grease. Kerosene was used for lighting and grease allowed the factories to redesign tools and machines to mass produce their products. Eventually oil was refined into diesel and gas replacing the steam and electric mode of transportation.
As a form of transportation both steam and electric were either too dangerous or too inefficient to operate and meet the needs of a growing industry and society.

With the abundance and relative cheap supply of American oil the 19th and 20th centuries proved to be the best years for an industrial America. We led the world in industry and new inventions. We won the wars that were started in Europe and Japan. The American dollar replaced gold as the world standard and it was all based on America depending on its own natural resources and industrial strength.

Now all of the successes of our fathers are in jeopardy. Not because America is weak but because Americans have lost their way and become complacent. We now depend on government to solve all of our problems economically and now we are considering to allow the government to take over our health care needs. Throughout history governments whether they are Socialist, Communist, Fascist, or Capitalist have been the very worst at running any economy or health care system. You simply cannot have a free society with our Constitution and allow the government to dictate how everything in that society operates.

People are starting to understand that America's days as a free society may be numbered and they are starting to make their voices heard. The only question is are the politicians listening or do they believe they are the only ones in charge. The last time I looked the American Constitution and the Declaration of Independence made it quite clear that the American people were in charge and Congress and the President only worked for and represent the American people. It is also clear that all powers not clearly and expressly given to the Federal Government by the States and American People remain in the hands of the States and American People. This President and Congress have somehow forgotten or just don't believe this is part of our Constitution. Maybe they just believe they are above the Constitution and Americans only have rights that Congress shall deem to be appropriate.

I hope I am wrong but if this government continues to print money, spend money they don't have and allow the environmentalist to stop us from returning to a nation that can rely more on our own natural resources and less on foreign resources, then this nation is surely doomed and China knows it. Continuing on the path that Washington is heading down will result in 2010 being the year America fell from a world leader to a third world country. If this happens there will be worldwide chaos and in the end another great war to see who will be the next great power.
