The news today changed. The MSM has begun to attack the man that the built as a beacon of Hope - Barak Obama. He earned my respect today - he is being attacked for the very reasons that progressives backed his campaign in the first place - he is trying to introduce change that will alter the way many aspects of this society work. This goes against the majority opinion - the defense mechanism of the human mind is to resist change. Conservatives live solely in this defense mechanism; but change is as inevitable as time itself. There are two approaches to take in regards to change: Fight it, or shape it. the collective media (and many on the 'blue side' of the issues) professed themselves in favor of some degree of proactive change - but real change on a fundamental scale truly upsets their psyche.
Mr. Obama is only suggesting a level of reform that is at the very least necessary (and perhaps not radical enough) to make a system as flawed as the current one at least operable for the foreseeable future.
I support Barack now more than ever, because I see him standing up for principles even when it is no longer possible to please the majority. What the vast majority of politicians, pundits, social commentators, and Americans in general must realize is that the rules of the game have changed. If we continue to operate in this fashion, the monetary exchange system will collapse completely, as we are only now beginning to see the edges of it crumble. It is not of the benefit of anyone to continue 'business as usual', because at this rate there will soon be no economy to conduct business in. What those w ho are rich must realize is that to be of privilege is meaningless if culture collapses. History does not judge societies by how wealthy its most affluent members are. Rather, it passes judgment on how it treats its people; how many are allowed to starve; if the sick are treated well or left to die in the street.... the level of education of its citizen, and the growth of scientific knowledge.... the ability to pursue the arts, and develop a rich culture. These are what improve the quality of living in a society for all of its inhabitants. Egalitarianism is the basis of the documents the Framers founded this country on. That all should have the opportunities for education; that none who are willing to work should go without basic necessities, or treatment for their illnesses. But to eliminate the obstacle to a truly fair society, we must get rid of the indentured servitude we call a debt-based economy (which proponents call a 'credit-based' economy); which forces people to constantly owe for what they are using. All property at that point is property of the banks, and no one is truly free to do with their things as they see fit. We are constantly working to pay off what we are already using, rather than building value on what we own. In fact, Mr. Obama realizes that all of the money that is going to be used in these programs is debt; which doesn't have any real value being no longer backed by Gold, or any other resource, and as such we can pull as much out of the air as we wish, if it will solve some of the major problems and inequities in the United States. Every dollar printed in the
People are now starting to blame him for the economy, even though he has been in office less than two months, and we are watching the collapse of decades worth of corruption. Most people when they start a new job don't even know where the coffee machine is for the first two months; and the pundits are expecting him to have fixed a system that has been destroying itself for over 20 years.
Give the guy a break... it took us a while to get into this mess, and it will take a while to get out. Do what you can for yourself to generate value; and let the man get on with his work. Don't nit pick unless you have better ideas as to how to fix the country... Which Rush does not... he just wishes for a return to the bigoted
