Can You See It Now?

This is a re-post of a piece that I originally posted on January 14, 2010. We have now had an extra 2 years of President Obama, aided and abetted by Senate Democrats. All I see everywhere is kudzu. 

"I think the Democrats are like Kudzu, the noxious vine infesting large parts of the South. Once it gets established, it's nearly impossible to get rid of the stuff. The picture above shows a healthy Southern hardwood forest. Below it is a photograph of a Kudzu-covered forest. It is stunted, gloomy and almost impenetrable, which is exactly what the Democrats are doing to the United States. Americans are beginning to catch on and are getting out the political pruning shears. It an't happen soon enough! If we don't act quickly and decisively, the American landscape will never be the same."

This country is sinking and I am now convinced that President Obama and most Democrats believe that the terrible economy and all the associated social dislocation is unavoidable and even desirable collateral damage on the road to socialism - you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.  They really believe that what is pictured above is what this country should look like and they have been doing their best to buy or create votes to finish the job. For those who think they can just continue "as is" and things will get better, well, enjoy the landscape above because this is what things will look like for the rest of your life. For those who remember what a healthy America looks like, this election is critical - get involved - it can change for the better but it will be a fight.
