Well, the contentious and hard fought election of 2012 is now behind us and the American people have spoken; Barack Hussein Obama and his party have retained enough power to stymie any attempts to push back on their progressive agenda of "Fundamental Transformation".
It's taken 100 years, but the "Progressive" vision of America is soon to be realized. "Fellow Travelers" of the past from Woodrow Wilson to Hubert Humphrey are rejoicing wherever their souls reside because the great bureaucracy will soon be in place to run our day to day lives. After all, we mere common folk just aren't capable of such a task.
America, the "Land of the Free" and the "Land of Opportunity" will become no longer the home of the "American Dream", but rather will be the home of, in Mr. Obama's words; "The American Promise".
What will this "Fundamental Transformation" look like? Well, all one has to do is look at other places around the globe where similar, if not identical visions have become a reality. More debt, taxes, regulation, governmental intrusion, more subsidies to politically connected industries and voting blocs, more bailouts for failed "too big to fail" companies, cronyism, high energy bills, despair, high unemployment, welfare, food stamps and more societal breakdown.
There will be less things too. Less opportunity, self sufficiency, economic growth, compassion, charity, choices, money for local governments and schools, less, individualism, motivation, success, self accomplishment, self worth and the most important of all less freedom.
America has spoken and for the first time in our history America has said that freedom is just too hard and we would rather have someone else take care of us than do it ourselves. I can only imagine what is going through the minds of the great patriots of the past. God help our republic.

An Ideology of Failure
Those "vast euphoric crowds" from 2008 have
disappeared and Mr. Obama has been exposed as the true radical that he is. It's going to be a long night for many tomorrow.
It may have taken 4 years for many to understand that Mr.
Obama is not what he was marketed to be and that his agenda is not an American
agenda, but they understand now. Our federal government was never intended to
be a top down authoritative government choosing winners and losers. The founders understood that society naturally
does this and people are only limited by their abilities and efforts.
Mr. Obama's agenda is an agenda that will destroy individual initiative and desire to succeed; punishing those who succeed and rewarding those who don't or won’t. This is not the natural order of things and all those policies do is put power in the hands of government while taking away the power of the individual. If after all this time many people don't understand that, then there's really no hope for them to ever understand that.
While it's possible that the government can do good; government cannot do for the individual what the individual can and should do for himself or herself. It's just not possible. The 13 richest counties in this country are all now in the DC area. That says to me that those counties are rich because they have taken away from my community where the money can be spent much wiser and at lower cost. Every federal dollar taken away from my community is money that can really effect where I live; businesses, churches and yes my local schools.
Mr. Obama’s agenda is one that will eventually starve my community of its resources while feeding an already bloated and inefficient federal bureaucracy always hungry for more and never satisfied.
Mr. Obama's ideology is not a new one and has been around for a very long time. His agenda is steeped in failed ideas that never work and never will work because they are ignorant of human nature. You can't force people to be good or compassionate and you can't force people to share, because when you do coerce that kind of behavior, it is no longer goodness, compassion or caring. For the life of me I can't understand why so many people can't wrap their minds around that very fact. Government spending on social programs is not charity, and though I believe there is a need for a safety net for those who truly cannot take care of themselves, I cannot agree with a system that creates dependency and you cannot deny that the system does. A government handout may take care of one’s current physical needs, but at what cost? A government handout cannot give you a sense of accomplishment and it can't give you a sense of self worth.
But if altruism is what many believe Mr. Obama’s agenda to be about, They are lying to themselves and have failed to see the reality. His agenda is designed to create dependency, despair and dehumanization where people look only to the government for help and therefore will continue to vote for him and others who believe as he does. In essence, his agenda is an agenda designed to perpetuate power in the hands of a small elite in a far off capitol. Anyone with their eyes fully open understands this.
