Sorry I have been pre-occupied with other things going on in my life to worry about what is going on in Washington DC since it appears that BHO will get what he wants and we will just have to hope that it work out for the best.
As someone that believes in "The Creator" since believing in Darwinism, the Big Bang, and Atheism is just plain silly due to the amount of "suspension of disbelief" necessary to accept these theories, I am prepared to allow the Divinity His way with the history of our world. It is the one thing that prevents me from really being depressed over how our country has moved from a force for good towards a whimper for "the so-so."
BHO and his SMDC will only be allowed to go so far before the citizenry understands that trading freedoms for government intervention in all aspects of their lives is not worth the value received. It may take some time, and it may not be reversible, but it will happen unless one event occurs: the majority of the American voting public is living off the backs of the wealthier minority. If or when this occurs, the country will slow sink into socialism and finally 3rd world status since it can only sustain an innovative and vibrant economy when everyone is working and carrying their share of the financial burdens demanded of a capitalistic-based economy.
No socialistic (the economic infrastructure) of Fascism, Communism, and Marxism (the political part of the equation) has survived without major political change whereby the personal freedoms of those being governed are subordinated to the best interest of the government. There will be small factions of resistance to these changes, but it will be the financial crisis that finally puts a nail in the coffin of the American dream.
Unions will continue to demand their "unsustainable" wage and benefit profiles especially the government employees unions that will bankrupt state after state, municipality after municipality, and city after city with their every increasing piece of the taxpayer treasury. When the local and state governments are over whelmed, they will seek increasing federal participation (with strings attached of course) to the point where those in Kansas will be paying for the mistakes in California and New York.
Liberal welfare programs will continue to addict the non-tax paying portion of the population to a point of demanding more and more government payments from a dwindling tax-paying minority to where innovation, entrepreneurship, and growth are stopped as is the case in all socialistic-oriented economies. Those that are working finally realize that it's not worth the effort to be innovative when the government is going to take 70-80% to pay for those that just vote for their welfare and transfer payments. Once this transformation takes place, the federal government has to take over and become "the state." Whether the government becomes Fascist, Communistic, or Marxist is simply a matter of who is power when the population finally gives up.
Here's the most likely outcome: if liberals are in power at "tipping point", then the government is very likely to become a form of Communism-light based on atheism, and total government control in the form of centralized planning. If conservatives are in power at TP (tipping point), then the government will most likely become Fascist since Fascism combines the government with big business to run the state. Finally, a combination of the two would likely produce a more Marxist form of government that takes the central planning of Communism with the elevation of the state to the only political entity while allowing some personal freedoms in religion and thinking.
Just some thoughts to begin your 2009 with during this period of major changes. Watch for two things that are already beginning to occur: the removal of the secret ballot in unionization events, and the increase spending of the federal government to cover all areas of public and personal life. These 2 events will signal the move towards the collapse of the capitalistic, free-market operation of the US economy, a prolonged recession into 2010-2011, and an increased demand for federal government intervention in every increasing areas of what was once private matters.
More later.
