Life After Iowa

Yesterday, was an exciting day for Republicans. It was the beginning of the end of the Obama Administration and the beginning of a wave of enthusiasm of small government, less taxes and more individual freedom for everyone. The winners in Iowa were not just Santorum and Romney but the American people. Romney has taken his first steps in securing the nomination and bringing an end to what appears at least at the moment to be a map shaped in Romney’s favor. The only real test will come in South Carolina and if he can come away with a first place finish there, he will most assuredly be the Republican nominee. With Bachman dropping out of the race, it allows for a last stand for Perry and Gingrich. A strong showing in South Carolina could propel either one back up into the upper echelon of candidates and give them the funds to contend with Romney in later states to at least prolong what appears to be the inevitable. Santorum, at least for the moment is the presumed rival of Romney  but unless conservative groups rally around him, it is hard to see him rivaling Romney for long. Gingrich has the experience, Santorum the vigor and Perry the credentials but none of that will matter unless conservatives choose which candidate they wish to challenge Romney and potentially Obama. Three conservative candidates allow Romney to just sit back and watch the fireworks as each candidate tries to be the anti-Romney and attack his conservative counterparts on who is the true conservative in the race. Whoever, comes out as the anti-Romney let us all remember what we as conservatives are trying to accomplish. The defeat of Obama and the end to this Progressive nightmare     It has been a tumultuous few years for anyone who took the time to look past the hope and change that was supposed to occur with the election of our first African American president. Who knew or cold even fathom  what kind of change was in store for us. I don’t think anybody even the most far right pundits could ever of dreamed at how far President Obama has tried to turn this country into a socialistic utopia. Something that even the most far left leaders in Europe could never of imagined for countries who favor Socialism, much less the United States who since its birth has been a proponent of such harmful ideas as socialism and communism. Yes, I am using the word socialism and not far left or progressive. It is time we call it what it is instead of trying to be politically correct about the term. He has tried to take over our banks, the auto industry, healthcare and now he is even trying to monitor what you put on your Facebook. For the past four years we have heard nothing but rich people are bad and we need to take their money from them so we can distribute it amongst the population so everyone can be just as poor as his neighbor. Because that is what will happen, there is only so much money to go around, if you take money away from those who have businesses that employ workers and make them have the exact same salary as the people they employ, then they can’t afford to hire those workers, the businesses shut down and everyone loses. Except the government who can swoop in and be our own personal Superman with entitlement programs that make everyone subservient to the hand that feeds them. I have no problem with the government helping the least fortunate but when the government is your primary source of income, then your nothing but a slave to it and that can become a dangerous thing that we all should fear. The truth is, Democrats don’t want you to succeed, because if you succeed they can’t tell you what you can put in your body, what you can drive and frankly, what you can think. This is why Fox News has been such a thorn in their side for so long because it strays from their conventional thoughts and they are fearful once the people open their eyes to what is going on around them. Their fear is reasonable as it is true, the people will vote them out of office and replace them with people who believe in individual freedoms. That is why they resort to racial politics or class warfare to keep people from speaking the truth for fear of being ridiculed or deemed a racist or a bigot by the media. Finally, people are seeing through this charade and coming to the conclusion that free speech is not something to be smothered but instead is something that should be cherished and preserved at all costs. No matter what the Hollywood stars tell us or the pundits on MSNBC deem us to be, the Tea Party has proven that real change not the phony kind that we were promised by Obama is coming whether the left likes it or not.
