Random Pre-election Observations From a Curmudgeon

Has been awhile since my last posting. Have been busy working with Tate Publishing to finalize my 6th book, The Treasure of Valcour Island.
My wife and I took advantage of early voting and cast our ballots last Friday.
Most pre-election polls report that Republican (Conservatives) will win big. Personally, I am not optimistic that these predictions will come true. Their are far too many people in this country who believe Obama's progressive socialist agenda will provide a comfortable life style for them. These people believe that the government should take money from the rich (definition of rich is murky) and passed on to the little people (definition of little people also murky). To these greedy, self-centered folks, the United States Constitution can be violated at will - if it serves their agenda - and they will gladly sacrifice personal freedom to Obama and "Big Daddy" government.
For decades our nation has been gradually sliding into intellectual and moral decay, so it stands to reason that two generations of spoiled society has come to believe that everyone is entitled to be socially and economically equal, even for people who have not worked for; nor made any personal contribution toward improving their lot in life. An obese government and bloated public education system replaced the '3-R's, civility, morality and discipline, with a disease known as 'political correctness.' Political correctness and its associated symptoms known as diversity and equality, are now pandemic. The PC disease is treated with diversity grants, a diversity program in virtually every university and government programs to ensure every citizen; and non-citizen, receives the education, rights and privileges that previously had to be earned and paid for by the individual.
Our government has set the example as to how modern society should live its life, so how can we expect society to accept responsibility? Our government is irresponsible and spends money recklessly. Government is incurring debt that will saddle future generations of Americans with horrendous debt. So, in following the example set by their government, a politically correct citizenry is of the mentality that they can have whatever they want without paying for it. Why should a homeowner pay his mortgage when government cannot pay its debts? Government has set the example for our PC citizenry to incur debt on their credit cards; because after all, they are entitled and government doesn't pay its debt.
I am presently reading Doctor Michael Savage's "Trickle Up Poverty." I would highly recommend this read to everyone. It is a real eye opener as to what Obama's intentions are to convert America into a Socialist Regime. I did not make a mistake in using the word 'regime.' Mr. Savage has investigated Obama's past and it is now obvious why the major media refused to dig into and report Obama's education and his association with communist radicals; many of whom he has appointed czars in his administration. Had an educated America known of Obama's radical background, it is unlikely he would have been elected to the Presidency.
In electing the first black President, this nation made a huge mistake in not electing Herman Cain. Herman understands the Constitution. Herman is Conservative. Herman is opposed to political correctness. Herman knows the importance of individual freedom, and believes in less government control over every facet of out lives.
I hope that America has not sunk into the intellectual and moral morass that prevents the election of Conservative Constitutionalists. November 2, will provide the answer.
