Now we’ve stepped through the looking glass…

If recent headlines are any indication, Obama is poised to do an about-face on his stand against prosecuting Bush administration officials for so called “torture” of detainees.  In an apparent kow-tow to powerful interests in the Democratic party that want prosecutions of someone, anyone, President Obama signaled that he wouldn’t “get in the way” of Congress or the AG’s office if the decided to pursue criminal charges.

If this indeed happens, than I hold each and every Republican that voted for then Senator Obama responsible.  All of those that were fooled by his claims of being a moderate centrist, when all of the evidence was irrefutable and to the contrary.  All of those that chose to believe something other than the most obvious truth when they pulled that lever in their voting booth.  The true colors of this administration, of the interests and concerns that will truly drive the liberal, socialist agenda, will come out.  Obama, even if he is not in lock-step with their beliefs, will be powerless to stop their advance.

Now is the time for action.  Not mid-term elections. Not 2010.  Now.  By either of those dates, it might be too late to rebuild what has been destroyed.  Isn’t it enough already that this President’s first 100 days in office have been a colossal failure at a time when we needed a home run?  When one after one, his cabinet level appointments dropped out or were so ridiculed and marginalized, as to be ineffective?  When this President takes a “victory lap” overseas, then “apologizes” for Americans.  When he laughs with and shakes the hand of a brutal megalomaniac dictator in Chavez?  Then poses with a book Chavez hands him,  blaming America for all Latin Americas woes?  Isn’t that enough already?  Do we really need more? If he’s managed all of the above in his first hundred days, imagine how far down he can bring us in two hundred. Three hundred. One thousand. No, we need to take a stand here.

All of you that were on the fence during the election, that perhaps didn’t like issues John McCain supported, or his age, or his choice of running mate – whatever the issues were, you chose to give Obama and the Democrats a chance, to take them at face value and cast a vote for “hope” and “change”.  You heard the inspiring speeches that spoke in metaphor and you wanted to believe. Wanted to think that this world was not a dark, scary place that we needed to be protected from, that we were tired of worrying about.  If only someone would lead us out of the darkness back to the way things were before all of this turmoil.  Unfortunately, you got suckered.  Now, it’s time to wake up, take responsibility for the damage you’ve wrought and try to make it right.

You’ve heard before “write your Congressman” and never done it.  You’ve had issues you were passionate about, but never expressed your feelings to those that were elected to represent you.  Most people are like that.  Only the voices of an incredibly small minority are ever heard.  Now is the time to change that.  Find out who your reps are.  Support those that espouse the same beliefs as you do.  Form grass roots groups that oppose liberal, socialist agendas like gun control and an open door immigration policy for illegals.  Be vocal. Be persistent.  Don’t wait for someone else to do it, because quite frankly, there is no one else.  You are it.  We can’t wait another four years, maybe not even another four months.
