I am happy to announce that I am officially over being depressed about the election and it's dismal results. For about 48 hours I was depressed, sad, stunned and, yes, scared even. Once I realized that the country I grew up in is gone I also realized a few other things. One of them being that you can't wake the dead. What do I mean by that? Well, I've spent that last 4 years trying, desperately to figure out how to wake-up my liberal friends about the dangers of Obama, the people he surrounds himself with and the policies he's put into play (not to mention the looming debt ---16 trillion, last time I looked--- that he's rung up also, but that might actually be a silver lining to the dark cloud hanging over us, but I'll get to that in a bit.)

I have studied, read, listened, researched and soaked up every bit of information I could get my eyes and hands on to understand this in a way that I could simply convey to my “friends” that I wanted to help me save this country. We talked about much, but in the end, it changed nothing. They simply bought into what was easiest to do and what sounded more pleasant to their ears. Free healthcare DOES have a nice ring to it (to those who realize it isn't FREE at all, it's nothing more than destructive). Knowing the government wants to provide a safety net (ie: welfare, bankruptcy protection, wic, food stamps, free schools, free lunches, etc etc) for anyone who falls on hard times (or simply makes bad choices and decisions, or is just plain lazy and wants to be taken care of by someone else) sounds like a good idea too. So, in the end they voted for Obama on account of him being so caring and understanding and just plain “giving”. He wasn't saying things like, “We want to get people off of food stamps and the way there is to make sure businesses can thrive and hire and make more jobs so people can find work and be self sufficient.”, because that sounds more like hard work and who wants to work hard when things are already hard? When people need help they should get help, right? Why punish them even more? Instead, punishing the rich people (the business owners, the job creators) sounded like the better option to the liberals. Tax those the evil, selfish rich people (who make jobs and tax revenue which pays for and makes all the “free stuff” possible...) TAX THEM MORE!

The reason I am no longer depressed and sad is because I've realized one more thing. I am out numbered and there's no way to win when you're outnumbered. Which means I no longer have to try and talk sense into my liberal “friends”. It means I don't even have to talk to them at all, ever again. They are a lost cause. They are the problem. They are the ones trying to destroy ME, by voting for someone who will raise my taxes (by ending the Bush era tax cuts)...((it will also raise their taxes too, but I think they missed that part on account of not paying attention)), by making the dollar worth less (QE3, printing money ...if you don't understand this part, I don't care because it's your fault for not paying attention), robbing me of my medical decisions, (obamacare), higher costs, and a mediocre Dr. because all the smart ones will have left. Subsequent inflation, making my life even more expensive. I do not believe in safety nets. I pay my own way and ask nothing of anyone else. Now that Obama has been invited to hang around, by my "friends", I now have to revise my entire plans for the future and I'll be lucky to have a cent left when all this is over. When all of what is over, you ask? The inevitable bottoming out that this country will face, that's what. Which brings me to that silver lining I mentioned earlier.

The debt is unsustainable. Taxing the rich, taxing the middle class and borrowing more trillions from China won't fix it. Giving moochers more free stuff sure as hell won't fix it either. So.... what WILL fix it? Letting it collapse will do all the dirty work that needs to be done. I don't need to lift a finger, I don't need to try and talk sense into anyone, I no longer need (or even have the desire) to try and stop it. Let's get it over with so the one's who are left can clean up and get back to how life SHOULD be in America. Free and prosperous from sheer hard work and self reliance.

The ones who voted for Obama and all of his gift giving (at my expense), will not have the slightest clue how to survive fending for themselves when their government checks stop showing up. Where that path leads to I will let you figure out (If you're capable of following logic, that is. If not then I'll let the results of your vote be your own surprise.)

I did what I could for others, but I am now out to save ME and MINE and that's it. Don't let your lack of preparedness be my emergency. I will not help you.

Adios! :)
