Our ship of state

Here’s the question. Should we sink the ship to see the bubbles? The liberals have been weighing down our ship of state with ballast of over-spending on special programs, numerous grants, subsidies and pounds of pork favors. No wonder she founders. Some cargo is necessary, of course, for our ship of state to pay its way such as defense and infrastructure. But we cannot just sit idly by, cruising, watching porpoises play and whales spout and do nothing about the present state of maritime affairs. Our freedoms are being tossed overboard. Liberals like Obama and Hellary would be despotic captains. They propose further burdens on taxpayers with higher taxes and additional mandates that repress our rights to drink, drive, drug, smoke, feast, gamble, borrow, spend, party, think or work. Another freedom deprived rides on next wave when it comes to liberals doing their ‘heavy- handed work of navigating our ocean liner through turbulent seas. Most turbulence, unfortunately, has been manufactured by sympathetic sailors from the media, public education, journalism and elite universities.

Our ship need not be another Titanic. Conservative leaders, thinkers, writers, politicians, voters and citizens must become a Life Guard Squad to prevent our nation from dashing itself upon the rocks of liberal socialism. Liberalism’s goal is socialism’s goal - to equalize ability and ownership. Each passenger on the high seas must be equal to another passenger, both in seasickness and in health. We conservatives with common sense cannot rest in our deck chairs enjoying the view. We cannot allow our ship to sink. The cauldron wake of bubbles might be fun to behold, but it would give only an instant of gratification. So too would knowing that an Obama, delusional like a Captain Ahab or Hillary, authoritarian like a Bligh might accompany the ship to the bottom. Sinking the liberal ship to see the bubbles would cause more than an environmental disaster.
