Rich country - soon to be poor

My rich - soon to be poor - country needs me. The law of unintended consequences already is kicking into gear. First Julius Caesar in 50 B.C. said, "All precedents productive of evil effects have had their origin in what was good." Now in 2008 C.E. (a common era if history ever beheld one after the Lord, A.D.), President-elect Barack Obama begins to engineer the downfall, not of Rome, but of America. "Bailouts" (giveaways) and "investments" (spending) that rhetorically sound good, in reality, promote the evils of irresponsibility, laziness, hedonism and dependence. Those Americans who plan to make money and preserve money by saving for retirement need not bother to sacrifice anymore; other Americans who plan to have it all by borrowing as well as under-budgeting and over-spending throughout life, will be saved by those ‘rich’ Americans. Conservatism has died a lingering death. Am I the lone survivor?

H.G.Wells said the 1st penalty of pride is ignorance. My oh my are not the liberals a boastful, arrogant species? They have succeeded in electing their "hip, skinny, hedonistic, and youthful socialist replacement for God. HEAVEN HELP US boring, lumpy, cautious and aging free market servants of God." I for one can teach Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindal or any aspirational whippersnapper all he or she needs to know about conservatism, defined and lived to the max.
