The Death of Conservative America

While on my daily walk today, my mind refused to veer away from thoughts of tonight's debate as well as the upcoming election. (Some of what follows has appeared in one or more of my earlier posts.)

I've decided to throw in the towel on McCain as he has not stepped up to the plate and given conservative voters any reason to want him as president. Consequently, when I stand in the voting booth on Tuesday, November 4, and prepare to make my selection, there is, at this point, a better-than-fifty percent chance that I will punch the circle representing the Constitution Party's candidate, Chuck Baldwin. The only doubt in my mind is due to Governor Palin's presence on the (R) ticket, and that reason is probably flimsy at best (though I admire Sarah Palin immensely).

Despite my recent posts in which I had touted a chance for a conservative revival beginning in 2012 after Obama has had four years to ruin the country, I regret to say that, after further consideration, I don't see any such prolonged revival occurring. The following list contains the reasons for my growing fear:

1. Removal of God from the American landscape, figuratively and literally, by the courts and public schools thanks to a convenient misinterpretation of the First Amendment;
   
2. The death of free speech;
3. The rise of political correctness (refer to item 2);
4. Aggressive Darwinist/atheist agenda forced on fertile young minds in public schools and those in higher education;
5. Grade-school indoctrination by the militant homosexual mafia (refer to items 1, 2, 3, and 4);
6. A continued replenishing of secular progressive lunacy from the communist-infiltrated public school system (refer to item 4);
   
7. Nancy Pelosi, undeniably a psychopath, who will assure item 2 by bringing back the Fairness Doctrine. With the Democrats in total control, no one will stop her.
   

Not only are new laws threatening to silence the opposition of the socialist juggernaut, but the left maintains a vise grip on the media, speech, religious expression, and expression of any viewpoint that contradicts their agenda.

With the deck stacked so heavily against conservatism and freedom of religious expression, I see no hope that the direction of the country will change over the course of my remaining years on planet earth. For the first time in my life, I am seriously considering relocating to another country. As of yet, I have not yet decided upon my destination; but wherever it is, it will not be on the North American continent.

Forgive me for being so bleak. I really need to work on this. Perhaps I should concentrate more on poetry or fiction in the future... or spending time with my dog. God knows, there hasn't been much of a reason to be hopeful for years.
