Elizabeth Kubler-Ross' answer to America's Terminal Illness called ObamaitisSat, 11/08/2008 - 10:55am
By: Richard Hobbs
Elizabeth Kubler-Ross is the author of the recognized treatise on terminally ill people called "On Death and Dying." She explains that there are 5 stages that a person typically goes through when they learn they, or a close family member or friend, is terminally ill. I find that I am experiencing three of those, to a lesser or greater degree perhaps, depending upon the day and hour. Right now I'm enduring denial, anger and depression. My country is on a direct path to terminally end the "individual" and to promote the classes of peoples that are easily manipulated by emotion and rhetoric. (You know the kind, that want the trains to run on time, and who love to be paid for not working while finding time to protest achievement.) So, I'm going through a constant Denial stage. Just looking at the media pawning all over him, is enough to make me to get up off the couch and turn the television station. (Yes, even if I don't have a remote, I'm getting up to turn the station, or I have to suffer the immediate anxiety of seeing another puff piece on how Michelle is so very patriotic.) Sort of like the celebrity worship about Oprah, Madonna, Brad and Angelina, I'm just ignoring all of it now. (Even the Washington Post acknowledged today that they were in the "tank" for Obama, and now are willing admitting to it, 4 days after it could do any damage for Obama. Don't you love an honest press?) Obama said the Constitutional was fundamentally flawed, well, with respect to a free press, he may be right, because a free press must also be a responsible press, otherwise, it becomes nothing more than a manipulative tool of the Government. There is no doubt, that the Free Press as we once knew it, has died in America. Sadly, they even recognize this fact, and suggest that they couldn't help it, since Barack was such a sensational candidate. (Remember the parathesis that ran up Matthews' leg?) Hell, why don't we just do an American Idol show from now on for our Presidential candidates? Every Cell phone in America can vote once a week, while the Democrats and Republicans battle it out twice a week on Prime Time television. However, I'm also still very angry, although I have to admit, not as much as I thought. I guess the idea that hundreds of people are still alive today, that would have perished in the riots that would have erupted in the streets, should McCain have won, is comforting to me. Something good did result from this election. But depression is still with me. Depression that my children's children may be so corrupted by the culture that follows a socialistic state, that I fear for generations that I've never even met. The idea that my grandchildren, and great grandchildren might be forced to vote for a union contract while Obama's Acorn thugs, who run our Civilian National Security force --that Obama wants funded to the same levels as the military, scares me a bit. Will the victim status that so many of the Obama supporters wear on their sleeve, become standard and acceptable behavior in the new culture that Barack is bringing? Will my progeny strive for mediocrity as opposed to excellence? Only time will tell. The good thing though, is that although we are going to go through some very rough economic times and most likely some very rough national security issues over the next four years, the media will be spinning positive stories at every turn. So no matter how bleak it might look, we will be inundated with positive stories about how Barack sunk a three pointer from 5o feet away, in the White House Gym, oh, by the way, Tel Aviv was hit with three missiles from Iran while Israel was bombing several nuclear bomb facilities in retaliation. "But man, it was all net!" In 2004, George Bush won with 51% of the vote, and every American paper said that the Nation was divided. In 2008, Barack Obama won with 52% of the vote, and the American papers said we are a nation once divided, but now we are coming together united in our common search for the real American identity. Yeah, the media ain't biased. I doubt I'll get to bargaining, what do I have to offer in exchange for an avowed racist loving, terrorist befriending, and Marxist studying junior senator --still wet behind his ears, to stop his insane ideas about a Civilian National Security force; eliminating unilaterally, American nuclear weapons; and destroying Free Market Capitalism. Because if there was something I could offer, I'd do it. Right now, I'm waiting until January to buy my first gun, since the free market influences of demand are driving up the prices of guns. It seems no one with any common sense believes that Barack and the Democratic Congress won't try and take away that right as soon as they are able to do so. So, if you have any suggestions for what I should purchase please tell me now. And finally, the last stage is Acceptance. I don't know if I'll reach that level until January 2012, when I hope Jindal is being sworn in as our next American President. Power corrupts and absolute Power corrupts absolutely. But don't worry, we will never hear about it. Congress will be so busy holding hearings on the Bush Administration, the media will have no time into actually looking into the corruption of the Barack and Democratic administration to come. So to my friends on this blog who have welcomed the second coming of Karl Marx, I say congratulations. There is one silver lining to all of this. Yeungling is now being sold in Georgia. Just in time for me to drink myself into a coma for the next four years. I've taunted Muddle and JeffC about it for years, never shared one with any of you, but now I don't have to. Go out and get it yourself, and tell me that I wasn't right about it. You won't be able to. Then as time goes on, and Barack's insanity begins to become apparent, you might end up agreeing with me on politics as well. Because the Beer a man drinks says more about him than any other single thing. Make mine a Yuengling. login to post comments | previous forum topic | next forum topic |
