Review and Insight

Just when I was looking for a keystone for this entry, the gift was found in looking at the list of referrals to this website.

I'm not sure if the referral link is Polish, Czech or Urkranian. Having spent a short amount of time in those small, new countries to the right of Italy, it's possible the referring page isn't Czech...although it's the most likely choice. The reasons why the Czech's love the OregonGuy isn't for me to reveal. They do. Face it.

There's enough difference between Ukraine and Russian, (and Grek) that I'm pretty sure it's Czech. If you know, please let me know.

The thing is, the webpage they're now referring to actually strikes me as a rather profound expression of what America means, and how threatening an Obama administration would/will be to American values. As we, as a country, move away from those values that have served us so well in our short history, perhaps a brief dirge is in order. Jesus had three days. (Sort of a three day/two nights kinda thing your travel agent assures you is a good value.)

So, our decline will probably be measured--in the future--as lasting many a good year. I don't believe it. The future of our country will be measured in years, if not weeks.

There are 52 weeks a year.

There are only 156 weeks in the next three years. The havoc that will be wrecked upon our economy will show up within 13 to 26 weeks. At that point, the damage will have been done and the effects will be irrepairable. And there are no brakes on the truck. We are careening out of control--economically--and the driver of the bus keeps telling folks to get on, sit down and shut up. Literally.

Did you know that the White House just issued an ukase forbidding us--normal U.S. citizens--from complaining to our elected officials about current government policy?

Yeppers.

You prolly don't hit the "whitehouse" webpage. Mebbe you should. Once published, findings by the executive do effect law. (There is no "aw f&ck factor in government. Once the elected no longer have to listen to us, we're toast. Well kids? We're toast.)

The breadth and expanse of government control and expansion is greater than I have ever experienced. Mebbe not so my mom. She had FDR. We had LBJ. Then JEC. Today? WTFK?

Re-reading a post from September of last year seems so anachronistic. There was still so much hope that the country would recognize that a man who had absolutely no experience whatsoever would or could not be elected. Again, the Jimmah paridigm. Although, to be fair, I've always asserted that President Carter probably was the smartest, best educated president we've ever had. I point that out to show that education and "smartness" isn't always the best set of predicates to base ones choice upon. (I'm not being facetious, or sarcastic. I truly believe that James Earl Carter is one of the best educated Presidents we've ever had. Period. But book lernin aint' everything.)

My post then was on the rising tide of national socialism in this country. That there were cultural indicators that we were moving to a point in the balance of thoughts and beliefs that would tend to suggest that reasonable discussion of differences was being taken off the table. I haven't taken the time to fix all the links in this post, but I do offer this link. And I've updated the link on the original post.

There is a truly existential threat afoot in this country. We may become the new Cuba. I've already picked out my classic car.

Have you?

UPDATE: Perchance, Romany?
