What if?

So, here I am, sitting in my hotel room in Germany (I might blog about that later). It’s 7:41 here currently, and I’ve been awake since 1 a.m.

I got my TV working just in time to find out that apparently, I’ll be going home to a nation that is one step closer to socialism.

I can’t help but think “What if this is what changes everything?” What if this election is the one that causes the United States of America, the greatest nation on earth, to crumble and fall? It happened to Rome, can it happen to us? Can a change of leadership in a country that is supposed to be “for the people” cause it to perish from this earth?

I’m not saying Barack Obama is the antichrist, or that he’s a bad person, but what I am saying is that our enemies are definitely celebrating his victory. CNN and the BBC conducted a poll of 22 nations, and 3 to 1 the response was that they wanted Obama to be our next president. In times past, that would have been enough to ensure a John McCain victory. When did we as a nation become so concerned about appearances? Who cares what the rest of the world thinks? That’s like the CEO of a company asking the janitor what he should do about a conflict with the investors. I mean, sure, we can’t just say “screw the rest of the world,” but we need to be more concerned with what’s going to benefit our country than what the rest of the world thinks is best.

Maybe I’m wrong. But I don’t think I am. We need, now more than ever, someone in office who knows how to handle difficult situations and how to stay strong in the face of adversity. If anyone knows how to stay strong, it’s a POW.

Bad form, America. Bad form. Hope you enjoy unemployment and higher taxes. That’s what you’ll get for the next four years.
