The pace of change impacting the United States
of America is accelerating at an alarming rate. This week the Supreme Court
bolstered Obamacare by rewriting the law and sanctioning the subsidies that are
the centerpiece of the program. On Friday, by a 5-4 margin, the justices
legalized gay marriage in all 50 states. This sweeping decision rendered
meaningless the vote of Americans in states across the nation.
In essence, these Supreme Court justices, a
majority appointed by Republicans, have become a leading force in advancing the
liberal agenda. According to research from the New York Times, 54%
of the rulings in this term have been liberal, making it the most left wing
Supreme Court in 46 years.
In Congress, spineless Republicans have refused
to withdraw funding from Obamacare or the President's executive order to grant
amnesty to five million illegal aliens. With de-facto open borders, illegal
immigrants continue to stream into the country. Unlike previous generations,
millions of both legal and illegal immigrants are clinging to the customs and
culture of their homeland instead of assimilating into the United States of
America.
This week, Republicans in the Senate provided
the key votes to pass "fast track" authority for the President. This
will mean that the secretive Trans-Pacific Partnership involving the United
States and 11 other nations must be approved without amendment. The President
and his crony corporate Republican allies insist the trade deal will be
beneficial to our economy. If so, why is Congress rushing to pass legislation
to provide assistance to Americans who will lose their jobs as a result of this
deal? Obviously, this trade deal benefits big businesses at the expense of
small businesses and the results will mirror what happened in the aftermath of
other trade deals such as NAFTA and CAFTA, undoubtedly, major job losses.
In the aftermath of the tragic shooting in
Charleston, South Carolina, the President immediately started pushing gun
control legislation. He placed politics over decency, advocating legislation
before the victims were even buried.
Since there was an Internet video of the
murderer draped in the Confederate flag, both Republicans and Democrats started
calling for it to be removed from statehouses and other public places. However,
the attempt to change history did not stop with the flag; it also extended to
statues of Confederate generals. Thus, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu called
for the statue of General Robert E. Lee to be removed from Lee Circle on St.
Charles Avenue.
Landrieu and his fellow politicians did not show
any "courage" by targeting Confederate iconography. In contrast,
these politicians were only pursuing the politically correct script. It takes
no courage to follow the crowd and promote a liberal agenda.
The politicians who truly try to stop the
assault of progressivism are rare indeed. Therefore, liberals usually win and
advance their schemes while conservatives are continually on the defensive.
As America prepares to celebrate its 239th
birthday, it is obvious that the country has changed forever. There is little
hope of going back to the traditions that built this nation. The days of prayer
in public schools, protecting unborn babies, and upholding traditional marriage
are officially over.
The new America is the home to socialized medicine, unbridled
government spending and interference, legalized gay marriage, and rampant
illegal immigration.
There is no GOP leadership to stop the forward march of socialism,
so Americans can expect even more change in the future. It is a "brave new
world" for our country as our freedoms will continue to diminish and our
federal government will continue to expand. Our future looks decidedly
Orwellian, with Big Brother government in charge and the concept of American
liberty a quaint notion from yesteryear.
