Things can always get worse- and they're about to

Well, we were right, but there is no comfort in being able to say, "We told you so."
We tried to warn you that Obama would be bad for our country, and now the proof is in the pudding.
I wonder if we will survive his "reign of terror"?
I didn't expect miracles from our next president; it was obvious that, whoever was elected, he was going to have a major mess to deal with, and I figured we'd have to make some painful adjustments to deal with it. But I hoped and prayed it wouldn't be this bad.
I knew there would be a struggle, but I trusted that the system of checks and balances would save us from the worst of it being forced into law. Unfortunately, the liberals/Democrats have their thumbs on the scale.
It was something like this when Clinton was president, and some of what we are suffering now is his legacy. In many ways, Obama is merely imitating the worst president America ever had. But, by not learning from the mistakes of the past- and seeming to be determined to make them again, where our national defense and pro-life issues are involved- Obama's errors are magnified, and we are in greater danger than ever before.
Not only are Obama and the liberal/Democrat Congress' changes going to place us in extreme danger of more terrorist attacks on our own soil, but they also put us in the graver danger of being abandoned by God. If we, as a nation, allow our leaders to impose upon us legislation that grievously offends God, there is no way we can rightly expect Him to continue to bless and protect us, as He so obviously has for our entire existence thus far.
Common sense should've told Obama that it would not be wise to welcome into our midst- and provide financial support for- millions of people who were among the enemies who rejoiced on tv when their heroes successfully attacked our nation on 9-11-01. (If Obama hadn't already demonstrated a clear penchant for affiliating with enemies of America, I might wonder if this was possibly a case of keeping your enemies closer than your friends...)
At the same time, they are working to cripple our power to defend ourselves and our allies. (In my opinion, those two taken together amount to treason and/or dereliction of duty, and we should seriously consider impeaching- at the very least- those responsible.)
Obviously something more than a search for medical cures is going on when Obama et al decide, in these dire financial times, to restore funding for fetal stem cell research. Embryonic stem cells have never yet produced a viable cure or treatment for anything (except maybe investors' wallets), but have instead proved to be dangerous or ineffective. Meanwhile, treatments from stem cells obtained without requiring the snuffing out of human life are currently restoring the health of many, with realistic hope of more to come.
They're also working to restore funding for the largest provider of abortion on earth, Planned Parenthood. This big business makes millions of dollars in profits from killing the unborn; it has no need of our tax dollars. I'm sure they delight in knowing they have an ally in Obama, who will force us to fund their evil to the tune of $300 million+ per year. The great irony about PP is that their industry is eliminating a significant portion of future generations of tax payers, and is therefore contributing to the financial problems Obama claims to want to fix. And you can be sure they have something to do with the removal of the restraints on embryonic stem cell research, since they're in a perfect position to profit from it: finally, a "good" use for all those aborted babies.
What else are we going to be forced into? Another clue is Obama's choice for Climate Czar- Browner. She apparently has no problem cooking numbers when studies don't back up her draconian measures against whatever boogeyman she may be attempting to slay. Last time, it was second-hand smoke. "So what?" you may be thinking. "Even if it was all lies, we are better off not having to be exposed to the stink of cigarette smoke everywhere." And that's the problem in a nutshell: studies have shown that the worst you can say about cigarette smoke is that it stinks. The studies that supposedly show how dangerous it is don't exist. Browner didn't let that stop her, though. Now imagine what is going to happen with climate change, which studies show is not affected by humans. Reality hasn't stopped Gore; it won't be a problem for Browner. Some people care as much about the truth of this issue as they do about cigarette smoke. But if they have their way, it is going to cause major increases in the cost of utilities, and put a lot of people out of work. Still saying, "So what?" If so, you really, really need to get your head out of your arse.
