Blogpost Number 779

"Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light." ~ Dylan Thomas

I used to think my blog had relevance. I used to think it was important.

And, I wanted to make a difference.

Before the 2008 Presidential election. I wrote several blog entries warning readers of the negative implications of voting for Barack Hussein Obama for President. I pleaded with readers not to vote for Obama because he is a Marxist, and would ultimately lead America to destruction. I made my case as strong as I could.

Obviously, I failed.

And, what lone voice crying out in the wilderness wouldn't? Stronger voices than mine have met with the same unfortunate results.

I'm not the only one who attempted, unsuccessfully, to influence America's vote.

So did Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity, and Laura Ingraham, and Ann Coulter, and Mark Levin. So did thousands of editorial and opinion writers. So did thousands, perhaps millions, of bloggers.

Few listened. Obama won, anyway.

Out of millions of blog posts, and articles, and talk radio shows, some people have changed their minds about politics. But not many.

I don't think I have changed any minds with my blog posts.

And now, everything we bloggers and radio hosts and editorialists have predicted is coming to fruition.

Obama has proven to be every bit of the pathological narcissist we said he is. He is every bit the Marxist. The Socialist. Whatever.

His takeover of banking institutions, automobile manufacturers, Insurance companies, etc, along with his ongoing efforts to insert his government into all phases of private industry (especially health care), and indeed, even private citizenry is evidence of the man's oft predicted intentions.

If our warnings continue unheeded, by 2012, Obama may very well be the dictator of a nation no longer considered a Constitutional Republic.

We are watching the Socialization of America take place right before our eyes. And still there are so many who see these predictions coming true and deny it's happening.

It defies logic.

What can be done?

Most Rev. Gregori, in a comment on one of my previous posts, said, "Just using blogs, faxes, emails, tea parties, demonstrations, and marches are not going to do it. It will take real action."

I beg to respectfully disagree.

The fact is, tea parties, demonstrations and marches are real action. That was proven during the years we were engaged in Vietnam. Do you realize America never lost a single battle during that campaign? How did we lose that war? Or, for those who don't believe we lost, how did that war end in a tie?

It was the voices raised by the vocal minority. It was the marches. It was the demonstrations. It was the outcry of dissent.

It made a very real difference.

The Government, from the President on down, acquiesced to the growing dissent and eventually withdrew American troops from a war we were winning.

So, our protests may seem to fall upon deaf ears, but we must not surrender. We must not rest. Although the sails are torn and the ship battered, we must do what we can to keep the ship of state afloat. Eventually, if we roar loud enough, we will prevail.

Ok. So my blog is irrelevant. I am unimportant. I don't make a difference.

It matters not. I will continue to voice my opinion, even if it's unpopular. Even if I am the only one who voices a particular opinion. Even if all who reads this opposes me. Though targeted by slings and arrows, I will stand my ground. I will keep my integrity.

I will not surrender.
