1984

I have recently started reading the book 1984, by George Orwell. This book, apparently, was required reading for many in high school, but I had never heard of it until recently. I'm not much of a reader, so getting me to read anything is big news. However, this is one of those books you just can't put down.

I'm only about sixty pages into the book, but this man, Orwell, had extraordinary insight into socialism early in history. This book was first published in 1949, long before the present threat of socialism in the United States. We're far from the level of socialism in his book, but the first steps have been taken by our present government which really is in control with no means of checks and balance (since they run the POTUS, the House and the Senate).

The democrats have always been about gaining as much federal control over anything they can by labeling it as aid or regulations for whatever the cause of the week is. They're about a hand out, instead of a leg up. When you dole out charity with no emphasis on getting out into the real world and making something of yourself, you eventually subjugate your base into mind numbed puppets.

Forced socialized health care, which promises to bankrupt our nation and destroy the present level of care that most American's enjoy is but the first step. Our right to bear arms are almost certainly going to be in jeopardy. We're watching key political races being stolen by corrupt failed comedians turned to politics (Al Franken). The Presidential race itself was bought and paid for with record levels of KNOWN fraud (ACORN ring any bells). Obama's tax increase to 95% of the American public, will wreak havoc on our recessioned nations political recovery. Basic economics says don't raise taxes when the people already have no money.

Yes, Change has come. Wait, has it? Where is the change? Obama has basically reinstated the entire Clinton cabinet. That's not change...that's more of the same.

But I digress, this is about 1984...

I can tell this is one of those books that are going to give me a lot to blog about. Following this book, I will be reading a book titled, The Legacy of Secrecy, which is a very long book on the JFK assassination.

Stay tuned for more...If you have never read the book 1984, please read it. It will scare you. I am literally frightened (no pun intended). But it will also hopefully stir deep with in you to begin to let your voice be heard so we can take back our Constitution and our Conservative base and restore the faith that the Moderates have robbed from all of Conservatives who feel left without a party any longer. Believe me, there are far more conservatives than moderates and even liberals for that matter. Liberals just do a better job of being heard and advancing their cause than we conservatives do. Hopefully, for you, this book will change your whole outlook on life make you want to engage yourself in holding our elected officials accountable, rather than the day coming where the "thought police" come to round us all up, because we're no longer controllable.

It's late, but you can bet, I'll be doing a whole sermon series on this book alone in future blogs as time permits.
