Today is election day. The stakes really cannot be any higher. I believe the future of our country–and it’s founding document, the Constitution–lies in the outcome of this election.

I believe very tough times are ahead for all Americans if Obama wins and the Democrats consolidate their power in the both houses of Congress. Our country has withstood many ineffective leaders (Jimmy Carter being a prime example), but our country cannot withstand an all-out assault on the Constitution by a single political party that achieves total power in our federal government. The Constitution is not some archaic, outdated document written for another time and another culture. It is as timely and relevant today as it was the day it was ratified more than 200 years ago. Why? Because human nature and the human heart do not change.

The Constitution is primarily a leash that keeps those who have political power from going too far. Obama’s stated objective is to change that. He seeks to change the very nature and character of our country by gutting the Constitution. Make no mistake about it–he will do everything in his power to change it rather than uphold it, if he is elected. That’s what really scares me about the thought of an Obama presidency and a veto-proof majority in the Senate. Unchecked power by immoral, unethical, power-mad people like Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. It’s like an ongoing horror picture/nightmare you never wake up from. This unholy trinity will aim the gun of the government at your head and force you to pay your hard-earned money to them so they can give it to people who will elect them and re-elect them time and again. Wake up!

You really think you’ll be getting a tax break from Democrats! I 100% guarantee you that will not happen. If your household makes $40K a year or more, you’re taxes will go up, and if they haven’t shut down this blog by then (a distrinct possibility under Democrat-controlled government), I’ll be back to say “I told you so.” Take it to the bank–your taxes will go up.

I pray that today our country pulls back from the brink of disaster. It is VITAL that you get out and vote. PLEASE do not think it is over or that your vote does not make a difference. I know that my vote for McCain today, in New York, will be canceled out by several others who will vote for the socialist Obama. There’s no chance McCain will take New York. BUT, there are lots of local races, like the race for my local congressman (the horrible Maurice Hinchey) that we need to vote in. Your vote does count!

And whatever comes today, don’t give up hope. If the socialist Democrats sieze power, it will be a sad day. But we will fight them tooth and nail every inch of the way to protect our freedoms, including freedom of speech and freedom of the press (which will be the first things they go after, mark my words). Don’t give up! Fight them! Vote!!!
