If we truly want to salvage the freedom that still exists in this country, Americans must wake up the children before November 6th.

No, not the children under 18; I’m talking about the naive, grown-up “children” who stare into the daily face of reality and refuse to acknowledge its presence. We must shake them from their slumber, open their glazed eyes, sit them down next to us, and read to them the lessons they should have long ago learned from the Brothers Grimm…….

Fairy tales of old held lessons of good and evil, right and wrong. As youngsters, we didn’t sit down each Saturday morning to episodes of Dora the Explorer or Spongebob Squarepants. We curled up to cartoons– now considered “too violent”– whereby a happy roadrunner and a sneaky coyote each tried to survive another day. We watched simple lessons from The Flintstones as Betty and Wilma repeatedly caught their fun-loving husbands in some sort of trouble and were the loving “voices of reason”. We watched Bugs Bunny and all his friends show us that actions had consequences and the “good guys” always prevailed.

We learned that it pays to be good.

Small, simple, subliminal messages delivered every Saturday morning.

Huh.

I look at the current state of our nation and it appears more than obvious that half of Americans have forgotten the lessons learned in their youth. The narcissistic culture of today tells us to fight– not for morality or goodness– but for our own, personal wants and desires. If you remember back to the tale of Hansel and Gretel, you will recall two children who came upon a gingerbread house and a witch in disguise who promised them candy if they would follow her into the house.

After reading the story, even small minds were able to discern the intended lesson: Don’t be fooled by the promise of goodies. Evil DOES exists and it sometimes comes in a form which is utterly enticing.

Which brings us to this election, doesn’t it?

Folks, we are in a fight between good and evil in this country. Obama and his merry men are promising us “candy” in the form of contraception, cell phones, student loans, entitlements, and other “goodies” if only we will give this administration more time to accomplish their dream of transforming our country. Our president is luring us into his “gingerbread house” full of lies and deceit, a place where it’s abundantly clear will lead to the death of our nation as we know it. He’s asking us to cast away common sense, to dig deep within our own narcissistic minds, and vote for the temporary good of ourselves, not the overall good of our nation.

Many Americans still cannot see the truth.

They don’t see the mask of deception, the cloak of evil. To them, Barack Obama is merely a hard-working man who was handed a rotten hand, a victim of a prior administration.

Nothing is further from the truth.

Obama knows exactly what he’s doing. He stands before the American people every single day, puts on his “I love freedom” mask, and reads a corresponding script which has been typed into his teleprompter, words used to lure and fool the masses. He claims to love freedom as he systematically creates policies which strip us of our God-given rights. He claims to love small businesses as he creates more and more regulations which smother their very existence. He claims to love the poor and hate the “greedy” rich as he parties with and accepts donations from the wealthiest of the wealthy- and as he, himself, lives a life of opulence on the taxpayer dime.

He is a fraud, a masked man.

It’s time to take off his mask, time to reveal the truth. The uneasy, queasiness we feel when we hear Barack Obama’s lies are a result of our own inner conscience telling us that something ain’t right. Our president is shaking the foundation of what we know to be true. He’s telling us to rewrite the lessons of our youth– to believe that wrong is now right, up is now down, evil is now good.…..

We have to ignore what we’ve learned throughout our lives in order to believe in the masked man.

The Brothers Grimm were right all along; their lessons of hard work and standing up to evil pass the test of time. Marxism didn’t exist in the fairy tales of old because there is nothing redeeming about ultimate control, nothing redeeming about redistribution of wealth, nothing redeeming about coercion and deceit.

A witch is a witch is a witch….even when cast within a spell of beauty.

Wake up the “children.” Shake them if you must. Let them know that a cell phone or a promise of contraception will not lead them anywhere but into a gingerbread house of horror.

Kicking and screaming, they will take us with them……

We have become a nation at the mercy of “the children”.

Ism.
