I woke up on November 5th expecting the worst scenario I could imagine, that Barack Hussein Obama won the presidential election and the democrats had swept the House and Senate races.\u00c2\u00a0Newspapers like the New York Times, LA\u00c2\u00a0Times, Chicago Tribune and even our own Hartford Courant\u00c2\u00a0were anxiously awaiting their “anointed ones” ascension\u00c2\u00a0to leader of the “free” world. A\u00c2\u00a0country where government would soon\u00c2\u00a0embrace a decidedly socialist agenda in the sprit of Karl Marx. “from each according to his ability” (what you earn) \u00c2\u00a0“To each according to his need” (give it to those that don’t work). I envisioned a scene\u00c2\u00a0that I understood from visiting relatives from a then Communist Poland.\u00c2\u00a0When\u00c2\u00a0mom brought our cousin grocery shopping on a Wednesday morning, the cousin\u00c2\u00a0expressed utter confusion at the near\u00c2\u00a0empty store and asked “where are all the customers”? Mom replied it was Wednesday morning \u00c2\u00a0and the stores are usually quiet, to which our\u00c2\u00a0cousin\u00c2\u00a0replied “but….\u00c2\u00a0there’s \u00c2\u00a0food on the shelves”! Such are the realities when self sufficiency and hard work is rewarded by confiscation of your earnings.\u00c2\u00a0As government takes more and more away from\u00c2\u00a0the productive to give to the unproductive in the name of\u00c2\u00a0fairness, production spirals ever downward, until it ceases<\/p>\n

But! To my surprise what we were led to believe was wrong, a great majority of voters did not sweep the false prophet of change or his minions into office! The exact opposite was true, everyone understood!\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0The\u00c2\u00a0results of ambition and hard work are not a right, though the opportunity\u00c2\u00a0to advance your \u00c2\u00a0station in life\u00c2\u00a0and the\u00c2\u00a0freedom to seek such advancement without government\u00c2\u00a0interference is.\u00c2\u00a0 Government\u00c2\u00a0will not\u00c2\u00a0be\u00c2\u00a0engineering a society where ambition and hard work is punished and those that lacked the same are rewarded. Whether you move up or not is a matter of free choice, government is not responsible. At their own peril, the media was finally understood to be in concert with the liberal elite in attempting to\u00c2\u00a0deceive the public through unashamed biased reporting. America as we grew\u00c2\u00a0up in was safe!<\/p>\n
