Nov. 19, 2008 (World News Trust) -- No, I don’t mean that
Great Depression. I’m talking about the
inevitable moment -- maybe next week, maybe next
year -- when the Kool Aid wears off and the Obamatrons wake up to
realize their hero offers nothing even approximating hope or
change.
The carefully
calculated speeches -- which have always been
filled with empty, hollow phrases -- will no longer
soothe a battered and desperate populace and the
Obamabots will suddenly recognize that the Pope of Hope has never
been anything more than a human marketing strategy, a product. This
year’s iPhone.
“Yes we can”? Merely the first
three words of a longer phrase: “Yes we can continue to work,
consume, and obey authority without question.”
A great depression,
so to speak, will set in. According to Depression.com, some
people say this condition feels “like a black curtain of despair …
Many people feel like they have no energy and can't concentrate.
Others feel irritable all the time.” Other common symptoms include
"empty" feelings and a sense of hopelessness.
Hopelessness:
how frighteningly appropriate for the inescapable post-Obama
comedown. Change we can bereave
in.
Yes, a great and
unpreventable depression will set
in… but, you betcha, the damage is
already done.
As for that other
Great Depression looming on the horizon, well,
here’s my short-term economic
recovery plan:
-
Cut the military
budget by 75%
-
Eliminate corporate
welfare
-
Return the corporate
tax rate back to where it was in the 1950s
Hey, what can I say? I’m a maverick…
