2009 - A year of change

2009 has proven to be a very revealing year for me. For about 10 years now, I have been aware of the New World Order, as governed by the CFR, UN, Trilateral Commission, etc. This year, I had the opportunity to watch as the final stages of its implementation have been carried out.

I watched as the Republican Party Faithful have claimed that if only their party was in power, we would not be in this mess. I strained to understand how they can have apparently forgotten the Republicans' role in all this.

I watched as the Democrat Party Faithful went from a bunch of screaming zealots as GWB implemented the stepping stones, to a bunch of (in my best Alfred E. Neuman voice) "Problem? What problem?" people as BHO continued and/or expanded GWB's policies.

For the first time since I joined, I am ashamed to be a member of a Union. I have typically not looked at Unions through the eyes of a Republican, who would claim the unions were an un-natural influence on the market. No, I always looked at them as a PERFECTLY natural result of what the labor market was at the time of their birth. I admired the founders and pioneers of the unions, much as I admire soldiers, who fought, died, and sometimes killed to obtain better conditions for themselves. Make no mistake about it, the Democrats did not latch onto the unions out of a sense of shared ideology. The Democrats recognized a voting block. It was the unions themselves that sold out. They sold out the very sense of self-determination that created them as they supported measure after measure that eroded the freedoms their predecessors won for them.

I am ashamed to have ever called myself a Democrat. I am ashamed to have ever called myself a Republican. I base this shame not on the ideals that I felt, but on what both parties have now become. The parties of the Central Bankers. Both working towards the same ends, albeit from opposite directions.

What I am most scared of, is that if America becomes what now seems inevitable, I will become ashamed to call myself one.

How's that Hope and Change working out for everyone?
