After a stellar win last week at Cleveland the Broncos are poised to take on the rest of the season with gusto! Now, I know that a lot of people are saying, “They beat the Browns! Of course they beat the Browns!” But let’s face it, even the worst team in the NFL is still a professional football team. And I don’t think that the Browns are the worst team in the NFL. With that said, it is entirely possible for any team in football to beat any other team on any given Sunday.   So this win against Cleveland wasn’t a gimme. 

What I was impressed with in that game was how the Broncos didn’t just fall backwards into the win. They had to work for it, and eventually got it. We didn’t win because of bad officiating – or especially good for that matter. We simply won. And that is good at this point in the season with all of the injuries that our team has suffered. Of course, every team has injuries and still needs to find a way to get that big W. 

So now it’s on to Atalanta. The A-T-L yo!   I think that this is another one that we can win. The Falcons aren’t the best team in the NFL, nor are they the worst. (Whereas I believe that the Broncos are always the best team in the NFL J) This is another game we will have to work to win, but I think it can be done. Tony Scheffler will be back to his full speed, and with Eddie Royal, and #15 in the field of play, things look good. I’m not worried about our running back situation, because let’s face it, you or I could run for 125 yards a game behind the Broncos offensive line.

So let’s go Broncos! Let’s Go!!

Our government is based upon the idea that the centralized federal government will have as little power as possible to infringe on the rights and liberties of the people. With Obama in the White House, and the Dems in the Congress, that system is in serious jeopardy. There will be almost nothing to check the power of either branch of government, and their liberal agenda will almost certainly be passed.  

The conservative movement has to reorganize itself – especially the younger crowd (20-35 year olds) – and realize that it is up to them to get the job done if the country is to be taken care of with conservative values of individual liberty and responsibility once again. I call on all my peers to get involved, and to be the check and balance to the democrat party’s control of government. 

I say this because it had become plain that Obama’s rhetoric is increasingly empty. This was something that I believe that a lot of us knew – I certainly did – but most of the liberal lemmings and so-called ordinary people seemed unable to see through it. All of this, “Change! Change! Change!” malarkey blinded a lot of people who were unhappy (or at least thought they were unhappy) with the Bush administration. Though, if you asked most of them, they wouldn’t be able to tell you what Bush had done to them that was so egregious that they were this dissatisfied. All they knew for sure was that Obama was black, and seemingly articulate, and seemingly charismatic and to them that was just different enough that they wanted to vote for him. Never mind what his policies might be – do we even know that now? Never mind the fact that he has no experience or record to show his ability to accomplish anything. I guess none of that matters as long as he can sound convincingly non-threatening and can make people believe that he will solve all of their problems.

(NOTE: It is worth mentioning that the democrat controlled congress has been a party to the climate of American politics in the last 2 years, and their approval rating was even lower than Bush’s. Why on Earth didn’t Americans seem to want a change from that kind of stagnant cesspool congress?)  

Now post election, I have heard interviews on the news (CNN, MSNBC, FOX) where the reporters have gone to Obama supporters’ neighborhoods and asked why they voted for him. Inevitably the answer is, “Change, and Hope.” Then when asked whether or not they think that Obama can fix the economy, or help them out personally, the answer comes back, “Well, I hope so.” I’m not so sure that that is the kind of hope that they were thinking of when they voted for him. In this case, hope means the ardent wishing for something to happen that is good while not having to really put any effort in yourself or risk any personal responsibility on your success or failure. Real hope involves personal action and responsibility, not waiting for Obama (or any government for that matter) to maybe do something that might possibly help me but might never happen because of the nature of big government bureaucracy. 

And so much for “change!” Is Obama’s idea of change hiring one of the Clinton’s character assassins? Is his idea of change rolling out the same liberal agenda of tax hikes and government programs his party has been touting for the last 50 years? (They still don’t work!!) It looks like his idea of change is more of the same liberal politics. I can’t believe that this many Americans were duped into believing the that Lord Barak the Most Merciful would descend from on high to distribute (or I should say, re-distribute) loaves of bread and fish to the huddled masses of starving middle class Americans who have no other recourse but the rely on a messiah-like figure who they still really don’t even know anything about to save their homes, cars, and lives. What has America come to when our self sufficiency is more reliant on the government than our own ingenuity and drive. That’s the real American dream!       

So, that’s my post election posting. I still call on all young conservatives to unite! Let’s take our country back! Get all your friends to read Locke, and Paine, and Jefferson. Then they will truly understand the nature of our American Democracy, and will want to save it from the European socialist forces at work in our nation.
